Kubota

Kubota's flagship M7000 series, manufactured in France, turned 10 years old in the fall of 2024 and has already entered its fourth development phase. The Kubota M7004 focused on serviceability by moving the locations of the radiator package and the fuel and AdBlue tanks, among other things. The latter also made it possible to make access to the cab easier with new steps. The processor of the K-Monitor display was even more powerful and the parking brake was integrated into the reverse gear. Kubota Connect telematics services and automatic steering had also entered a new development phase.

The M7004 still had Kubota's 6.1-liter four-cylinder engine with an output of 130…175 hp. The transmission was available with 30+15 powershift or continuously variable KVT. All models now had a 110 l/min closed hydraulic pump. The standard hydraulic valves were 3 mechanical in the basic model and 4 electric in the Premium and KVT models. The lifting capacity was 9400 kg. The noise level in the cab was 72 dB.

Kubota M7-134 - M7-174

The Kubotan French M7100 series underwent its first model change already at the age of two. The engines were still 6.1-liter 4-cylinder units, but now the maximum power was reached already at 1900 rpm. Fuel consumption was said to be significantly lower than before. The transmission was still produced by ZF, but now featured the new Terramatic TPT16 with a 6-speed quick shift. 50 km/h was reached at 1950 rpm. The continuously variable K-VT transmission was still available as an option. The cabin had new interior materials, which were said to be more durable. The cabin sealing was improved, the exhaust pipe was slimmer than before, the seat was new, and the work lights were LED. The Premium model’s 12″ K-Monitor had new functions, including a 20-position headland automation.

The Premium and K-VT models came standard with a 110 l/min closed hydraulic pump and four electric valves, while the basic model had an 80 l/min open system and three mechanical valves. The lifting capacity was 9400 kg. Differential lock automation was standard.

For the year 2020, the model designation was changed to the M7103 series. The engines complied with Stage V emissions standards, but performance figures remained unchanged. The service interval for the particulate filter was extended to 6000 hours. New features included Xpress Restart, i.e., stopping and starting using only the brake pedal; steer ratio adjustable from the cabin; and Swap Valve, which allows changing the functions of hydraulic valves via the monitor. The cabin’s ventilation was enhanced by 25%.

At the beginning of 2020, the Kubota M6002 series was unveiled at the FIMA exhibition. It was positioned above the GX series in terms of equipment and technology on the European market and replaced the M6121, which was sold only in a few countries. Kubota emphasized that the M6002 was completely redesigned, although there were some similarities—for example, the wheelbase and the 8-speed quick shift. The engines were 6.1-liter four-cylinder units with power outputs ranging from 123 to 143 hp. An additional 20 hp was available at road speeds. The particulate filter cleaning interval was promised to be 6000 hours. The transmission featured gear automation, and thanks to the stop-go function, the tractor could now be driven entirely without a clutch pedal. A speed of 40 km/h was reached at 1640 rpm, but a 50 km/h version was not available. The closed hydraulic system delivered 115 l/min, and the lifting capacity was 7 tons.

The cab was new and more spacious than before. Standard features included 10 LED work lights, mechanical cab suspension, 100% locks, and a front wheel speed-up function for turns over 35 degrees. A 7″ ISOBUS monitor and automatic steering were available as optional extras.

The first models of the M60 series, further developed from the M40 series, the M8560 and M9960, were introduced in the summer of 2012, and the smaller M6060 and M7060 followed the next year. This was primarily an emissions update: the engines now featured, in addition to four-valve technology, common-rail injection, an oxidation catalyst, a particulate filter, and exhaust gas recirculation. In Europe, the transmissions now had up to 18+18 gears (36+36 with a creeper gear). A speed of 40 km/h was reached at 20% lower rpm than before. The right-side controls in the cabin were updated. Air conditioning and an air-suspended seat were standard equipment. The M6060 and M7060 were the first M-series Kubotas imported to Finland.

After Kubota acquired Ebro, it began developing a larger-scale range in the late 1980s, which was launched on the market under the name Kubota K1. As with the last Ebros, the engine was a 6.0-litre Nissan built in Spain. There were three models; the smallest, at 125 horsepower, did not have a turbo. The gearbox offered six main gears and a 3-range splitter plus reverse. With the quick-shift option it had 36 forward and 12 reverse speeds, and with crawler gears 60 forward and 24 reverse. The hydraulics were beefed up: combined output was 140 l/min and lift capacity 7 tonnes. The front axle was made by Carraro and featured Kubota’s Bi-Speed system, which increases the front-axle rotation speed when the wheels are turned more than 35 degrees. The cab was based on Kubota’s Japanese designs. Noise level was 76 dB.

The K1 was developed quickly and had several problems at the start. Kubota’s faith in Spanish tractor production ended in 1994, and the factory was closed.

Here’s the translation to English:

The Kubota M6 series, introduced in 2015, was intended mainly for markets outside Europe. In Europe, the GX series was sold, which was almost identical in terms of technology. However, M6 models were sold at least in Eastern Europe. In 2018, the M6121 was introduced, which was sold in several Western European markets. It had a different transmission equipped with a 6-speed powershift and a top speed of 50 km/h.

Of the original M6 models, the two smallest were equipped with a 3.8-liter and the larger ones with a 6.1-liter Stage 4 four-cylinder engine. The transmission was an Intelli-Shift, featuring an 8-step powershift, powershift automation, and a hydraulic reverser. As with the GX models, a front wheel acceleration function was standard for turns greater than 35 degrees. The lifting capacity was 5.7 or 7.5 tons. Front axle suspension was available as an option.

Kubota M6-101 – M6-141

In the summer of 2018, the fourth development version of the Kubota GX was introduced. The appearance was modified to match the M7002 series. The transmission was equipped with an 8-speed quick shift and gear automation. Standard equipment included, among other things, engine speed memories, air conditioning, an air-suspended seat, a trip computer, and a front-wheel speed-up function during turns over 35 degrees. Additionally, the four-wheel drive could now automatically disengage when the wheels were turned sufficiently. An ISOBUS display and front axle suspension were available as optional extras. The front three-point hitch was integrated into the tractor’s frame.

Kesko started importing Kubota property tractors in the autumn of 1977. For us, the most significant model for a long time was the 25-horsepower L245, which was imported as a four-wheel-drive model (DT). The engine was a 3-cylinder, 1.1-liter water-cooled direct-injection diesel. There were 8 forward and 2 reverse gears. The power take-off had 3 speed ranges. Equipment included, among other things, a differential lock, a category 1 three-point hitch with draft sensing, and a Finnish safety cab.

Kubota's product range was divided into three series: at the lower end was the B-series (from which 16-horsepower B7100s were imported to Finland in the early 1980s), in the middle the L-series, and the largest was the M-series. The renewal of the L-series began in 1973 with the L175 model (17 hp). The series had a total of 12 models ending with the 40-horsepower L405. The engines were 2-, 3-, and 4-cylinder. In Europe, the most common models are the L245 and L345. At the same time, in Asia and partly also in the USA, L-series models with 4-digit model numbers were sold, which do not have significant differences from the 3-digit ones. Japanese models have also made their way to Europe as used tractors.

Kubota L175-L345

Kubota’s first proper agricultural tractor was the M4000 introduced in 1976, which was partly licensed from Fiat. The main market area was the USA. The engine was Kubota’s own 2.2-liter 6-cylinder. The transmission was partially synchronized and had 8+2 gears, with creep gears bringing it to 16+4. The brakes were oil-immersed discs. The power take-off (PTO) was independent, and besides the speeds of 540/1000 rpm, there was also a driven PTO. The front axle was Kubota’s own.

In 1978, the slightly more powerful M4500 was introduced alongside it, which was also available as a low-profile fruit-growing version and as a four-wheel-drive model. The 1979 M5500 featured a 3-cylinder 3.0-liter engine, similar in size to a conventional tractor engine. It had 63 hp. New was also a front axle differential lock. The most powerful model in the series in the USA was the 81-horsepower M7500. The last representative of this series was the M4050, successor to the M4000.

Kubota M4000-M7500

At the beginning of 1983, the Kubota M50 series was introduced, which was new both technically and in terms of design. The smallest model, the M4950, still had a 2.8-liter 6-cylinder engine, but the others had conventional 3- and 4-cylinder engines. The transmission was fully synchronized with 12+4 gears. The technology included, among other things, a front axle lock, hydrostatic steering, an adjustable steering wheel, and an oil-sprung seat. Starting from the M6950, power steering feedback was included. Kubota used low-profile but wide tires. Versions equipped with a roll-over protective structure and a cab were available for all models.

In 1984, the model range was complemented by the turbocharged M8950. It also featured a hydraulic quick-shift.

The Kubota L-series introduced in 1984-1985 included about a dozen models starting from the 25-horsepower L2050, but only some of these were sold in Europe. In Finland, only the 29.5-horsepower 3-cylinder L2550 was available. In Central Europe, the most common model was the 4-cylinder L2850. Compared to previous models, the lineup featured more powerful engines relative to their external dimensions. Most models had an 8+7 gearbox with a mechanical shuttle shift, where the 3rd and 4th gears of the main range and the range shift were synchronized. The 5-cylinder L3750 and L4150 differed from the smaller models in many ways, with their most significant difference being the hydraulic shuttle on the 4150.

Kubota L2050-L4150

The Kubotan M30 series was positioned between the L series and the M50 series. It was a simple basic tractor with characteristics similar to an agricultural tractor, and it did not include a cab as standard equipment. The engine was a 6-cylinder in the two smallest models, a 3-cylinder in the middle model, and a 4-cylinder in the two largest models. The transmission was 16+4, with the 4 lowest gears being crawling gears. In the two largest models, the transmission was fully synchronized. Hydraulic blocks were standard in quantities of 1-2. The power take-off was independent, with standard speeds of 540 and 1000 rpm. The front axle had an automatic differential lock, and in the two largest models, the front axle power transmission was via a shaft located in the center. The pedals extended through the floor.

Kubota M4030-M8030

Kubota’s broader push into the European agricultural market began in 1991 with the introduction of the M80 series, whose power range was between 81 and 104 hp. The engines had a longer stroke than those in the preceding models. The transmission was fully synchronized, with 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds, plus a two-speed power shuttle. Hydraulic output and lifting capacity were significantly higher than in earlier Kubota tractors. Draft control feedback was managed via the draft arms.

The cab’s noise level was rated at 76 dB. Air conditioning was standard in Germany but not in Scandinavia. Four-wheel drive was engaged electrically. Differential locks on both the front and rear axles were engaged mechanically. When the front wheels were turned more than 35 degrees, they rotated faster than the rear wheels to ease steering.

Kubota M7580-M9580

Models introduced in 1994, the L2900-L4200, were known as the Grand L series. The L2350 was a simpler model offered at the same time. The Grand L models featured a fully synchronized 8+8 transmission with a mechanical direction reverser (with creep gears, 16+16). In the GST models, all gears could be selected without using the clutch, and the direction reverser was hydraulic. The later introduced HST models had a 3-range hydrostatic transmission, whose downside was power loss. The standard models had a significantly larger clutch diameter than previous models, for example, 260 mm in the L3600 compared to 225 mm in earlier models. The steering was now hydrostatic, and the PTO speeds were reduced to 540 rpm. The noise level of the factory-installed cab was 81 dB. The turning angle of the front wheels was increased to 55 degrees.

Outside Europe, from 1998 onwards, models L3010/3410/3710/4310 were sold, which mainly differed from the L2900/3300/3600/4200 by small design details and a new cab equipped with full glass doors.

Kubota L2350-L4200

The Kubota M-series basic tractors were updated between 1995 and 1997. New features in this series included suspended pedals and hydraulic PTO engagement. The smaller models had new 5-cylinder engines. The larger ones had 4-cylinder engines. The two smallest models were equipped with roll bars. The larger models also had cab versions. There are significant differences in the technical specifications between the ROPS and CAB versions – for example, the wheelbase is longer in the cab version. The information provided here pertains to the cab version.

Kubota M4700-M9000

The Grand L models were updated to the 30 series in 2003. Each of the five models had a different engine displacement. Lifting capacity was increased, and in the power take-off there was, in addition to 540 rpm, a 750 rpm option. The gearbox had 16 forward and 16 reverse gears, half of which were creeper gears. The L4630 was available in a GST version, where all gears could be shifted without using the clutch. The L5030 offered a hydrostatic (HST) version, which included a cruise control. The cab’s noise level was specified at 84 dB. The two smallest models were marketed with a rollover protection frame.

Kubota L3130-L5030

Based on the basic Kubota M-series tractors, slightly more advanced “ME” versions were introduced in 2003 for markets that wanted them, such as Europe. The road speed was raised to 40 km/h. The main gearbox had six gears, so the two larger models offered 18 forward + 18 reverse speeds across three ranges, without creeper gears. These machines were still largely mechanically operated and competed in the €30,000 price bracket, for example against New Holland’s Turkish-built TD series. In addition to the standard models, the lineup also included narrow versions for purposes such as market gardening.

Kubota ME5700-ME9000

In 1998, Kubota introduced larger models M110 and M120 to the international markets. In Europe, the first models from this series were the M105S and M125X, introduced in 2004, which featured, among other things, a wider cab than previous models. The wheelbase and hydraulics of the four-cylinder models were the same as in the earlier M80 series. The basic transmission in the four-cylinder models was 16+16. In Europe, a hydraulic quick shift was standard. The range shift was electric. The five-cylinder models had an 8-speed quick shift, quick shift automation, and a total of 16+16 gears and 24+24 with creep gears. The speed of the front wheels was increased with steering angles over 35 degrees to enhance turning performance. The cab had molded plastic panels designed similarly to European tractors, but the cab itself and the lack of a power lift were still Kubota’s weaknesses in the competition.

In 2007, the M108S and M128X models equipped with common rail engines were introduced. Their emission technology also included exhaust gas recirculation. The engine of the M128X was a 6.1-liter 4-cylinder.

Kubota M105S – M130X

Kubota Standard L series tractors were initially known in Europe by two models – the L3200 and L4100. In many respects, they were simpler than other L-series models sold at the same time. The transmission was 8+4 without a reverser. The steering was power-assisted. The lifting capacity was only 900 kg.

In 2011, the range expanded with models L3800 and L4600, and at the same time, HST versions equipped with hydrostatic transmission were introduced alongside them. Compared to the L3200, the L3800 had only a more powerful engine. The L4600 was technically very close to the earlier L4200 model. It had a reverser, hydrostatic steering, and a longer wheelbase. These models were primarily marketed with a rollover protective structure (ROPS).

Kubota L3200-L4600

The 2007 Grand L40 series included five models in Europe (internationally, the models L3240, L3940, and L4740 were also known). The four-cylinder engines featured electronic engine management. The three largest models had 2.4-liter turbocharged engines, and the two largest also had exhaust gas recirculation. The two largest models also came standard with power-assisted hydrostatic transmission HST Plus, which was said to be entirely new. The system included a separate foot-operated clutch, a quick shift, and several automatic functions such as throttle adjustment based on the position of the foot pedal, stall prevention, and a gear automation that downshifts the quick shift as the load increases. In Germany, all cab-equipped models came standard with air conditioning and an air-suspended seat. The cab was redesigned in 2013.

Kubota L3240-L5740

The technology of the ME versions was extensively utilized in the M40 series models introduced in spring 2009. However, the round design, curved-glass cabin, and long-stroke 4-cylinder four-valve engines were new. The M6040 and M7040 had 5 basic gears, that is, a total of 15+15 gears, while the larger ones had 6 basic gears, i.e., 18+18. The reversing gearbox was hydraulic. The larger models could be equipped with an optional hydraulic quick shift, resulting in 36+36 gears. The front axle now had an automatic limited-slip differential. The lifting capacity was significantly increased to 4.1 tons in the larger models. Power take-off was engaged electro-hydraulically. The lifting device was always mechanical. Alongside the standard models, there were both low and narrow special versions that remained in production longer than the standard models.

Introduced in 2012, the GX series was perhaps the first Kubota model range to stand out for its stylishness. The 4-cylinder engines had 3.8 and 6.1 liters of displacement, as in previous models. To meet IIIB requirements, they were now equipped with an oxidation catalyst and a particulate filter. The transmission now had three ranges instead of two, providing 24+24 gears, and with creeper gears, 32+32. The powershift had 8 steps and was equipped with two automatic programs. Lifting power and hydraulic output were increased, and the lifting device was finally electrically operated. For the first time, the M128GX/M135GX could be equipped with front axle suspension. The stated turning circle diameters without steering brakes were very small — this was aided by the standard front wheel speed increase function when turning. The engine, transmission, and hydraulics now communicated with each other via the CAN bus.

In 2014, the designation II was added to the model name with very few changes: the external hydraulic valves now featured flow adjustment, a passenger seat became standard, and front suspension was standard on the M135GX and, in some countries, also the M128GX.

Kubota M100GX – M135GX-II

The Kubota MK5000 replaced the L4100 model in the European lineup at the beginning of 2015. The engine was now turbocharged, the wheels were higher than those of the L-series, and the road speed was increased to 30 km/h. The transmission was 8+8, with the 3rd and 4th gears of the main transmission and the shuttle synchronized. The shuttle lever was positioned to the left side next to the seat. There was no differential lock on the front axle. The rollover protective frame could be mounted either behind or in front of the cab. The pedals were pressed through the floor.

Kubota MK5000

Kubota started from a clean slate to design an agricultural tractor for the European market and built a factory in northern France to manufacture it. The planned annual output was 3,000 units, so for Kubota—already producing 180,000 machines a year—this project was more about gaining experience in tougher markets. They did not develop the tractor entirely on their own: the powertrain, hydraulics, and rear axle were sourced from ZF, and the front axle was made by Dana in Italy. The cab’s striking terminal came from subsidiary Kverneland, while engines and cab shells were imported from Japan.

The engines were the same 6.1-liter, four-cylinder units used in earlier models, featuring urea injection, four-valve technology, a particulate filter, and exhaust gas recirculation. The base transmission was a 24+24 gearbox with a creeper gear. The K-VT version used ZF’s stepless transmission. In both cases, 50 km/h was reached at 1,780 rpm. The hydraulic system could be specified either as an open circuit with an 80 L/min pump or as a load-sensing system with a 110 L/min pump. Lift capacity was 9 tonnes.

The standard version included cruise speed presets, a 4-speed PTO, creeper-gear automation, four-wheel-drive and differential-lock automatics, air conditioning, and an air-suspended seat. The Premium model added load-sensing hydraulics with four electric valves, a multi-function armrest, and a 7″ ISOBUS terminal. The third variant was the stepless Premium K-VT.

Available options included front-axle suspension, mechanical or pneumatic cab suspension, radar for the onboard computer, and automatic steering. The cab noise level was specified at 72 dB. The K7001 series was priced very precisely to match its main competitors.

Kubota M7131-M7171

The M5001 series that Kubota introduced in the autumn of 2016 was an upgrade over the earlier M8560 and M9960 models. The styling was more striking, and the engines now included all commonly used emission technologies, including urea injection. A powershift transmission became standard, giving it 36 + 36 gears. The three-point hitch was mechanical and provided a lifting capacity of 4,100 kg. The cab was redesigned, with a declared noise level of 78 dB, and air conditioning came as standard. 7" or 12" Isobus display and air suspension seat were options.

In 2021, the M5002 models were introduced, with Stage V emissions. The speed of 40 km/h was reached at 2095 rpm, while the rated power rpm was 2600.

In the autumn of 2016, the GX series was updated to the third development stage. There were now three 6.1-liter models instead of two. In addition to the previous technology, the engines also featured urea injection. The transmission was equipped with an 8-speed quick shift. The instrument cluster was renewed. Front axle suspension was now available on all models. New was the four-wheel drive automation, which disengaged the front drive at a speed of 20 km/h. An ISOBUS display was now available as an optional accessory. Standard equipment included, among other things, engine speed memory, quick shift automation, air conditioning, an air-suspended seat, an onboard computer, and a front wheel speed increase function during turns over 35 degrees. The cabin noise level was reported to have been reduced to 73 decibels.

Kubota M95GX-III – M135GX-III

The Kubota M4002 series replaced the previous models of the same power, the M6060 and M7060. The 3.3-liter engines were at least on paper unchanged. The engines featured four-valve technology, common rail injection, an oxidation catalyst, a particulate filter, and exhaust gas recirculation. There were 18+18 gears, and with the high-low gear, 36+36. The lifting capacity was increased to 2,500 kilograms. The cabin was larger than before. Standard equipment included an electronic directional shuttle, air conditioning, air-suspended seat, and a rev memory. Optional extras included an Isobus monitor and automatic steering. The reported weights had decreased by about 300 kg.

The M4003 models introduced in 2021 had Stage V engines. Urea was still not required. 40 km/h was reached in 1965 rpm.

Kubota M4062-M4072

In the spring of 2022, Kubota introduced the M6-001 Utility series to the European market, which was a lightly updated version of the previous M GX series and positioned as a more affordable alternative to the M6-002 series. Thanks to enhanced exhaust aftertreatment, the engines were now emission level V compliant 4-cylinder units. The short wheelbase models had a 3.8-liter engine, and the larger models had a 6.1-liter engine. The interval for cleaning the particulate filter was increased from 3,000 hours to 6,000/8,000 hours. The transmission was equipped with an 8-speed quick shift and gear automation. The cab was basically the same as in the M6-002 series. Standard equipment included, among other things, engine speed memories, air conditioning, air-suspended seat, trip computer, and a front wheel speed increase function when turning over 35 degrees. An ISOBUS display and front axle suspension were available as optional extras.
