Kubota R070 vs Wacker Neuson WL52

The Kubota R070 is about 5% heavier than the Wacker Neuson WL52 (5,000 vs 4,750 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Kubota and Wacker Neuson in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
