The Kubota M8200 is a utility tractor produced in Japan between 1997 and 2005, serving as a key model within the M6800 and M9000 series. It is designed for general agricultural applications, offering a balance of mechanical simplicity and operational versatility.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by the Kubota V3300-TE, a 3.3-liter, 4-cylinder liquid-cooled diesel engine. It generates 85.3 gross horsepower (63.6 kW) at a rated speed of 2600 RPM. The engine utilizes a dual dry element air cleaner to maintain performance in dusty field conditions.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The M8200 features two transmission configurations: an 8-speed synchronized manual transmission with a 299.7mm cerametallic dry disc clutch, or an 8-speed power shuttle transmission equipped with a hydraulic wet disc clutch. Both systems provide 8 forward and 8 reverse gears, with an optional creeper range available on power shuttle models to increase speed selections to 12/12.
Hydraulics and Hitch
The hydraulic system utilizes an open-center configuration with a pump flow capacity of 17.1 gpm (64.7 lpm). It supports 1 to 3 remote valves for implement control. The rear hitch is a Category II type, featuring position control and top-link draft sensing, capable of lifting 4,630 lbs (2100 kg) at 24 inches behind the lift points.
Mechanical and Dimensions
The chassis is available in either two-wheel or four-wheel drive, featuring hydrostatic power steering and mechanical wet disc brakes for stopping power. The tractor features inboard planetary final drives and standard front and rear differential locks. It is available with a two-post folding ROPS or an optional factory-installed cab with air conditioning.
Conclusion
The Kubota M8200 is a standard utility tractor suited for a wide range of field and farmyard tasks. Its combination of a mid-range horsepower engine, versatile transmission options, and substantial hydraulic capacity makes it a reliable tool for varied agricultural environments.
