I have been looking into the M7040 for a few weeks now, it seems like the best tractor for my work. I do a lot of weedabatement, debris and tree removal stuff, and I also do dirt work here and there.
I have a L3600 right now that I will sell and put towards the new one. The problems I have had with the L3600 I'll list, things I want to avoid with the new one.
Overheating due to rapid clogging of the radiator while mowing (constantly blowing it off with a leaf blower, and washing it on a daily basis.)
Damage from debris coming from below to radiator, fan, oil filter, etc. Any kind of Armor availible?
Damage to the body of the engine compartment on sides and top. Armor question again?
Front tires going flat while carrying heavy bucket loads on slopes.
So advice on what to do on the M7040 that might make those problems go away?
This is the set up I'm thinking about, advice on some gizmo/attachment I'm forgetting, anything you got
M7040HD-1
Optional Valves - 3 remote valves
Downexhaust Pipe w/ spark arrester
Grill Guard
Loader
4 in 1 Loader Bucket
Third Function Control Valve
Single Lever Value Hose Quick Coupler
Backhoe Type - 11' Digging Depth w/ aux
Backhoe Bucket
Backhoe Stabilizer Cylinder Cover
Backhoe Quick Coupler
Rubber Stabilizer Flip Pad
Backhoe Thumb
Tortella flail mower
JD Grapple Bucket
Any recomendations on a good gannon with rippers for this setup?
Also, I'd like to get the quick attach set up in this video
YouTube - Kubota M7040
instead of the 3 point quick attach set up. I can't find those anywhere, anyone used them, like them? The video is in german, but you can see what I'm talking about.
I know that's a lot, but thanks in advance
