Tractor comparison: TYM T4058P vs. Kubota MX5400
Comparison
April 18, 2025
Choosing the right compact utility tractor means weighing a variety of factors—performance, comfort, durability, and overall value. It’s not a one-size-fits-all decision, and the best choice depends on your specific needs. To make that choice easier, we’ve compared two standout models: the TYM T4058P and the Kubota MX540. Both offer impressive features and value, but depending on your priorities, one may be the better fit.

Engine and Power: 58 horsepower where it counts

The latest addition to the TYM Series 4 lineup, the T4058P packs 58 horsepower under the hood and approximately 50 HP at the PTO, giving it a slight edge over the Kubota MX5400’s 55.5 gross HP and 46.5 PTO HP. That extra power translates to stronger performance when operating attachments or handling demanding fieldwork.

Built for all-around productivity, the T4058P features a Synchro Shuttle transmission with 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds, offering versatility for any job. In contrast, the MX5400 features a hydrostatic transmission, ideal for loader work and tasks that require smooth, continuous speed adjustments.

Hydraulics and Lifting: Premium performance from TYM

With a hydraulic flow of approximately 12.1 GPM and a 3-point hitch lift capacity of 2,646 lbs, the TYM T4058P outperforms the Kubota in both flow and lift strength. It’s engineered for operators who rely on heavy-duty attachments and need a premium tractor that delivers consistent performance in demanding conditions. While the Kubota’s 9.5 GPM hydraulic flow and 2,310 lbs lift capacity are suitable for moderate use, the T4058P offers better performance for more demanding tasks.

In terms of remote valves, the T4058P is also more capable—equipped with four front and four rear valves as standard. This setup offers greater flexibility for operating multiple hydraulic implements at once, such as a front-end loader and backhoe. In contrast, the MX5400 offers a maximum of three remote valves as an optional add-on, limiting simultaneous implement usage and overall flexibility.

Built for real work with maneuverability and robustness

Designed to boost output, the TYM T4058P weighs approximately 4,500 lb., giving it an edge in traction and stability during heavy ground work across varied terrains, from fields to forests. Kubota’s lighter build and tighter turning radius might make it easier to maneuver in smaller areas like livestock enclosures. When it comes to fuel efficiency on long workdays, the T4058P also features a larger 15.3-gallon fuel tank compared to the MX5400’s 13.5 gallons—meaning fewer stops to refuel and more time spent on getting the job done.

Discover why the TYM T4058P outshines others in its category

Both the TYM T4058P and the Kubota MX5400 are high-quality machines, but the T4058P stands out as a smarter, more cost-effective choice for those seeking strong performance at a better value. Choose the TYM T4058P if you're looking for 58 horsepower, higher lift capacity, and superior specs at a more accessible price point. It’s an ideal option for those who want all-around productivity in a compact utility package.
