Well I just got a new L2501 with front loader and backhoe. The engine seems really loud! The exhaust has a metallic rattle sound to it. My L3830 is much quieter sounding.
Using a dosimeter app on my phone I measured around 92 db at 1700 RPM. My L3830 is running around 90 db. The L2501 has a harsh exhaust note like a hammer hitting an anvil.
I'm curious if anyone else thinks their L2501, L3301, or L3901 is loud. I'm planning to drive another L2501 at dealer when I head down
there.
One thing to note. The tractor has off-road diesel in it. Not sure if that would make it run louder or not.
I've attached a pic of my two Kubota since we all like pics!
