In Reply to: Kubota M8 Series posted by Dean on April 14, 2018 at 13:13:38:
Good to hear it's going to be a 6 cylinder. One thing Kubota engines really seem to lack is any real torque. All the Nebraska tests confirm this, so an outsourced engine wouldn't be a bad thing. Hopefully it's something like a MAN or Sisu engine. The unfortunate thing about this new M8, is that it will presumably compete against large Puma's and small Magnums and comparable Massey's and Deere's. I they use the cab that they have on the M7, which they likely will, it's not much competition for what's on the Puma, and especially what's on the Magnum, Deere 7R and 8R. A new Magnum is 66.8 dB in the cab. A new Deere 8R is 70.1 dB, and the Kubota is 75.7. That's a substantial difference. In THIS area, i think Kubota has had trouble moving the M7 tractors, so if they want to sell into an even more luxury market, they're really going to have to step their game up, or offer it cheap enough and reliable enough that they can get guys to bite.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
