Kubota M125GX-III vs Kubota M135X

Verdict: Kubota M125GX-III vs Kubota M135X

The Kubota M125GX-III and the Kubota M135X are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M135X leads on rated power with 135 hp against 133 hp. Kubota M135X is the lighter machine (4,599 kg vs 10,604 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M125GX-III is the newer design (2016 vs 2009). In short: choose the Kubota M135X for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M125GX-III if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
