Powerful, Clean, Quiet & Fuel Efficient
The MH8500 boasts an industrial 3-cylinder Kubota D1305, (tier 4) liquid cooled diesel engine. Standard items include: glow plug for cold weather starts, 30 AMP alternator for adding additional electrical components, RPM gauge, hydraulic oil temp gauge & a LOFA industrial ignition with hour meter & battery indicator lights. Kubota 05 series engines has been powering heavy-duty equipment for over 30 years! That’s TRUSTED POWER!
Powerful Hydro-Static Drive System
The heart of the HYDRO-STATIC drive in the MH8500, are commercial grade tandem piston pumps. Rated @ 19.6 GPM, they provide less heat, dynamic braking, variable speeds & massive power to each track! – 3,000 PSI! — That’s DOUBLE the amount of pressure from previous MH Series MAGNATRAC® models!
PFC™Priority Flow Control System
This attachment control system, gives you the utmost in professional speed control of your rear attachments, such as backhoes & PTO. With an easy to use “priority flow control dial” you can control your attachment speed with “pin point” professional accuracy. Indicator light allows for easy recognition of ON/OFF control of these attachments.
Ready to Run for Hours
Nobody likes to stop working before the job is done! Boasting a big 5+ gallon, easy to fill fuel tank, with top mounted fuel gauge, easy release cap with cap connector, and protective steel guard, means uninterrupted earth-moving is easier and better than ever before!
Keep Cool All Day Long
Constant hydraulic flow to the Heavy-Duty heat exchanger rated at 363 CFM and 9” fan, keeps your hydraulic fluid cool all day long! Durable, tough, bright & reliable dual 18W LED headlights, allow you to work late into the evening or even those early mornings!
Easily Accessible Operator Cockpit
Jump right in! The loader/blade controls are at an easy reach, track drive controls are ergonomically designed and all NEW Hi / Low hand throttle makes setting your speed for moving dirt and engine RPM for backhoe work a snap! From a slow creep to max speed, the MH8500 is easy and safe to use!
EOL™ Easy Oil Level System
Easy to view hydraulic oil sight window, means no opening up the hood to mess with a hard to read dipstick! – Simple & easy to use! If you see hydraulic oil in the sight window, you’re good to go!
Robot Welded Undercarriage
The MH8500 inherited the backbone of its predecessors; an over 300 pound all-steel undercarriage frame, robotically welded in our custom fixture. Exemplifying not only good design, strength, efficiency and consistency, but this also creates a very low center of gravity when it comes to hilly terrain and steep slopes!
Thoughtfully Engineered Upper Frame
The upper frame isn’t just any regular old tractor frame by any means. It’s a rugged, all-steel, almost 200 lb., meticulously robot welded, 13 gallon hydraulic tank, engine mounting area, rear draw-bar and provides mounting points for the loader, backhoe and other hard working attachments!
Heavy-Duty Track System with Time Tested TCP™ Technology
The technology behind TCP (Tandem Chain Path) is the matched AR200 pre-hardened sprockets of the rear drive and front idler sprockets. Simultaneously engaging both track chains provides redundancy in case of debris interference and the effectiveness of a sprocket width seven times greater. 10 heavy-duty guide rollers (5 per side) cut from 5/8” thick solid steel, encase the heavy-duty CA551X track chain and precisely direct the chain into the drive and idler sprockets. Center roller axles are easily accessed by removing 1 bolt!

Shipping Terminal (USA & Canada)
We ship to thousands of trucking terminals across the USA & Canada. While requesting a quote submit your zip code/postal code and we will find the trucking terminal closest to your location. When picking up at shipping terminal, you will need a trailer to accommodate your machine. The shipping terminal will load your machine into the back of a customer supplied trailer. Some customers hire a local flatbed towing service for larger deliveries to their home.
Business Delivery (USA & Canada)
The business you select must have a semi height loading dock or forklift to unload and accept delivery during normal business hours. You must make arrangements with the business to accept your delivery. Business locations could include: work places, feed stores, lumber yards, building supply centers, etc.
Home Delivery with Flatbed & Forklift Service (USA & Canada)
Your home must be accessible by tractor-trailer*, and someone must be home to accept delivery. The truck driver will lower your item to the ground using a forklift attached to the back of a flatbed tractor-trailer. The driver will move the item to the ground with the forklift. The driver can only move the item off the truck, not to a specified location.
Deliveries to Other Countries Outside the USA & Canada
All customers outside the US and Canada must find a freight forwarder to handle the shipping, crating, and any other duties, taxes or other fees.
