Four cylinders instead of three, and the top of the Deluxe half of the Grand L70 range. The V2403-CR-E5 is the same 148.5 cu in block the turbocharged models use, left naturally aspirated here and rated at 42 hp.

Kubota
Cheapest way into Grand L70 Premium trim, and the point where the range turns to turbocharging. At 39 hp it makes less peak power than the $1,791 dearer L4270 but carries the jog dial, loader joystick and full 9.83 gpm pump.
Spec sheet & owner notesKubota
Turbocharged four-cylinder Premium model that sits at the top of the small-loader half of the Grand L70 range - above it, the L5070 changes loaders. 36.2 PTO hp from 44 engine hp is the best conversion rate in the series.
Spec sheet & owner notesKubota
The most powerful machine Kubota builds on the LX chassis: 39.8 gross hp from the same turbo V1505 the LX3520 uses, 32.6 hp at the PTO, and 433 lb more tractor under it. Hydrostatic only, ROPS or factory cab.
