Kubota M7-174 Specs, Features & Field-Ready Buyer Guide

The Kubota M7-174 is built for operators who want a tractor that can run serious PTO loads, keep up with hydraulic-demanding implements, and still feel composed during long days thanks to a full-feature cab setup. The core advantage of this model isn’t just horsepower—it’s how well it’s set up for high work rate: strong PTO output, load-sensing hydraulics, and transmission choices that let you build the tractor for either maximum smoothness (CVT) or repeatable speed steps (PowerShift).

Transmission (choose the “personality”)

This is where M7-174 becomes flexible: you can spec it for precise, smooth speed control (CVT) or for consistent, repeatable steps under load (PowerShift). 

30-speed PowerShift

• Type: six-speed power shift
• Gears: 30 forward / 15 reverse
• Clutch: hydraulic wet disc
• Layout: six power shift gears in five synchronized ranges with power shuttle 

KVT (CVT)

• Type: continuously-variable transmission
• Gears: infinite forward and reverse 

Optional creeper

• Type: creeper
• Gears: 54 forward / 27 reverse
• Note: listed as an optional additional creeper range for the PowerShift
