M8540NPK
Narrow Rear Tractor
Kubota’s power krawlers offer exceptional traction, greater manoeuvrability and increased stability with a modified narrow and low clearance design. Powered by a reliable Kubota 84HP, E-CDIS, 4-cylinder, turbo charged diesel engine. Equipped with clever features to reduce soil damage, including a larger rear footprint which creates less compaction and damage to the soil. Features greater stability than competitor models with longer effective wheelbase and lower centre of gravity.
