Kubota has introduced an updated version of a popular tractor series.

Starting in February 2019, Canadian farmers can purchase tractors from the manufacturer’s M7-2 line of tractors, which build off the success of its M7-1 series.

As with the original series, the M7-2 tractors come in 130, 150 and 170 hp engine configurations, but the tractors also have some features that are unique to the new line.

“We have a new grade that we are excited to announce called the Deluxe,” Kyle Dabrowski, an agricultural product specialist with Kubota Canada, told Farms.com. “The difference from the Standard model is that the Deluxe has the same 29 (gallons per minute/110 litres per minute) hydraulic system as our Premium models.

“This gives operators the ability to run implements that require high flow. The Deluxe is the best of both worlds and we expect it to be very popular for livestock producers.”

Kubota has also made improvements to the transmissions.

Tractors in the M7-2 series have an enhanced auto-shift feature that can automatically evaluate the engine load and switch to the appropriate gear.

“The transmission will automatically shift through the powershift speeds and ranges as the operator accelerates or decelerates the tractor,” Dabrowski said. “With improved speed matching, the tractor advances immediately to the next range, allowing the operator to quickly reach the appropriate travel speeds.”

The new tractors feature greater operator comfort upgrades.

The new pressurized cab provides an almost unimpeded view, and Kubota has redesigned the heating and air conditioning system to allow for 25 per cent more air flow. The manufacturer has also fitted the seat with more cushioning for comfortable operation.

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
