Kubota Grand L70 Series Puts Digital Control in a Compact Tractor Cab

Kubota has introduced the new Grand L70 Series machines with three model options: premium, deluxe, and cold weather. A redesigned ProCab allows for year-round comfort and a multi-function loader joystick and Intelligent Hydrostatic Transmission (iHST) allow for greater efficiency.

“The Grand L70 Series is more than just a new tractor — it’s an innovative leap forward in elevating the operator experience by seamlessly integrating technology,” said Matthew Walker, Kubota senior product operations manager, compact and utility tractors. “Kubota has a long history of listening to customer feedback and innovating machines that not only meet the demands of modern small ranch and farm owners and professionals alike but also provide an operator experience that goes far beyond expectations.”

Tractor Technology

Technology improvements include the new iHST and digital display and controls. Kubota’s three-range iHST allows the operator to tailor the tractor performance to match the job at hand, with adjustable pedal sensitivity and an auto-throttle advance function. The tractor features a hydro-dual speed that allows the operator to switch between high and low within each range (low, medium, and high) for a total of six speed ranges and pre-programmed — yet customizable — drive modes, including road, snow, loader, and cutter. 

Other advancements include a K-Command Display, a full-color screen with Bluetooth connectivity and hands-free calling, that allows access to the customizable tractor settings and performance data. A digital stall guard helps protect the engine and power take-off from stalling by sensing engine load and making real-time adjustments.

Power and Performance

The Grand L70 runs on a Kubota diesel engine and offers horsepower options ranging from 37–60 hp. The machine utilizes Kubota’s Common-Rail System (CRS) with electronically controlled fuel injection for smooth, efficient operation. Both models are available in 3- or 4-cylinder configurations; the deluxe model features a naturally aspirated engine, while the premium model includes a turbo-charged performance.

Operator Experience

The machine is available in three model options: deluxe, premium, and cold-weather. Both the deluxe and premium models are available with an open-air ROPS (roll over protective structure) or factory-installed Kubota ProCab for all-season operation. The new Kubota ProCab four-post design with rounded glass provides clear sightlines, while keeping the operator comfortable with climate-control and productive with remote start, heated glass, rear wiper, and rear and side defrosters. 

A multi-function loader joystick offers up to nine pre-programmed functions, including cruise control, drive mode selection, and iHST settings at the operator’s fingertips. An optional mechanical self-leveling loader assists in material handling and stacking. A backhoe (BH92A) and three loaders (LA806, LA1056, LM1056) are available to pair with the Grand L70, boasting a loader lift capacity of up to 3,029 pounds, over 9 feet of digging depth and rapid attach/detach systems. With the new K-Command Display screen — with jog dial navigation and the multi-functional loader joystick — operability is easy to understand, navigate, and tackle daily tasks.

The new Grand L70 will be available at Kubota dealerships in the first quarter of 2026. For more information or to find an authorized Kubota dealer, visit kubotausa.com.
