Nov 07, 2024

Associated Equipment Distributors (AED) President & CEO Brian P. McGuire issued the following statement on the 2024 Presidential Election results.

"Congratulations to President-Elect Donald J. Trump on a successful, hard-fought campaign. AED looks forward to collaborating with the Trump administration and the next Congress to advance our pro-growth, job-creating policy agenda."

"Our country stands at a crossroads where bipartisan cooperation is not just necessary—it is essential. We must rise above gridlock and inaction. Together, Republicans and Democrats have the responsibility to maintain a tax code that fosters growth, to invest in our infrastructure and rural communities, and maintaining and nurturing the next generation of skilled workers who will shape our future. The prosperity of the United States depends on these commitments, and AED members are ready to play a key role in building, feeding, and fueling the country. Now is the time for our elected leaders to set aside partisan divides, prioritize these critical issues, and work hand in hand for the success and future of our nation."

Video: Kubota Narrow Tractors Compared | B2401, L3520 & L4802 Side by Side

Kubota is one of the only manufacturers in the U.S. market offering a purpose-built lineup of narrow specialty tractors, and all three models are worth understanding before choosing one for a tight-row application. The B2401 comes in just over 35 inches wide at 24 horsepower, making it the entry point for nurseries, greenhouses, and Christmas tree farms where row width is the primary buying criteria. The L3520 steps up to 35 horsepower and 39 inches wide, bringing a fully synchronized transmission exclusive to this model, a more refined operator platform, and significantly more three-point hitch capacity at roughly double the price. The L4802 tops the lineup at 48 horsepower and 53 inches wide but uses a non-synchronized transmission and comes in $300 less than the L3520, making the mid-range machine the most compelling option for many buyers who can work within its capacity limits.
