    Kubota Quality

    July 2022, new M5-111 with Cab and loader. Tractor has been perfect but the loader was built in Jefferson and has several defects. The front brackets that hold the support legs on the bottom, and the bucket tilt linkages were welded on crooked. This means the pins are in a really bad bind...

    M5 remote 3 point hitch

    The M6 is electronic control. I did however see European models of the M5-91/111 have a fender mounted one with cables. I don't see it offered for US versions. By the way, instead of a hole in the back wall, its the inner lever on the back of the tractor, right side if looking at the back of...

    MX6000 next to an M5-111

    How much larger is the M5 over the M7060? I was looking at the specs and the height is the same and only a few inches longer in length if I remember right. Tires were almost same diameter but lots wider. I have a 7040 now and a M5-111 on order, I haven't seen them side x side.

    Frustration with waiting on new Kubota order

    I'm just adding to the info in order to help others gauge their pending orders. On Sept. 9, 21 I ordered a M5-111 with 24 speed tranny, with cab and loader. The projected date was at the first of the year. It's Feb 16 with no ETA or planned build date. Kubota isn't real responsive to dealer...

    7040, dumbest toolbox ever!

    Wow, my M7040 is a little plastic box half that size and is located next to the steps. It doesn't get in the way but you can't put much in it at all. Richard

    Rotary hay cutter .

    I run a JD 275 (Kuhn GMD700) disc mower on the back of my M7040 Cab tractor with no issues at all. Shipping weight is around 1200# but actual weight is around 1050#. It's a 9'2" cut attached mower. Richard

    M8200 A/C pressures

    Yes, or they use some nasty well water and the mineral deposits will start causing issues. TakerEasy

    M7040 Eletrical Connector

    Hello All, New Kubota Owner, finally retired the old Oliver. I'm having a hard time finding the two mating connectors for the Accessory plugs in the M7040 cab. Both are 3 pin connectors. The 30 Amp has a socket with three spades sticking up. The 15 amp is a male connector with three female...
