Kubota M Series vs MX Series

Today we are breaking down the difference between the M and MX Series tractors to help with your decision process of choosing between the two!

I love my MX 5800! I'm on 12 acres and have done a lot of clearing in my wooded area (and quite rocky in my area). I also help out here and there on my neighbor's 20 acre horse farm, e.g. clearing, mowing, spreading stone dust for the horse arena, etc. I've had my MX 5800 for ~2.5 years. It is my first real/compact tractor, and I don't know how I ever lived without it!

I have an MX5400 open station and I would not trade it for the world. I have 21+ acres and it does everything I need it to do. In a perfect world it would come standard with 2 rear remotes and external cylinders on the 3 point hitch, but it IS an economy tractor and the trade off is well worth the $10, 000 or so you save from an M series utility tractor. If you farm for a living then go for the M series, but if you're just mowing, grappling, and doing general land maintenance, this is the perfect machine. It is more than capable of doing occasional small farm tasks like lifting round bails and running a small square bailer, or Raking hay . You can get the MX with a cab if you need AC in the summer and heat in the winter, but if you were raised using letter series tractors from the 40's and 50's, just having 4 wheel drive and power steering make this a luxury machine. Do yourself a favor and make sure it comes with a skid steer quick attach coupler, and have your dealer install a 3rd function valve. No regrets!!! Thus far anyway! Remember to make the most of today because tomorrow is never guaranteed! Stay safe.

Mx will not pick up 2000lbs. Maybe the book at the pivot point says that but when you add pallet forks or grapple then there’s no way to pick up 2000 lbs. I purchased the MX 6000 and it’s a great tractor except it won’t pick up a pallet of deer corn or protein, (2000lbs) which is one of the reasons I bought it. Now considering the 7060.

The money is so close to these machines I'd go with the M6060 they are way stronger.
