    Land Plane Recommendations

    Hi all. Quick side story...........I had $$$ tied up with EA on a land plane/grader, which I did finally manage to get back from my bank. I dodged a big one there, and I recommend to anyone else who has money tied up with them to contact the bank you paid with and file a dispute. My bank told...

    0% Interest Going Away in October?

    Hi all. A couple of dealers in my area have alluded to Kubota no longer offering 0% interest on tractors and RTVs after the end of September. Anyone able to opine or verify? I'm about to pull the trigger on a package but would like a couple more weeks. Justin

    Ethical Purchase

    Both let me drive around whichever models I wanted to. Both have a L4802 in stock, and they both deliver for free upon purchase. Both will come pick up for service for roughly the same price ($5 per loaded mile) Both are pretty much spot on the price that I get on the Kubota "Build My Kubota"...

    L3902 vs L4802 in 2023

    Ah, yes....... a slow, choppy death. :) Lots of rocks in the banks where many of the roses are, so will have to be extra careful managing the cutting height. There is plentiful brush and logs around here to be grappled, roses and otherwise. It won't be used exclusively for the rose problem.

    L3902 vs L4802 in 2023

    About $3k difference with a basic configuration of loader and bucket. What would be some of the selling points I should look into with the MX5400 vs L4802? MX5400 is definitely wider and longer, and weighs a little more than the L4802 but seems to lift about the same weight on the 3pt?

    L3902 vs L4802 in 2023

    Updated my compare tracker with the Grand Ls and MX5400. The MX has been a consideration but not sure I could make that work financially. The Grand L wins outright on 3pt hitch weight capacity, but the Kubota spec sheet says it's lighter than the 3 smaller Standard L models? Seems odd. Is...

    L3902 vs L4802 in 2023

    Hello all! I am an aspiring first tractor owner and my top choices at the moment are the L3902 and the L4802, both in HST. Most of my neighbors have Kubotas, and I'm blessed with having a Kubota service expert as a neighbor. I have access to several reputable Kubota dealerships in the area...
