The M5 Series also has the time tested Kubota bevel gear front axle, which allows for low maintenance, exceptional turning radius and better ground clearance when compared to traditional u-joint front axles. The bevel-gear front axle provides the M5 Series with greater all-around maneuverability, whether you’re in the tight confines of a barnyard or straddling tall windrows in a hay field. The limited slip differential on the front and differential lock on the rear are standard features, offering increased stability and traction on the challenging ground conditions.
