I was looking at the L3010HST with the LA481 loader. Here in New Hampshire, I was quoted $19500 for tractor, loader, loaded R4s, and foldable ROPS. I ended up going with the L3710HST, LA681 loader, loaded R4s, and foladble ROPS for $21500.

I'm looking at a FEL on either a B2910 or an L3010 (HST Tractor, FEL, ROPS, Rear Blade, Balast Box, Loaded R4s). I think that for most of what I do, the 2910 would be fine but am woried that that once I start using it, I'll want the bigger machine. The 3010 has more lifting capacity, etc and weighs alot more but the 2910 has a smaller footprint and could get into spots that the 3010 may not. I've got a 6 acre lot with only about 1.5 acres clear. I plan to clear some more of the lot and I have many large rocks to move. I also have a 300' driveway to plow, grade, and maintain along with various landscaping jobs. When I was at a dealer yesterday, he showed me a rock he moved with the 2710 and I was amazed. Of course, he knows what he's doing and he only moved it 50' or so. I've never owned a tractor and so the same type of operation would probably take me days if I had to roll it. I'm thinking that the L3010's power/weight could make up for my lack of experience initially and then be even more useful later on. tjb

I got a price today from a dealer on the L3010 4WD/HST with the LA481 loader, HD bucket, ROPS, and loaded R4s of $19500. This too seems high compared to what others have posted here. It seems like New Hampshire area dealers are quite a bit more expensive then other areas of the country. The L3010 certainly looks rugged though.

Thanks Eddie. NH has no sales tax so I guess the price is quite high. Sorry for the newbie question but what is a hyrdaulic top link? Also, is a mid-mount PTO used for anything but underbelly mowers? Would front attachments like a snowblower use the mid-mount PTO? Was the brushhog you got in your deal a JD or something else? I might be going to talk to my dealer again today for some price adjustments... Thanks...
