Kubota L35 vs Kubota L45

Verdict: Kubota L35 vs Kubota L45

The Kubota L35 and the Kubota L45 are both backhoe loaders — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L45 leads on rated power with 45 hp against 35 hp. Kubota L35 is the lighter machine (2,721 kg vs 3,253 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota L45 is the newer design (2009 vs 1999). In short: choose the Kubota L45 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota L35 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
