KUBOTA has announced its new M6002 series of tractors.
The first unit has been presented at FIMA 2020, the International Fair of Agricultural Machinery taking place in Zaragoza, Spain, from February 25-29.
This new tractor has been developed entirely by Kubota and it provides a strong solution to the needs of dairy livestock and mixed farms.
The new M6002 series will offer three models: M6122, M6132 and M6142. The technology in the new series addresses both the increasing focus on sustainability and the needs of modern farmers.
The series is equipped with a four cylinder 6108 Stage V engine which features the latest stage V Kubota technology boosting both efficiency and reliability. It offers three horse power levels with 121HP, 131HP and 141HP with an additional 20 HP power boost for transport operations.
This engine has an extended cleaning interval of the DPF from 3000 to 6000 hours to improve maintenance performance. Additionally, it comes with a big 230 litre fuel tank, useful for long working days.
The transmission is completely new. It features an eight speed powershift transmission with shifting progressive adjustment designed for high speed and heavy towing capacity. These powershift models include the new Xpress restart function that controls the master clutch directly via brake pedal activation. The driver can stop the tractor without using the clutch pedal.
Germán Martínez, VP Sales Tractor Business Unit at Kubota Holding Europe, said: “The new M6002 Series is a completely new concept built 100 per cent by Kubota.
"The M6002 addresses the majority of needs from dairy and mixed farms looking for power, efficiency, low cost of operation, manoeuvrability, ease of use and comfort combined with Kubota’s well-known reputation for durability and reliability.”
“With this new tractor, farmers will benefit from great features such as the Xpress restart function, efficient new eight-speed powershift transmission and the 4.5 meters turning radius with the patented Kubota Bi-speed system. We are very proud to welcome this new M6002 series into our portfolio for dairy, mixed arable farms and professional servicing companies.”
