Kubota M7-172 vs Kubota M7-174

Verdict: Kubota M7-172 vs Kubota M7-174

The Kubota M7-172 and the Kubota M7-174 are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M7-172 leads on rated power with 170 hp against 168 hp. Kubota M7-172 is the lighter machine (6,300 kg vs 6,598 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M7-172 holds more fuel (330.1 L vs 329.3 L) for longer stints between fills. Kubota M7-174 is the newer design (2023 vs 2018).
