Where the Mahindra\u2019s station is made from metal components, the Kubota uses plastic for the console and other areas in the operator\u2019s station. This isn\u2019t a huge deal as it doesn\u2019t impact the functionality of the tractor, but might be something to keep in mind if it\u2019s important to you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Round Winner:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tie<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Round 2.

Manufactured by Kubota themselves, you have the peace of mind knowing if anything goes wrong, you can get in touch with Kubota to get it fixed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mahindra\u2019s engine manufacturer can vary, with some carrying Mitsubishi engines or other manufacturers. So it\u2019s important to check the Mahindra\u2019s engine to make a more informed choice, especially when it comes to needing spare parts. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s not to say the Mahindra isn\u2019t powerful\u2014it is.

This makes it easier for more novice operators to master driving the tractor. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, Kubota features a treadle pedal, which provides more floor space but some find it a little more awkward to drive. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This one really depends on your preference, but in this case simplicity wins out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Round Winner:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mahindra<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Round 4. Ergonomics &amp; Comfort<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re out mowing your 4-acre property, comfort becomes pretty important. Both of these small tractors feature some elements that will make using the tractor a little more pleasant. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Cab<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While both these tractors come standard without a cab, if you are after premium comfort Mahindra do offer a cab option with their eMax 25 HST. Unfortunately, it seems Kubota don\u2019t offer a cab option for the BX2670, however you\u2019d probably be able to find an aftermarket cab if necessary. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Comfort<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both tractors have the cruise control feature which would make those long days much easier. The Kubota comes standard with armrests, the Mahindra does not. On the flipside, Mahindra has the suspension seat as standard, where the Kubota does not. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Convenience<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fuel tank is located on the front of the Mahindra, where the Kubota\u2019s is underneath the operator\u2019s seat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The joystick controls on the Mahindra seem to be in an awkward position, where the Kubota\u2019s seem to be more ergonomically placed. This could be an issue if you\u2019re going to spend long hours on your sub-compact tractor. You might want to test them both for yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Round Winner:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Mahindra (thanks to the suspension seat)<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Round 5.

For a quick-reference table, scroll to the end of this article. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Weight<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to its heavy steel build, the Mahindra outweighs the Kubota by 65kg, which doesn\u2019t seem like much but can make a difference to its impact force on your lawns. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Lift Capacity<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Mahindra outlifts the Kubota by about 109kg behind the pin, which is a pretty significant difference.
