Time for an upgrade

[MRCONCDID]

I have a great TC30 4x4 with loader tractor, gear driven. I have never had any problems with it, in all the 10 years I have owned it. Not one issue.

I have found myself exceeding the lift capacity of the FEL. I like everything about this tractor except this one issue.

So I have been looking at a L39 or L48 both will lift my required weight 2500lbs, yes the L48 would do it a lot easier. that said, I am concerned with leaving deep ruts every time I drive it. I also use my tractor
around the house for small jobs, and the L48 would be too big, I do have some land I would like to clear over the next few years which it would be great for.

To questions
1. How much could I sell my TC30 for? less than 600 hours with a bushhog 6ft. mower, 6ft box blade, 5ft hairer and 5ft yard rake.
2. between the L39 or L48 which would be better for lifting and moving this kind of weight? This type of work would take place once or twice a month.

The backhoe is a bonus, It would be very handy to have, and I dought I would ever take it off.

Thanks
MrC.

You'd have to provide some pics of the TC30 and equipment to estimate value. Should be around 12-14 grand worth of equipment. May vary downward if condition is not great or if stored outside.

I can't help you with your other question - sorry.

The L48 would be better for lifting and moving 2,500 pounds on the FEL.

You no longer need the Rotary Cutter, Box Blade, Rake nor "hairer"?

I will post pics. Its always been garaged kept.

I bought this tractor to clear and clean my land, now I have it mostly looking the way I want it. I have a large zero turn for mowing, I would miss the box blade, I haven't change implements in two years.
My business has grown to the point I don't need to hire out my heavy lifting, that is why I am considering the purchase of a stronger tractor.
