I plan to buy something smaller after I sell this one. There's a Kubota dealer near my home that I have dealt with quite often, I'll check with them about the consignment idea. Thanks for the tip.

Linda, we have an L5030 HSTC in addition to our M8540 and my wife is very comfortable operating it. The Grand L Series are really capable tractors and very maneuverable.
I am sure my wife could learn to operate the 8540, but she just doesn't want to.

Interesting. My wife had no problems operating any of my previous Kubota's, that is until I got the large frame tractors and now she wants nothing to do with either. I suspect it's the gear drive instead of the easier to handle hydro. Could be the height too. The 5030 as well as the previous units were much closer to the ground.
I too am sorry to hear of your loss. I don't have any idea what my wife will do when I'm gone, maybe hire a 'boyfriend' to handle the equipment or have one heck of a sale.:thumbsup:
I won't be worrying about that, I presume. She's quite a bit younger than I am...but I'm still having a good time......

Probably the same with my wife. We also use a pull type rotary cutter with the 8540 and she has never been comfortable backing trailers etc. up. You should see her putting a boat in the water; better not be anyone else near the ramp.:laughing::laughing:
Fortunately when I am gone, maybe quicker than you would think if she sees this post, we have two grown sons one who live three miles away and one who lives on one of our farms who will step in. My youngest grandson, now four loves tractors also, so someday he will be running them.

Hi Linda,
I too want to offer my heartfelt sympathy for the passing of your husband.
I recently saw a 9540 w/ loader and cab for sale on the internet (it was at a dealership near Kansas City) - pretty low hours (~400). Asking price was right around $38,000. (37,950?). I consider that to be a good deal too so I think you're in a range that should make your tractor easy to sell if that will cover what you need to get into a replacement etc.
Good luck and all the best.
