Comparison Kubota VS Yanmar

Fact Check

This would indicate the L4060 Kubota referenced in this thread is direct injection

I think your statment is no longer correct (or may never been correct, I don't know). The Kubota Teir 4s are a common rail direct injection engine. Just want accurate facts out there.

This is an incorrect statement.

I'll use a B2301/B2601 tractors as an example. The 2301 uses a model #D1005 engine (22hp) and the 2601 uses a model #D1105 (25.5hp) engine. Both of these engines are listed as 5 series engines on the Kubota Engine America website and both are shown as indirect injected (IDI) naturally aspirated engines.

The 3 series engines (37 to 65hp) are shown as direct injected (DI). 2 of the 4 models listed are naturally aspirated and 2 are turbocharged.

There are 8 different series of engines shown on the engine website. It was fun looking at all the different configurations.

It's not helping that you all are mangling the diesel tiers -- most compacts under 75HP have been Tier 4 Interim for many years.

Tier 3 only ever applied to 75HP and up.

Tier 4 Final is what has added complexity to tractors over 26HP, starting in 2014/2015.

I don't like to harp on this all the time, but when it gets mixed into conversation like this it really confuses things.

I was referencing the Kubota Series or Families of engines, not the emission tier series.

I think all the emission tier stuff comes down to is:

If you're not sold on the latest emission controls, like DEF fluids, particulate filters, regen, turbos*, etc. You can still buy Yanmar CUT like the LXs off the dealership lot that have excellent reliability and engineering reputations, and a 5 year-2000 hour warranty.

But act soon, these Interim TierIV/IIIA CUTs aren't going to be available forever. The Yanmar full Tier IV models are starting to arrive.

*the 49hp LX has a turbo. The 41hp and 45hp LX models are naturally aspirated.

No worries, I wasn't referring to your post at all -- didn't see any mention of the tiers.

Coming down to the wire. Everyone has had some good thoughts. The Yanmar is a tier 3 and he will not go down on the price. I understand the simplicity factor of the tier 3 but it is a 2014. The Kubota dealer is a known entity around these parts - actually lives up the street. Dealer has been around for decades, used to be a client years back. Said he'll take it in with him to work if that is ever needed. That is SERVICE!!!!! AS far as resale - I think the thread has concluded that the Kubota will probably provide the best return, within reason. I appreciate everyone's input and will let you know how it goes. If we don't get anymore snow in the next week or so I plan on getting in the woods and starting a project or two.

Thanks to all

Don't want to belabor the point, but it is a Tier 4 Interim engine. Make sure you know what you're buying. If the dealer is saying Tier 3, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Have you shopped around for pricing? I have dealt with Better power equipment in Waterbury, vt, not sure how far that is for you.....Dave is the owner and was very good to work with. And he will deal.....
