Anyone done a comparison of the 2615/2816 HST and the 3215/3316 HST? I've got until December 7th to make a decision on what's best for the poultry house cleanout. That or just rent this time around.
Some things I've noticed as positives for the 2615/2816 is the 0%financing for 60 months and of course the $3-4k price difference.
The positive I see on the 3215/3316 is hp, the loader lift capacity, and the attachments available for the loader.
By the time you pay the interest you are looking at about $6k price difference.
I'd be going with the TLB combo.
Are there any major differences I'm overlooking besides the hp and the loader? Same HST tranny?

The tranny is different, the 3215/3316 tranny is quieter and smoother. The operator platform is more roomy and comfortable. The loader control is located on the Rt fender and not on a bracket on the loader. Just a few of the improvements I can think of. Good luck with your decision.

General tractor philosophy: nobody's ever complained that he bought a tractor with too much horsepower. The other way around, though, has been heard a lot.
