Escorts Kubota Limited has launched two new tractor models, the Kubota MU4502 (45 HP) and MU5002 (50 HP), strengthening its premium utility tractor portfolio. These models are designed for the 41-50 HP segment, a significant and growing part of the Indian tractor market.

These tractors fall under the premium Kubota brand, joining existing models like MU4201, MU4501, and MU5502, offering a comprehensive range for farmers. The design incorporates Kubota's global aesthetic, inspired by a bull, with full LED lighting for enhanced visibility. Operator comfort is prioritized through a fully covered flat-deck, a premium bucket seat, suspended pedals, and reduced vibration from balancer shaft technology.
The MU4502 and MU5002 are versatile, compatible with various farming implements and suitable for major crops and haulage tasks. They are designed for landholdings of 5 acres and above and are available pan-India.
Nikhil Nanda, Chairman and Managing Director, stated that the new models enhance the company's position in the crucial 41-50 HP segment, catering to progressive farmers and custom hiring businesses.
