LS or Kubota

[Xc97700]

The MT3 35 and 40 are a little bit smaller and lighter than the MT 3 42, 47, 52 and 57.
Same cab and engine
Different Loader, Frame and Front tire size

The MT3 35 is $1,000 cheaper than the 40

Two years ago when shopping I checked all the different brands within about a 100 mile radius. Didn’t like Kubota price but the treadle pedal was probably the biggest thing that ruled them out for me, I am generally a Kubota fan but definitely don’t like that pedal. Wound up buying LS XR4155 and now have 195 trouble free hours on it, my LS came from the factory fully equipped with options other brands charge a lot of extra money for.

I agree, they come with everything

My gut tells me go with LS. The dealership seems to be hands down customer oriented. They answer the phone 7 days a week up to 10pm. I heard other good things about them on this site

Kubota offered no cash discount.

If you haven't, look at the Equine discount (20%). You can't do it with any of the financing incentives (0%), but likely gives a greater discount than what the dealer would offer on its own.

Hands down go with Kubota. You will be happy that you spent the few extra bucks for quality and dependability.

Yeah, because LS tractors are held together by bailing wire and chewing gum, and are guaranteed to break down whenever Mercury is in retrograde.
