Kubota M5-091 vs Kubota MD97

Verdict: Kubota M5-091 vs Kubota MD97

The Kubota M5-091 and the Kubota MD97 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M5-091 leads on rated power with 93 hp against 92 hp. Kubota M5-091 is the lighter machine (5,622 kg vs 7,694 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota MD97 holds more fuel (149.9 L vs 104.8 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M5-091 is the newer design (2015 vs 1995).
