new kubota models

[steve l]

i know this not pertaining to service or operating but i going to ask anyway.i was at the kubota dealership last week in tyler texas and the salesman had a new brochure on a new tractor.the model number was 9960 which is replacing the current 9540.sheet metal was basically the same but the interior was awesome.looked simalar to a john&%#@%..the remote levers are by the gear selector very well placed(not down below the seat UGH.)the 3pt lift control is on the console also.no lever slide button.my question is has anyone else seen or heard about the new models,diffrent sizes etc.

Heard of them coming, but no details beyond a bigger, better cab. We are pretty satisfied with our 8540, but I guess there is always room for improvement.

I've not seen one but the biggest complaint I have with my 9000 is the cab size. The way it's laid out isn't bad but I would like more room. Small cabs are hard on a fat man.

My son and I were discussing cab size the other day. The cab on our Case CX80 was bigger than the 8540 and he had a buddy seat in it for his kids. We have really hilly land on much of our property and like the smaller cab as it is easier to hold on to a grab rail or brace yourself on a steep slope. For others, a larger cab is great.

Of course the cab on the 8540 is big compared to the 5030.

A friend of mine bought a 110 hp NH a couple of yrs ago. His cab is big enough to have a party in. Being used to mine it made his look 2x bigger.

I had to leave a message for one of our renters and climbed up into the cab of an 8000 Series John Deere, man was that thing roomy.

I have a buddy that bought a 8400 JD. It looks bad just sitting still.

The new 2012 full line brochure is out with the new tractors in it. The new M9960 does have a bigger cab, very nice! Also the M135GX has a huge cab now along with some very nice features. Along with the bigger cab, the tractor looks very different. 4 head lights in the grill, sunroof, and hood scoop.
