Read articles →A dealership salesperson runs a side-by-side walkaround of a 4044M he has in stock against a neighbor's L4701, touching on weight, loader lift capacity, PTO horsepower, quick-attach systems, parking brake design, and hood access. He deliberately downplays spec obsession in favor of use-case fit, loader work vs. PTO-heavy tasks, and wraps with practical buying advice. Best for shoppers torn between these two models who want a frank trade-off summary rather than raw numbers.
A dealership channel where the presenter openly discloses he has the John Deere unit for sale, so the walkaround carries an inherent sales interest even when the commentary tries to be balanced.
The John Deere 4044M is rated to lift 2,300 pounds at the pivot pins to full height, while the Kubota L4701/L4802 is rated around 1,650 pounds.
The Kubota L4701/L4802 has a big advantage, making about 38-39 horsepower at the PTO versus about 32.5 for the John Deere 4044M.
The John Deere system has no moving parts and just needs pins seated on both sides, while the skid-steer style on the Kubota has springs that can stiffen or freeze and sometimes fails to seat properly.
No, the video recommends buying the machine that fits your main use case most of the time, and finding another solution like renting for rare heavy jobs.
