Then Tim drops the sales pitch and adds his own analysis, LX lineage history, honest noise complaints about the outgoing model, and Kubota-vs-Deere comparisons. Best for LX owners already familiar with the series.

Yes, Kubota redesigned the HST transmission specifically to reduce noise at the operator's ear, both in the cab and in open air, and Tim confirms it is significantly quieter than the outgoing LX3310.
The redesigned transmission increased operating speed to a maximum of 17 miles per hour, up from the LX10 series which did not have very good travel speed.
The LA526 loader is used, standard with a quick coupler, while an LA526 FL version comes with a pin-on bucket instead; both use quick disconnect for easy removal.
Yes, it increased from about 1,670 pounds to almost 2,000 pounds, which Tim attributes to the higher 40 horsepower rating on the top model.
