Future upgrade options

[G-Man]

One of these day I want to upgrade from My B7500 to either a L3700SU or L3800. For the life of me I see no real difference in the 2. I think the 3700 is 100 lbs lighter. Question. Which one would be the suggested to buy.

Opinions will be more the welcome..

Thanks and regards

You might not be able to still get a l3700 su as I think supply is limited. I think they were trying to use up some older parts as the only difference I know of is older style sheet metal and hood and gauges, and I think maybe a somewhat lower price.
I have a 3800 and love it

I have the L3200 and love it. Unless you need the horses - running a big tiller, or pulling plows through the ground - you get to save a couple thousand dollars from the L3800 price.
I think the L3700SU was all that Kubota had left, and you had to spring for the HST. I personally prefer the gears if you are doing loader work - I only dig/push in 1st, which limits speed to a mile an hour. If you hit something, the wheels merely start slipping. With HST you can be doing 4-1/2 mph in the low range, and do damage to the tractor/loader when you hit a big rock...
On the other hand, HST is a lot easier to drive doing the loader work.
