Kubota KL58Z-PC vs Kubota M4500

Verdict: Kubota KL58Z-PC vs Kubota M4500

The Kubota KL58Z-PC and the Kubota M4500 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota KL58Z-PC leads on rated power with 57 hp against 56 hp. Kubota KL58Z-PC is the lighter machine (2,145 kg vs 4,220 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M4500 holds more fuel (54.1 L vs 48.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota KL58Z-PC is the newer design (2012 vs 1978).
