LX3310 vs. L3302

[Farmerwantob]

I have had a B2620 for 12+ years. 800 hours and love it. I use it to move dirt, brush and snow mostly. Some grading and gravel road work. 7 acres mostly level with field/grass and about 3 acres of wooded area. Looking for more power to move snow, dirt and gravel and a grapple to deal with the emerald ash bore devastation (30+ trees). B2620 can't pull LP landscape box if full of wet snow or gravel.
Looking at an L3302 verses an LX3310 with third function valve for grapple. Dealer has the price at only a $400.00 difference.
Better half likes the LX because of the tilt steering wheel and comfy seat but when getting the B2620 years ago it was her trying/driving it that sealed the deal. Aware of LX has mid PTO but have ZD21 to mow with, only foreseeable possible use would be a snowblower in the future.
Thanks

If you're looking for more tractor the L3302 is the obvious choice. It has more weight and that will definitely help with some of the work you've been struggling with. But, if you're looking at a lateral purchase, you can't go wrong with the feature rich LX3310.

Tractor capability is more closely correlated to tractor weight than any other single (1) specification.

Sufficient tractor weight is more important for most tractor applications than increased tractor horsepower. Bare tractor weight is a tractor specification easily found in sales brochures and web sites, readily comparable across tractor brands and tractor models, new and used.

When considering a tractor purchase bare tractor weight first, tractor horsepower second, rear axle width third, rear wheel/tire ballast fourth.

Dealer has the price at only a $400.00 difference.

Despite the name, the LX is really a B chassis, and was even named a B until just recently. I can only tell you that when I looked at these units as an upgrade from a smaller B, it became obvious it was going to be a minor benefit. The L models are much more tractor and will give you more capabilities.

I think you should consider looking at some other brands. Kubota (and JD) are seriously behind the times and way overpriced in this range.

Me thinks............I'd also consider an L3902 to really get more capability.....if I was in your situation.
