Bobcat L28 vs Kubota R070

The Kubota R070 is about 92% heavier than the Bobcat L28 (5,000 vs 2,600 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Bobcat and Kubota in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
