Kubota M8950 vs Kubota M95S

Verdict: Kubota M8950 vs Kubota M95S

The Kubota M8950 and the Kubota M95S are both tractors — here is how they stack up on the figures that matter. Kubota M8950 leads on rated power with 96 hp against 95 hp. Kubota M95S is the lighter machine (6,261 kg vs 6,953 kg), which helps on soft ground and transport, while the heavier model carries more ballast for traction-limited draft work. Kubota M95S is the newer design (2005 vs 1984). In short: choose the Kubota M8950 for outright pulling power, or the Kubota M95S if a tighter budget and lighter footprint matter more.
