Read articles →An L3901 owner doing a hands-on side-by-side with an L3902 that showed up on his property, so the comparison is grounded in genuine familiarity with the older model. He walks through every physical difference he could find: the relocated split brakes, independent brake pedal functionality, standard rubber mats, right grab bar, live PTO, updated hood and grille styling, loader upgrade (525 to 526), and bucket scoop design. He notes the engine looks identical under the hood. No pricing details beyond 'not a huge difference.' Best for current L3901 owners or anyone deciding between the two models.
An owner-operator channel documenting life on a working homestead, so the perspective is that of an experienced Kubota user rather than a dealer or paid reviewer.
On the L3902 the split brakes moved to the left side, letting you use the HST pedal with your right foot while locking the left rear tire to spin the tractor quicker. On the L3901 the brakes don't offer this benefit.
Yes, the L3902 has a live PTO with an electric PTO switch, which is one of the biggest upgrades noted compared to the L3901.
No clear difference was found. The batteries, radiator coolant jug, air filter, and DPF filter are all in the same place, suggesting it is the same engine as the L3901.
The dealer said there is not a huge price difference since Kubota still makes both models, and the owner felt it would be worth paying a little more for the L3902's extra features.
