The Headland Control System frees the operator to concentrate on maneuvering the tractor, and helps to ensure more precise turns.

Transmissions built for a multitude of work

Power needs the proper transmission to maximize its full potential. The Kubota M8 Series features a fully electronic controlled Semi-Powershift transmission system or the optional KVT transmission. This means the Kubota M8 Series can effectively work at the speed you need.

A full range of speeds for full-size results

SEMI-POWERSHIFT

Quickly reach the right speed for the job thanks to the speed matching feature. The fully electronic controlled Semi-Powershift Transmission comes with 30 forward and 15 reverse gears with speeds up to 40 km/h. There are 6 powershift gears per range, with two gear overlap, reducing the need to make range changes in working conditions. Upgrade to increase travel speed to 50 km/h with a suspended front axle.

KUBOTA VARIABLE TRANSMISSION (KVT)

Take advantage of a transmission system that provides infinite forward and reverse speeds. Programmed for seamless speed setting to perfectly match the ideal working range for the job.

SHUTTLE SHIFT

Enjoy smooth engagement when you change directions when moving forward or in reverse. The M8 comes standard with both a left-hand lever and right-hand multi-function handle control, for more shuttling flexibility.

ALL PURPOSE 4-SPEED PTO
