M7040su and M5640su?

dntfxr · Jul 26, 2014

I see these machines still listed on Kubotas website but I'm wondering if they're still in production? I'd read that the rest of the premium Mxx40's were being replaced by the 60 series but hadn't heard anything about the "special utility" models. Are they being phased out or will they still be available? Any info available?

All the 40's are tier 3 machines & no longer in production, although not all have been sold. You can still find some on dealer lots.

Thanks Fallon, that clears it up a bit. I'm just getting back in the market for a tractor and those models caught my eye. I appreciate the reply.

How about 4wd cab models on the 7040HDC? What kind of prices are you seeing on those with low hours?

$35-45k at the auctions in my area depending on options like FEL, rear remotes, etc. I seen a 2wd open station without loader and 350hrs go for $17k. I've heard of better deals but I'm never present when those chips fall.

ive seen the cab 7040s priced at $35000 to $38000 private treaty sales.

I've about ruled out the m5640 for the transmission, but the m7040su hydraulic shuttle would be a nice one if I could find one.. Does anyone know if it has a turbo or egr on it?

PoorPlowboy · Jul 29, 2014

It is my understanding that the 7040su has both a turbo and egr as my 7040hdc-1 does. Many call it Tier 3, but my paperwork calls it Interim Tier 4. Final Tier 4 as found on the new 7060 adds DPF and regen.

Thanks Poorplowboy that's what I thought too. I called a dealer with one in stock and he called it tier three but it's listed as tier 4 interim. That stinks it's got the egr.
Though they have been known to quit working..
