M7002 is the name of a tractor designed by Kubota to replace the M7001, making its debut in Hanover before the large audience of Agritechnica. Compared to the previous model, the M7002 comes with a 6-speed Powershift transmission (with a maximum speed of 50 kilometres per hour) powered by a smart engine, rugged in its performance but parsimonious in fuel consumption. On the other hand, the M7002 tractor, with its load tolerance increased to 11.5 tonnes, is definitely “hungry for power”. It is precisely to ensure all the traction required by the various applications that Kubota has expanded the range of tyres that can be used, with the possibility of employing the 600/60R28 for the front axle and the 710/60R38 for the rear. Another great “plus” of the new Kubota is represented by the technological content, starting from the main joystick, more precise and sensitive, and the HMS memory, now more powerful, to make the operator’s job even easier. There are new features also for the automatic steering system, allowing the driver to display in centimetres the distance on the set path and to store up to 20 HMS configurations. The designers of the Japanese company gave great attention to the user’s comfort. The M7002 tractor comes with anti-vibration suspensions and soundproofing systems that reduce the noise inside the cabin. The highlights also include the MSG95AL741 seat, designed to lighten the long working days, and with LED lights that significantly improve visibility on the work area. Upon request, the new Kubota tractor can be equipped with electric rear view mirrors and an internal lighting system.
