Kubota L5740 Cab Vs JD 4720 HST Cab
Hello,
I am considering these 2 tractors, I have a 2004 L4330 and have loved it. However I am looking at getting a cab due to the recent winter. I was pretty much sold on the kubota from past exp. but my buddy is a JD guy and has been trying to sway my opinion. So I figured for the amount of money involved I would ask for other opinions? So what a better place to do that then here. Thanks in advance.Kubota L5740HTSC FEL, Woods SS74 snow blower, Woods RM8400 Mower, Leinbach Post Hole digger & John Deere X540

Both tractors are very good machines. Best advice is to test drive both and go with the one you like. Cab ergonomics are a big factor for most folks.

Re: Kubota L5740 Cab Vs JD 4720 HST Cab
I agree with sunnyside360. I just went through this and while looking, tripped upon too good of a deal to pass up on a L5030. JD makes good tractors, but I HATE the left foot brake; some love them, so that may be a consideration for some. I didn't make it into the cab of a JD as we were looking on Sunday, so I can't say anything about the control layout. You really need to find what fits you best as both are good tractors though the JD seems to offer more power and hydraulics.
I am guessing you are also posting this on the John Deere Forum too. Good luck.Clothes make the man; naked people have little or no influence on society - - Mark Twain

Thanks, I have not posted in the jd forum but probably will. I just figured I ask here first. Some of the main differences I was hearing are pressurized cab on the JD, Accurately reported HP on the JD? Better prices and reliability on kubota. Anyway thanks for your input it is appreciated.
