Kubota M5500 vs Kubota M6060

Verdict: Kubota M5500 vs Kubota M6060

The Kubota M5500 and the Kubota M6060 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M6060 leads on rated power with 64 hp against 63 hp. Kubota M5500 is the lighter machine (4,224 kg vs 5,005 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M6060 holds more fuel (70.0 L vs 54.1 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M6060 is the newer design (2013 vs 1979).
