Kubota M100X vs Kubota M9960

Verdict: Kubota M100X vs Kubota M9960

The Kubota M100X and the Kubota M9960 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Both are rated at the same 100 hp. Kubota M100X is the lighter machine (4,020 kg vs 5,535 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M100X holds more fuel (190 L vs 90.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M9960 is the newer design (2013 vs 2009).
