L series, what is comparable to the B8200 series.

[Rob]

A question for those in the know as i need some guidance on the subject.
Being a very happy " B" series owner so far i am thinking about taking onboard an earlier model "L" series tractor, what would be suitable model to compare with my B8200.
I appreciate the L series are a heavier duty machine , but how much more heavy duty, and how best should i compare the two models , HP , size and capability.
I guy mentioned an L2201 or 2301 or similar would be compareable to the B8200, does it sound about right, if not whaat would be closer.

any help would be appreciated so as to help me choose a model to add to the collection.

Perhaps look at the earlier L185 etc:

Pretty hard workers in that series

I don't know anything about the B series. But I had a L245 bought used and worked hard. Had it for years and could not kill it! Great old tractors!

L175 or L185 would be as close of a match as you could get. I think the L1500 and L1501 would be your equivalent in England.
