Kubota expands M series line

Kubota Tractor Corporation's (KTC) mid-sized diesel tractor line just became bigger and better with the introduction of the M95S and M105S with Swing Shift Plus transmission. These new M Series have more muscle with a turbo-charged diesel engine utilizing a four-valve Center Direct Injection System (E-CDIS) to produce a higher torque rise for greater pulling power.

The M105S comes with a waste gate controlled turbocharger and intercooler to maximize horsepower output. The M95S shares the same high output V3800 engine with waste gate controlled turbocharger. The M105S engine is rated at 105 net horsepower (hp) and a PTO output of 93 hp. The M95S has 95 net horsepower and a PTO output of 84 hp. Pulling a heavy load just became easier with this refined and crafted engine that delivers the highest level of reliability and power output.

The M95S and M105S come standard with a fully synchronized main and hydraulic shuttle transmission. The hydraulic shuttle shift can be easily accessed by a finger-operated, steering column-mounted lever, allowing the operator to shift smoothly from forward to reverse without using a clutch or stopping the tractor. With the highly reliable Swing Shift transmission operator has a choice of 16F/16R speeds. Swing Shift Plus with Dual Speed Changer is available on the M95S and M105S. This advanced technology allows the operator to choose between 32F/32R speeds, helping to increase productivity even more. There are cassette type creep speed options for 24F/24R or 48F/48R speeds.

The M95S and M105S rely on a multiple wet-disc hydraulic main clutch for long life. With this hydraulic system, operator fatigue is reduced thanks to the Hydraulic-Independent PTO.

Operator comfort and safety are always a high priority with Kubota. The M95S and M105S are equipped with a ROPS certified cab that comes standard with deluxe suspension seat and air conditioning. The cab comes standard with a pre-wired radio ready feature with antenna and speakers for AM/FM radio/cassette or CD, with seven channel weather band. Two cold weather models are also available with additional features like an 80 amp alternator, side and rear defoggers, rear wiper, and second remote valve.

The front-loader operation is controlled with a single-lever joystick. Self-leveling linkage maintains the bucket angle automatically. Attaching and detaching the front loader is extremely user friendly with the use of the boom stands and two mounting pins. The operator can quickly attach and detach a variety of skid steer-type attachments including the pallet fork, bale spear, and Kubota buckets.
