Kubota launches larger loader series

A new range of MX-sourced loaders are available to fit Kubota M4, M5, M6 and M7 models which span the 66-170hp division.

Three models of loader are available offering a range of specifications, lift capacity and tractor suitability. Badged LK U (utility-mechanical), LK M (mechanical) and LK H (hydraulic).

The LK U and LK M models offer a mechanical parallel lift and a headstock that uses automatic mechanical attachment locking, while LK H loaders benefit from a hydraulic parallel lift system.

All models have the option of Mach 2 coupling for loader and attachment hydraulic services, this enables the operator to connect the hydraulic and electrical connections as a single connector port.

Depending on the model, loader numbers closely reflect lift capacities, which extend from 1,180kg to 2,410kg. While maximum lift height at the pivot pint is from 3.5m to 4.15m.

Users can choose from three control systems to suit the loader model of their choice. This includes the cable-operated ProPilot joystick, a low-pressure servo-based FlexPilot joystick, and the electronic e-Pilot S control system.

Fitlock, a mechanical latching mechanism that secures the loader onto the tractor bracket’s, enables removing the loader from the tractor by a simple process.

An additional feature available for LK H range, is the Fastlock attachment connection and Speedlink third and fourth service connections, allowing the operator to swap attachments without having to leave the cab.

The LK loaders are available from 7,278 for the LK1500U model in loader-ready configuration, which includes a third service, tractor brackets and Pro Pilot joystick controls
