Kubota L4630 Reviews
Kubota
Model Year: 2005
Tractor has been a pleasure to operate. Anyone in the market for a tractor purchase a model with 4 wheel drive only. This tractor is used to mow 5 acres at least once a week in the summer months. It handles extremely well. It is also used to pull a 6' disc harrow, 2 bottom turn plow and 2 row planter. The grand-kids love riding on it with me.
Pros: Visabilty, 3 point hitch hookup, low fuel consumption; Front end loader is easy to remove and reinstall.
Cons: Front end loader blocks the head when in use.

4630 GSTC
Model Year: 2006
I bought my tractor primarily for clearing my drifting 900 ft. driveway in the cold Maine winters. I put a Puma 84" rear mount blower on back to give me the option of leaving the front bucket on for snow removal. This tractor has worked flawlessly and the GST with creeper low, allows me to churn through packed drifts taller than the blower without losing rpms. My secondary use is for bush hogging 15-20 acres of field annually. I have a Brown 472 rotary cutter that is tough as nails and is a perfect fit for this tractor. I also keep woods trails clear with this unit and have no problem mulching trees up to 2.5 inches on the edge of the trails. The cab makes it extremely comfortable for putting in a full day at the wheel. I have a Farmi JL501 to yard wood to the edges of the field to supplement my wood supply. I have done only scheduled maintenance on this machine and have not had so much as a leaky hose on the unit. I am more than satisfied with this machine and would highly recommend it to any one looking for a super reliable cab tractor that is used more for pto implements than bucket work. The GST gives you a lot of power when you need to get the RPMs to the implement (aka. large snowblower). Many thanks to those on this site who provided info to guide me in finding the right tractor and implements for my needs.
Pros: GST with Creeper low gear.
Cons: Slower for bucket work than a HST.

Kabota L4330
Model Year: 2005
This machine has had very few issues. Beware of BH90 backhoe from Kubota. The main hydraulic piston on the original was 35mm and did not perform to expectations. After replacing 3 of them "bent like a fish hook", Kubota replaced it with a 40mm piston and I have had no problems since. Kubota knows about the problem and will work with you.
Pros: Paid for its self in three years and less than 1000 hours.
Cons: BH90 Backhoe

Kubota L4630 HST
Model Year: 2005
Excellent tractor since new. HST is great for our applications. Much better than the 3650 it replaced. Mine has quick attach bucket and aux hydraulics with the power tip and tilt on the 3 pt. hitch.
Pros: Lots of power, very maneuverable, excellent with aux. hydraulics
Cons: Road speed is only 16 mph
