Why is it that Kubota only offers factory cabs on their tractors below the M series, with hydrostatic drives only? I’d love to have a factory cab on a Kubota with glide shift, or even a gear trans and mechanical shuttle. It seems like Kioti is now offering optional field cab options on a lot...

Thank you very much!

Thanks Pat. I figured as much. Seems like an M5140 might be a better option for me anyway. Those have a hydraulic shuttle shift, and while I don't mind clutching to reverse directions, I feel like the extra weight and power of a M5140 might be worth considering alone.

Looking specifically at the MX5100. Kubota brochures I found state it having a mechanical shuttle. In my experience, a gear transmission is more efficient at putting the power to the ground.

Thanks for the info guys. So in the case of Kubota's mechanical shuttle shift, such as that found on the MX series tractors, how does that one work? I really don't mind clutching to change directions. I'm used to it. Hydrostatic drives have their place, but I feel like they rob a lot of...

Hi guys, just a couple quick technical questions about the Kubota L4600. On the gear drive tractors, I know they are equipped with what Kubota calls a shuttle shift. The shuttle shifts I am familiar with do not require use of the clutch pedal when switching directions. Is this true of...
