Kubota Corporation has launched its new M5001 Series, a brand new range of 95HP to 113HP tractors, powered by a four cylinder V3800 Kubota engine and including a host of leading edge technology to maximise power, performance and end-user comfort and control.
The range has been introduced to replace and succeed the company’s previous M8540 and M9960 models.
The launch of the M5001 Series completes the renewal of M Series, which started with the introduction of the Flagship M7001 Series, introduced to target the 130HP to 170HP sector.
The M5001 series impresses with its functions and high efficiency, thanks to Kubota's leading-edge diesel technology. In this regard, the Japanese company is the first manufacturer to incorporate a CRS (Common Rail System) equipped with a urea catalyst (SCR), a system to recirculate exhaust gases with water refrigeration (EGR), a diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). The combination of these technologies optimises the individual operation of each one of them and reduces power consumption. In addition, this 16-valve engine meets strict emission control requirements imposed by Europe in the last stage of emissions known as Phase 4.
Another key feature of the Kubota M5001 Series is its ease of use, which allows end-users to successfully perform any type of job. The tractor has been specifically designed for jobs that demand excellent manoeuvrability and a demanding operability in jobs with power take-off.
Kubota has also launched MGX-III tractor range boasting machines from 90 to 140HP, building on the success of its ever-popular MGX-II range.
The four-cylinder engine, combined with its eight-gear powershift transmission allows users to quickly switch between multiple applications without losing power ensuring difficult daily challenges are overcome easily with the modern engine technology. The new range comes complete with Intelli-Shift, a smart powershift transmission system, which makes changing gears easier, either automatically or manually; particulatly useful when undertaking work on difficult ground conditions such as slopes.
Available in five models - M95GX, M105GX, M115GX, M125GX and M135GX – the series is fully equipped to provide farmers increased output and improved productivity, more comfortable driving and full visibility from its large cab. Complementing the range, the MGX III series incorporates two new front loaders, LA1955 and LA2255, offering optimum versatility whatever the application.
Kubota Agriculture is to strengthen its machinery portfolio with the launch of a range of Kubota-branded implements.
Covers will come off the orange-liveried implement range at the 2017 LAMMA Show. The range of implements will include a selection of disc mowers, flail choppers and fertiliser spreaders, which are manufactured and distributed for Kubota by the Kverneland Group.
When it comes to implements, Kubota Agriculture will be offering a range of grassland-oriented machines that have been chosen specifically to compliment the size and power ratings of the MGX-III, M5001 and M7001 tractor ranges.
For the 2017 season, Kubota’s implement range will include the following models:
