Kubota marks M7 anniversary with a series of updates

LinkedIn +

Kubota has updated its M7 tractor series, marking ten years since the launch of its flagship range.

Updates in the M7004 range have been focused on operator convenience, with a newly positioned cooling pack at the front of the engine to provide easier access to key components to simplify maintenance.

The fuel and AdBlue tanks have also been repositioned, while new steps to the cabin have been fitted for easier access. A new parking brake has been integrated into the shuttle and the K-Monitor is equipped with a new processor to improve functionality.

The three models stay within the 130-175hp power bracket, powered by a 6.1-litre engine. The company decided not to offer a 200hp model, despite showcasing its V5009 four-cylinder engine previously.

Power is put through either a powershift gearbox or the KVT continuously variable transmission, with the latter gaining pre-set droop settings.

The launch coincides with Kubota’s 50th anniversary in the European market. To mark this, a series of anniversary M7004 machines will be produced, with an orange and black wrap.
