JonnyRay, Please keep me posted. Great for you & exciting. We had a bad storm last night & I told my wife … I need a tractor asap. I’ve got 3 huge trees down & 6 smaller ones. Using my truck, trailer and 2 Sthil MS 261 CM’s is wearing me out. I just think with a tractor / grapple my...

DVR, Thank you for the response. I’m interested in any thoughts on this folks so please jump in w both feet.

1st gear, I’m looking at similar implement costs: Virnig grapple, forks, Kubota 805 FEL, 3rd FVK, Land Pride box scraper, Land Pride landscape rake & hopper

1st gear, great intel. Thank you for sharing. I was looking at the new L4802 before I saw the FEL capacity & extra goodies on the L3560 & L4060 w the 805 loader. I’ve got 19 acres. 12 which is fairly finished & just mowed twice annually & has horses on it through October. I’ve got...

Brian, Thank you for the update. If you go to check it out … could you post a few pics? If not, all good. I know you’re busy w your L4701. Take care Sir.

Griz, really enjoy your input & thoughts. That’s my one fear w the cab. One of our fields has some low-hanging limbs. Plus side of the cab is I’ve gotten poison ivy twice this summer clearing russian olive w chainsaws and pushing through the vines … just brutal. I think the grapple /...

Griz, My wife has been giving me grief about all the research I’ve been doing on this. She’s usually spot on but since this is all new to me … figure measure a few times & cut once. I don’t recall exactly how much less the Limited Edition was … your guesstimate sounds close though. I was...

The Ltd Edition is a bit less expensive. I was initially looking btw MX5400, L4701 now replaced by L4802. So started chatting w folks here and at dealers regarding new L4802. Grand L4760 was out of my price range w implements. L4802 was my initial interest though I noticed smaller HP Grands...

You’re spot on regarding the rear rims being pushed out further. I’m doing that for certain to widest point. I read i. the forum (not the post) somebody had a L4060 and added 2.5 inch spacers after pushing his rims out. He indicated stability increased noticeably & tractor was made re stable...

Griz, Bro-Tek recommend 3 inch spacers for each rear wheel. The gent I spoke w at Bro-Tek mentioned that spacing on fronts is not required & potentially puts extra stress on front axles during loader / grapple work. He indicated the cab adds several hundred pounds and the wider stance will...

I’m working w Messicks on a Grand L4060 HSTC at the moment. I live in Warrenton, VA & our property is hilly. I’ve had several “holy moly” moments on my 60 inch cut ZT. I spoke w Bro-Tek this week & they recommended at least 3 inch spacers on both rear wheels. Front spacers not required...

Great feedback and insight. Thank you for taking the time to respond with such detail, information & clarity of thought. Much appreciated. The “orphan comment” wasn’t me … it was me responding to another who Orange Tractor Member who indicated the L4701 / L4802 are orphans. According...

Cath, I think you’re missing something … the “orphan model” outsold the MX last year 3 to 1 at 3 different dealers I’ve spoken with. I will tell you … I like the FEL lift capacity of the MX5400. We’ll see ….

I’m deciding between the following 3 tractors: Grand L4060 - 51k w implements L4802 - 55k w implements MX 5400 - 57.6k w implements My goal was to keep all in cost under 60k

I’m betting they’ve got 3% - 7% wiggle room off total price to buyer.

Sat down w my dealer last week. He indicated that btw their 3 locations in Virginia they are only slated for 3 L4802’s. He was frustrated as all 3 dealer locations sold dozens & dozens of the L4701 this past year. He said it was one of their best selling compact Kubotas. They seem to move a...

Sparky Prep … well played Sir. I’m still waiting to hear from my dealer. I will reach out to him Friday. Looking at the Grand L4760 as well. Want the L4802 but I am not sure when they will arrive. The Grand L4760 is more than I’d like to pay … we’ll see.

Yes Sir … you’ve arrived at the right place. The 4701 is a heck of a tractor. My dealer has sold through all of his remaining 4701’s (6) and is awaiting delivery of the 4802’s. Looks like late July … maybe August. I guess we’ll find out.

Gents, Below is what I got back from my dealer regarding delivery of the L4802: “So far I do not have any updates on the L4802 I really wish they would let us know something due to the fact we are out of L4701’s” Not much to go on … but it’s what the salesman I’m working with knows.

Sparky, Brian Wood & Steve H … nothing back. Called my dealer day before yesterday. Emailed him a few days ago looking for a L4802. Nothing back yet. Will keep you all posted once I hear something back. Take care.
