WG972-M – Evolution of a Proven Platform

The Kubota WG972 series has long been recognized for its excellent fuel flexibility, supporting gasoline, LPG, natural gas, and dual-fuel configurations, as well as for the reliability derived from Kubota’s Super Mini diesel engine design. With low vibration, low noise, and robust engineering, the series has continued to be chosen across a wide range of industrial applications. The WG972-M inherits these strengths while further enhancing ease of installation.

Mature Technologies, Enhanced Usability

The WG972-M incorporates mature control technologies and components developed through other models in the Kubota WG Series. By leveraging Kubota’s accumulated design assets, the WG972-M eliminates the need for intake-system adjustments and offers improved flexibility in governor tuning. These enhancements support smoother integration into a wider variety of machine layouts. While retaining the trusted reliability and core characteristics of the original WG972, the WG972-M has evolved into a platform that offers greater installation freedom and improved user-friendliness.
