The LX3520 and LX4020 both got wider front axles. Did the LX2620 also get the wider front axle?
The LX3520/4020 also got a loader with wider arms. Looks like the 2620 didn't.

The video I saw said the same axle as the LX2610. Along with the same loader capacity as the 2610 and the same transmission with a couple mods. The new transmission and axle are only in the 3520 and 4020. I was very disappointed after seeing that because I was thinking about the LX 2620 cab but probably will go with the Kioti. 2620 cab now.

Just seems odd to me that they didn't give the 2620 the same front axle, transmission and loader as the 3520/4020. The LX2620 is basically just an LX2610 with a different sticker on it.

This is the video. Same tractor with leds, new seat, and something done to make the transmission whine subdued some. It's all about pricing. For $6k more you can get the heavier duty upgraded 35 hp. I bet it may just have been a quick way to get the LX2620 to market and in a year or 2 it will also be upgraded.

They probably figure they need a cheap machine for those who are very price conscious (i.e. LX2620), and for those who want lots of features, they probably want the extra HP too.

Of course, those on OTT want all the features but deperately want to avoid DPF. That's a market that Kubota is entirely ignoring. I think it consists of a total of 40 people......
