Well, I was set on a Kubota M7040 cab until I went to the World Expo last week. I really have never looked at a Deere before, but the 5025 Series got my attention.:rolleyes: I currently have a Kubota B7800 and love it, so I am a big Kubota fan. I figure I have to keep my options open for this...

I am looking into doing some brush hog and discing work on other peoples property. I would think I would need liability insurance. Does anyone know the cost per year for a very small operation? Maybe 1 mil liability?

I was wondering if any of you farm with your tractor. I live on 5 acres. The last two years I have farmed 1 acre. I mostly gave the good produce away. The hard part was dealing with the bugs, etc. Still learning as I didn't use any pesisides. I know, I can sell the items with easy if I can...

Thanks to all of you, I have moved from the L Series to the M Series. I am getting very close to buying. Any suggestions regarding price or options? M5040HDC 4W/D LA1153 Front Loader with Grill Guard M1811 72" Loader Bucket M1825 Loader Valve M9594 Draw Bar Clevis M7630 Rear Working Lights...

Well for those who take risk you might want to think twice and slow it down and think. Here is a recent study showing the most dangerous US jobs. Yep. Farmer and Ranchers are on the top. The one that got me was the most injuries come out of Beet sugar manufacturing: 16.6 injuries per 100...

This should be quick. If you own a M5040 or M7040 with Agriculture Tires can you give me the width between the inner front tires and the inner rear tires? I need these numbers, so I can figure out my planting row widths. Chuck

If you have any experience with either of these I would love to hear from you. We plant transplants threw mulch. It appear either of the above unit will do the job. I have not seen either in action so I would love to hear your feedback. One other problem I have is in the winter we plant...

The money difference between the two tire seems to not be much. But before I say I need Agri tires I thought I better ask you guys/gals. My use is pulling discs, tilling, and plowing in a field. I was told Ag. does better in mud, but Indus will last longer. I need your opion regarding the...

What is a Drawbar Clevis? What does it do? What is it used for? Thanks Chuck "Still learning"

Well, thanks to this forum I have decided to purchase a M Series over the L Series. I have a few questions on the M Series? A) How much more expensive is the M7040 over the M5040? {Seems everyone prefers the 70} B) What would be a good prices for the M5040 and M7040? C) All the M have a...

I prefer buying from a company someone has had a good experience with. Of course prices is always a factor, too. Saying that I live in California, but I have yet to find a resonable priced dealer. I travel to and from Wyoming all the time, thus this opens up my purchase possiblities. 1st...

I was talking to a dealer today and he told me that the L4240, L4740 with a cab will only come with the HSTP transmission. He said, Kubota will not be putting any of the GST transmission with the cab option. I find this hard to believe since the GST is great transmission. Besides why would...

I currently have a B7800 and love it, but I need more. I am on 5 acres and am discing and rototilling. The B7800 is keeping up, but it is a hard workout. I can hear it in the trany when pulling the discs behind. So... I am going to purchase a L Series Tractor to give me a little bit more...

Ok, This should be an easy. I live in Southern California. Looking at the shop manual it shows Above 77 use 10W-30 or 10W-40. I went to my dealer and they said to use 15W-40. <font color="red"> Who do I belive? What do you use? </font> Thanks Chuck
