New L 02 Series

I’m not familiar with the 50th anniversary edition. What’s it include?

Mike

They also spec the 50th anniversary L3902 mod with oversized r14 tires as well.

This is mine that I just paid for, just waiting for the dealership to load the rear tires and do their final checks.

I love everything about the new '02 series except the price!!!! Glad I bought back in 2005 when I could afford a tractor. It's over twice the cost.

Congrats! And you got a loader. Very hard to get these days.

yea price was a bit of a hard pill to swallow. This is my third standard L series, both the last two were L3901DT and L3901hst. I wanted to upgrade to the L3902 as soon as I saw all the improvements to the loader and operator station. Just happened to see this particular 50th anniversary model and wouldn’t have thought much about it but the over sized tires caught my attention. Long store short, I cleaned up my L3901 and got a decent trade value considering the hours on it and made the deal.

If Kubota makes a L2502 and it has the same features as the L3302/L3902, I’m right behind you!

I really wanted to hold out for an L4702 if that ever becomes a reality but this L3902 will be such a massive improvement over the L3901 I have Currently.

The L3902 is a massive improvement in features, comfort and cosmetics compared to the L3901 but, if you need “more” tractor, you’d have to go with the L4701/L4702 or Grand L.

Actually, Kubota is now installing fuel polishing units on all of their common rail emissions compliant engines because they are very sensitive to any dirt and especially water in the fuel. The standard Kubota spin on fuel filters have an 80 micron pass rate and the one on the engine where the strainer is, is even more so they are equipping all the emissions compliant units with them Don't know the make but I use a generic filter base on both my M9's with Racor 30 micrion pass rate filters and their water block technology which strips any water out of the fuel. I really don't need them as both mine a pre 4 tractors, just installed them for further piece of mind actually, plus you can easily see if there is any 'junk' in the fuel as the bottoms are clear.

Well, I dropped off the old 2017 L3901 and picked up the 2022 l3902hst 50th anniversary edition today.

Need to update your profile!!! Did you keep the grill guard?

It appears Kubota is going to offer a new 2023 L2502 which will offer many of the same features and amenities as the L3302 / L3902. Since I really like the upgrades on the L 02 tractors, I’m interested to see the pricing on the L2502.

I’ll likely head down to my dealer in the next couple weeks to let them know I’m interested in seeing one when they have one available.

Doubtful. Tractors have models not years. There won't be a 2023 L2502. If anything there would be a L2503 or something. The economy Ls just went from the 01 series to the 02 series a couple years ago. So it's unlikely they would jump another model so quickly.

Looks like it's the same updated look and updates that the other Lxx02's got.

Go to 8:42 in Messick's Equipment video for the new 2023 L2502 tractor info.

Not sure on the L2503. I will say I do find it odd they updated all emissions models to the 02 series though. I got the impression they were going to kill off the L2501 or at least get into a position to do so if emission requirements changed.

Anyways, I think the B50 series was killed because of the problematic B3350. Rather than owning up to the mistake, they discontinued the model, but kept the platform going under a different model name and a few cosmetic updates with a different engine on the 33 horse. Good dealers either bought the old B back or refused to sell new ones.

My 2016 HST L-series 2501 is perfect! I run a 5ft flail mowing 4-5 acres and sometimes 10, can't see trading it off just for a couple expensive upgrades. If anything, and because of having more ground to mow I would buy another second tractor, a used L3901 or, a 4701 and just for their increase in pto output and for a larger flail I have setting here that I picked up very cheap last fall at a farm sale and then rebuilt to like new condition. I simply love field mowing with my tractor finding it both comfortable and very easy on fuel.
