Carrfields expands South Island footprint with Agricentre South Kubota dealership acquisition
Two of the South Island’s agricultural machinery dealers are undertaking strategic changes designed to deliver even greater specialist support to farmers.
They're even scoring a few points with the Domestic Manager, as it can be used around the farmhouse garden.
The new Kubota B2601 features the company's latest three cylinder engine that develops 26hp and is said to be quiet and vibration free, so ideally suited around the farmstead.
Mated to a three stage hydrostatic transmission, machine speed can be infinitely controlled to the job in hand, and also features cruise control for constant speed operations.
A long, wide operator platform is accessed over wide fenders with strategically placed grab handle for easy mount and dis-mount, and once seated a comprehensive display, and logically placed and colour coded controls make operation a breeze. Forward visibility is enhanced with a forward sloping hood, and combines with the power steering system for safe and accurate manoeuvring in tight situations.
The rear three point linkage uses a position control valve for accurate implement height operation, and a four way valve is used to control external oil feed and is particularly suited to front-end loader use.
As part of the overall package a range of dedicated attachments extend the versatility of the tractor, and feature mid-mounted mowers in 54 or 60 inch cutting widths, and a drive over design for easy attachment and removal.
The LA 434 front end loader and the BH70 tear backhoe units will find many uses around the property, and in a nod to multi-tasking, there's even a cup holder.
