Mowing Anyone mowing with a L series???

[High Compression]

I'm looking at a L32 or L38 with turf tires. I plan to plow a 800 ft dirt road in the winter and my neighbor's driveways to help finance the purchase (the reason I'm looking at a L). I'd also like to mow the lawn around my house. It's about 2.5 acres which I currently do with my BX. Anyone out there finish mow with a L? It's heavy, but will loaded turfs rut my lawn?

Thanks for the help!

My B3030 with loaded turfs rutted my yard. My L5740 with loaded R4's destroys my yard. FYI

dont turn the wheels sharp while going fast or you will tear the grass up my 7040 with R1 does bad i tore it up with an l3800 with R4s

It depends a lot on your yard conditions. My soil drains fast and is fairly dry. I finish mow with the L3400, R4's, and a Woods RD7200. Works well for me. I mow my smaller areas with my JD X748 because it is much more maneuverable.

Here's what loaded turf tires on a B3030 can do to your lawn during the spring thaw. I did this while hauling firewood to my front porch.

Thanks for the feedback! Now I just need to find a good price on a 32/38...

My zero turn will do that much damage or more during spring thaw. I leave footprints walking on the lawn when the frost comes out.
Once the ground stiffens up from thaw, I mow the lawn with a JD 850 and a Kioti DK 35 with loaded R-4's (both similar in size and weight to an L-series) and it doesn't do any lawn damage.

Make sure you test out the 3PH with a heavy implement on it. Some are jerky. The ones that are, some people can live with it, some cant. It may be a dealbreaker for you. If the hitch is okay, it is a great tractor for the money.

I mow our lawn with the L5740 with loaded R4's. I always take the loader off, and haven't had any issues. I wouldn't mow right after a rain, and I stay off the lawn in the spring when it's really wet.

I mow with a L5740 cab, loaded R4's and a woods RD8400 hardly ever take the FEL off. Might take the bucket off now and then but not usually. Not right after alot of rain Like others have said and Change up my mowing pattern so any ruts (if any) somewhat even out. No real issue's to speak of really.
