FIRST DRIVE Kubota M135-GX

摘要

A new four-post cab, front-axle suspension and an extra range for the eight-speed powershift gearbox look set to propel Kubota's flagship M135-GX towards the mainstream tractor market. While many of the basics are the same as on the company's previousrange-toppers, the GX's motor is now kitted out with a catalyst and particulate filter to keep things clean and flower-friendly. Although a six-star tedder and a loader on mucking-out duties did little to test the engine's performance, it did highlightthe effectiveness of one particular feature.
