New Kubota M8 is Finally Here 

The reason is because it's a Buhler versatile

Canada, has gone to the COMMUNIST party!!!

@@n7hevn us in western Canada dont claim the excuse for a prime minister we have right now

Power!

I liked that lol

I'll do this

@@MessicksEquip d

Buy the quicke. Basically everyone is using them now

Yea idk how much they've improved them but I know that historically the Cummins just wasn't even anywhere near the same ballpark as the fiat motors that replaced them. It wasn't uncommon for 8.3s to blow up in the old case combines that were running them and now case is running the 6.7 nef motor in the baby combine as well as a lot of increasingly large tractors up to and including the magnums and optums and so far I've never seen any issues. So this just looks like a huge step down to me

My Cummins 6.7 is still running strong and it’s a first year engine, 2007. Mike Mitchel’s operation sold all their red tractors and combines due to engine and hydraulic failures. I don’t trust Fiat.

@@markam306 idk that's just been our experience and fiats make up pretty much 70% of our fleet now

Yea. steering valve is a factory option, bring your own display.

Did you watch the video? Far from exactly the same.

@@MessicksEquip Well I suppose it depends on what you call exactly and far from lol.

Yea these two are not comparable whatsoever

It gets hard to cool at full power combined with slow speeds.

@@paulnorman8274 once again, emissions related 🙄🙄🙄. At least the Cummins after treatment is pretty reliable

I mean guys run 6.7s up to 2000hp on nitrous.

Alright someone has to clear this confusion up right now. There is a difference between heavy duty and light duty. And first off any of those engines yall are talking about in a race setting are only making full power for maybe 10 seconds at a time or so, and they are getting torn down after at least every season if not every single night. And it's a similar story to pickups. For the most part a Cummins that makes 370hp in a dodge is only going to be at full load for maybe 1% of its total life if even that and most other times it's just cruising around. Now the reason why these are considered a heavy duty/severe duty application is because every second that this thing is on its running a massive hyd pump and fairly substantial electric load for all those computers and tractors spend quite a few hours at full load or near full load at high rpm applications with tons of dust and contamination going everywhere around them. So it's not an apples to apples comparison and people need to quit saying this

@@adamr9515 who would of thought. I mean my 12v was rated at 190 hp.

Depends what the issues were. Just because you have specs doesn't mean you properly follow them. How many people have issued putting stuff together because they don't read the instructions properly? Without more info, hard to say where fault lies, or even if it was just one of those unforeseeable things that sometimes pops up when going from design to mass production.

Farms, and contiguous plots, generally don't seem big enough in Japan to warrant it, from what I have seen. Since I doubt Kubota wants to develop without very close back-and-forth with actual users, getting real big stuff out of them would likely require an entire development, engineering and production organization in a market where demand for bigger machines is greater. As for priorities, there are billions of people in places where agriculture is just starting to get mechanized. I can't imagine the ultimately stagnant markets of Europe and the US being where Kubota sees its biggest growth opportunities. Also; the US, and Europe, already have plenty of great bigger machines. The smaller end is where Western brands seem to struggle with delivering the kind of value the Asians are able to.

It's a distribution center.

@@MessicksEquip It is a factory. I'm sure of that. Not a warehouse.

@@MessicksEquip The Orillia facility belongs to Kubota Materials, they do steel castings there.

Euro

And the electronics, controls, cab, etc.

Out of curiosity, how... custom.. to this machine are the engine, transmission, etc? If, for instance, the transmission is exactly the same as the one in 5 other models (and brands) of tractor, parts will be much more available and cheaper than if it is something the company makes specifically for Kubota(especially if they have contracts which prevent them from selling parts except through Kubota)

@@MessicksEquip I am pretty sure the cab is not made by them, my Kubota with cab, has a sticker of the manufacturer in France, not Kubota. The el. loom is made by a company in Holland according to the sticker.

@@spudgamer6049 Never the less. I bought my Kubota,p because it was “Japanese” and I had luck with it, the engine and most other parts was Japan made as well as the whole tractor was assembled in Japan…. I bought an Antonio Carraro 100hm last month, Yanmar engine, mostly because eI had issues with Kubota Europe, support, service and parts access.

@@tunintunin3417 I meant this specific tractor.

I'm in the U.S and we don't run air brakes on tractors and no one even has brakes on trailers unless it's a semi or a larger trailer for a pickup. Heck tractors rarely even pull trailers, about every farmer in the U.S owns a semi so there are no need to use a slow tractor. It's also rare to see a front 3-pt hitch or a front pto

That's a lot of the optional equipment we would usually order these things with. This is more of a feedlot configuration which tends to be a lot more basic. It is very attractively priced like this.

@@MessicksEquip Yes sir, I do understand it and I didn't in any way mean to be disregardful. I just find it interesting that the first (?) video that comes and it looks like the "base model". Just think that you would have easier to tell/show/sell if you had a "top notch" machine with all the "goodies". Over here we have Agco Finland. When a new Valtra, Fendt or some other pice of equipment is released, and they make a video, it's packed with extra everything. I know that Kubota makes great tractors and looking at this one (regardless of the presentation that was GREAT 👍🏽) I thought "Yes, a nice tractor. Would do the job." When I watched the videos (Agco Suomi) about the Fendt 724 Gen 6 and the Valtra T235D it was "Oh mama, who's your daddy? Let me take you home!". And this is (I think) mostly depending on the difference in the picture. - Kubota: We go from here and add on stuff. - Fendt/Valtra: All of this could be yours, can you take/handle/pay it? I am sure you know what is best for the market depending on location, just wanted to give a different perspective. Somehow I managed to make it sound like disrespect and for that I am sorry 🥺.

@@ImaginaryMachines But don't you put snowblowers, plows and mowers in the front? We put one cutter in the front abd two in the back. Fastening a plow in the front using 3-point hitch and third and fourth hydraulics makes it nice ddaling with snow. Snowblower needs hitch, hydraulics and PTO. My small Kubota B7100 has hydraulics and PTO in the front. I run a saw/splitter (circular saw and splitting "cone", not a processor) with the PTO and the hydraulics lifts and turns the blade in the winter.

The quick hitch is the only one I'm kinda surprised at, I dont know what you mean by hydralic push bar. In North America very few people use front 3pt/PTO, the one exception would be people looking to run large triple mowers, but those themselves are pretty uncommon. Air brakes on tractors are nonexistent as everyone uses a big truck for hauling needs. 3pt controls on the rear fender are pretty common now, but I cant see what you would use a PTO control for. Tractors in NA are specced very differently than European tractors, mainly because we dont have tight road restrictions so it's easier to pull a wide trailed mower rather than have 3 smaller mowers.

Lifting capacity: Yes.

Around 5k lbs

About one M series...........

Not currently available

@@MessicksEquip is kubota not building them yet?

I have units on order for over a year that are not shipping.

@@MessicksEquip well that’s disappointing how much should I expect to pay for one once they start shipping?

250ish

More than I can afford

@@jthomp997 or pay to fix.

No

Same platform. Used in lots of ag applications.

@@Jaxon-iu6vb makes sense, the old 5.9 was nearly as ubiquitous in its life cycle as the Detroit 2 strokes were in theirs. It will be interesting to see the power-adders from the pick-ups slapped on an 8 series....1200 hp and 2500ftlbs? Zoom zoom!

I highly doubt any of these will be tuned over 300. It just wont hold up at crazy hp.

@@Jaxon-iu6vb true... but we all know there are some folks out there who do silly stuff just because they can, even knowing it will break stuff.... maybe even BECAUSE it will break stuff.

The Cummins 5.9 was originally developed for Case to power small to mid sized construction equipment. Dodge made a deal and put it in their pickup trucks, the rest is history. The 6.7 Cummins is an upsized 5.9 to compensate for stricter emission controls without sacrificing power. Ag tractors have very expensive transmissions and final drives. All components in the drive train are matched, along with the size and weight of the tractor. Farmers need reliable horsepower and you don’t hear of many ‘turning up’ the engines. The 6.7 Cummins can be hot rodded to 4 digit horsepower numbers for short runs at the drag strip. 400 hp in a pickup towing 10,000 to 20,000 is common, but this power is intermittent for hill climbing. These folks closely monitor exhaust gas temps and have upgraded torque converters and built transmissions. Farmer’s needs are completely different. They will pull an implement all day at 90% + power levels. They need to get several thousand hours of life from their expensive equipment. 200 horsepower from a 6.7 liter diesel engine is about right for long term full power use. The 12 liter engines in tractors are set to 400-450 horsepower. Above that the 15 liter Cummins will supply 500-600 hp in a tractor or semi truck. Ag equipment that has engines turned up past these ratings have reliability problems (example current Case IH using the Fiat engines, and John Deere 13.5 liter engines turned up over 500 hp. These power ratings are not only for longevity and reliability, but also for fuel usage. Fuel usage is a major cost for the farm.

That is the case. It's axles are larger than most in its class.

Pretty much a badge engineering job

Sorry for your loss

way, way under.

Search the channel. I ran a disc with it about 2 years ago.

Will do

Assembly of final product from standardized parts is pretty common practice in this business. Even big companies like CNH, Deere, etc do the same. Deere.for example uses ZF for a lot of their transmissions. Some of this should actually help parts availability because you have a large machine population to support the sales over decades, rather than there being only a couple thousand of something floating around and making parts not economical to produce.

@@MessicksEquip Fair point, I hope this is the case. You're in this world every day so you have a pretty good idea of the inner workings. If you think it's going to work out I assume you're correct. I did some quick searching and learned this Canadian company is actually very large and reputable, but I must admit this was the first I'd heard of it.

all but this one.

He said Kubota might replace with their OEM engine in future.

How much is m8 kubota also other one
