Machine of the Month: Kubota M8 series tractor
From material handling to a variety of field work, the Cummins-powered M8-series tractor is Kubota's most powerful tractor line to date.
Earlier this year Kubota unveiled its largest tractor, the 19,510 lb. (8550 kg) M8. Powered by a 190 hp (141 kW) or 210 hp (156 kW) Cummins B6.7 Performance Series engine, the M8 delivers the power and reliability that Kubota customers expect.
"The M8 Series is Kubota’s most powerful and advanced tractor line to date,” said Todd Stucke, Kubota senior vice president of marketing, product support and strategic projects. "The M8 allows us to aggressively fill a higher-horsepower customer need across the large utility and mid-size row crop tractor market – for material handling and hay tool application on dairy and livestock operations as well as a variety of field work. Built with an operating experience focused on easy-to-control comfort, confident workability, and intuitive controls for precision farming, the M8 will maximize return on investment for Kubota customers today and well into the future.”
Built with the ‘office with a view’ concept, this tractor has 148 cubic feet of cab space along with features that are designed with comfort and fatigue reduction in mind. Cummins’ latest B6.7 Performance Series engine offers high power and torque capability, while the removal of EGR facilitates a simpler design, easier packaging and less maintenance.
