Kubota KL58Z vs Kubota M5640SU

Verdict: Kubota KL58Z vs Kubota M5640SU

The Kubota KL58Z and the Kubota M5640SU are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota KL58Z leads on rated power with 57 hp against 56 hp. Kubota KL58Z is the lighter machine (1,920 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 is the newer design (2012 vs 2009). In short: choose the Kubota KL58Z for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M5640SU if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
