Kubota Canada Ltd. unveiled its new LX Series, the latest addition to the company’s compact tractor line.

The LX Series offers three models including the affordable entry-level LX2610SU Open Station model and the well-equipped LX2610 and LX3310, both of which come with Open Station and Cab model options.

Designed with both residential and commercial operators in mind, the LX Series has the versatility to tackle rural residential tasks while providing the power and comfort to handle
commercial applications. The new LX Series compact tractors will be available nationwide at
authorized Kubota dealers in May 2020.

Yannick Montagano, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kubota Canada Ltd., said:

“We are very excited to launch the new LX Series in Canada. This new series is the perfect fit in the compact utility tractor segment between our current B and L Series. We are confident the all-new LX Series will meet the demands of residential property owners as well as commercial operators, in a wide range of applications from snow removal to landscaping.”

A New Level of Power and Versatility on a Compact Chassis

Kubota’s LX Series compact tractors are powered by world-renowned Kubota diesel engines
ranging from 24.9 to 30.8 gross engine horsepower. The LX3310 model features a Kubota
Common Rail System diesel engine that is engineered for the harsh Canadian climate
conditions while providing better fuel economy, lower emissions as well as a high level of power, torque, and performance.

The LX Series provides great maneuverability in a compact size allowing you to operate the 60- inch or 72-inch mid-mount mower, yet it boasts the power and weight required to operate a front loader with a lift capacity of over 1,000 lbs.

The 3-Point Hitch offers superior lift capacity for a wide variety of performance-matched rear implements. The LX Series also features Goodyear R14 crossover tires for a variety of snow, ice, turf, or mud applications.

Complete Comfort with Open Station and Cab Model Features

Operator comfort and functionality are top priorities for the LX Series, which is available in both deluxe Open Station and Cab models. The Cab model is equipped with a 4-pillar integrated cabin and includes premium standard features like a heater and air conditioner, front and rear LED work lights, cabin interior light, front and rear wipers with washer, rear defogger, and speakers. Both Open Station and Cab models feature cruise control, tilt steering, and a new deluxe suspension seat with armrests that keep operators comfortable and productive.

LX2610SU: LX Power at an Entry-Level Price Point

The new LX Series features an entry-level LX2610SU. The LX2610SU provides both value and quality with deluxe features to maximize performance including a Kubota-built front loader and backhoe, multiple tire options, and a Category I 3-Point Hitch to connect performance-matched implements to handle a wide variety of applications.

Topsy Farms

Since 1972, Topsy Farms has been operating and raising sheep on Amherst Island. The farm mainly produces 100% Canadian Wool products, natural products and offers leisure activities for visitors to enjoy. This is Kubota Canada’s first collaboration with Topsy Farms.
Behind the Grow Stronger Movement – Victory Gardens To boost morale and assist with the food supply during World War I and World War II, Victory Gardens were grown at private residences and at public parks by people of all ages. This allowed everyone to be farmers and contribute in a positive way. The Victory Gardens contained various vegetables, crops, fruit, and herbs that were tended to by communities for the greater good and to help provide a sense of purpose.

For Kubota, all Canadians can be farmers. Kubota plans to continue supporting communities across Canada during the COVID-19 pandemic through a positive and educational social awareness campaign. Promoting the key benefits of victory gardening from a social distance and helping Canadians grow stronger.

“Kubota’s commitment to our Canadian community drives us to do more for them and to make a positive impact. That is why we are excited about the #GrowStronger project because it supports our communities — all while empowering people to do more. This is Canada’s opportunity to grow: Grow food, grow appreciation and grow stronger. It also helps shed light on the values of our farming community and how it relates to us all. We’re all in this together as a country, and we can grow stronger as one, even if we’re apart,”

said Yannick Montagano, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kubota Canada Ltd.

“Kubota is pleased to introduce the FastBale in Canada and we believe this new product will help redefine the approach to round baling. Unlike a conventional round baler, the FastBale’s unique design saves the operator considerable time since there is no stopping to finish the binding and to discharge the bale,”

said Yannick Montagano, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kubota Canada Ltd.

The FastBale boasts some of the most significant innovations to baling since net wrap. Its cleverly designed twin bale chambers and wrapping system ramps up baling efficiency, bale uniformity and bale quality without stopping or allowing the bale to touch the ground prior to completing the process.

The FastBale was developed and built by the Kverneland Group, a Kubota subsidiary, at their facility in Ravenna, Italy. The baler offers a leading-edge design, using two bale chambers arranged in series – a pre-chamber and a main chamber. The pre-chamber is two-thirds of the size of the main chamber, which allows the FastBale to create an industry first, dual-density bale from a fixed chamber baler. This also makes the FastBale one of the most compact baler wrapper combinations available.

The baling process starts with feeding crop into the pre-chamber using a massive 800 mm intake rotor equipped with a 25-knife chopping system. When the bale has achieved the set density in the pre- chamber, the crop flow and the bale are transferred to the main chamber. Once the bale is complete, the crop flow is redirected back to the pre-chamber and the netting is applied. The bale in the main chamber is then ejected onto the wrapper where it is quickly wrapped and gently placed onto the ground with no rolling momentum. When the pre-chamber is full, the process repeats itself. This enables baling to continue uninterrupted – something that is truly appreciated by operators.

The FastBale raises the bar in the field of baling technology in Canada for custom operators and farmers alike by making baling easier and more efficient. Kubota Canada Ltd. is pleased to introduce this innovative new product as they continue to build a leading position in the round baler market in Canada.
