They use the same engine but are otherwise much different. Basically, depends upon whether you want the convenience of a HST or the efficiency of a gear type transmission. Cab/no cab depends upon multiple factors. I've bought/used/sold many tractors but have bought only a single new tractor...

Agreed. Limiter chains are just about mandatory without position control.

I'm not familiar with the draft control system on the MX series and do not know if it is optional or standard equipment. The draft control system on the M series is not top link sensing as is the optional, Rube Goldberg, system used on the GL series, but rather, is internal as is any such draft...

External draft control mechanism of L6060 connects to external position control mechanism and interacts with same. If you view mechanism you will understand why/how draft control mechanism can make position control mechanism "sticky."

#2 will NOT happen. Draft control is a very uncommon on CUTs, even large CUTs. It is also an option that you neither need nor want unless you have AG tires and plan to plow or do some other heavy tillage. Setting up the Rube Goldberg draft control mechanism properly is time consuming and few...

GL series draft control mechanism is completely different than that used on M or MX tractors.

The Kubota draft control system as used on the GL series is a Rube Goldberg mechanism. Dealers do not know (or care) how to properly adjust such systems to function properly, and improper installation and set-up is problematic. You might try lubricating all pivot points in the system and, by...

Tractors, even larger farm tractors, are not designed for excavation. Borrow the mini-ex and/or rent a skid steer.

Much too heavy.

As previously stated, the B3350, especially the early ones, had regeneration issues. Accordingly, all 3350s have a poor reputation and are nearly always sold with a heavy discount. Over the model run, Kubota worked out most of the regeneration issues but even the latest models are NOT tolerant...

An optional ratcheting mechanism is available for the B/LX series. Doubt you will find one for the L series.

Few if any running changes in GL**60 series since introduction.

I use all of my rough-cut mowers as HD finish mowers and keep the blades sharp. Sharp blades cut considerable better and require a bit less power and fuel. Yes, I go through blades much more quickly than do others because I dress them after nearly each use. Do not sharpen blades if you...

Agreed. Three-inch trees are too much for a 2501.

Agreed, depending upon property, conditions, etc. I've owned many tractors, mowers, etc., and consider my L6060 the best of all for most of what I have done, aside from lawn.

Understood. The slip clutch sold with a new mower may be adjusted properly for the mower in question but I certainly would not rely upon such assumption. Moreover, mowers have different gearboxes depending upon cutting capacity. Any quality mower sold with a factory adjusted slip clutch will...

Bingo. Good practice.

PTO slip clutches are sold for use with tractors of various HP and must be adjusted for use with a specific tractor/mower combination. Failure to do so usually results in a clutch that is adjusted too tightly for use with your tractor. In such conditions the slip clutch MAY be adjusted properly...

If machine to be used mostly for mowing, get a ZTR. Follow manufacturers recommendations regarding tires on FWA machines. Get 4 turf tires or R14Ts. Do not try to mix. If I was going to purchase a SCUT, I would buy the deluxe JD competitor (1025R?) to the Kubota BX series in order to get...

Standard practice when using mowers on tractors without position control, e.g., Ford 9/2 Ns, etc., is to install limiter chains. Such chains attach between the mower and tractor top link attachment, one per side. The chains establish the low point of the three point arms. Your lift arms...
