12F/12R 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/Creep range allow 12F/12R speeds. The four speeds permit convenient, on-the-fly up and down shifting.

 

E-TVCS ENGINE WITH DUAL ELEMENT AIR CLEANER SYSTEM

The Kubota Emission Three Vortex Combustion System (E-TVCS) is a sophisticated indirect injection, liquid-cooled diesel that meets EPA regulations. The multi-valve system provides efficient air intake that leads to greater power from faster combustion, a higher torque rise and cleaner emissions. A dual element air cleaner has a primary and a secondary filter to ensure long engine life, and it also allows risk-free primary filter replacement even in dusty conditions.

DIFFERENTIAL LOCKS

Front and rear differential locks eliminate wheel slippage by simply depressing the pedals. The front lock can be operated independently from the rear and provides unique control in slippery conditions.

HIGH TORQUE RISE

The governor and fuel injection pumps are integrated into a single, compact unit to produce an astounding 28% torque rise. 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 AND HYDROSTATIC POWER STEERING

Kubota's renown Bevel Gear 4WD system applies smooth consistent power to the front wheels at all turning angles as well as a short turning radius to enhance maneuverability. All gears are hermetically sealed in oil for long life. The Hydrostatic Power Steering is smooth and responsive, even under heavy loads.

 

CLUTCH

Kubota has upgraded the 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 11.8 inches (300mm).

FULL-FLOATING ISO-MOUNTED SEMI-FLAT 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.

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.

DELUXE SEAT AND FOLDABLE ROPS

The deluxe high-back seat with formed cushions provides optimum comfort all day. The adjustable suspension and armrests further enhance individual comfort regardless of the operator's stature.
The foldable ROPS with retractable seatbelt is standard. The ROPS can be folded temporarily to pass under low clearances, but does not provide operator protection at that time. Always keep the ROPS in the upright and locked position, and seatbelt fastened.

LARGE CAPACITY HYDRAULIC PUMPS

The M9000 pump system provides up to 17 gallons per minute for maximum hydraulic performance at the remotes and 3-point hitch to increase productivity.

AUXILIARY REMOTE HYDRAULIC VALVES

One, dual acting remote with self-canceling detent is standard, two or three are optional. The optional flow feature controls the amount of oil flow required. Float-type dent valves are also available for single-acting cylinders.

LIVE-INDEPENDENT HYDRAULIC PTO

The PTO lever is located for right-hand operation and is easily engaged while watching your implement. The hydraulic PTO clutch is self-modulating and can be engaged while the tractor is moving. The hydraulic PTO clutch is cooled by oil for long life. The PTO brake slows, stops, and retains the PTO when shut off. With the engine off, the PTO can be turned 60 degrees for easy connection. A dual speed 540/1000 PTO is optional.

3-POINT HITCH

The Category II, 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. Lift capacity is as much as 4630 lbs. (2100kg) at 24” behind the lift point. Optional lift assist provides 6393 lbs. total lift capacity.

HIGH CLEARANCE & ADJUSTABLE TIRE TREAD

By using a rear drop axle and same size, large diameter tires, the front axle crop clearance has been increased to 30.3 in. (770 mm), allowing you to work without damaging your crops. Tire tread width is available for narrow (approx. 60 in) or wide row (approx. 80 in) applications. With four same size tires, specialty tires are easily adaptable.

OPTIONAL MAXIMUM COMFORT CAB

The M-Series cab 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. The cab provides an adjustable deluxe seat with formed cushions and a suspension system. The ISO-mounted semi-flat deck has been engineered to provide plenty of legroom while reducing vibration and driver fatigue. And thanks to a large overall glass area and frameless doors, we’re able to offer excellent visibility. The side windows and hatchback-type rear window can be opened. The bottom-hinge front wiper also helps further improve visibility.

REAR DROP AXLE

The M9000 Mudder rear drop axle provides high crop clearance.
