Kubota GL418 vs Kubota L3600

Verdict: Kubota GL418 vs Kubota L3600

The Kubota GL418 and the Kubota L3600 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L3600 leads on rated power with 39 hp against 38 hp. Kubota L3600 is the lighter machine (2,800 kg vs 3,197 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
