M7-151 Standard, Premium, Premium KVT

Equipped with Kubota ' s biggest features and greatest performance, this 148 HP machine with powerful transmission is ready to get to work on your land.

K ubota’ s customizable Headland Management System makes headland turning easier and more responsive while an ISO-BUS monitor / controller and GPS / auto guidance system contribute to greater working precision. Plus, an ergonomic workstation engineered with instantly accessible levers and information centers make for a comfortable days work from the M7 ' s wide cabin with virtually unobstructed views. Kubota V6108

The V6108 engine boasts the latest in clean-engine technology. The CRS( Common Rail System) electronically controls the timing and amount of high- pressure injected fuel in stages for optimal combustion, which results in greater efficiency, better fuel economy, and less engine noise. The SCR( Selective Catalyst Reduction) precisely injects DEF( Diesel Exhaust Fluid) into the engine ' s exhaust system, which transforms the exhaust gases into harmless water vapor and nitrogen. The combination of these
two systems with a DPF muffler and an EGR( Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system ensures that the M7 not only meets the Tier4 Final emissions regulations, but dramatically exceeds them.
Power is the key to superior tractor performance, and the M7 has plenty of power to quickly and efficiently handle just about any task. But when PTO jobs, or transport, calls for more power, the M7’ s power boost is activated, delivering more power to get you through the tough jobs and complete your task.
Time spent at the fuel pump is time you ' re not working on the job. To let you work longer between refueling stops, all M7 models are equipped with large tanks for fuel( 87 gal.) and DEF( 10 gal.). 24
Speed Powershift( Standard, Premium)
The M7 features Kubota ' s dependable, and automatic Powershift transmission that provides 24 forward and 24 reverse speeds across 6 speed ranges, that can be shifted without clutching. With so many speeds to choose from, it ' s easy to find the right speed.
The KVT( Kubota Variable Transmission) features a continuously variable transmission that offers an infinite number of forward and reverse speeds. This enables the M7 Premium KVT to operate at maximum efficiency at precisely the desired speed for the application.
Some jobs can ' t be done properly at typical working speeds. That ' s why the M7 gives you 16 forward and 16 reverse creep speeds to let you do those jobs at extremely slow working speeds.
In addition to standard 40kph traveling speed( 25mph), 50kph( 31mph) is also available on both KVT and Powershift transmissions. Kubota Headland Control( Premium, Premium KVT)
The M7 Headland Management
System, Kubota Headland Control, works with ISO-BUS compatible implements to provide customizable programs of fully automated operations. For example, when the end of a row is reached, the operator can simply press a button to start a sequence of operations to automatically stop the implement, lift it, and lower it at the completion of the turn. The Headland Management System frees the operator to concentrate on maneuvering and helps ensure more precise turns and greater work efficiency. Different programs are available for different tasks, and each can be customized and retained in memory to suit special needs.
