Advice on upgrading to 30-40 HP Kubota w/FEL

[wendol]

I've continue to see a lot of used L3301, and L3901 tractors for sale, but being old school, still have a lot of concerns over the new emissions.

Tractors I'm considering (with HST) include:
L3200
L3240
L3540
L3560 (my first choice if I could afford one)
L3800
L3940

Are there any of these that I should remove from my list due to reliability issues?

Thanks for any and all help and suggestions!!!

In my year long quest, I researched the Ls pretty hard. But money is a reality so I may just go with a BX25D.....

The 40 series Grand L are rock solid machines. Only found one person who had an L3240 that needed major repair. I continue to see them with 2000 plus hours fetching 18-20 grand. The 10 series are older, but between here and TBN, they seem to be the Gold Standard for what a Grand L should be. The new 60 series has quite the following here, with little to no issues in the DPF department.

The Standard Ls are solid performers. Not a lot of options, and loaders are a little light for their size. But the track record is proven.

The Grand Ls hold their values extremely well. A 15 year old L3710 was on my dealers lot for $19750. Probably its original selling price in 2002.... it was gone in a week.
