Kubota L35 vs Kubota L39

Verdict: Kubota L35 vs Kubota L39

The Kubota L35 and the Kubota L39 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L39 leads on rated power with 39 hp against 35 hp. Kubota L35 is the lighter machine (2,721 kg vs 3,169 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota L39 is the newer design (2005 vs 1999). In short: choose the Kubota L39 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota L35 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
