Kubota BX2680 vs Solis H26
Both sit in the Sub-Compact class with similar engine horsepower (24.8 vs 26 HP). Below: catalog Facts for engine horsepower, weight, and rear lift; PTO and hitch only when verified. The decision points call out who leads on each Fact — engine HP is not a substitute for PTO HP.
Engine horsepower is not PTO horsepower. Missing Facts show as — — we never invent shaft ratings.
How to choose
- Solis H26 lists higher engine horsepower (26 vs 24.8 HP). That is not a PTO advantage — confirm shaft power separately before buying cutters or tillers.
- The gap vs Kubota BX2680 is small (~1.2 HP) — rear lift or hitch class often matter more day to day.
- Solis H26 is heavier (2,723 vs 1,521 lb operating weight) — usually more stability and traction; Kubota BX2680 stays easier to maneuver in tight yards.
- Solis H26 has more rear lift (1,323 vs 680 lb @ 24″) — more headroom for heavier three-point tools. Kubota BX2680 needs lighter implements or stricter ballast discipline.
- Kubota BX2680 has verified 19.5 PTO HP; Solis H26 is missing that Fact — look it up on the OEM sheet before comparing PTO implements.
- Next step: open the Fit checker with the tractor that wins on your heaviest implement, and screen hitch, PTO, and lift against that attachment.
