You'll love the M7040! The "switch" between HST and standard is fairly easy, but you will get confused every now and then (at least I do). I sometimes find myself sitting at a stand still and wondering why the tractor isn't moving forward - or backward as the case may be!
I have the "standard" AG's on mine. Never thought they looked out of place, but then again my M7040 is the only one I have ever seen (I don't get out much). The one I bought was the only one on the lot!
Actually, I looked at M7040's at another dealer before I bought mine - but I was only interested in the width of the foot print. Needed mine to be as narrow as possible...
Here is a thread on tires, I had never paid much attention prior to this either: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/254518-new7040-tire-option.html
My son and I can really identify with sitting there wondering why it isn't moving. We often work together and switch back and forth between the M8540 and L5740. We pull almost door to door to switch out and one day I noticed we were both sitting there with blank looks on our faces as we "rebooted" our brains to the tractor then the "light bulb" went on and we took off at almost the same time.:laughing:
