L3200 vs. L3240? Price?

[Snoho3]

Anybody out there able to give me a quick answer as to the difference between an L3200 and L3240? I am offered an L3200 (new) from a dealer for 18,500 - good deal? It has a FEL but nothing else. Thanks in advance - Snoho3

I believe the 3240 is a Grand L. Heavier and more Extras.

Really no comparison. GL is way more tractor than the L3200.

I'm sure tractors are priced differently from State to State but that's not for off from what I paid for my new L3240 4x4 w/fel 2 months ago.

Sounds pretty high. There are dealers around here advertising a base model L3200 (DT) with loader for under $15K. Add another $1000-1500 for HST.


Also, as mentioned, the L3240 is a lot more tractor. The L3200 is closer to the B3200 spec/size wise than it is the L3240. When you step up to the Grand L you also have a choice of different loaders, backhoes, lots more options, etc.

Thanks for the quick responses. Much appreciated. Shooter, my 18,500 quite was for a L3200, souinds like you bought a 3240 for about the same price. That makes my price high if the 3240 is a bigger more well equiped machine. I didn't do any dickering though. I note that the L3200 is a 3 cylinder machine - am I sacrificing anything by not having 4 cylinders? Horsepower is horsepower I imagine, but are there maintenance cosiderations of one over another? Again, thanks for your thoughts.

My local kubota dealer is notoriously high on price. i was quoted similar for an l3200 with loader quick attach cruise control and 1 rear remote with r1s. they wanted upwards of 26k for a base 3240 with the smaller loader. no other options. I wont be buying a Kubota at least not from them.

I was looking at the L3200, but bought a used, like new L3800 (14 hours). I wanted gear drive w/live PTO. The 3 cyl diesels are a fine power plant by the way. The L3800 is a lot of tractor for the price! :thumbsup:

Can you be more specific?

Almost 700# more for the GL

GL longer wheelbase
GL has HST plus
GL uses larger engine
GL has bigger loader.
GL has more 3pt lift capacity
