I had to make the choice between the L3800 and the L4600. After looking at all the specs and prices and listening to my better half I decided on the L4600 4x4 with LA764 loader, 2 sets of wheel weights, rear work light and a set of hyd remotes and a set of forks. The dealer had to order a couple things and I was out of town for a while, but it's finally here. First job was to pick up a big bale, mine weigh about 1100 plus or minus. The loader picked it up with no trouble, but was a little light in the rear so I put on my box scrape. That helped some but I think another set of weights or some fluid might be in order. I then cleaned out some lumber left over from a construction job. I loaded 24 sheets of half inch plywood, I figure according to google, 53lbs each around 1200lbs and then added 8 rubber horse matts at probably 50lbs each, total 1600? It picked it up but barely then the back wheel came of the ground and promptly dumped the horse matts on the ground. I know that's a lot and it's a long way in front of the tractor, but I had to check it out. Very happy with the loader, still going to add more weight for safety factor, very happy with the shuttle shift.
