MECHANICAL
The Kubota M4000 features a 4x2 2WD chassis, which provides excellent traction for lighter agricultural tasks but may struggle in muddy or uneven terrain compared to 4WD models. Its power steering enhances maneuverability, making it user-friendly in confined spaces. The 16-speed synchronized transmission allows for precise speed adjustments, ideal for diverse applications but requires operator familiarity for optimal efficiency.

KUBOTA M4000 TIRES
The Kubota M4000 tractor features a front tire size of 6.00-16 and a rear tire size of 13.6-28, which provide a robust footprint for improved traction and stability in agricultural applications. This tire configuration is advantageous for maneuvering in tight spaces while maintaining good weight distribution for heavy-duty tasks. However, challenges may arise in extremely muddy or uneven terrains due to the relatively narrow front tires, potentially compromising steering control under such conditions.
