Versatile enough in horsepower with options that accommodate most hobby farmers, the M60 Series is the ultimate chore tractor. This series offers three different models: the M5660, M6060 and M7060 that range from 57.9 to 71 horsepower.

With a standard 8F/8R hydraulic shuttle transmission and optional 12F/12R transmission for the M7060, these tractors deliver optimal power to complete the tasks at hand. All models come standard with bevel gear axles and have a turning angle of 55 degrees, tighter than many in their class.

The tractors in the M60 Series are designed for those who are raking hay, rotary cutting, scraping, moving bales and other utility operations. Those with larger operations can use this series as an essential addition when they need a smaller tractor to maneuver around barns, move hay and cut closer to trees and fence lines.

The M5 Series:

The M5 Series is designed for those who have a larger operation or who need more horsepower like smaller hay and cattle farmers. Compared to the M60 series, this series offers a larger and more deluxe cab. This cab is an Ultra Grand Cab II and offers increased comfort and space and is pressurized which allows for the operator to work in a more dust free environment. The M5 offers three different transmission options and numerous deluxe features which make this deluxe cab feel even more premium.

The M5 comes in 2 models: the M5-091 and the M5-111. These deluxe tractors include an extra wide cab, suspension seat and instructor seat. The high visibility roof panel is an extremely useful tool when operating a loader and stacking bales at its upmost height. These tractors have enough power to produce 4 x 6 bales and cut with a 15 foot mower.

With the option of up to 24F/24R gears, the operator has plenty of different speeds to choose from while alternating tasks. The electro-hydraulic shuttle allows the operator to shift between forward and reverse at the touch of the fingers without having to use the clutch pedal.

At an affordable price, the M5 Series offers great features like the 3-point hitch with high capacity, telescopic link-ends, telescopic stabilizers and floating lift rods.

The M6 Series:

M6 Series tractor line is a premium offering for those who are looking for a mid-range utility tractor. This tractor is designed for cattle farmers and ranchers and is packed full with premium features for those long work hours.

The M6 Series offers four models: M6-101, M6-111, M6-131 and M6-141 that range from 97 to 133 horsepower. The M6 tractors are equipped with the 24F/24R Kubota Electronic Management Systems which make switching gears as easy as the touch of a button. Setting Kubota apart from its competitors is our Bi-Speed Turning. This Kubota-exclusive engineered feature allows for the front wheels to spin faster than the rear wheels which give the operator a tighter turning radius and better maneuverability in confined spaces.

Compared to the M5, the M6 comes with an even bigger and more deluxe cab. The Grand X Cab is one of the largest in its class with over 65 inches of width which provides a more spacious feel. The ergonomic operator station allows the operator to complete chores with ease and less fatigue. All M6 Series tractors have standard air-ride seats that are designed to absorb shock and ensure better comfort for those long days. These tractors also are equipped with operating switches for controlling hydraulics and shifting that are conveniently located on the arm rest.

In addition to the M6 Series, the M6S is the economy based model in this pristine series. You get the power you need for operating on large parcels of land but at a more economical price.

The M6S-111 is built for the value-minded tractor customer. With over 114 horsepower, this tractor does not come up short on torque. The M6S has a Swing Shift transmission which allows the operator to easily maneuver between gears by simply bumping into the next range. For those who find themselves switching often between implements and/or rpm, the RPM Dual Memory Switch allows you to create two rpm settings and swiftly change between two at a touch of a button. The electro-hydraulic shuttle gives the operator the ability to swiftly and efficiently alternate between forward and reverse by simply moving a lever located on the steering column.
