ENGINE DETAIL

The Kubota M5660SU features a turbocharged V2403-CR-TE4 diesel engine with a 2.4L displacement, delivering 57.9 hp at 2600 RPM, making it efficient for mid-range agricultural operations. Its compliance with Tier 4 emissions regulations and the inclusion of a diesel particulate filter (DPF) help reduce environmental impact, although DPF maintenance could be a challenge in certain agricultural settings. The common rail direct injection system offers improved fuel efficiency and torque responsiveness, providing notable advantages in both power delivery and operational economics.

TRANSMISSION

The Kubota M5660SU features a hydraulic shuttle transmission with 8 forward and reverse gears, allowing for precise control during tasks that require frequent direction changes, such as loading or tilling. The wet disc clutch enhances durability and smooth engagement, reducing wear over time but may require more hydraulic resources. This tractor is well-suited for both agricultural and industrial applications where versatility and reliability are crucial.

MECHANICAL

The Kubota M5660SU offers a versatile drivetrain with a choice between 2WD and 4WD, enhancing traction in varied terrain, while the mechanical rear differential lock improves performance in slippery conditions. Its hydrostatic power steering provides ease of maneuverability, ideal for tasks requiring precision. However, the 8-speed shuttle transmission may limit speed range compared to models with more gears, which could affect efficiency for certain applications.

KUBOTA M5660SU TIRES

The Kubota M5660SU tractor offers versatility with both 2WD and 4WD options, enabling operators to tailor traction based on terrain requirements. The larger front tires in the 4WD configuration (8.3-24) provide enhanced stability and flotation, which is beneficial in muddy or uneven conditions compared to the 2WD's 6.5-16 tires. However, 2WD may offer lower maintenance costs and reduced complexity, making it suitable for lighter agricultural tasks on flatter terrain.

2WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 6.5-16. Rear: 14.9-28
4WD Standard tires (ag) Front: 8.3-24. Rear: 14.9-28
