Read articles →This is an owner's cab walkthrough of a 2020 Kubota M5-111, focused specifically on the auto clutch and controls rather than a spec rundown or dealer pitch. He demonstrates the forward/reverse paddle, gear/transfer case selectors, remote hydraulics, and three-point idle control, and gives an honest take that the electronic clutch feels jumpy for fine movements but works fine for fieldwork. Useful for buyers curious how this transmission actually feels to operate day-to-day.
Posted by Old Barker Ranch, an operator running multiple Kubotas and John Deeres on their own property, sharing hands-on impressions rather than a sales pitch.
It is a small paddle you can operate with one finger. You can go from neutral and kick it into forward without even using the clutch, and it takes off.
It still has a clutch pedal, but it does not feel like a normal clutch. It is hard to feel it engage smoothly and is pretty jumpy for fine, precise movements.
Yes, for normal operations such as being in the hay field, putting out hay, or pulling a disc, the owner says it works great.
