JD3039R vs Kubota L3560. - cabs

[foggy1111]

In all sincerity comparing these tractors was somewhat difficult.....and yet they both offer so many good things it was hard to make a mistake. At the end of the day, I felt I was getting allot more standard features in the Bota vs the Deere products for my situations. Bota offers lots of standard cab features like lights and mirrors, wipers, heated glass, and swivel seat, more spacious cab, and auto throttle features that I became sold on those niceties. Also they have bigger tires and a wider footprint than the Deere product.....which I would have added spacers to feel comfortable with. They didn't seem to "overcharge" for the extra features like a radio or rear remotes.....like Deere can.

Still.....it was a good comaparison and I worked the brands against one another to a degree. The Deere product was hard to get right now and the Kubota dealer is new.....and was getting good shipments of product to make the new dealership "fly" - I suppose. Anyway.....he had just received the tractor I ended up to buy.....and had everything "in stock" as compared to a wait with the Deere.

I had just spent $2000 to rebuild my front Axel earlier this year.....and that (comparative) massive Kubota front Axel had some appeal too....... Anyway......At the end of the day......I just liked the more weight and more features I got for similar money. Time will tell....if I am a happy orange guy (?). It's all good. .

If my needs were more toward mowing lawns and such.....I would have steered my way into the Deere product as it's lighter weight.

When I was buying I really loved the look of Deere. The green with yellow just works for me. But after playing around with the HST+ I was sold on the Grand L. For loader work being able to drive up to a pile of dirt, flick a lever without even lifting off the peddle, and basically shift to a lower gear only to 'shift' back to travel to where you need it sold me. After all HST is designed to make life easier and HST+ takes it several steps further.

I have the 3046 with the deluxe cad and the A/C and the heat work great, the extra HP in the 46 over the 39 is good for running PTO attachments.

When I bought mine the difference between the JD and the Kubota price was very small.
And like you I already had the JD attachments, so that was the deciding factor.
