Kubota BX24 vs Kubota L35

Verdict: Kubota BX24 vs Kubota L35

The Kubota BX24 and the Kubota L35 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L35 leads on rated power with 35 hp against 23 hp. Kubota BX24 is the lighter machine (1,542 kg vs 2,721 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota L35 holds more fuel (34.8 L vs 25.0 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota BX24 is the newer design (2006 vs 1999). In short: choose the Kubota L35 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota BX24 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
