TRANSMISSION
The Kubota M7970 features a dry disc clutch, which provides reliable engagement and minimal slippage under normal operating conditions. This type of clutch can endure higher temperatures, offering advantages in heavy-duty applications but may require more frequent maintenance for wear compared to wet clutches. It's essential to manage the engagement properly to prevent premature wear when operating in demanding agricultural tasks.
MECHANICAL
The Kubota M7970 features a 4x4 MFWD drivetrain with a standard differential lock, providing superior traction in challenging terrains, making it ideal for diverse agricultural applications. Its hydrostatic power steering enhances maneuverability, especially in tight spaces, while the wet disc brake system ensures consistent stopping power and enhanced durability. The optional four-post ROPS cab increases operator safety and comfort, beneficial for extended use in varying weather conditions.
