Useful for shoppers cross-shopping these two specific models.

The RK37 lifts 2,116 pounds at the pivot pin compared to 1,131 pounds on the L3901, almost a thousand pounds more, and the owner confirmed it lifts noticeably more while using pallet forks.
Mostly minor issues: a poorly designed seat safety switch that won't shut off if leaning slightly, a PTO safety switch that gets clogged with debris while brush hogging, and a quirky PTO cable.
The RK37, with a flat deck floor versus the Kubota's transmission hump, a suspension seat with armrest, tilt wheel, a horn, and a loader control positioned closer to the seat.
The RK37 has a 100.2 cubic inch Yanmar diesel at 37.4 horsepower and a nine gallon fuel tank, while the L3901 has a 111.4 cubic inch engine at 37.5 horsepower and an 11.1 gallon tank.
