Stopped in at my neighborhood Kubota dealer today just to see if they had an M5660 SUHD on the lot...the tractor of my desires. I went out to the lot and there sat one. After climbing up and around it for a few minutes, looking underneath, envisioning me using it, etc., I went inside to see if my point of contact was in today.
I found him and after some chit chat he grabbed the key and we went out to the lot. I wanted to test drive the tractor as I have never driven one with the hydraulic power shuttle. My experience has been either a crash box or hydrostatic.
I really like the power shuttle and for my use, it will be a most excellent choice. That loader practically reaches to the sky! The cable operated loader valve is a little stiff but hopefully it would loosen up with use. Tried speed shifting the 4 speed synchronized tranny and it was flawless.
Foot throttle is sweet! All the controls were within easy reach for me.
Now waiting game begins Have to get a couple bills paid off before pulling the trigger.
