The only thing they really have in common is the price.
I have a Kubota L2501hst 4x4 and it's just a bit too small for my 40 acres and what I need it to do.
I really like kubota but for the same price as the L3560 hstC I could get the XR4100 series from about$3000 less for 40 hp to the just under (well about $1000) the kubota price for 55HP LS.
Ls has air ride seat, 3 hydro hook ups, free upgrade to R1 tires. It's heavier, can lift more, and so on. to go up to the frame size in the kubota that was closer to the LS was another $7grand. I thought green paint was expensive
The LS deal is 5 minutes from me, Kubota is around 30.
The kubota has better brand recognition and the customer service is much better than the smaller LS dealer. I just can't get over that price difference. Even the farmall dealer (is LS) is 10 minutes away but he charges more for the red paint.
Everything is pointing at getting rid of my small kubota and getting an LS. My budget is no more than $30,000 (it's really $25,000 but I'm pushing it a bit to $28,000 for the LS 40HP)
I feel that the L3560 is not much of an upgrade from the L2501 besides the cab. The XR4100 series is a huge upgrade in size and pretty much everything else. Am I blinded by blue?
