John Deere 3035D vs. KUBOTA L3301 GST

Is the John Deere 3035D right for you?

The Customer who's cross-shopping the 3035D and the Kubota L3301 GST is usually someone running a small farm, a few acres of hay ground, or a property that needs a loader and a three-point hitch working together on a regular basis. They want a compact tractor that can genuinely pull its weight, not just look good on paper. That lift capacity number is where the 3035D separates itself in a real way: 2,081 pounds at 24 inches behind the link arms versus 1,435 pounds on the Kubota. That is nearly 650 pounds of additional lifting confidence, and you feel that difference the first time you're moving a loaded bucket or hanging a heavier rear implement.

The 3035D also delivers more PTO horsepower (30.4 versus 27.7) and stronger steering hydraulic flow (4.4 gpm versus 3.8 gpm), which translates to more responsive loader control under load. The Kubota does edge the 3035D slightly on implement hydraulic flow, and we won't pretend otherwise. But for most Customers running standard Category 1 implements, the 3035D's overall package, including the 8F/8R synchromesh shuttle shift versus the Kubota's 8F/4R, gives you more versatility in the field and at the headland.

Beyond the specs, buying a John Deere through Koenig means genuine parts on the shelf, trained technicians who know this machine, and stores across Indiana and Ohio when you need support fast. Come talk with your local Koenig team and we'll walk through exactly how the 3035D fits your operation.
