8F/8R FULLY-SYNCHRONIZED MAIN AND SHUTTLE TRANSMISSION

Shifting between forward and reverse can now be achieved smoothly and quickly, and without needing to stop the tractor. The synchronized four speeds of the main shift in combination with Hi/Low range allow 8F/8R speeds. The four speeds permit convenient, on-the-fly up and down shifting. The optional creep speed kit makes it 12F/12R. (M4900SUD have 8F/4R.)

 

DELUXE SEAT

The deluxe seat on the M-Series has been designed for operator comfort. Features include formed cushions, armrests and adjustable suspension. It is adjustable fore and aft, and for height, as well. A retractable seat belt is standard.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCK

When wheel slippage occurs, the rear differential lock pedal can be engaged easily. It immediately activates both rear wheels. 4WD models of M6800/8200/9000 also include a similarly easy-to-reach front differential lock pedal, which can be operated independently from the rear differential lock. The result is a reduction in slippage.

E-TVCS ENGINE

The M-Series from Kubota features the E-TVCS engine, a sophisticated indirect injection, liquid-cooled diesel engine which meets EPA regulations concerning emissions. Our multi-valve system on M6800/8200/9000 provides for more efficient air intake, which leads to greater power, higher torque rise, faster combustion, cleaner emissions, and lower noise.

HIGH TORQUE RISE

The governor and fuel injection pumps are integrated into a single, compact unit to produce an astounding 28% torque rise (26% on M4900/5700). Response to sudden load fluctuations is quick, reducing engine rpm drop. This means these tractors will perform smoothly under virtually any load condition with less need for downshifting and greater fuel efficiency.

 

BEVEL GEAR 4WD

Thanks to Kubota's bevel gear 4WD system, the turning radius is comparable to that of a 2WD. As well as allowing exceptional mobility in tight areas, the bevel gear system allows smooth power transfer to the wheels at all angles. All gears are hermetically sealed in oil to improve durability.

HYDROSTATIC POWER STEERING

Kubota's hydrostatic power steering, while assuming the burden of heavy work, provides smooth, responsive steering. Power assist is enough even when the vehicle is stationary.

HANGING PEDALS AND EASY-TO-OPERATE CONTROL LEVERS

Augmenting the spaciousness of the deck are the hanging pedals. The hanging pedals provide more legroom, as well as increase comfort. All control levers have been strategically positioned for maximum operating room, efficiency, and access.

 

CLUTCH

Kubota has upgraded the heavy-duty main clutch with a new, well-tested material of superb abrasion resistance to extend clutch life. The reliability of the clutch for heavy loader work has been further improved. The clutch diameter is 10.8 inches (275mm) on M4900/5700/6800, and 11.8 inches (300mm) on M8200/9000.

 

FULL-FLOATING ISO-MOUNTED SEMI-FLAT/FULL-FLAT CAB DECK

The deck was ergonomically designed to maximize operator comfort. The deck is spacious enough to allow comfort and freedom of movement. ISO (Isolated)-mounting with rubber mat also helps to decrease operator fatigue by reducing noise and vibration, even after long hours on the job.

Back to top

ENCLOSED MUFFLER

For added operator visibility and even further noise reduction, the muffler is contained within the engine compartment. The only protrusion is an exhaust pipe, which can be detached easily without opening the hood when the ROPS is folded down temporarily. For a lower profile, an optional under muffler or a down exhaust pipe (on ROPS models) is available.

ONE-PIECE FULL-OPEN HOOD

Maintenance is easily performed, thanks to the new high-access, one-touch opening hood; servicing points such as the battery, air cleaner, radiator screen, and fan belt are within easy reach. The hood, fenders, and fuel tank are made of formed steel for longevity, quick repair, and a sturdy, dignified look.

DUAL-ELEMENT AIR CLEANER

The highly efficient air-cleaning system consists of two dry-type elements: a primary and a secondary that combine to ensure engine longevity. The system allows risk-free primary filter replacement even in dusty conditions.

FOLDABLE ROPS

A foldable Roll-Over Protective Structure with retractable seatbelt is standard. It may be temporarily folded down without tools, so that the tractor may pass under areas with height constraints. (There is no operator protection provided by the ROPS in the folded position. For operator safety, the ROPS should be placed in the upright and locked position and the seat belt fastened for all other operations.)

LARGE CAPACITY HYDRAULIC PUMPS

The Kubota M9000 (M8200 optional) boasts an exceptionally large hydraulic pump capacity of 17 gpm (64.3 l/min). The M4900/5700/6800 and M8200 are equally as impressive at 11 gpm (41.6 l/min). As a result, the front loader cycle times are short, increasing productivity and facilitating operation.

AUXILIARY REMOTE HYDRAULIC VALVES

The M-Series have a double-acting remote hydraulic valve with detents and self-canceling feature as standard equipment. Additional self-canceling or float type valves are optional. Thanks to the optional flow control valve (on specific models), the 3-point hitch and a remote valve may be operated simultaneously. Simultaneous operation can be made between two remote valves, as well. (Valves are optional on the M4900SUD.)

LIVE-INDEPENDENT, HYDRAULIC PTO

The M-Series offers smooth operation with a live, independent, 540-rpm PTO with a hydraulically actuated, wet-type PTO clutch. Self-modulating engagement with a light touch means implements engage smoothly. The independent-type PTO clutch can be engaged or disengaged without depressing the clutch pedal, regardless of whether the tractor is stationary or moving. The clutch lever is located on the right-hand side to provide easy visibility to implements during operation.

3-POINT HITCH

The Category I & II (M4900/5700/6800) and Category II (M8200/9000) 3-point hitch provides fast attachment of implements. The lift rod and stabilizers allow easy implement hook-up. The telescopic lower link ends further facilitate attachment (optional on the M4900SUD). Lift capacity is as much as 3310 lbs. (1500kg) on M4900/5700/6800 and 4630 lbs. (2100kg) on M8200/9000 at 24" behind the lift point.

MAXIMUM COMFORT CAB

The M-Series Ultra Cab II is one of the most comfortable on the market today. Thanks to a dual-level air conditioning system, it’s possible to cool your upper body while keeping your feet warm. A deluxe seat provides armrests, reclining seat back, and suspension system. The full-flat deck has been engineered to provide plenty of leg room, while reducing vibration and driver fatigue.

EASY OPERATION

M-Series tractors feature cabs that are ergonomically designed for maximum productivity. All operational levers, including the main shift lever, are conveniently located to the side of the seat, within easy reach. A tilt steering wheel has been designed to better suit the unique posture of the driver. The fuel tank has been enlarged, minimizing the amount of downtime needed for refueling.

EXCELLENT VISIBILITY

Thanks to a large overall glass area and frameless doors, we’re able to offer excellent visibility. Side windows may be opened, as can the hatch-back-type rear window. The bottom-hinge front wiper also helps improve visibility.
