Neil walks through specific differences: wider front axle and loader, the newer vs. older transmission (540E, auto throttle, hydraulic flow, noise levels), cab controls, and a roughly $7,000 price gap explained with real context including the diesel particulate filter threshold. Useful for anyone deciding between LX models.
Messick's Farm Equipment is a dealership channel, so expect a sales-leaning perspective, though the presenter openly shares personal ownership experience and acknowledges trade-offs across the lineup.
The LX3520 and LX4020 have wider front tires and loaders for stability, a reworked transmission with 540E, auto throttle, and more hydraulic flow, features the LX2620 does not have.
Kubota upgraded the headlights to LED and made a small transmission change for less noise and whine. Otherwise the 2610 and 2620 are nearly identical, with the same operator platform and implements.
Part of the jump is because going over 26 horsepower requires a diesel particulate filter, adding about $2,500 to $3,000. The rest comes from the wider axle, loader, and new transmission features.
