The Kubota M7 tractors are the largest in the company’s portfolio and 10 years after the introduction of this flagship range, it has launched its latest update with the M7004 series.
It was the the introduction in 2014 of the first M7 series tractor, which signified a major leap for Kubota into a new segment, quickly establishing itself as a mainstay in the agricultural sector, although with only a four-cylinder engine available, the power is still limited to less than 200hp.
The M7004 models are the latest evolution, featuring key updates designed to improve the overall experience for the operator, in conjunction with increasing functionality and performance.
Power is provided by a proven 6.1L, four-cylinder Kubota engine, which in this line up offers 130-175hp with the three models, offering maximum boosted power of 150, 170 and 175hp.
Continuing with the standard Kubota format, the M7004 machines offer a choice of two transmissions – powershift or Kubota Variable Transmission (KVT), with the latter gaining updated pre-set droop settings for customisable transmission sensitivity and optimum fuel efficiency.
M7004 eases operator life
Key updates are geared around operator convenience, with a newly repositioned cooling pack at the front of the engine, improving access to key components, while simplifying maintenance and reducing service times.
The daily life of the operator has been eased with repositioned fuel and Adblue tanks, along with cab steps that create easier access and egress from the tractor.
A new automatic assisted parking brake is integrated within the tractor shuttle in order to stop and park safely.
In addition, the K-Monitor benefits from a new quad-core processor that delivers expanded functionality and faster processing speeds.
The launch of the new M7004 series also coincides with Kubota celebrating its 50th anniversary in Europe.
To mark the occasion, 50 anniversary edition M7004 tractors will be produced, each featuring a striking orange and black wrap.
The M7004 comes with an extended warranty of up to five-years or 5,000-hours, plus Kubota Connect – the latest version of its telematics, which enables users to remotely access tractor location and key operating functions, to improve asset management.
