Seat installed at dealership today. Hands down, the best money I’ve spent on this tractor to date. Huge difference. Air ride seat is the only way to go.

Thank you for the reply. I was hoping for the cloth seat. Actual pictures would be great. Thank you. I'm going to call my dealership and get one ordered. Since you just had it installed, what did the upgrade run you installed? Thanks again for the reply.

Hey guys. Bought an MX6000 earlier this year. My only complaint is just how uncomfortable the factory seat is. My previous tractors were M7060 and L4760. My questions is...I'm considering upgrading to the air ride seat from Kubota. Has anyone installed this seat in the MX series tractor? Is it...

Thanks for noticing. I always post to both Orange Tractor and TractorbyNet. Just habit I suppose. I usually get 3 to 1 replies on TBN site.

UPDATE- I bush hogged 10 acres earlier today and tractor went through a regen. Once the regen was complete, I stopped the tractor and felt the mirror. It was not any warmer than the other mirror. The angle actually has it blowing between the cab and the mirror perfectly. The cab glass or mirror...

I agree but after reading dozens of posts about this being an issue, I'd rather have it pointed that way to be on the safe side. Plus, pulling it in the rain won't be an issue now either. Yeah, it's pointed at the mirror but it's a good 2 feet away. If it does damage to the mirror I will replace...

Problem Solved! I unscrewed the 3 screws holding the exhaust end on, rotated until the screw holes lined back up which 2 out of 3 did and made 1 new hole. Screwed back on and done. There was no way I was fooling with putting a sock over that every time I trailer it. Now it faces to the rear. No...

Hey guys. Picked up my new Kubota M7060 tractor this week. As you can see from the photo below, the exhaust on this model is forward facing. Someone told me recently I need to close/cover this exhaust off when trailering the tractor to prevent water from entering the exhaust system and turning...

Hey guys. I need some feedback and opinions on anyone out there using their tractor with AG tires for grading gravel driveways. With my business, grading and packing gravel driveways is about 40% of my business. I currently have a tractor with Industrial Tires and I can accomplish some...

Thank you for the advice. Very sound and helpful.

Hey guys. Need some advice. I've owned two Grand L tractors over the past few years and have been pleased with both tractors. With my tractor business, I would like to move up to the 7 foot bush hog (BH27) and I would certainly need more HP to accomplish that. My tractor business consists of 40%...

Hey guys. Two weeks ago I snagged one of my 3rd function hydraulic hoses on a small tree stump. It ripped the hydraulic fitting completely off. Within minutes I had lost 5 gallons of hydraulic fluid and my tractor was officially disabled in it's tracks. It's hard to believe Kubota didn't develop...

Congrats. Great looking tractor. My first tractor was a L3200. Sure miss smelling that diesel when I would crank her up. New tractors just don't smell the same with all those filters on them. I miss that. Enjoy the new tractor.

I completely agree. I never expected a refund. How can you earn back your customer's trust if you don't keep them in your product. I just assumed when they flew their head transmission guy down from New York and he was unable to resolve the issue, they'd been putting me in a new tractor. Didn't...

Transmission issues were initially felt after about 10 hrs. Hydraulic leaks were immediate. They were resolved. I put about 40 hrs on the tractor. The dealership put 25+ hrs on the tractor trying to resolved the transmission issues but never did. You would certainly know if your tractor had the...
