The M8540NPK is equipped with Kubota’s V3800 revolutionary center-direct injection system engine. The E-CDIS engine offers a rare combination of more power, optimum durability and greater efficiency. It provides you with what you need to get the job done quicker, while still minding your budget. This engine also boast lower noise levels, which equate to less stress and fatigue, especially after a long day on the tractor.

The Hydraulic Shuttle transmission is designed to keep you moving and productive with synchronized four speeds of the main shift and a high/low range. The main shift also allows you to shift “on the fly” for smooth operation. 

Due to the Power Krawler’s larger rear footprint, the weight of the tractor is dispersed more evenly, offering better floatation, less compaction and less damage to soil. The rear crawler exerts a mere 4.12 psi of ground pressure, roughly 60% less than a typical tractor wheel.

The Power Krawler’s distinctive crawler design places the oscillation point below the drive sprocket and directly in the path of the driving force, thus ensuring greater traction, better stability and more surefooted climbing. Additionally, the Power Krawler’s left and right crawlers oscillate independently. This means that both tracks can flexibly traverse bumpy surfaces, keeping both sides of the tractor in contact with the ground at all times.

Unlike the steel lugs used in full crawler tracks, the synthetic rubber track of the Power Krawler features hard rubber lugs to help propel the drive sprockets of the crawler, giving you a smoother ride and higher top speeds. Also, because the Power Krawler is equipped with Bi-speed, it offers a turning radius equal to conventional four-wheel tractors.

Kubota has engineered the M8540 Power Krawler specifically for those who work in vineyards, orchards or anywhere else that might require a narrow or compact tractor with M-Series power. It features an overall height of only 92.1” and a width of just 54.0”. The fenders have been rounded and standard, foldable hazard lights are included.
