The host runs through the four model configurations, October 2021 pricing, and a point-by-point spec comparison against the Kubota L3901, including loader lift capacity. No seat time here, but useful for shoppers weighing the RK37 against a comparable Kubota.
Purple Collar Life appears to be a consumer-perspective channel whose tractor content was facilitated by an invitation from Rural King, suggesting a cooperative relationship with the dealership that may lean favorable toward RK products.
The L3901 front end loader capacity is 1,131 pounds at the pin, and the RK37 is 2,116 pounds at the pin, almost a thousand pound difference.
The L3901 has a 111.4 cubic inch diesel with 37.4 horsepower. The RK37 has a 100.2 cubic inch three-cylinder Yanmar diesel with 37.4 horsepower.
Four configurations: RK37S open station shuttle shift, RK37H open station hydrostatic, RK37SC shuttle shift cab, and RK37HC hydrostatic cab.
The RK37 has loader control beside the seat, while the L3901 has it up on the loader, which he finds uncomfortable and blocking the right-hand entry and exit.
