Kubota M1-65 vs Kubota M6800

Verdict: Kubota M1-65 vs Kubota M6800

The Kubota M1-65 and the Kubota M6800 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M6800 leads on rated power with 62 hp against 61 hp. Kubota M1-65 is the lighter machine (2,580 kg vs 5,055 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M1-65 holds more fuel (79.9 L vs 65.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M6800 is the newer design (1997 vs 1988). In short: choose the Kubota M6800 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M1-65 if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more. Compare the full spec tables below before booking a demo.
