Kubota L4850 vs Kubota MX5000

Verdict: Kubota L4850 vs Kubota MX5000

The Kubota L4850 and the Kubota MX5000 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota L4850 leads on rated power with 53 hp against 52 hp. Kubota L4850 is the lighter machine (1,850 kg vs 3,284 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
