Read articles →This isn't an LX2610 walkaround but a myth-busting rundown of sub-25hp diesel emissions rules, using the LX2610 (which does have a DPF, unlike the similarly-sized B2601) as proof that horsepower ratings don't predict regen/DEF hassles. It covers regeneration mechanics, filter/ash replacement costs, DEF thresholds, tampering penalties, and then recommends alternatives (B2601, L2501, Workmaster 25S, Mahindra eMax, pre-2013 iron). Best for shoppers comparing compact diesels across brands, not LX2610 specifics or hands-on testing.
A commentary/analysis channel citing manufacturer reps and regulatory figures rather than an owner or dealer demoing the machine firsthand.
Yes. The LX2610 makes 24.8 horsepower but still has a particulate filter, and Kubota's manual covers auto and parked regeneration for it.
The B2601 is rated higher at 25.5 gross horsepower but uses a D1105 engine with no filter, no urea, and no EGR. The platform Kubota chose decided it, not the horsepower number.
A new filter lists just under $3,000 for the part alone. A reman unit runs around 800 plus a 600 to 700 core charge, and cleaning runs 450 to 550.
Usually not. Selective catalytic reduction, which needs DEF, shows up above roughly 75 horsepower and almost never below it, according to a Perkins engines product manager.
