Looking for a measurement on the L series?

I'm with Bluegill -- L3800 seems pretty unwieldy for small-scale mowing. It'll do less damage to the lawn in two wheel drive I think.

Mowing 6.5 acres is small? It takes me 3-4 hours on my B2620 with a 60" mmm. It used to take me 8 hours on my old agway rider. I was looking at getting a 72" rear discharge 3pt mowing deck with what ever I get.

I have also just planted 150 fruit trees and plan on putting in another 200+ next year so I need to run a air blast sprayer and my B2620 just can't run the air blast sprayer. This is why I need to up grade, plus I really really really need a backhoe right now as I just sold my excavator. I listed my excavator on CL and it sold in less than 24 hours for my asking price, I thought it would take a couple of weeks. So now I have a bunch of open projects with no way to complete. I don't want to be buying again, but don't want to over buy either.

Ha, no that ain't small.

Not small, but small for a 40-50hp tractor. Huge lawn for a small ridder though. Some times better to have more than one machine, than one to do everything with. Smaller tractor will run a 72" RFM easily.

My house sits on 400 acres, but my yard is only about 2 acres. I wouldn't want to mow the whole place!

When you flip the front wheels and the tractor is a 4x4 and you have a loader your wallet will tell you why you do not do this. I did and crushed the bearings. Leads to bad gear and shaft wear_ all costs alot of money with doit yourself labor. I even needed a new hub casting piece.
