    Upgrading ? LX or L series

    I suggest going on the Kubotausa website and comparing the price and specs of the LX3302 compared to the L3560LE. That is what I did, and made the easy decision to get way more tractor for not much more money. I got R4s because of my terrain and intended use.

    New L4060 LE add-ons

    Congratulations on your purchase. I have been waiting for my R4 tires to be delivered for 3 weeks now......Hopefully I can pick up my 3560 next week. I'm getting the 3rd function valve installed to go along with an Armstrong Ag grapple (local Texas manufacturer) and 2 rear remotes as well for...

    Dealer warns front axle will wear out if left in 4x4

    I'm picking up my new L3560LE next week, and I really appreciate these comments (including the sarcastic ones :-) I have a feeling my tractor will almost always be in 4WD given my hilly terrain, lack of mowing, and absence of any hard surfaces on my property. This thread has helped me have one...

    Important KTAC Insurance Update

    I'm in the process of buying a new L3560LE. I am not financing. I started researching KTAC, and found on their website that they clearly indicate that the replacement value is only for tractors/implements financed through Kubota Credit. Since I am paying cash, I would only be able to get...

    Looking at grapples

    Shopping for a buying tractors/implements is so fun......I have just purchased my first tractor (L3560LE with LA805 loader) which is set for delivery next month, and I am also researching grapples (and box blades, and pallet forks...). I am leaning strongly toward an Armstrong AG BGR-mini 60"...

    L3560LE 4WD HST

    I pulled the trigger on the L3560LE with the LA805 loader and R4 tires! My dealer needs a few weeks for the R4 tires to arrive, and to install the 3rd function valve and remote. Very excited! Thank you all for your helpful advice.

    L3560LE 4WD HST

    Not according to the quotes I got from my dealer....Each equipped with 4wd, R4 tires and a 3rd function valve came out to a price difference of $5,029. And that is with the LA805 loader on the L3560. I'll be able to get bigger box blade with the L3560, so that will cost a couple hundred bucks...

    L3560LE 4WD HST

    After continuing my research (including much helpful advice on this forum), I think I have decided to go with the L3560LE over the L2501. After getting quotes from my dealer for both, it seems that the $5k difference is relatively small for what seems to be much more tractor -- weight, width...

    L3302 for first tractor?

    Beautiful property. My place is also in the Texas hill country, and I'm in the process of buying my first tractor. I have received a lot of very helpful advice from the experienced folks on this forum. I am still leaning hard toward the l2501 given my expected uses and the excellent advice I...

    Initial implements for L3560LE?

    Here is another question in connection with my upcoming purchase of a Kubota 2501HST with FEL and 3rd function valve. I'm planning for R4 tires and rear wheel spacers. The primary intended use for my tractor is brush clearing and road maintenance. My property here in the Texas hill country is...

    Which grapple to choose for my L2501 HST? Landpride, EA or MTL?

    Thank you all very much for the input. Very helpful. I just watched a Youtube video from Homestead Bandwagon where he does the same activities with a root rake grapple (short tines) and a rock rake grapple (long tines). It was very enlightening. Although I'm still not sure which direction I...

    After much research including reading dozens of threads here and other forums, I'm about ready to pull the trigger on my first tractor -- a Kubota L2501 HST. Since one of the primary uses will being clearing cedar brush (here in the Texas hill country we refer to juniper as "cedar"), I am...
