Update video coming soon! Kept the Kubota. Sold the old Cub. Traded the Bobcat and some cash for a Kubota L3560. Oh and my SVL 97-2 I had ordered, came in!
This is the third video I’ve seen claiming the seat is not a suspension on the kubota. It most defiantly is. Look behind the seat is a metal knob like a T handle. That is the adjustment for the suspension. I had kioti version of the bobcat you show but it was stolen a year ago and I replaced it with the l2501. The difference in loader valve and transmission is night and day. I used to love my kioti till i ran my new l2501.
I did notice it was adjustable after looking at my own video. Just have not had a chance to update it. Thanks for pointing that out. But I do love the Kubota!
Congrats on your purchase, but just forewarning - keep an eye on your coolant hose clamps - seen many a kubota engine failed because of leaks and kubota will not warranty. Also bolts come loose, so just check them every so often. We and our neighbor and some friends that all have kubotas have had quite a few issues with them, but we all have the mower versions which seem to be quite a bit cheaper made. I wish I had a cab version like you got. Very nice.
I really want to buy me a tractor but most over my budget. The l2501 is a nice tractor as my buddy let's me use it on my 8 acres. I was looking at a kioti 2 years ago which is my nearest tractor dealer at 2 hours. Cool video.
My husband is looking at buying a 2023 Bobcat tractor same model as yours with mower att and loader. I'm the researcher in the house. Lol and I'm wondering how well it will hold up in years to come since Bobcat says it started making tractors in the 90s. The strange thing is, I dont seem to find any used ones for sale today. I find lots of the other brands from the 90s though so I'm doing my research. I am wondering if your are still liking your Bobcat tractor? These are selling for great price with the implements included in the deal. 👍
I sold it and bought another Kubota. In my opinion, bobcat used to be a good brand, but they recently sold out to the Daedong Corporation. The Daedong engine on the bobcat was real noisy and had a lot of rattling noise that I just was not used to with the Kubota engine. The placement of the loader handle is what really made me get rid of it. The loader handle came up from the floor on the bobcat which caused me to hit it with my leg. The Kubota loader handle comes from beside the dash and is completely out of the way. The bobcat tractor reminds me of Chinese junk compared to the Kubota.
Oh Thank you for letting me know. I'm not buying anything Chinese. I like Kubota myself. Now to find a dealer close to me. I've been leaning Kubota the whole time. Thanks again
To clarify, they are Korean. How it works is that Bobcat has their blueprints and specs they are submit them to Deadong for manufacturing. Bobcat claims they are assembled in the US of A. @@DonnaRatliff1

I’ve owned two Kubotas in the last 8 years! A 2501 and now a 3902!
No complaints here other than small things! It they all have their minor issues
I have 2 Kubotas and have nothing but praise for them. And my local dealer provides great support which is a important consideration.
My dealer has very good support at $185/hour for oil change talent.
I agree Kubota for the win.
I just buy the oil and filter from Kubota and do the labor myself.

@@FlippinCars thanks for the video, cool seeing three similar beasts next to each other 👍🏻
Kubota guy here👍👍i like all tractors but the L2501 absolutely yes. Only gripe i have is the hump in the middle of tractor . I’m a big guy here too
2501 hump is more so in my manual shift. But I like the torque.
I have heard those Mitsubishi engines are outstanding. Someone got a great used tractor.
Yessir they are. We had it forever.

I really want to buy me a tractor too. The reason I haven’t is because I know my neighbors will want to borrow it all the time.
I’m leaning towards the bobcat for my first 25HP purchase. How has your experience been dealing with Bobcat and Kubota Parts/service centers?
Sold the Bobcat. Engine was super noisy and cheaply made compared to the Kubota. Have Kubota dealer 10 minutes and they are awesome.
It’s good to hear Kubota is the winner

Beware Bobcat and Kioti are the same tractor as well. They are subpar!

I have a Bobcat tractor. They are not chinese. They are made by Kioti for Bobcat. I have had zero issues with mine.
To clarify, they are Korean. How it works is that Bobcat has their blueprints and specs they are submit them to Deadong for manufacturing. Bobcat claims they are assembled in the US of A. @@DonnaRatliff1
Man I came here thinking I was gonna get a bobcat but I think kubota stole my vote
The bobcat was complete junk compared to the Kubota. The Kubota is still running strong!
Is the cubcet tractor still for sale?
Already sold.
Are the prices similar?
So Bobcat in Rock Hill SC wants right at $25k for their machine. I purchased mine used at $18k with 6 implements.
I bought the Kubota new in 2020 for $19k.
They have Bobcat nw indiana 18500. 2022 new model
You sell that cub cadet yet?
Yep. Sold.
Replaced with Kubota L3560
What did that Bob cat cost
I just looked at that very size at the dealership lakeside motor sports $20 thousand before tax.
