GT3200 vs. SC

[ASEmaster]

So is the SC much bigger as far as footprint in tighter places goes for mowing? than the 3200??
I'm thinking the pull behind mower on an SC would be more versatile than a mid mount lawn tractor. I already have a larger CK30 Kioti for my large field but theres places on my lot I cant get into after building the house on it.
Also the front blade could be handy for gravel driveway maintenance if it's more maneuverable/ easier than the rear blade on the Kioti.
Throw me some pro's/ cons of the SC over the 3200 please...

Quite abit of a difference in my opinion.

The sc is definitely a size up. Both have pretty good turning radiuses, I'm assuming the 3200 is a bit tighter.

HP is close, 24 vs 25, but the diesel will flat outwork the 25 gas. Better fuel economy as well. and 4 WD. and 3 -pt. Weighs about twice as much. You can put a front blade on the 3200 as well as the 2400. I would go with the angle kit on either, I love mine.
I used to have garden and super garden tractors, but switched to a Sub-compact for the convenience. (Although, I also have a Cub ZTT to mow my sloped lot with.)
I keep the front blade on all year, I'm always doing some grading with dirt, gravel, and snow in the winter. I like blading snow vs blowing.

If you're looking at tight places, I would think the 3200 with the mmm would b better, followed by the sc with mmm. I think the rear mount mower would be harder to get in tight spots......although I've never owned a rear finish mower.
Of course, the sc in "only" about 3-4K more than the 3200, and you get quite a bit more.....
All depends on what you're after.

Hope I didn't confuse you 2 much......

good luck!

To have the mower in the back is not the most manuverable at all compared to a belly deck.

Exactly. Trail mowers are kind of a pain.

I dunno ASE. Given you already have the Kioti, I'd look into an SLTX or GTX 1000 series. Yeah, they're not made for pulling stumps or turning dirt, but they do have fully serviceable transaxles and will be a very comfortable and maneuverable mower for you. Plus save you loads of cash.

Thats where I started was looking into the smaller rigs but dang it...it's like boats- theres always the next size up and the perceived benefits of a 'heavier' built machine.
It would get to a point where too big of machine would negate the reason for getting a smaller (than my kioti) one.
