Working in a vineyard or orchard is often romanticized on TV and in the movies, but those who dedicate their lives to producing high-quality grapes and fruit crops know it takes hard, physical labour and the right tools. That’s why Kubota engineered the M4N (at only 48 inches wide) specifically for work in vineyards, orchards or anywhere else that might require a narrow tractor.
With an intelligently revamped operator station, improved hydraulic capacity and the reliable Kubota V-3800 engine, the M4N delivers on Kubota's proven versatility, dependability and strength while being compact and nimble enough to navigate tight turns with ease.
Here’s why the Kubota M4N-071 is the ideal narrow tractor for your vineyard or orchard.
Unmatched versatility
High productivity requires versatility, such as travelling at low or sustained speeds. This M4N’s transmission has 12F × 12R speed, with six speeds in two ranges. The shuttle shift is electric over hydraulic, making direction changes a breeze. Bi-speed turning is standard, as is overdrive, for improved travel speed and 540/540E PTO. The tractor also has wet disc hydraulic brakes and gear lock parking, with loader and front hitch options also available.
Bevel-gear and bi-speed turning
With the robust and sealed bevel gear front axle, all components subjected to stress are lubricated, reducing the number of greasing points. When Bi-Speed is engaged, the front tires will rotate faster than the rear tires, pulling the front of the tractor around to keep a surprisingly tight turning radius. With the ability to make quick turns between rows, you’ll cover more ground in less time.
New standards in operator comfort
To promote operator efficiency, all main controls are on the right-hand side of the operator while the steering wheel has 40 degrees of tilt, making it easier to get in and out of the suspension seat. Dual side mirrors and an easy access fuse box come standard. Thanks to the ergonomic position of the pedals, with lots of space for feet and legs and an obstacle-free floor, you can work in a comfortable position with low vibrations all day long.
Work cruise: Constant RPM management
Operated by simply pushing a button, the engine speed is kept nearly constant in response to load fluctuations. With efficient, stable operations in transport and PTO-driven implements, tractor output and fuel efficiency are improved.
Kubota tractors are renowned for their quality, innovation and durability. With the M4N-071, you get one that is specifically designed for work on vineyards and orchards, with outstanding features to help you get through the day with greater efficiency and productivity.
