Tractor Sizing Highest HP HST Kubota?

[Nilesw]

What is the highest HP cab and non cab kubota tractor with HST transmission?

 

[vvanders]

That's probably either the L6060 or MX5800.

Ya L6060 is the biggest Grand, not as familiar with the MXes. But generally all CUTs with HSTs top out at 60hp or so. Beyond that you are generally looking at field machines where the 15% HP tax for a HST over a geared machine. The powershift & GST type transmissions take over in that market. 700hp dozers have HSTs, so it's not a matter of engineering or capability. Just a matter of efficiency, control & price for the target market.

Are you looking for highest hp at the PTO? Or highest hp for greatest lift capacity?

Yep, seems tractors top out in the 60 how range for hst

Hmmm - - my 2009 M6040 has what Kubota calls an HST transmission(Hydraulic Shuttle trans). If this fits into what you are calling HST - - what about the 2009 M9540 with HST.

The M series tractors that you mention are hydraulic shuttle gear type transmissions, not hydrostats.

Thank you, SDT. You know - one of these days I might even understand all these types. I come from the era where transmissions were either manual or automatic. H e l l - I come from the era where ALL transmissions were manual. I think the first auto tranny I ever saw/heard of was in the brand new Buick the local banker purchased.

The first automatic I drove was a '60 Rambler American Station Wagon. Push button gear shift on the dash. :dance1:
