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.
