Kubota has added two new higher-horsepower models to the LX20 series, and two updated models to the entry-level L02 series.
“Kubota’s compact tractor line is built with outstanding quality, performance, comfort and durability in mind, and these latest model additions are no exception,” says Beau Woodbury, product manager for Kubota. “Their versatility makes them invaluable property maintenance tools for easy material handling and transport, due to implements that can be added.”
Kubota LX20 Series
The new models in Kubota’s LX20 series, the LX3520 and LX4020, come with a range of power and comfort updates. The LX3520 has 35 maximum horsepower, replacing the 33 hp. LX3310 in Kubota’s lineup. The LX4020 increases the horsepower range in the series to a max of 40 hp. A wider front axle increases maneuverability from previous models.
This line of tractors is built primarily for larger property owners, anywhere from a small acreage to 25 acres, according to Woodbury.
“The footprint of the tractor allows you to get places larger tractors wouldn’t,” says Woodbury. “If you were taking bales of hay to go feed the horses, you can actually drive these into the barn and move the hay as opposed to lugging it by hand.”

A dual engine memory switch allows the operator to preset their preferred RPMs and have the engine match that speed with the push of a button.
Both models are available with a factory-installed cab or standard ROPS configuration. The cab is designed for comfort and a quiet ride. These models feature a new transmission designed to reduce HST noise for the operator — further reduced by the cab option. The seat has been updated, and the levers have new ergonomic grips for added comfort. The independent PTO has been changed from a lever to a switch for easier operation.
LED headlights that put out over 1,000 lumens have been added to the tractors, with an optional insert available on the brush guard for protection.
A new L545 front loader is available to the LX20 models. Carrying capacity remains the same as previous iterations, but with a wider boom to allow the operator easier access to maintenance functions on the tractor. A mechanical self-leveling kit is available for upgrade.
Thanks to the increased power, the LX series is compatible with new 60, and 72-inch mower decks. Both have integrated wash port attachments for cleaning under the deck.
Kubota Standard L Series
The L2502 and L4802 models have been added to Kubota’s legacy Standard L Series, rounding out the line with similar updates to the L3302 and L3902 announced last year. These models are replacing the L2501 and L2701 in the L Series lineup.
The L2502 and L4802 have a gross engine horsepower of 24.8 hp. and 48.4 hp., respectively. These models no longer have the PTO clutch pedal, instead operating on an independent PTO switch.
Like the models announced last year, these tractors have an array of updates designed to enhance operation performance and comfort. Losing the PTO clutch has freed up space to move the brakes to the left side of the tractor platform. The seat has upgraded suspension for more comfort while riding.
Similar to the LX series updates, new LED lighting has been added, with the optional brush guard insert also available.
These models are also compatible with the LA526 loader announced last year, with a maximum lift capacity of 1,144 pounds, and a deeper, curved bucket.
Exclusive Titan tires
Kubota has partnered with Titan in an exclusive agreement on select sizes of Titan’s new Trac Loader II tires for the LX20 and L02 series of tractors. These tires have a unique
Kubota logo design on the tread, and are designed for use on snow, ice, turf or mud applications. The Trac Loader II tires will make their way to the rest of Kubota’s lineup throughout the year, says Woodbury.
Price and availability
The Kubota L2502 starts at $15,646 and the L4802 starts at $21,713. Pricing information is not yet available on the LX models.
These tractor models are in production now and will be ready for purchase in spring. For more information, visit www.kubotausa.com.
