Common questions
Kubota M8950 weight FAQ
How much does a Kubota M8950 weigh?
The Kubota M8950 weighs 9,555 lb (4,334 kg) using the published Operating — 4WD cab figure. Across the published configurations on this page, weight ranges from 6,953 to 12,270 lb (3,153 to 5,565 kg).
How much heavier is the 4WD Kubota M8950 than the 2WD model?
Published 2WD weight is 6,953 lb (3,154 kg), while published 4WD weight is 7,726–9,555 lb (3,504–4,334 kg). On a midpoint basis, the published 4WD configurations are about 1,688 lb heavier. Tires, transmission and other configuration differences can also affect the number.
What is the operating weight of the Kubota M8950 compared with shipping weight?
Published operating weight is 9,555 lb (4,334 kg), versus 6,953–7,726 lb (3,154–3,504 kg) for shipping weight. That is roughly 2,602 lb (37.4%) more than shipping weight. Operating weight is generally the more useful starting point when estimating a ready-to-use tractor.
How much does the Kubota M8950 weigh with ballast?
The published ballasted weight is 12,270 lb (5,566 kg). That is up to 5,317 lb (76.5%) above the lightest published configuration. Ballast can therefore change the practical hauling and ground-pressure picture substantially on this model.
Is the Kubota M8950 a heavy utility tractor?
Yes. The representative figure sits at about the 90th percentile, heavier than roughly 90% of the utility tractor peers. That puts it in the heavy range for this comparison. It is 4,292 lb heavier than the peer-group average of 5,263 lb.
How wide is the Kubota M8950 for transport?
The maximum published tractor width is 79.5 in (6.6 ft). That is 22.5 in under 8.5 ft before allowing for a loader, duals, implements or other equipment that may increase transport width.
