John Deere 3038e
I'm considering a John Deere, but not sure which would be comparable to a Kubota L3130 or L3240/L3540 with hyrdo tranny and a high capacity loader. I would 'really' like more hp, 31/32 seems on the low side but 4wd is a necessity and something not so heavy as to tear up a lawn.
thanks guys!

I run my 4310 over my lawn with superturfs/turf specials and there is no issue. The 4310 with me on it and the mower deck are probably north of 3500 lbs The R3s would dig ruts when turning.

OBTW, the 3320 has 32 hp and the 3520 has 37 hp.

thanks for the info guys-I saw a 'turbocharged' 3120 (?) on ebay and never realized a turbo charger was offered on a small tractor. does it run well? is it more fuel efficient?

The 3520 and the 3720 are turbocharged. The members who have them already swear by them so far.
