ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota M6950 features a robust V4300-2A diesel engine with a notable compression ratio of 17:1, ensuring efficient fuel combustion and torque output, ideally suited for agricultural operations. The 4-cylinder configuration provides a balance of power and efficiency, while the moderate displacement of 4.0L delivers reliable performance at a rated RPM of 2400. Challenges may arise with maintenance due to its single paper air cleaner, which requires regular servicing to prevent performance degradation under dusty conditions.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota M6950 tractor features a synchronized transmission system, facilitating smooth gear shifts across 12 forward and 4 reverse speeds, enhancing operational efficiency. With an oil capacity of 52.8 quarts, it ensures adequate lubrication for extended use, but the single dry plate clutch may require careful modulation to avoid wear under heavy load scenarios. This configuration is advantageous for a variety of farming applications, particularly in tasks requiring frequent speed adjustments, though it may limit overall torque delivery compared to dual-clutch systems.

KUBOTA M6950 TIRES
The Kubota M6950 tractor offers a robust configuration with standard agricultural tires, promoting versatility across both 2WD and 4WD options. The 2WD version, equipped with narrower front tires, may excel in fuel efficiency but can face traction limitations in wet conditions. Conversely, the 4WD configuration enhances stability and grip, making it suitable for heavier loads and varied terrains, though it may incur higher operational costs due to increased tire wear and maintenance.
