Kubota expands range

The new Kubota gear includes spreaders, power harrows, pneumatic seeders, ploughs, speed discs and cultivators.

Included in the range is the CD Series of speed discs which can be used to help manage heavy stubble and residue loads.

The Kubota CD1000 has been designed for working to a depth of 8cm and is 15% lighter than the Kubota CD2000 series.

The CD1000 is available in working widths from 3m to 4m, the folding version from 4m to 6m and is equipped with a disc arm which carries a row of heat-treated, 520mm x 5mm thick discs.

The CD 2000 series is available in rigid and foldable frame versions. Available in working widths of 4m to 5m, the semi-mounted CD2000T can be linked to the lifting arms of the tractor.

Most adjustments can be made hydraulically from the tractor cabin (depth changes and folding mechanism) and there’s a hydraulic lock device for safe transport – with a transport width of 2.75m.

For additional stability on the road, the CD2000T is equipped with hydraulic suspension as standard equipment. The CD2000T can be can be fitted with several tyre sizes, including 400/60x15.5, 480/45x17 or 520/50x17.
