Buying Advice Trading B2320 for larger L. more land=more tractor

[displacedPA]

I have loved the B2320 we bought new in 2011 but im at a cross roads of sorts. We bought a home place with 20 acres mainly fields and some woods with a half mile drive the will need work in the years to come. I would like the abllity to plow and disc fields to plant better pasture grasses for the cows. I may end up staying with the B2320 Im just curious about what you fellas have to say about what I wanna do and what Ive got to work with. Im not apposed to used but new has its perks as well. I sent the below request to a few dealers to see what they would give me for my B2320 package on trade. I may sell on craigslist to and cut out the middle man.


B2320 package I have
B2320HST 100ish hours
LP1548BB'
LPRTR0550 Reverse tine tiller
Hardee brand 48'' roatry cutter.

What im considering trading up to
I really liked the 40 series 3240-4240 and I like the looks of the 3901 or 4701 Im just not sure about all the EPA stuff on the new ones. Im not apposed to the new units just dont know how tough they will be in the long run and how much it will cost to service these new systems. Here is my criteria for what im looking at.

Used:

Id like 30-45 PTO HP

HST or gear shift is fine.

FEL

open or cabed station
------------------------------------------
New:

Open station (cab is prob to much $)

HST
FEL
5' bush hog
tiller maybe depends on the price of the package.

I sold a Kubota B3300SU so I could buy a Kubota 'Grand L' L3560.

Man, the L3560 is one great tractor. Well worth the price. L3560 comes with everything except a horn.

Great power to weight ratio.
