Man thats sweet congratulation's I am getting ready to get either a 3240 or 4240 my brain says 4240 my wallet says 3240. I was hoping you would be able to supply some pics of the factory rear remotes and 3rd function valve/joystick. I am especially interested in where the controls for the rear remotes are located. I am wanting a nice clean install so I was thinking getting them right from the factory but I cant find any pictures of factory installed remotes only DIY installs.PLEASE

You can compromise with the L3940 HSTC

I'd suggest not even thinking about it and going with the L4240. The only thing that would make me compromise to the L3240 between those to is the physical dimensions... if I absolutely needed it to be smaller I'd go with the L3240.

Note that the physical dimensions between the L4240 asnd L3940 are pretty much the same.

That is my problem other than the cost is the size of the 4240. Main reason I would want to go from the 3240 to the 4240 is on the 4240 you can put the larger loader(853). The 3940 uses the same loader as the 3240. Yea the exrta HP is nice but but if I were going to 3940 mies well go to the 4240.

I went with the 3940 myself.
plenty of power, and you can uase the mid pto option for a mower.

I would have gone with the 3940 myself had she been a little lighter. I went with the 3540, no regrets.

Here we use the mid PTO for a snow blower

You guys are giving me Grand L and Grand L cab envy!

You will have a cab machine in time. For me its a must, but i think everyone gets to the point (or age) that they just want to do the tractor gig in total comfort. My dealer told me that his cab tractor sales (kubota) are at an all time high.

Well, folks, after lurking for ages and learning tons from posts by Talon Dancer and countless others, I finally took delivery of an L3240HSTC with CAB and LA724 FEL, Snowblower, Bush Hog Rotary Cutter, Box Blade and Weight Box.

I also have the 3rd function for use in a 4n1 bucket which will be delivered later as well as 2 rear remotes for controlling the snowblower's chute rotation and angle. These could also be used for top and tilt in the future.

Only have 10 hours on the beast so far and I haven't done too much damage (knocked the railing apart at the cottage accidentally and took 3 hours gluing it back together Got to get used to the FEL's reach. Filled some ditches, did some grading, moved soil around, all seemed natural, especially because I had read so much on these forums in advance about the HST Plus features and how to use them. But I am definitely a newbie.

Thanks to all

Thats a great looking tractor!

Just curious what size Bush Hog and Box Blade you got?

Man, that is a fine looking machine. The cab interior shot is really nice, too. Looks like an aircraft cockpit in there. Congratulations - you're going to love that li'l beast.
