The Kubota M7060 utility tractor was manufactured from 2013 to 2020. This model has the following versions: M7060HF (ROPS, 2WD, 8-speed), M7060HFC (Cab, 2WD, 8-speed), M7060HD (ROPS, 4WD, 8-speed), M7060HDC (Cab, 4WD, 8-speed), M7060HD12 (ROPS, 4WD, 12-speed), M7060HDC12 (Cab, 4WD, 12-speed).

The Kubota M7060 tractor is powered by Kubota V3307-CR-TE4 4-stroke 4-cylinder direct injection turbocharged diesel engine with a maximum power of 71 hp (52.9 kW).

The Kubota M7060 is fitted with two transmission options: 8x8 power shuttle transmission, or 12x12 power shuttle transmission. The maximum travel speed (forward/reverse): 22.5 mph (36 km/h). The closed center hydraulic system used a piston pump with rated fluid flow of 11 gpm (41.5 lpm). The main relief pressure is 2830 psi (195 bar).

The 2WD models are equipped with 7.50-16 front tires and 16.9-30 rear tires. The 9.50-24 front tires and 16.9-30 rear tires are used for 4WD tractors. The wheel base is 84.4" (2140 mm) for models with 2-wheel drive and 83.1" (2110 mm) for models with 4-wheel drive. The Kubota M7060 is compatible with Kubota LA1154 front end loader with lift capacity to maximum height of 2928 lbs (1328 kg).
