I’m not familiar with that particular model, but HP doesn’t have as much to do with status of SCUT vs CUT as tire size, frame size, possibly weight, and 3pt geometry. There are lots of CUTs out there with HP in the mid 20s.
There’s some crossover between CUT and SCUT in that 23-24 HP range.[/QUOTE]
Take a good look at the Kubota listings in tractordata and you will find some interesting reading. SCUTs with 9 hp, CUTs with 15 hp, and some of
both classes that are smaller than the heavy GTs.
Tractor Data classifies it as a CUT...but I found this pretty definitive information
Subcompact tractors have the versatility of a larger tractor on a smaller frame. They are generally a good choice for areas larger than five acres or jobs that involve transporting multiple tons of rock, working with multiple tons of topsoil, mowing rough land, landscape grading and moving large amounts of snow. A subcompact tractor can lift approximately half its weight, carry a weight greater than its own, and push or pull several times more than its own weight. Subcompact tractors typically feature a three-point hitch and a four-wheel drive, and all use a diesel engine.
There are GTs that will also fit this description. The difference is that things like a 3PH are an extra cost option on a GT and standard on SCUTs and CUTs.
The lines differentiating the three classes are blurry in the extreme. The one thing that SCUTs and CUTs have that diesel powered GTs do not have, even as an option, is a 2-speed final drive. On the other hand, there are several older gas powered GT models from various manufacturers that do have a 2-speed final drive, but they don't have 4wd.
