ENGINE DETAIL
The Kubota M7172 features a powerful V6108-CR turbocharged diesel engine, providing 170hp at a low operational RPM of 1900, which enhances fuel efficiency and reduces noise. Its impressive torque of 524 lb-ft at 1500 RPM makes it adept for heavy-duty tasks like plowing and towing, while its Stage IV emissions compliance ensures environmental adherence. Challenges may include higher initial costs compared to non-compliant models and the need for enhanced maintenance associated with turbocharged systems.

KUBOTA M7172 ENGINE
The Kubota M7172 features a robust 6.1L 4-cylinder diesel engine, offering enhanced torque for heavy-duty applications, making it suitable for large-scale farming and land management. With an 87.2-gallon fuel tank, it supports extended operation periods, reducing downtime associated with refueling. However, the requirement for 10 gallons of diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) underscores the need for regular maintenance and monitoring of emissions compliance, particularly in environments with strict regulations.

TRANSMISSION
The Kubota M7172 features an infinitely variable transmission (IVT), allowing for seamless speed adjustment without the need for discrete gear changes, which enhances operational efficiency and ease of use. The infinite forward and reverse capabilities provide excellent maneuverability in tight spaces, making it ideal for various agricultural tasks. However, while IVT offers smooth performance, it may require more advanced maintenance due to its complexity compared to traditional gear systems.

KUBOTA M7172 TIRES
The Kubota M7172 tractor, equipped with 540/65R28 front and 650/65R38 rear standard agricultural tires, offers strong traction and stability on varied terrains, ideal for large-scale farming operations. The larger rear tires enhance load-bearing capacity and reduce soil compaction, promoting better crop yield. However, the tire size may limit maneuverability in tight spaces, making it less suitable for smaller fields or precision farming tasks.

DIMENSIONS & TIRES
The Kubota M7172 features a substantial wheelbase of 107.1 inches, providing enhanced stability and traction during field operations, beneficial for heavy-duty tasks. Weighing 13,889 lbs with larger rear tires (650/65R38), it excels in heavy pulling and maintaining ground contact. However, the significant weight may limit maneuverability in tighter spaces, thus optimal for larger agricultural settings rather than smaller farms.
