Kubota KL44Z-PC vs Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed

Verdict: Kubota KL44Z-PC vs Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed

The Kubota KL44Z-PC and the Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed leads on rated power with 45 hp against 44 hp. Kubota KL44Z-PC is the lighter machine (2,075 kg vs 3,583 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed holds more fuel (45.0 L vs 39.0 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota KL44Z-PC is the newer design (2012 vs 2006).
