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.

It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
