Head-to-Head Comparison
KIOTI CK2620 vs Kubota LX2620
People have cross-shopped this pairing since it was the CK2610 against the LX2610. Both lines have been refreshed since, so this page compares the current machines: the CK2620 and the LX2620SU.
One thing worth knowing up front. Kubota's published power went down in the refresh. The LX2620 lists at 23.3 hp gross where the old LX2610 listed 24.8. The CK2620 lists at 24.5.

Specs come straight from each manufacturer's own published literature. A blank marked "Not published" means that brand doesn't publish the figure for this model, not that it's zero.
Where the CK2620 wins
- Power. 24.5 hp gross against 23.3.
- Hydraulics. 11.7 gpm against 8.7. Loader speed lives in that number.
- Fuel capacity. 9.0 gallons against 7.1.
- Choice of transmission. The CK2620 comes as a 9x3 gear tractor or a 3-range HST. The LX2620SU is HST only.
Where the LX2620SU (LX2620SUHSD) wins
- PTO power. 19.4 hp against 18.7.
- Three-point lift. 1,676 lb against 1,631, both at 24 inches behind the hitch.
- Ground clearance. 14.6 inches against 13.4.
- Turning radius. Kubota publishes 6.9 ft with brake. KIOTI doesn't publish one for the CK20 line.
Our take
These two are close, closer than the badge premium suggests. The Kubota edges the hitch numbers. The KIOTI brings more gross power, a bigger tank, and a lot more hydraulic flow.

About the measurements
- KIOTI doesn't publish CK20-series operating weight or turning radius in the current brochure, so those rows are blank on our side.
- Kubota's figures come from the LX20 brochure's LX2620SUHSD column, the trim people actually cross-shop.
Competitor specs come from each manufacturer's published spec sheets and product pages, pulled July 2026. Manufacturers change specs, so check the current sheet before you buy. Competitor brand and model names belong to their owners. We're a KIOTI and LS dealer, and this page says so up front.
