Very good chance Thomas you know how I get :.)

Tractors use to excite me. I would stop at the dealer all the time to see what's new. Now with the tier4 junk, I drive right by. The EPA killed the diesel engine. Trucks are worse, you have to add cow pee pee.

Urea is not piss. Not even close.

Say it isn't so...

If I had only one TLB it would be my BX23

That said... my brother originally wanted a BX and was on the fence about a B

He ended up with an L3800 and he and the wife like it alot.

He also did not want to get into the latest smog set up so when he was looking at an L... the 3800 just happened to be available and they took the 25k plunge.

Good Luck and I will be following for updates.

So wife wants to buy me a l3300'with hoe for 25000 what do u all think of that setup?

I think your wife sounds like a pretty smart woman. After having tractors all our life, my wife talked me into getting a brand new tractor back in 2008.... and there's not a day goes by that I don't thank her for it and she smiles because we both know we did the right thing....and at her insistance.
Unknown to us at the time was that 5 years in the future we would have to use the tractor every day for 2years so far to rebuild our land after a flood. That tractor has made it all possible. Sometimes the best decisions are made by instinct and not by overthinking it. My advice is to listen carefully.

BTW, The sweet deal I made with my wife was "Ok, you and I will go look at brand new tractors at a variety of dealers, but most of the times we are going to go together. So get ready for it because it's going to be a summer of Saturday morning tractor visits.."
She agreed, made the sacrifice, and then sat right beside me when we found the one we wanted and bargained price with the salesman.

All in all, that was a priceless experience. She spotted things I would have certainly overlooked.....things like just how easy it is to turn the seat around to use the backhoe. Or how the pedals were located in regards to my bad hip. And she was right darn near every time. I learned that you are rarely lucky enough to buy that much enjoyment with money.
good luck to you,
rScotty

ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOUR WOMAN

I know! What a woman! If my wife told me to go buy a bigger tractor I'd have a heart attack!

Dude I loved my B3300SU! In my opinion, it's a more capable tractor than many, if not most, of the L-series.
You'll want the ability to add LOTS of weight to it for certain tasks. Loaded tire were not enough.
