Watch Out! Kubota LX2620 is nothing like the LX3520 & LX4020
Overview
What sets this apart is its direct side-by-side argument that the LX2620 is fundamentally a different machine from the LX3520 and LX4020, not just a smaller sibling. 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.
