|
Lifting Power and Height Two separate boom cylinder fulcrum points (Power position and Height position) give you the option to increase the M-Series Front Loader lifting power or height based on your needs. When using the pallet fork or bale spear you may want to set the fulcrum to give you more height. For bucket work, a lower setting offers more power. |
Quick-Mount Attach/Detach Attach or detach the front loader in moments without the use of tools. The boom stands and mounting pins make this task a snap, allowing an extra measure of productivity and tractor versatility. A single-lever Hydraulic Quick Coupler, available for the loader's hydraulic fittings, allows you to release all four lines at once. |
| Joystick Control Located in front of the control console for easy access, the joystick offers you the ability to control the movement and speed of the loader with a single lever. The Series Circuit makes simultaneous boom and bucket operation possible, while the Regenerative Bucket Dump Circuit enables quick dumping for efficient operation with quick cycle times.
|
4-Bar Linkage Thanks to an upgraded 4-bar bucket linkage, the rollback and dumping angle has been increased for quicker scooping and dumping. Rubber Caps A new feature, rubber caps, prevent grease drips helping to keep the operator's clothes clean. The caps also give the loader a more appealing look. Skid Steer-Type Quick Coupler This standard M-Series feature makes attaching buckets, bale spears and pallet forks quick and easy. |
|
|
||
| Hydraulic Self-leveling Valve This optional feature allows the operator to raise or lower the loader boom while keeping the bucket level to the ground. This will help prevent spills when carrying soil or sand and will make pallet handling smooth and easy. This function can be switched off for times when bucket angles are more advantageous, for instance, during excavation.
|
Kubota Shockless Ride (KSR) The KSR absorbs loader shock and reduces operator fatigue. This option is perfect if your tasks include a great deal of tight turns or lifting and dumping of heavy loads. It effectively takes the "bounce" out of handling round bales.
|
Single-Lever Hydraulic Quick Coupler The optional quick coupler allows the operator the ability to attach all four hoses at once. This makes attaching and detaching quick and easy, even when you're doing it often.

To
help reduce operator fatigue and stress, the V3007-DI and V3307-DI have
been specially designed to minimize noise and vibration. This accomplished
through several innovative technologies. Noise is reduced through a ladder
frame crankshaft support, giving the engine a stiffer structure and thus
lower noise. Vibration is lowered through the application of compact,
built-in balancers.
The
M-Series shifts into high gear with more transmission options and
smoother operation.
Better
than ever, our Hydraulic Shuttle for the M-Series makes shifting between
forward and reverse smooth and quick. With the Hydraulic Shuttle, a
column-mounted lever, conveniently located next to the steering wheel,
does all the work. Boost productivity, especially while using loaders,
by eliminating the need to depress the clutch every time you change
directions. And when attaching implements, our improved inching feature
is easy to perform, giving you the same feel as a half-clutch operation.
