Kubota L3450 vs Kubota L3901

Verdict: Kubota L3450 vs Kubota L3901

The Kubota L3450 and the Kubota L3901 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L3901 leads on rated power with 38 hp against 37 hp. Kubota L3901 is the lighter machine (2,590 kg vs 2,610 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
