I'm not sure how it stacks up to the Kubota, but generally, I would think the B models would not compare. Maybe more like the Ls. Kiotis in the same class tend to be heavier than Kubotas. The LK3054XS TLB will have a fixed loader and backhoe, heavier duty than the existing available loaders/backhoes according to an engineer from Kioti. They will be removable, but only with effort, no quick attach. I was told by Kioti that the TLB would be available within about 2 weeks, but who knows. Delays always seem to happen with new issues. If you can wait, it looks like it will be worth it. John
