Kubota announces the new M6002 tractor series at FIMA 2020

This new tractor has been developed entirely by Kubota and it provides a strong solution to the needs of dairy livestock and mixed farms. This revolutionary new M6002 series will offer three models: M6122, M6132 and M6142. The technology in the new M6002 series addresses both the increasing focus on sustainability and the needs of modern farmers.
