Coming from putting hundreds of hours on a 3520 deere and now putting hundreds on a L3560 kubota I can honestly tell you I love the kubota it is way heavier tractor in all aspects then the deere the loader (805) is just so much tougher. I thought that I would hate the treadle peddle and never get used to it and now it is a non issue and do not even think about it (I move my foot from forward to reverse) auto throttle is awesome for loader work i would not be without it. Cab is sooo nice so quiet and comfortable. High low on th column I use that all the time in the winter blowing snow so I don't have to be switching ranges constantly. Throttle advance on the loader control is nice for loader work if you are piling snow or dirt sometimes when you don't want to move but have faster hydraulic response. I could go on all day why I love the kubota but on of the best things it has over some of these other brands (LS, kioti, mahindra) is RESALE value lol

There are very few sales people that I will say are fantastic but this guy is really good

That guy is a great salesman. He really knows his stuff.

You're a brave man to stand in front of that tractor with her driving.

I have 3 Kubota tractors. 2003 B7500, 2005 Grand L4330 and a 2012 B3200... I wouldn’t own any other brand, the quality on these tractors are superior to other brands in my opinion. We run Kubota at work too, RTVs, Zero Turns and Compacts... engines are bullet proof! All of the Kubota machines I have operated are very fuel efficient. It’s insane how many hours of service people get out of these machines. Take care, my vote is with Kubota... 100%.

Tim finding a great dealer is half the battle. I got a John Deere and a Kubota dealership within a 15 minute drive of my house. The JD dealership leaves a lot to be desired while the Kubota dealership has a great reputation. I chose a Kubota and I haven't been sorry, not that I have anything against a Deere because I do own a 52 model A. Kubota really does make a great product.

What an impressive dealership! Another knowledgeable dealer. Makes our local Deere dealerships look rather ill equipped in the compact tractor inventory. You bring up an interesting point...that it’s difficult to know just how big to go when growing from a 1025r. Thanks for bringing us along!

I don’t run tractors but we have equipment with Kubota engines, and in 15 years of use we haven’t had any problems with any kubota engines we’ve used. Have a 2013 bobcat s630 and it’s been great powerwise for us after a little post dealer tuning. It’s been a great little machine.

I got a kubota L2501. Perfect size for the three properties we have and I love it. Manual transmission. Very strong for a little guy.

I have a Kubota Grand L5030, and I'm very impressed with it. Great machine to run. I'm sure most tractors these days are going to be very nice, so just take your time. Thanks for sharing

Looks like a great dealership. The guy was really knowledgeable and seemed like a honest salesperson.

I highly recomend you guys Kubota, we have a M9540 Kubota tractor and we love it a lot, Here in Mexico in Chihuahua people grow tousands of acres of apples and almost every grower has kubotas. People like the big John Deeres a lot but for compact tractors the prefer for kubota because the last a lot longer and specialy the last clutch last a lot longer. Kubota are very durable tractors and one more thing why people choose kubota because the consume a lot less fuel.

Dude that tractor turns just fine. Don’t let a bigger tractor scare you. They get jobs done much easier! Keep the little tractor for the small jobs.

Trust in the salesman is very important. Tim, if you cut me I bleed green. Like I said I own a 1025R and I looked at the Kubota, Kioti, and Mahindra. I bought the John Deere. Was very happy with my purchase. It's all in what you need and can afford and what you're going to be doing with it. Good luck my friend.

I think just having the keys to thedealership is your best bet! My approach to buying equipment is to ask if you can demo it on one of your jobs to see if it is the one. If they truly want your business they will demo it for you and you know you have a good dealership as well as product. Good luck and thanks a lot for the entertainment much appreciated.

I bought a Kubota MX5800 in February and have nothing but good things to say about it. Great tractor!

Hi Tim and Family, Been watching and enjoying your channel for some time! Not one to normally express opinion but wanted to chime in on behalf of my experience owning, operating and self maintaining Kubota tractors. I’ve been a Kubota owner over 30 years. Started with a B7200 HST -then moved into a B3030HSDC. With routine maintenance performed, these tractors reliably delivered great service beyond my expectations. As you have found in your experience, the more you use your sub-compact tractor, the more you find uses for them. I’ve always seemed to find myself reach the limitations of the tractor with a project remaining in my minds eye where personally I couldn’t justify a tractor upgrade. Thanks to my wife’s subtle encouragements I.e.. “You wouldn’t be out there all day if you didn’t like it... Imagine what you can do... you live once and deserve a cab. 5 years ago I made a leap into a Grand 5740 HSTC that opened up a world of projects a subcompact just cannot accomplish. His name is “Buddy” Other than routine maintenance over 900 hours, Buddy performs flawlessly and I haven’t reached any project limitations. Buddy has huge filled turf tires, rear hydraulic remotes, Implements- FEL 3rd function with tooth-bar/poly edge for snow, grapple, 48” forks, box scraper, landscape rake, 9’ finish mower, hydraulic earth pan, post hole auger, 74” reverse gear drive tiller, 3pt weight box and a carry-all. Anything I’d do differently- no sir, I am a totally satisfied Kubota customer. My 2 cents: keep “Johnny” for work he can perform in those small areas at 75% of his max, then purchase a large frame compact tractor choosing more HP then you planned. If you can swing a CAB, the financial pain of I t will waste away under a smile with no regrets. Keep up the great videos and I’ll be looking forward to which new tractor comes your way. Warm regards, ...tugg

I have a BX-1870 and love it. Constantly outperforms my expectations.

I've had my Kubota B2650 for right at a year now, and I love it!

Thanks for the tour and test drive, Tim.

I love these little tractor trips very fun and informative of all the different makes models and models between models and options

Great series Tim. I am really enjoying seeing you guys testing out different tractor brands. Deere and Kubota are hard to beat. I own both. Thank you!

"it doesn't take much of a slope to give you some pucker factor" Amen to that.

Kubota is the best tractors. I drive them at work and am in love with them

If you're keeping Johnny, then I say go bigger now. You'll have options for big and small jobs!

Kubota for the win!! Much higher quality than Deere! They are like Toyota of Farm tractors. And they employ a lot of people in the US. Many of the smaller machines are made here

Really enjoying your tractor shopping trips!!!

I am so glad to have my John Deere, but if I couldn't have it - there is absolutely nothing wrong with a Kubota. They have always impressed me. I would buy the used one with the cab - but you should keep shopping, we all enjoy getting to go shopping with you two! ☺

Go Orange! I just got a B2650. I have 10 hours on it now and it does everything I need on my 11 acres. I was originally looking to get into a BX, but decided to step up. I’ve been so happy with the capability of the B2650. Got a Heavy Hitch tooth bar based on your recommendation and very happy with that too. Thanks for the TTWT discount. WoodMaxx Flail mower FM62 arrived last week and can’t wait to use it. Anyway, don’t discount the larger frame B-Series. They are very capable, yet retain a lot of the maneuverability and convenience of a sub-contact. Join the Orange side!

We have a L series that we use at the funeral home. The boss bought it to use at his home, but the work loader is resting in peace!!!! We use it to set markers. I love it!!! The man that digs our graves has the next size smaller one. He said it has more break out power.

Hi Tim, great video. We purchased a Grand L 4060 last summer (have owned three previous tractors) and could not be more pleased with it's abilities/features. Good luck with making a decision.

I don't need a new tractor.. but this Kubota guy makes me want to buy something from him. He seems so happy.

Excellent walk around and overview of the Kubota. Thanks Tim & Christy.

Dealer seems like a real good person to work with. That's very important to me. I drive green but would drive orange. Dealer made difference. I work Georgia and Alabama same dealer in both locations 250 miles apart.

Also Tim great video! Those tractors appear to have many more options than most of the others you have looked at

What a fantastic tractor. The pucker factor is not comfortable but is a good thing we have built into us.

LOVE that cab! :) Good luck with your decision Tim n Christy ...... You WILL need it ..... But those Kubotas WERE enticing ..... And the salesman good ..... "CAVEAT EMPTOR" ..... As always ..... ROFL! :)

I have owned two BXs they are phenomenal. I am a Kubota man through and through.

I would love that seat on my B2410! Back when I got my 2410 in 2001 IT was a Compact tractor, and the BX was a Subcompact. Now look what they call a Compact tractor!

Well Mr Tim, you just keep looking at all the different tractors, BUT when the right one comes along it will pick you!!!!

Get the 4760. You will want that cab and loader in the end. You may see it as a set back, but you are opening all kinds of new jobs that you could not do with Johnny. I have a Kubota myself (M7040). It is a great tractor and the dealers will help you so much. Good luck on the great tractor hunt

Tim, I just went through everything you guy's are doing. I looked at Deere, Kioti and Kubota, I ended up going with the Kioti for a couple reasons the most being the dealership service. A good dealer that takes care of you is worth their weight in gold. Good Luck in your seach.

Kubota tractors are of superior quality! Not that other brands don't build quality units as well. I just believe Kubota is leading the pack. Our bx has been a major upgrade to our hobby farm! Good luck and thanks for the video review.

Hi Tim & Kristie. I have watched all of your shopping videos for a second time, and this is the head and shoulders, all around winner. I love the machine, the features and capabilities look spot on, and most of all, this dealer is the guy I want to go see if and when there is a problem. He knows his product, has faith in it, and I think he is in it for the long game. If you allowed me to spend your money for you, I would spend it here. The used Grand L seems like a great buy.

Sizing is definitely is tricky. Also, not to get yourself into feature creep. I hope you have a Massey dealer in reasonable driving distance with inventory. You would want to look at the 1700 non-“e” versions based on what you have been saying. The premium compact tractors. I love watching the process. Keep up the good work!

good guy you could tell he loved his brand!!!

Just bought an Orange Tractor. I loved Kubota's features and price, with a solid reputation! Had it not been for Messick Farm Equipment channel I may have hesitated a bit on Kubota as it seems everything in MN is JD Green....Still getting used to my L3560. I used the auto throttle advance tonight and loved it! Go with Kubota! Most JD's aren't assembled in USA anyway so I had no issue buying from Kubota and supporting my local dealer!I wish Messick's was near me, would have went to them for sure!Thanks for all your time in making the videos.

Tim, Christi yet another fine video. Liking the Super Equipped CK 4010. But at the end of the day you all will make the right decision for your needs. p.s. Johnny is a tough act to follow!!

The sales guy actually got me thinking orange instead of green after this video. Nice Tractors.

Buy the second hand one with the cab, good value for money and comfortable!

GO FOR IT ! LOVE KUBOTAS !

I wish I was capable of giving an unbiased opinion, but I just love that John Deere green! Best of luck in your continued search - thanks for letting us tag along.

Love my 3046R with the cab, very happy with it.

I’m on my second kubota and love them.

Edwards Equipment is on Old 36 across from Hendricks Regional Hospital. I grew up in Putnam county and worked at the hospital in the 80s and haven't been over there in some time. Thanks for the great video Tim, I'm shopping for a tractor and looking at all brands even though my family farmed with the green ones for decades. God Bless.

Love these dealer visit videos. It wasn't that long ago when you guys celebrated 10k subs.

I bought a l4060 with cab. Love love love it!!!

come to think of this the other day, regardless what you are looking for think of the tasks you want the new tractor to do, might give some better perspective of what you want. I hope it helps in the future.. Love the videos

Wow a Salesman telling the truth. Should buy all kubota from him

I bought an L4060 Cab and have been very impressed and haven't regretted it. Brother-in-law said it wouldn't dig but when we had to adjust the size of basement dig, it didn't hesitate a bit. You cant go wrong. There's also more room in the cab version. Plus the air condition is eally nice in the hot southrrn summers.

I have really enjoyed all the different tractors you have reviewed .

Hey Tim I've been watching y'alls videos for a bit and had noticed how that y'all were very clean in speech and the way y'all handle your selfs. From the vet at the end it looks to be that y'all are christians ! It's good to see!! Keep it up!

Nice job Tim . . .

YES!!! an episode of TTWT!!!

Now your talking. Orange all the way! I like you guys more now. Lol

I'm lucky enough to have a great dealer that has both john deere and Kubota and is really great to work with

I'm a novice when it comes to tractors, but I do believe that if you went with the cab and a larger horsepower when you are in the field on a hot dusty day you will probably thank yourself.

That 4060 is a fine machine. Sales man seem to know a lot. Loved the three point.

I have the B series on 8 acres and wouldn't go to any larger tractor. The convenience of getting around tight areas is fantastic. And the Kubota is a great piece of machinery.

That cab model Kubota is sure loaded with features and quiet. I had a BX22 for 10 years and it never had anything go wrong with it in over 1200 hours of regular use. They do have a good reputation.

Now you are at the right dealer

Pucker factor... to funny! Thanks for the chuckle!

Wow, excellent sales rep. Wish they were all that great!

I have the L4060 and have 95 hours so far it’s great no problems very powerful

If I were you Tim, I would spend a little bit more money on a bigger JD. I really think you would be glad you did, when you think about it. I ran Cub Cadets for years before getting a John Deere tractor, a 1025r like yours, and although Cubs are a great tractor for the money, they don’t hold a candle to the JD. I say life is short, make the right decision, and enjoy it. I know you will when it comes time to make your purchase, weather it’s a JD or not.

Tim & Kristie love the video .

How great is it when a dealer says "My property goes all the way back to the tree, take the tractor and go have fun!" That was really cool, hats off to Doug! Buying a tractor today is very much like buying a digital camera was 15 years ago... Tons of choices but you have to make a few concessions with every choice. I must say most people I know prefer the dual pedals over a rocker style, pushing on the heel is not very intuitive.... Great Episode! Thanks!

I bought the Kubota b2301 and the LA434 loader not too big but a lot of power and a mid belly mower Rck60-32 which gives the tracker about 300lb of ballast . And a super tight turning radius. lover y'all videos

Our neighbor has a kubota L series for almost 12 year and he had zero problem whit it even if the tractor is always outside even during the winter.

Tim you will love this I got my Mahindra never drove it, did my research on the internet for about six months, I did visit JD and Kuboda shops but got the Mahindra. Oh yeah I did have to help a neighbor pull his Johnny out the mod, ha ha ha.

I will take one of each Tim ! LOL nice looking tractors and yes it shure needs weight in the back ! The dealer look great very friendly and a lot of stuff to look at ! Hard to pick ? What you like or need ! Have a great week and take care God bless ! Kioti Curt 👍🚜

Thx for the ❤️.

tim i worked at a rental buisness as the mechanic and we had full line of kubota they hold up. my next tractor will be kubota. i am not happy with my newholland. will trad it in soon. buy the kubota tim.

Love your videos. BMW does a similar thing re "trust" with their bikes, they let prospective buyers take the bike out for a day and see if they really like it or not. Trust is so key in sales and "hovering" is not always the most effective sales technique!

I really liked the 4060. The reason I like the L60 series is the stall guard and throttle advance for loader work. That seems really handy to me, especially considering that’s all I do with my tractor. The B2301 works just fine for me, though.

A feature I love on my 4052r is the control on the back of the tractor to back it up from the back while hooking up attachments and being able to lift the 3 point hitch from the back as well

We run a commercial snow removal company and use to run deere. But now we run almost all kubota. Our oldest is a 5 year old M9960. Zero issues and snow removal is hard on Equipment.

I have a Kioti DK35SE 38 hp and love it i like kioti no issues with mine so far 700 hrs

Finally went to The one the rest of the Small tractor world is after lol if it were on dealer alone i would work with those guys in a heartbeat he has inventory and great Product Knowledge which tells me they have great following and its a true family run business not a Corp own dealer that has 20 dealers in 2 states

Very nice video! Interesting!! Thanks

Get the cab! So far Kubota is the best you’ve tested so far

I had a Kubota L3540 cab. It was a great tractor but just a little to big for my needs. I listen to ppl say buy one size bigger. Well that didn’t work out for me. I didn’t get much use out of it due to its size. I sold it and went with a Kioti CK3510 and couldn’t be happier. Just the right size with plenty of power and lift capacity. I’ll be trading it soon for the same one with a cab.

I just bought a JD 4052 R with cab and I love it , I only look a cab models after using it in the winter with heat and summer with AC. I had a 3520 and needed a little more lift power so I upgraded to the 52 hp and so far loving it

Another great video. God bless

I have a 2012 Grand L4240 GST. I have the Ag tires with calcium in the rear tires. But I would get the 3rd function valve on the loader! You will thank yourself. I have 3 rear remotes and love them.

I recently bought the 2032R john deere because I work in the back yard as you do. It is too heavy to do a lot of the things you accomplish but so far I am getting along pretty good. I had a canopy on it but took it off because of the work around trees etc. I'm not sure what your need is now with your new property, but for what you do around your neighborhood, Johnny is just right. For me, to work around 3 creeks I have to cross, I needed bigger tires or Johnny would have made a better choice for me too.

Kubota all day long you will love it.

Deciding on a tractor is not an easy thing Tim! I am still trying to figure out which one to go with myself. My neighbor has been kind enough to let me borrow his tractor (An L4400) and I am amazed at the amount of work I have been able to get done with it. After seeing the work I was able to do with my neighbor’s tractor, my lovely bride has found several projects that she wants done (Such as putting in a garden and installing fencing for that, running electrical and water lines, etc…). I originally started out looking at a BX series for our place, but after talking with you and other folks more knowledge than myself, I am now leaning somewhere around an L3301 or an L3901. That used L4060 you looked at sure was sweet and that seemed to be a decent price for it. I really liked all the features, especially the enclosed cab. I also liked your dealer. He reminds me a lot of the local Kubota dealer here. He was also the owner of the shop and took the time to show me and my wife several different tractors. He then sat down with us and wrote up the projected total cost with the estimated monthly payments for each rig. I have since emailed him a couple of times asking to re-write the estimates with additional upgrades, such as a third function valve, backhoe and cruise control. Each time he got back to me promptly and answered all my questions. I am hoping to make the final decision on my tractor within the next couple of months. I can’t wait to see what you end up with!

What a Great deal on that used tractor.

have had 3 kubotas and love them currently have bx35 backhoe for it size is a great tractor have kubota zero turn also it been great too.
