No loader work, digging, or driving footage. Best for shoppers trying to decide which L-series tier fits their budget and features before visiting a dealer.
Posted by Messick's Farm Equipment, a Kubota dealership channel, so expect an informative but sales-oriented walkthrough encouraging a dealer visit.
The standard series (L2501/L3301/L3901/L4701) is economy-focused with simpler transmissions and hitches, while the Grand series offers HST Plus transmission, factory cabs, and deluxe three-point hitch features.
No. Front mid-PTOs are available only on the Grand L60 series, enabling front snowblowers and brooms. That option has been removed from the standard series to lower price.
The L4701 is part of the standard, economy L-series but sits on a larger chassis than the L2501/L3301/L3901, using mechanical bits from the older L30 series.
Not necessarily more capable; both can get comparable work done. The differences mainly come down to comfort features, ergonomics, and economics rather than capability.
