Kubota KL58Z-PC vs Kubota M5640SU

Verdict: Kubota KL58Z-PC vs Kubota M5640SU

The Kubota KL58Z-PC and the Kubota M5640SU 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 3,747 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M5640SU holds more fuel (49.6 L vs 48.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota KL58Z-PC is the newer design (2012 vs 2009). In short: choose the Kubota KL58Z-PC for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M5640SU if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
