Final decision: Kubota L3901 or LS 4046?

All of these tractors with ag tires have adjustable widths. I have the optional 13.6x28 tires on MX. I set the width to 53" from center to center of the tires for summer veggie work. I have one wheel all the way in and the other out one position, so i could get a little narrower. What width are you trying to achieve?

My guess without looking at all of them side by side is that the L4701, mx4800, and the LS you're looking at will all be able to achieve very similar tread widths. Unfortunately, as you've discovered, online specs aren't very easy to compare in many cases. A visit to the dealership noting wheel configurations and using a tape measure is probably the best way to get it figured out.

The OP id correct according so my MX4800/5200 manual. Min center-center read tread is 50.2"

But....

Minimum OVERALL with (with min. tread) is 69.7"

Not sure how the L compares though.
