Kubota
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.
Spec sheet & owner notesKubota
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
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.
