Strengths Does anything I want. It has the HST and is tire weighted and has wheel weights. I mostly use it for disking and land clearing. Hardly any problems in the 10 years and 1100 hours I have owned it. I clip and carry fairly good sized trees. The bucket will lift the back wheels off the ground even with 1400LB weighted.

Weaknesses Shifting in and out of 4 wheel drive requires stopping and relieving pressure if on a hill. For a while I had problems lifting heavy weights with the front end loader and then found that a valve had slightly opened on the hydraulics manifold. Closed the valve and fixed the problem and Kubota people in OKC, Oklahoma didn't even know what I was talking about.

Overall I use the L3710 almost every day to help me since I usually work alone. I think it is a very hard working assistant. I give it an overall outstanding. I bought it with a loader, back hoe, fence post hole drill, mid mount mower, back mower, Industrial tires, weighted plus wheel weights, Three extra hydraulics, and installed a grabber and fork lifts

Strengths Highly reliable. Always starts. Fuel efficient. All parts replaced so far have been due to accidental damage. Replacement parts are of high quality. Bought new, ten years later still on original battery

Weaknesses Should have bought factory cab. Seems underpowered, will not lift full bucket of wet hardpack. Using chipper at max will sometimes stall engine. Ride jarring and hard on back. Replacement parts are proprietary and overpriced.

Overall If done over would purchase higher horsepower model like L4610. Suggest actual horsepower of these models is -25% of claimed. Otherwise amazing quality and reliability.

Strengths 1)Use it to bush hog fields and i think it is the best tractor i have ever owned.2) It pulls a loaded hay wagon up a hill in second low with ease.3)has a very nice clutch in it(hydraulic).4)It kicks the John Deere by a mile and you can lift a lot more than you would think with the loader.

Weaknesses Could be faster in low range.

Overall The best mid sized tractor out there.

Strengths Seems to be durable, no engine or transmissions problems so far. 500 hrs Cab is nice ( I get hay fever in the fall), the AC and Heat work fine.

Weaknesses 1) Very bumpy ride unless you run it with the tires about flat, I have turf tires. 2) Although rated at 37 HP, it won’t pull as good as my 28 HP 870 Deere. 3) Has issues pulling loads up an incline, I mow with a 15’-0 batwing mower. I think the hydro transmission sucks up the power. (Has no problem on level ground) 4) If you get a belly mower you are forced to get turf tires, the rear wheels are smaller in height than what you would expect causing the tractor to ride low in the rear. At night the lights (which aren’t adjustable) shine up instead of down on the yard. 5) A word of advice. One single BB which was rumored to have glanced off a rock in the driveway can completely explode the glass door. It’s going to cost about $550.00 for the parts to fix it myself.

Overall You may be able to tell that I like John Deere better than Kubota. When I purchased the L3710 there was no Deere available with a cab. They now have a mid size with the cab option. If you can afford the price difference my advice would be to go with a John Deere. If you do decide on an L3710 you may need to add weight to save your spine from the shock that seems to be transferred directly from the rear axle. Of course if you do that you will have even more trouble getting up hills. It probably seems like I am complaining a lot, but when it comes right down to it I almost always use my Kubota to mow with instead of my 870 John Deere simply because the cab feature is so nice.
