Six New Kubota Specialty Ag Tractors

Last year Kubota announced six new specialty ag tractors to provide a better product offerings to customers who rely on those machines for their commercial operations. Below are some details Kubota has provided on the new machines.

ROPS MODELS DELIVER THE SAME M SERIES POWER WITH GREATER ECONOMY

The new M4N-071 ROPS, M5N-091 ROPS and M5N-111 ROPS models all feature Kubota-engineered and built V-3800 Tier 4 engine, performance-matched to bring Kubota durability and greater affordability to the strenuous demands of specialty agricultural applications. The open operator station design of the M5N-091 ROPS and M5N-111 ROPS offers more operator leg room and, combined with design changes in the bevel gear housing, they also boast two-inches lower hood height than the cab models. The three new ROPS models include increased alternator capacity, larger radiator and larger diameter cooling fan introduced in the cab models. All engines include a common rail fuel system, intercooler and exhaust gas recirculation, while employing a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction for minimizing emissions. Standard RPM memory settings for repetitious actions enhance performance efficiency.

THE NEW M5N-091 4WD POWER KRAWLER PROVIDES SOLUTIONS FOR RUGGED, HILLY TERRAIN

The new Kubota M5N-091 PK Narrow Cab tractor also features the Kubota V-3800 Tier 4 engine, along with interior cab upgrades, updated hydraulic capacity and greater track durability through design and material enhancements. Track engineering upgrades and thicker material promotes longevity of the independently oscillating left and right rear tracks, which ensure greater traction and sure-footed climbing in vineyards and other hilly terrain. Like the other new narrow tractor models, the Power Krawler offers two self-cancelling detent deluxe built-in flow control valves, with an option to add up to five total valves. A redesigned operator station puts all main controls on the operator’s right-hand side, and a steering wheel with 40 degrees of tilt. The M5N-091 4WD Narrow Power Krawler has a maximum travel speed of 17.9 mph, an increase over the maximum speed of 13.2 mph of the M8540 PK, which it replaces in Kubota’s narrow tractor lineup.

POWERFUL LOW PROFILE AND HIGH CLEARANCE SOLUTIONS FROM THE NEW M6L-111 AND M6H-101

The new M6H-101 and M6L-111 execute high clearance and low profile applications, powered by Tier-4 Kubota Clean Diesel engines. Strawberry and specialty row crop producers have anticipated the M6H-101, which brings top-of-class 25.8 inches of ground clearance. The low profile M6L-111 provides superior power for tree fruit and nut orchards, as well as poultry operations and other agricultural applications requiring superior power in a low-clearance design. The new high-clearance and low profile tractors feature the same engine technology in other models of the M6 Series, with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Common Rail System (CRS) that combine with a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) muffler and an Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system to meet Tier 4 Final emissions regulations.
