Kubota M7040 vs Kubota M7040SU

Verdict: Kubota M7040 vs Kubota M7040SU

The Kubota M7040 and the Kubota M7040SU are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M7040SU leads on rated power with 68 hp against 67 hp. Kubota M7040SU is the lighter machine (4,475 kg vs 4,675 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work.
