Kubota L4701 4.50 star(s) (2)

New L4701
Model Year: 2019

This is my third Kubota, I upgraded from the 32 HP L3000. I have had no issues with the tractor other than a few things that were not set up correctly at delivery. Both radiator hose clamps were barely finger tight, which I realized on the first use and lost some antifreeze on the shed floor. The hydraulic valve for the three-point hitch was stuck, so I couldn't use the hitch. One bundle of cables/wires was situated so that I could not open the oil-filler cap until I re-routed the wires. These are not problems with the tractor itself, just sloppy assembly at the plant, I guess. But the engine starts well, even in cold temps, such as 10 Fahrenheit, and the quality of the machine is topnotch.

Pros: Kubota quality, good power, good fuel economy
Cons: None I've seen so far, which is its first 50 hours of operation

Good Tractor
Model Year: 2017

I bought mine used with only 193 hours on it. I use it to keep up with 17 acres of mostly woods, 1,200 feet of gravel road, and 3/4 mile of trails. It has plenty of power and is a lot more comfortable than my 1985 L2550DT. It is a S size tractor I was able to really use with pallet forks. I also purchased a grapple. The loader has pretty good lifting capability with a ballast box. Re-gen is a minor inconvenience, at most.

Pros: Powerful and lots of room
Cons: None I could think of
