    Tractor for towing a boat

    All, Thanks very much for your input. - most helpful. Here’s a picture of my boat. Given the advice I’m thinking of the skid steer route. She’s a big, heavy girl and no way do I want the tractor (and me) to end up submersed!! Thanks again. P.s: love my Kubota and bat wing mower combo.

    Tractor for towing a boat

    I need a loader tractor for yard use and to pull a 12,500 lb boat to and from a boat ramp over level roads on a dual axel trailer. The most strain would be pulling the boat out of the water at the ramp. Would a 4800 series tractor be capable? Thanks. JW

    Which tractor?

    Paul, Neither the M4 nor the M5 have a quick disconnect for attachments like my Grand L 6060. Do any of the kubota tractors in this series have the quick disconnect? Getting on and off the tractor to secure attachments is a pain in the ass. This

    Which tractor?

    Very helpful, thank you. So the M5 has DEF — which means I need to add the fluid vs the auto regen? How often do I need to add the fluid? Is it a PITA? Below is a photo of the M4. Those front tires look scrawny. Is there a wider tire that doesn’t compromise ride quality. I’m in pastures...

    Which tractor?

    My dealer says the price difference between the M5-91 and the 111 is only 3k so well worth buying the 111. My Grand L 6060 is in nice condition and has 475 hours -2019. I’m being offered 40k to trade.

    Which tractor?

    Thanks for your response and that’s what my gut’s saying. The L6060 did fine. In summers I’d need to keep the screens clean during cutting and the AC was anemic. I’ve read on these forums about the cab heat from an HST tractor and it was a factor in the summer. Once during a regen I had a...

    Which tractor?

    Members, I’m upgrading from a Grand L 6060 and have a choice of an M4D-071 or M5-111 and there’s a 20k delta between the models. I’m pulling a 15’ bat wing bush hog 90% of the time, otherwise I’m using the bucket and a grapple. No space or other limitations. Other than saving 20k is there...

    Fire - warranty coverage?

    I own a 2019 Grand L 6060 HSTC. I was bushhogging the other day and saw the regen light illuminate. Then I smelled something and then I saw smoke. Immediately stopped the engine, opened the cowl and at the back of the engine there was a small fire burning (see photos). I put the fire out...

    Land Pride RC2512 buying advice

    Does anyone have experience with this bat wing mower, good bad or otherwise? I'm looking to buy to pull behind an L-6060. Need the bat wing for width of cut and terrace cutting. It's a 12' bat wing. It's been matched for the tractor by a Kubota dealer. thanks!

    What to buy?

    I had an M6060, great tractor. Shouldn't have sold the damn thing. I was thinking of getting into a little smaller frame tractor. What makes the Grand L "luxury"? Is it ride comfort, quietness of cab, or the way it's optioned out? thanks

    What to buy?

    What do you think of the L4060 or L4760 models, with cabs?

    What to buy?

    I have a few options on the rotary mowers but the ones I'm looking at need 40hp minimum. Thanks for your response! JW
