The Kubota KL460 Hi-Speed and the Kubota L4470 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 KL460 Hi-Speed is the lighter machine (3,583 kg vs 4,266 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
