Today, I attended an open house at one mf my local Kubota dealers. While there I spend about 30 minutes speaking with a local Kubota representative. I'm in a tri-state area and this representative is different than the representative at the dealer in a different state where I buy most of my equipment, who initially informed me of the forthcoming M8 series.
The representative confirmed the well known rumor of a forthcoming M8 series with models above 200 HP (representative would/could not say how much above 200 HP).
I posted about this a couple of months ago and most questions were 6 cylinder or 4. At the time I did not know.
The Kubota representative confirmed that the M8 models would have 6 cylinder engines but he stated that Kubota would not yet tell him if they were Kubota designed engines or engines purchased from another manufacturer.
Kubota likes to sell tractors engineered internally, so I'm bettin' that they will be Kubota designed.
Time will tell.
