Kubota M135GX-III vs Kubota M7-163

Verdict: Kubota M135GX-III vs Kubota M7-163

The Kubota M135GX-III and the Kubota M7-163 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M7-163 leads on rated power with 150 hp against 143 hp. Kubota M7-163 is the lighter machine (7,350 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 M7-163 holds more fuel (330.1 L vs 190.0 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M7-163 is the newer design (2020 vs 2016). In short: choose the Kubota M7-163 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M135GX-III if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
