Kubota introduces the New Generation of Front Loaders LK-M

October 3, 2023

Kubota is proud to launch the latest LK-M series, a revolutionary line of front loaders designed to elevate the field work experience to new heights. The culmination of extensive research and unwavering commitment to innovation, this range is designed to meet the diverse needs of farmers, not just today, but well into the future.

The new LK-M series encompasses five loader models, each equipped with integrated mechanical self-levelling, striking the perfect balance between lift height and power to enhance efficiency in everyday handling needs.

Key Highlights of the LK-M Loader Series:

1. Enhanced Ergonomics for Optimal Efficiency:

The LK-M series boasts completely revised ergonomics, prioritising visibility and simplicity in design. Ingenious features like the mechanical self-levelling and lowered crossbar ensure exceptional visibility during both working and hitching, making it an excellent asset in the field.

2. Streamlined Design for Ideal Tractor-Loader Integration:
The LK-M loader features a refined and integrated design, ensuring an optimal tractor-loader combination. Hydraulic and electrical integration into the loader boom, complemented by a high quality finish, guarantees exceptional durability and ease of maintenance.

3. Versatile Customization Options:

With a host of compatible equipment options, from AUTO-UNLOAD* to AUTO-LEVEL* and powerful work lights, KUBOTA provides the freedom to customise the loader for optimal performance in any situation.

4. Exclusive EASY-PLUG, 3rd FUNCTION with Release Pressure:

An exclusive and revolutionary feature of the LK-M series, EASY-PLUG facilitates effortless implement connection and disconnection through the 3rd function decompression system. Located at the front of the loader, a single action on the red lever activates the decompression, simplifying operations and maximising efficiency.

5. Comprehensive Loader Ready Kit Compatibility:

All current loader ready kits for M4003, M5002, and M6002 are compatible with the new LK-M series design. Kubota is extending the loader solution with the M6001 UTILITY offer, and the long wheelbase tractor can be fitted with reinforcing frames for extreme heavy-duty use.

6. Advanced Joystick Controller and Front Linkage Integration:

The M6001 U Joystick Controller, available in various configurations, offers a seamless loader control experience. This controller can also manage the front linkage and front hydraulic auxiliary line when selected together. The loader boom crossbar provides ample clearance for the front linkage and PTO (if fitted) ensuring optimum compatibility.

Standard accumulator suspension for smoother operations.
Loader boom fitted with a 3rd hydraulic function for enhanced versatility.
