What you thought was impossible
in a mid-size tractor is now ...
Sales of Kubota M Series
tractors ranging from 50 to 125 horsepower are on the rise. In
fact, the company is reporting impressive sales growth within this
market segment on a monthly and yearly basis.
According to Kubota Australia’s
M series Product Manager, Lars Pasedag, the increasing popularity
of Kubota M series is due to a number of factors. “As more
farmers experience the reliability and performance of Kubota
tractors, a large number of sales are made based on word of mouth
recommendations. Combined with an ever increasing tractor range
incorporating the latest in engine and transmission advancements,
Kubota tractors are now high up on the shopping list. Also, Kubota
dealers are eager to recommend and sell Kubota M series tractors
because they are secure in the knowledge the tractors are pretty
much bullet proof." Lars said.
The extensive range of Kubota M
series begins with the value for money 50 horsepower MX5000 and
progressively works through a number of series and configurations
culminating in the top of the range 125 horsepower
M125X.
Featuring a 5-cylinder Kubota
direct injection diesel engine with waste-gate turbo charger, the
M125X is favoured by farmers and contractors who require a top
performer. With outstanding lugging ability even in the most
demanding of conditions, the M125X handles drawbar applications
extremely well. Another two 105 and 95 horsepower 4 cylinder M-X
powershift models are also available, with all three models
incorporating Kubota’s Intelli Power Shift transmission with eight
clutch less on the move changes within both high and low
range.
Moving to the high performance
95 and 105 horsepower MS series, the transmission changes to a 32
speed manual version with hydraulic forward/reverse and dual speed.
Fitted with Kubota’s new centre direct injection V3800 engine with
four valves per cylinder, the MS models exhibit superior levels of
performance and fuel economy.
Next in line is the new M40
series high end utility tractor range.
They allow customers access to
a number of class leading engineering advancements not found on
many tractors in this class. Comprising 95, 85, 70 and 60
horsepower models the M40 series tractors have a striking
appearance that commands attention, deliver on all levels and are
the ideal all rounder tractor.
M9540 and M8540 hydraulic
shuttle models have 18 forward and 18 reverse speeds while the
M6040 and M7040 have 12 forward and 12 reverse speeds. The main
shift allows the operator to shift “on the fly” making operation
extremely smooth. Engineered to produce superior pulling power,
maximum performance and smoother operation, shifting between
forward and reverse is seamless and smooth.
All M40 series feature Kubota’s
Ultra Grand Cab with curved glass and more headroom for improved
operator visibility and mobility. Exceptional manouevrability is
achieved by models M7040, M8540 and M9540 due to a bevel-gear front
axle featuring a 55-degree turning radius. Non cab models are also
available.
With
an ever strengthening farm tractor line up Kubota Australia is
poised to make further inroads into the 50 to 125 horsepower
tractor market segment. ”With the current level of sales momentum
showing no signs of slowing we are tracking towards a higher
position in the market place as is the case in the USA and Canada“
Lars said.
