Kubota BX25D-1 vs Kubota L35

Verdict: Kubota BX25D-1 vs Kubota L35

The Kubota BX25D-1 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 BX25D-1 is the lighter machine (1,587 kg vs 2,721 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
