It's been a long time since I've posted, but I found tractorbynet to be the best resource when I bought my Kubota M7040DT back in 2006. As it turns out, I couldn't have bought a more reliable tractor. I've been very satisfied with my tractor. Since then, I've purchased a ZG327 mower. I am...

A co-worker of mine has offered me a JD 4-row cultivator. He'll be bringing me the books on the unit tomorrow hopefully, but I have questions to ask you all. What is a cultivator used for exactly? I don't want to sound stupid, but I know that since the advent of the rotary hoe, cultivators...

I've been doing some surfing on the internet for a single row hipper that would attach to my 3pt. I drive a Kubota M7040 (68 engine HP) and was wondering if anybody could help me locate a manufacturer. Also looking for a 3pt. disc harrow as well as a wheeled drag type. Any help would be...

Well, I finally pulled the trigger on an M7040DT with a Bushhog model 296 rotary cutter. Did the paperwork on 11/29/06 and had it delivered the same day. Just over 4 hours on it so far, but I love it. I'll post some pictures here in the near future if I get a chance. BC

A friend of mine has a JD 2020 and was searching for a good battery manufacturer for use with the tractor. Any suggestions? BC

Well, I've finally narrowed it down to a Kubota M7040F (2WD) and a JD 5303. I know I'm not comparing oranges to oranges here...oranges to watermelons, maybe. I got the M7040F priced. Comes with 2 remotes and the front weight bracket (which weighs in over 200lbs btw) for $20,250. I have quote...

Just wanting some hard evidence that these tractors were/are made in the old Ford plants. BC

I have a couple diesel tanks at the farm that haven't held diesel in a while and have developed rust on the inside. I plan on putting these tanks back into service and was wondering if the rust could cause issues. I will have a filtered pump on them, and the rust is not truly extensive. What...

Greetings Gents: I've got a MF 1130 that I'm having some blow-by woes with. It is not feasible for me to have it overhauled right now (big bucks that I don't have), but I'm losing a good bit of oil. What are my options for decreasing oil consumption? I was thinking of an additive maybe, or...

Got a ballpark price of $20,000 for a brand new 573 basic model: One remote, 8x2 transmission and live pto...2WD. Located in Louisiana...what do you guys think? Seems a little steep to me. The dealer stated that the new 500 series boasts a new larger platform on ROPS models, but that only...

Are there any websites that have prices for a 471? Anybody else out there that has an idea of what a 2WD 471 would MSRP for or cost? Thanks. BC

Does anyone have any contacts (i.e. salespersons) for the Kubota dealership near/in Hammond, LA? Thanks. BC

I've been looking for a project here lately and really love the 60's model Case tractors. I've decided to restore/refurbish a 430, 530, 630, or 730; or maybe even one of the earlier 100 series or the 70 series machines. If anyone has one in decent shape, or knows where I can find one, please...

Greetings: I was wondering if some of you who got quotes for the new 5040/6040/7040 Kubotas would be interested in sharing some of the prices you've been seeing, as I see that the price can differ substantially, even in the same geographic area. Anything would be a help. Please include...

Do the M-Series engines use wet sleeve or dry sleeve technology? BC

Need some input: O.K. I know that all the 5*03 tractors have the same engine. Both the 5103 and 5203 are naturally aspirated while the 5303 is turbocharged. Obviously, the difference in HP between the 5103 and 5303 can be attributed to the turbocharger. How do they get the higher HP of the...

So when do you suppose Kubota will update it's website to include the new models?? So far, one of the only places I can find explanations and pictures are at www.deenimplement.com. BC

Evening: Would anyone be able to point me to a reference for the engine manufacturers of the major utility tractor companies, in the event that there is such a reference. I know that MF tractors utilize Perkins engines (Perkins was bought out by Caterpillar in 1998). John Deere uses...

Greetings: I was hoping that someone could fill me in on snapper tillers. I read up on their website and like what I see, but I was only able to find one consumer rating post for the tiller on the net. If anyone owns one, could they be so kind as to elaborate on their experiences with the...

Afternoon Gents: So, has anyone had any problems with their 400 series MF? I find the plainess of the 400 series very attractive as I am mostly a no frills kind of guy. I know that the 431/451/461 are a little tight as far as comfort goes for me, but I think that the 471 has more room. It...

Hello Gents: Need some ideas and I know you've got plenty for me. I know the difference between wet sleeve engines and dry sleeve engines, but I want to know which is better as far as durability, life, rebuildability, etc. Also, Wet clutch or dry clutch? I was also reading up on inboard vs...

Hello Gents: I've all but made up my mind on the Kubota M-Series, but I'd like to know if anyone can give me a ball park price on an MF 471. 2WD or 4WD price would be fine, as I can guestimate what it would cost to add 4WD. Thanks. BC

Greetings! I'm brand new to the site and was hoping that some of you could steer me in the right direction. I currently take care of 64 acres of land that consists of hardwood forest, fallow fields (with about 10 billion chinese tallow triees, aka. chicken trees), and some of which can get...
