Where the Kubota U35 Leads the Jobsite
Standard Hydraulic Diverter Valve
Easily divert oil flow between your hydraulic thumb and auxiliary attachments right on the arm without disconnecting lines or spilling hydraulic fluid on the dirt.
Heavy-Duty Ground Stability
Additional operating weight and a low-center-of-gravity frame provide superior balance when lifting heavy pipe or box culverts over the side.
No-DPF Maintenance Headaches
The clean-burning 24.8 HP Kubota diesel engine delivers high system pressure while completely eliminating diesel particulate filter (DPF) regeneration cycles and filter swaps.
The John Deere 35P Is Capable. Kubota Brings a Different Kind of Value.
To give credit where it's due, the John Deere 35P is a capable 3.5-ton machine with a responsive hydraulic feel and respectable digging force. However, for contractors and landowners looking for a slightly heavier, rock-solid digging footprint, built-in hydraulic versatility, and long-term diesel engine simplicity, our team routinely sees operators place their trust in the U35-4.
