It covers loader lift capacities (3,900/4,100 lbs), quick-attach compatibility, 540/540E PTO switching, transmission options (8/12/24-speed), rear remotes, float mode, and cab ergonomics in detail, but it's talk-through-the-machine, not a hands-on demo. Best for buyers comparing M5 configurations for hay or brush hogging use.
A dealership channel (Springdale Tractor via Kubota Center), so expect a sales-oriented walkaround rather than independent testing.
The lift capacity is 3,900 pounds in the height position all the way to the top, and a little over 4,100 pounds in the power position, with about a foot difference in lift height between the two.
Nine times out of ten it's sold for hay operation because of the bang for your buck, giving 85 PTO horsepower which is what it takes to run a 4x6 baler.
It puts the gearing on the PTO a little bit higher so you don't have to run the machine at a higher RPM, giving better fuel efficiency, best used when brush hogging.
It comes with two rear remotes, and if you add a baler you can easily add a third remote to the machine.
