New model Kubota MX5800

[Dozernut]

Just saw on the Kubota site they have released a new M model, an MX5800, 61.4 hp with HST. Tractors - MX4800-MX5200 Series | Kubota Tractor Corporation

Looks real promising with the higher hp and still with the HST.

those are some nice looking kubota tractors.i noticed they added some hp as well.

Does it replace the MX5200 or is another model with more hp?

It looks to be an addition to the MX4800 & 5200. It is only available in HST and 4WD from what I could tell and all specs are about the same other than HP.

Still, a pretty nice machine overall.

i bet the 5800 replaced the 5740 like the 5200 rep[laced the 5100.

The L5740 is a Grand L and is replaced with the L6060. The MX's are in reality an economy L model.

no the 6060 replaced the 6040.

I was looking at getting a MX5100 and doing the same. What makes this machine what it is, is a simple turbo swap. Nothing more to it. They use the same engine in their 48-62HP tractors changing nothing but the turbo and the settings for fuel delivery. You'll see this engine in the grand Ls in that HP range. Check out the parts diagrams, they are all the same except the turbo (most likely just the waste gate / blow off)

Actually the L5740 is replaced by the L6060......the M6060 replaces the M6040.

All these new models are tier 4 final compliant so have DPF and a nice hefty price increase. I have the MX5100 and love it. As noted above the new models are all on this same chassis, just more HP. helps the salesforce to justify the price increase.

That's how I see it. :thumbsup:

Are the injectors and cam shaft the same between them. I could see the majority of the engine components being shared as that is very common, but turbo, injectors, cam are different with the hp change a lot of times.

Only checked turbo'd models, they had all of the same components except turbo assembly. Not sure if the non-turbo motor has different internals, probably the same due to lower cost of MFG all of the same parts.

That would make it easy to jump up a model with a easy turbo swap.

That's what I was thinking...

It's nice to know my motor in the MX5100 is capable of 61.4 hp, but is "de-rated" to 52 hp. To me, that means it's stout enough to handle the higher power. It should last a very long time!
