Is there anything specific you are wanting to know? My parents have a L3200 and I have a B3200, both setup the same with Ag tires and a loader.
A few of my observations having run both with the same implements, same uses:
L3200 is a heavier and 'beefier' tractor.
L3200 has a heavier built loader despite having almost the same lift capacity as the B3200.
L3200 has the skid steer quick attach vs the pin type quick attach on the B3200.
The loader arms stick out much further in front of the tractor on the L, this can be a good thing or a bad thing.
The L rides a little smoother in the field and the engine is smoother at PTO rpm.
3pt hitch on the L is position control, but is not as smooth as that on the B.
L has better suspension on the seat.
The B3200 is easier to get on and off of, especially from the right hand side.
The flat platform is nice on the B, room to stretch out a bit more and move your feet around during a long day.
The B3200 is noticeably more compact and nimble than the L3200.
You don't have to push in the clutch to start the B3200, can be started while off the tractor.
The quarter inching 3pt on the B is better for using a box blade or the like for a nice finish grade, but not as good for field work like bush hogging.
Both have plenty of ground clearance
Both have a nice quick cycle time on the loader
Both have annoying 3pt check chains, although they are different designs
Both are excellent quality machines with a basic design that has remained mostly unchanged for many years
Overall, I find the B3200 handier for quick jobs, getting in and around tight places like in the barns, and work that requires a light foot print like seeding, landscaping and mowing wet areas (with Ag tires and a fairly light weight the B3200 can get across some amazingly soft ground without getting stuck). The L3200 is better for prolonged field work, heavier pulling and heavier loader work.

Weight defines what a tractor can do. HP just affects how fast it gets the job done. As a general rule, not counting some PTO tasks.

Verticaltrx, That was a nice comparison.
