Kubota L5240 vs Kubota MX5200

Verdict: Kubota L5240 vs Kubota MX5200

The Kubota L5240 and the Kubota MX5200 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota MX5200 leads on rated power with 55 hp against 54 hp. Kubota MX5200 is the lighter machine (3,474 kg vs 3,902 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota L5240 holds more fuel (54.1 L vs 51.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota MX5200 is the newer design (2014 vs 2007). In short: choose the Kubota MX5200 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota L5240 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
