2025 Harvester Buyer Beware: These 10 Models Are Known to Fail!

#5 Kubota M8-201

The Kubota M8-201 is perfect for mid-sized farms that value reliability over flashy tech. It's simple to use, with no complicated learning curve---just hop in and go! But, let's be real---it's not built for the big leagues. With only 350 horsepower, it's not ideal for massive fields, and some operators have reported a drop in threshing capacity during peak times. Oh, and grain losses can be up to 8% higher than the big, high-capacity machines. If you're running a medium-scale farm and want something easy to maintain, the M8-201 is a solid pick. Just don't expect it to keep up on larger, high-yield operations!
