Yanmar cbl40 and kubota L39. To be honest i had my mind set on the L39 until i went and looked at the cbl40. I looked over the cbl40 long and hard and oly found one problem and that is the low pto horsepower. Alot of things on the yanmar are optional that are standard on the kubota but my dealer for has included them on the maching i looked at so i am comparing apples to apples on pricing. The kubota comes in at 34,800 and the yanmar at 37,00. Does anyone have any opinions on either machine, and does either machine have a leg up on the other in any way. Your feed back is greatly appreciated and i thank you in advance for your help. |
They are both very good and closely matched machines, so your own personal preference may end up being the deciding factor. While the Yanmar may have a slight edge in weight and certain aspects of performance, the Kubota is extremely well made, will have a much better resale value... and dealer support is likely to be about 1,000 times better on average. If you do buy the Yanmar, make sure you do so from an established, high-quality, customer-oriented tractor/equipment dealer and
not one of the ma & pa rental shops, Agways or glorified lawnmower stores that happen to sell them.
