Overview
Two hobby homestead creators, one running a Kubota BX subcompact, the other a Kubota L3901 compact, debate who actually needs the bigger machine. The conversation covers Kubota and John Deere size tiers, how frame weight and gearing matter beyond raw horsepower, implement sizing (brush hogs, finish mowers), terrain differences, and a specific L2501 callout at roughly $20,000. Best for shoppers weighing subcompact versus compact on small acreage.
