Grand L 4240
Model Year: 2008
I have 12 acres and was building a house on it. I have used it for house work, landscaping, driveway, gardening, hobby farming, general around the house maintenance; ie pasture clipping, creek maintenance, fence row clearing, tree pulling/pushing/twisting/breaking. I always regret buying an underpowered tool and my expectations are usually above normal. I always hate after getting something and finding a new use for it and it won't do it. I usually buy for any expected use. The tractor has yet to let me down, unless I am just asking WAY too much, even then at times it still does and amazes me at it's capabilities. I bought the 4240 cause I wanted that size of a tractor. Get to big and it's more difficult to get around in yards and close to houses. Get to small and the loader capabilities aren't quite sufficient and implements are on the smaller size which takes more time. I wanted the a 4cyl motor in that size tractor with the biggest loader. I was really after the LA854 loaders lift heights and capacity. Move up to the 4740 and the tractor is "bigger" a little taller and a little longer. Doesn't seem like much, but I felt was a fair trade. It handles a 1200lb 6ft box blade even stuffed full on clay on the back. (it'll lift it full of dirt when you get to aggressive and roll up too much sod with it and it stick!) Love the heavy box. I think it would peel up asphalt if I was to drag in the highway. I have the QA 854 FEL. Love the pallet forks as well. Great for demolition and tree clean up. Reach high with them and can push over good size trees. Really impressive. I use them as much as my bucket. Overall, good quality powerful machine. Easy to do maintenance on. Fit and finish and good. Only thing I would like to have that the tractor doesn't is more fixed speeds for the hydro. I know it is a step by having the hi/low on the column gear splitting (Grand L feature) I would like to have hi/med/low. With the power of the machine I am able to run and do work at lower rpms' vs pto speed rpms. This leaves me at times too slow for med/low (turtle) and too fast for med/high (rabbit). It's about a 1.5 mph gap between the too when to split those again would be perfect!
Pros: Power, Loader, Hydro adjustability and control, hydro pedal, kubota reputation and delivery of quality, bang for the buck
Cons: Some of the plastic trim items, would like those to be metal, loose there luster and strengh over time and suspect they'll be problems. Handles, trim plates, etc.

L4240 HSTC
Model Year: 2008
This is my second Kubota the first being an open station L3130. The L4240 HSTC has been out-standing. This tractor is used for snow removal with and eight ft. Curtis QA FEL mounted, it runs a brush-hog, two bottom plows, cultivator and roto-tiller. I till about 10 acres both for food plots and a garden. I have also added a tooth-bar and thumb to the bucket... very handy.
Pros: Nice cab,heater and air work great
Cons: A little tall for woods work

Nearly perfect!
Model Year: 2008
Shopped long and hard for my first tractor. Did not want to repeat Dad's tradition of being forced to buy a new tractor every 8 years because duty's became to large or the tractor wouldn't stop breaking. I was sold on the Kubota for price and features as compared to the competition. The hi/lo feature in each gear is golden!!! I stay in Med most of the time and can run across open ground in med the switch to low for work and back. Cab was well worth the money. I can spend all day on the tractor and not be near as worn out as an open station. L854 FEL with QA bucket has proven strong enough even for me. If the back end of the tractor comes off the ground I just don't have enough weight on the 3pt but she's lifted a few things I probably shouldn't have and she's still ticking!! The only quirks I have are these. For my use, and south Louisiana mud, I should have gotten the ag tires, the R4's don't pull will in wet dirt! The next are probably due more to the dealer. I had two hoses chaf holes in them. One was the 3rd mount front hydraulic they installed at time of purchase. Bad choice of routing. Then I'll find bolts missing, assuming vibration from working and a lack of torque perhaps. Most seem to be from dealer installation. I do with it had a better brush guard. I've broken both lights and torn the front grill using my grapple and having sticks poke through. I fix them all because replacement parts are $$$. I'm glad I stepped up to the 42 but there are times I wish for just a few more hp. Long, thick south LA grass and a 6' bush hog rotor mower makes for a slow cut. But it's trivial as I've only cut about 10 hours on the 280 total thus far.
Pros: L854 FEL, Hi/Lo feature, Power, speed of use
Cons: Cost of replacement parts, R4's, Dealer assembly

I tried them all. I'm sure they all make a good product, however when I got in the set of the L4240, it was a breeze to operate and I felt as if I already logged in 100 hours on it.I could not be happier with it.
Pros: Ease of operation.
Cons: I wish it could lift a ton of wood pellets.

Kubota 44 hp
Model Year: 2007
This the most amazing machine I have owned. The auto throttle enables it to operate very similar to a car. Allows me to complete a great amount of work in a short amount of time. The size and heavy construction is perfect for commercial work. I couldn't be more satisfied.
Pros: Size, auto throttle, and functionality.
Cons: Can't find any.

New Tractor
Model Year: 2008
Bought Kubota tractor from original owner with 150 hours. Tractor has a 4 in 1 bucket which is very nice to have. Bought tractor as a package with tractor, 5 foot bushhog, rotary tiller, 24"auger,box blade, and 12500 lbs trailer. I paid $25,000 for complete package. I got a excellent deal I feel and tractor performs perfectly. I have since bought a 9" auger bit. I use the tractor on my 2 acre tract I live on and 50 acres I own that I use for growing timber and hunting white tail.
Pros: Does all I need.
Cons: Lights are cheap plastic ripped one off on a vine. Also you have to remove front grill to get to battery.

1st Year of Commercial Work
Model Year: 2007
This my 3rd tractor & 2nd Kubota. I am very impressed with the manufactures quality and it's performance. This model has the hydrostatic transmission and the "auto throttle" feature. The amount of work accomplished per hour compared to the old standard tractor is unreal. I could not be more pleased with this tractor.
Pros: Efficiency, production, performance.
Cons: Access to clean rediator screen.
