Questions I get about the M8 Series

Is the M8 really built in Canada?

Yes - the M8 is Kubota's flagship tractor and is built in Canada for Canadian farming conditions and acreage.

What's the difference between the M8-181 and M8-201?

The M8-181 delivers 180 HP with 145 PTO HP, and the M8-201 tops the lineup at 200 HP with 159 PTO HP. The extra horsepower and PTO capacity on the M8-201 matter most if you're pulling wide tillage tools or running high-draft implements.

What transmission options are available on the M8?

The M8 series offers KVT, Kubota's continuously variable transmission, or a semi-powershift option - the same choice as the M7-4 series - so you can pick stepless control or a conventional geared feel.

Who is the M8 built for?

The M8 is aimed at larger-acreage operations doing broadacre tillage, planting, and heavy loader or hauling work - it's the top of Kubota's farm tractor lineup by horsepower.
