The Kubota M6040 is a more powerful model but similar to the Kubota M5140 and Kubota M5640SU tractors, but not as powerful as the Kubota M7040. There are many different combinations of the M6040 that you can buy. There are 2 main options that you have when you are buying it. The first is whether you get it with a 2WD chassis or a 4WD chassis. The other is deciding whether to buy it with a cab or just an open operator station (both come with a ROPS). Obviously, if you live in an area that gets very cold weather, it’s worth spending a little more money to get the model with the cab.
The engine that drives the Kubota M6040 tractor is an E-CDIS diesel. This engine has a displacement of 3, 331 liters and uses direct injection to help starting in cold weather. The maximum power of the engine is 63. 5 hp and the engine runs at 2600 rpm. If you decide to buy the M 6040 with a cab, you’ll be happy to know that it comes with a larger fuel tank that can hold up to 90 liters of diesel. The model with open driving position has less capacity, only 70 liters. Both engines use a 12 volt battery and a key start system.
The Kubota M6040 transfers power from the engine to the wheels via a shift transmission. This gives the M6040 8 gears when moving forward and 8 when in reverse. With this model you can choose between a category 1 or category 2 3-point hitch. The hydraulic system that drives the 3-point hitch gives you a maximum lifting capacity of 1, 500 kg. The flow of the hydraulic system that actuates the 3-point hitch is 41. 6 l/min (11 US gallons per minute).
