Well, I bought my TC30 about six months ago and some of the specs are now fading in my mind. But, I did compare the two. The biggest factor in choosing the TC30 over the L3000 was the open operator station on the TC30. The TC30 has lots of room for my feet and legs and is easy to get on and off. My TC30 has hydro drive which is not available on the L3000. I can't remember the hydraulic lift specs on the L3000 but my 3pt is rated for 1,600 lbs and my loader is rated for 880lbs. Good luck.
