    Again, I'm no expert, but the L is build on a sturdier and heavier frame with generally higher capacities for everything (FEL, 3-pt, etc.) Someone who knows better could give you more details.

    More flow on the hydraulics. The tractor is longer and wider. Larger tires.

    B is like a WR, L is more like a TE.

    How's that?

    Also in the L series there is the Standard L and there is the Grand L. The Grand L is a deluxe tractor. It also has more lift capacity on the FEL and 3PH. An L3240 or 3540 would be a very nice tractor for you.

    The B2650 looks like a good middle weight contender in the orange corner.

    Large frame compacts rock! I remember the first Deere 4720 I got to play with.... 60hp was quite surprising in that little package.

    Great as long as the TE doesn't break down every season:p

    I was going to tell you of a B26 on e-bay, but it's gone already!:picard:I am sorry. I didn't think it would go that fast. He ended auction early, like after a day or less. Someone got a deal. :picard:It had a grapple, thumb on hoe, rake.:doh: These are real working machines for smallerish tractors.

    The B2650 is not enough power to be under the tier IV emissions. So it it does not have a dpf. I'm pretty sure it has the same engine as the old B2920 so it probably would be easy to get 29hp out of it.

    I was wondering what the cutoff was in HP range the EPA website I thought stated all transportable diesel engines movable under their own power were subject to the tier 4?
    We ran into a similar CF years back under tier I/II when buying an air compressor at work and literally had to add it to the plant's air permit -even the folks at ADEM thought it was foolish

    I think the rule for NOx emissions is for 56kW/75HP and Particulate PM emissions 19kW/25.5hp

    I think you are right with 25.5hp.

    Kinda like Mahindra did with the Max 28. The same engine is in the 26. I think they are rating them at a lower rpm to be under tier IV emissions. When you say easy to get the 29hp do you think it's in a tune or a re-flash or is there a throttle stop or something or maybe something as simple as running it wide open on a stock tune? Makes me think this is one of those "Volkswagen" deals.

    I just looked the 2920 was rated at 2800RPMs and the 2650 is rated at 2500rpm. I thought they might have made a couple tweaks to the injection pump to reduce power. I bet everything is the same.

    It's plausible that everything is the same. Like you said though it could be in the fuel mapping.
