Apparently Kubota tractors are now more rare than diamonds, and my local dealer has 4 tractors on the lot (where they normally must have 100). I was able to test out an LX3310 and an LX2610 SU. I have seat time behind an L4060 as well. They both seemed ok, but I think I want a little more weight in the tractor for stability and lift capacity. I know on paper they are similar (and there is a Messicks video to confirm), but you can tell the LX is a lighter frame so wouldn't carry a load as well. Also, the axles look tiny on the LX tractors and I definitely want to add spacers. From what I can tell, the L2501 has a much more robust rear end. Any thoughts there? I do like the seat on the LX3310, and the engine is definitely more refined, but at the cost of complexity and actual $.
I haven't been able to find an L2501 to test drive, but I assume it will be like LX2610 SU with extra stability? There is a location 2 hours away that says they will get some in two weeks but I will have to put it on hold to ensure it doesn't sell. So basically I will need to buy sight unseen. So I am wondering if there are things I will hate about it compared to the LX? Loader valve on the loader itself doesn't concern me. I think I would like the nicer seat that is on the LX (not SU) but that looks like a project I could tackle down the road for $1k.
Thanks for the help!
