2006 Kubota M-Series, Heavy Duty Features

Hydraulics
The hydraulics on the M-Series are state-of-the-art. External hydraulic cylinders improve the lifting power and offer easier maintenance. The M-Series offers a large pump capacity of 17 gpm (M8540/M9540). As a result, the front loader cycle times are short, increasing productivity and facilitating operation. One hydraulic remote valve is standard, with the option to add up to 2 more, plus an optional flow control valve to control the oil flow volume.

3-Point Hitch
The Category I & II (M5040/M6040/M7040) and Category II (M8540/M9540) 3-point hitches provide fast and simple attachment of rear-mounted implements. On the M5040, M6040 and M7040 the capacity is 3307lbs and on the M8540 and M9540 it is 4630lbs, with an option of 7055 lbs.

KUBOTA DEPENDABILITY

Bevel-Gear Front Axle
The bevel-gear front axle provides the M-Series with greater all-around maneuverability. It enables M-Series tractors a tighter turning radius than ever before, an amazing 55 degrees. This makes easy work of jobs in tight spaces. The front-axle oscillating angle is also 20% greater offering increased stability on uneven terrain. Limited Slip Differential on the front (M7040/M8540/M9540) and Differential Lock on the rear are standard features, offering increased stability and traction on challenging ground conditions.

Floating Lift Rods
The floating lift rods are standard on M8540 and M9540, giving the M-Series tractors a smoother ride and enhanced traction while using the 3-point hitch, especially on uneven terrain.

Hydraulic Independent PTO
Pulling, lifting, cutting or baling; the standard 540 rpm hydraulic independent PTO (1000 rpm is optional on M8540/M9540) of the Kubota M-Series tractors makes your toughest work easier. Self-modulation engagement with a light touch means implements like a rear cutter engage smoothly. The PTO brake engages when the clutch is shut off and securely holds the PTO shaft. The PTO clutch can be hydraulically engaged and disengaged on the go. This means mowing, operating hay equipment or spraying orchards are all made more efficient.

Telescopic Lower Link Ends
The telescopic lower link ends, standard on all M-Series models, further facilitate implement attachment.

High Capacity Option
Large diameter cylinders boost lifting power by as much as 50% - perfect for large implements and larger farm uses. They are optional on the M8540 and M9540 models.
