Sorry, I misread the OP.

Thought he was comparing 5740 with 6060.

Guys i've looked and there the exact same turbo engines. Is it just the ECM that's different or something else?
Post up some pictures so we can compare the intake's of the 2 as I'm curious on how Kubota is making the extra Hp.

Not familiar with the 5460 but manufacturers often turn up the governor (increased RPMs to increase HP.

So I suppose you could just swap a 6060 ECM into the 5460 and have the same power level..

I believe that other than the turbo, all the way back to the 4060 is the same engine. I would imagine that between turbo and computer controls they are incrementally increasing the hp.
My L4060 is a 3 cylinder. The Next one up is a 4 cylinder. I'm might have spring for the extra HP if it had been a turbo (I'm at just 7,000', we lack air here) rather than an extra cylinder.

The L3301 and L3901 is the same deal- $2k more for different programming. Saves money on parts stocking.

It's even done on analog diesel engines. My 37hp Branson had a 42hp brother with the same 2 liter four cylinder. They both use the typical Bosch VE type fuel pump. The difference according to the dealer is the fuel injectors.

Allis Chalmers played that increase the rpm's to get more HP game even back in the early 50's.

I don't know what to say, other than the specs from Kubota are 3 cylinders for the L3560 and 4 cylinders on the L4060 - 6060. I counted mine, and it is indeed a 4 cylinder.

Looked up the ECU...

60.2 ECU,ASSY replaces #1H390-60208 1H390-60209 $2,105.37 5-7 business days 1 to equal #1H390-60208

Is everything else exactly the same? I ask because in the MX series, the MX5200 comes with extendable lower links and telescoping stabilizers that the MX4800 doesn't. That and the turbo are the biggest differences, I think there may be some other differences too, so the engine isn't the only thing that makes up the price difference. When I was internet shopping it seemed like Kubota did something similar in other lines also.
