Kubota M1-55 vs Kubota M4900

Verdict: Kubota M1-55 vs Kubota M4900

The Kubota M1-55 and the Kubota M4900 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M4900 leads on rated power with 54 hp against 53 hp. Kubota M1-55 is the lighter machine (2,449 kg vs 3,748 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M1-55 holds more fuel (79.9 L vs 65.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M4900 is the newer design (2001 vs 1988). In short: choose the Kubota M4900 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M1-55 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
