I'm impressed. It operates like a full size tractor with a torque converter. As long as Kubota has done their home work on the electronics used in the unit, this should be "The transmission to beat." I just hope there will be no long term electrical problems with the unit. The old HST trans used in the L48 was bullet proof. As soon as my M7040 sells I will buy the M59. With a 84" 4G series Gearmore rear box blade, it should make a good all around construction tractor.
If you don't mind me asking, why are you selling the M7040? Just curious, you haven't had it all that long.
