Looking for a utility tractor in Harlingen, Texas? Debating whether the Kubota MX Series or the John Deere 4M Series is the better tractor for your needs? We’re big fans of the Kubota MX Series here at Elliff Kubota, located in Harlingen, Texas, and we’d love to set the record straight and show you just how powerful and reliable the MX Series is!
Stand the test of time with Kubota’s outstanding reputation for durability! Boasting a heavy-duty front axle, steel hood, cast steel transmission and metal fenders, the Kubota MX Series promises it’s with you for the long haul, and won’t falter under pressure. A ROPS (Rollover Protection Structure) is standard on the MX Series, but an available, dealer-installed cab gives you year-round comfort as you tackle chores and field work. The John Deere 4M Series also comes as a standard ROPS model and features an available cab option, but makes use of a composite plastic hood and axle casing, alongside aluminum parts. Ergonomic placement of controls in MX Series keeps things simple for the operator and fights fatigue to keep you working efficiently throughout the day. Sure, no-dent and no-scratch sounds nice, but at the end of the day, we trust steel a lot more than we trust composite plastic, and with Kubota’s added operator comfort, we think the leader of the pack is pretty clear.
When searching for a mid-size tractor, you know one thing for sure. You want plenty of power to make short work of your chores and let you go the distance on your property. Curious how much horsepower does the Kubota MX Series have? A Tier 4 emissions, Kubota-built, diesel engine gives the Kubota MX Series a 55 to 63 horsepower range, topping out in the Kubota MX6000. The John Deere 4M Series sports a 43 to 66 horsepower rating, peaking in the 4066M, but features a Yanmar engine to reach its full potential. When you buy a Kubota, you’re buying a product built from the ground-up by Kubota, something that goes a long way in the world of reliability and longevity. With standard 4WD and both hydrostatic and gear drive transmissions, your utility tractor is ready to put power where you need it, when you need it, and the kubota MX5400 offers a 2WD option, should you prefer it. The MX Series utilizes an Electric-Over-Hydraulic Switch to give you streamlined access to its 51.7 PTO horsepower and with plenty of hydraulic power up-front, you’ll make ample use of the MX Series’ wide range of performance matched attachments and implements. Go with the tractor you can rely on. The MX Series is designed to never back down and, most importantly, never let you down.
