He explains why he chose Kubota over an RK37 (dealer trust, financing, rebates), covers real-world quirks (knee hitting the hazard switch, hip bumping the range selector, a loose radiator hose clamp causing a coolant leak), and talks pallet fork and grapple use around a home project. Best for buyers weighing dealer experience and early ownership snags over performance specs.
An individual owner sharing candid, informal first-impressions from his own property, not a dealer or professional reviewer.
He almost bought an RK37 for its bigger specs, but did not get a good vibe from RK dealers and valued Kubota's dealer support and parts availability more.
His knee hits the hazard switch when leaning back, his hip bumps the range selector knocking it out of gear, and a loose radiator hose clamp caused a coolant leak.
Hose clamps on each end of the radiator were not tight, a known issue per the Kubota L Series owners Facebook group, fixed by tightening with a flat screwdriver.
Zero percent financing, a rebate on the loader and tractor, factory third function, and pallet forks included under rebate, totaling just over 25 at a dealer 30 miles away.
