One thing about the Grand L is Kubota has been building it for 13 years now. It still has incandescent lights and is in need of a refresh esp since it's Kubota's flagship model. Kubota has been refreshing the standard L, LX, and MX series but hasn't touched the Grand L yet, so if you buy a Grand...

You may also want to check out Kioti and Yanmar. Last quote I got from Kioti was $38k for a DK5320SE Cab with loader, third function, and one rear remote standard. Kioti is the American trade name for the Korean Daedong corporation. They offer pretty good bang for your buck. Yanmar is a century...

My dual voltage Miller [emoji638][emoji637][emoji637] has done everything I’ve ever asked of it. Took a welding class at the local community college, but the auto-set feature makes it so easy even a big dummy can make decent welds.

I recently priced a low hour used Kubota cab tractor vs the same model new. A three year old Kubota with three hundred hours was sixteen thousand dollars less. I’ll take that.

Plenty of folks buy too small then trade up. Or financial priorities change and they don’t want a payment anymore. I’m so cheap I’d gladly save thousands by buying a low hour used tractor.

Sounds like you need a ZT for around the house and an offset flail mower for the ditches and pond banks. A Ferris ZT with suspension is the way to go IMO. Lots of options for offset flails.

Same guy, two million mile Tundra’s.

Offset flail mower. Tilts up 90 deg and down 60 deg.

China, but trying to get to Japan or USA.

Pretty sure Kubota is all steel. Check it with a magnet. Can a Kubota owner chime in to verify?

Thought only John Deere had aluminum axle housings in their E series tractors? Any other manufacturers I’m not aware of?

What’s the price differential between the two?

You could split the difference with a L3560. A little more weight and lift capacity than the L4802, not as big as an MX or larger framed Grand L. The L3560 costs less than a L4802 too.

Consider if you’ll want/need rear remotes for top and tilt or an offset flail mower to mow your pond banks. The Grand L’s have better ergonomics for placement of the rear remote levers as well as more weight.

TTWT got a new Yanmar YT359C. Will be enjoyable to follow along and see how it works out.
