The L3970 is part of Kubota’s compact tractor Grand L70 lineup.
The tractor Shelton drove in Las Vegas has 39 horsepower and 30.9 power take-off horsepower. The L3970 is also available with a cab.
It has a 540 rpm rear PTO and a 2,300 rpm mid PTO to support multiple attachments and implements like mowers, snowblowers, and loaders like the LA1056.
The machine also has Kubota’s intelligent hydrostatic transmission (iHST).
This includes allowing operators to adjust pedal sensitivity, and Stall Guard.
Stall Guard senses engine strain and automatically adjusts the transmission to prevent engine stall while working with heavy loads or thick brush.
Kubota tractors have a special place in Shelton’s life.
His father, Dick, sold Kubota tractors until his passing.
A past post on Shelton’s Instagram account shows a photo of a Kubota M7-172 he purchased from his dad.
Shelton has had a partnership and endorsement deal with Kubota since his “Back to the Honky Tonk” tour in 2023.
