    How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

    I did look at the Yanmar YT359 briefly before buying the Kubota L6060 but there weren’t many dealers within even a couple hour drive and the one I did visit closed early that day after driving 1.5 hours to go see it. So I wasn’t able to drive it or operate it. When I called them to get a quote...

    How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

    Do you know the city they are in by chance and I can Google to find the dealership name? I did get quotes from a dealer not too far from Cincinnati before but that was the only one I worked with.

    How are actual sale prices vs MSRP currently for Kubotas (or other manufactures)?

    We bought a brand new Kubota L6060 with a heavy duty box blade, bucket, loader, 3rd function, 3 sets of rear remotes, pallet forks, and a post hole auger all out the door for $45K back in April 2020 which was about 11% under MSRP at the time. Less than a year later we got unexpected orders to...

    Which Brand/Model has largest HST Tractor?

    Greetings, I'm curious what the largest (weight, lift capacity, etc), most capable tractor is on the market today with an HST transmission? Are there any nearing the Utility class size in weight and performance? Our last tractor was a Kubota L6060 which is still on the smaller side. We are...

    Which Brands/Models Have Power Shuttle Options in the Compact Utility Tractor Class?

    Greetings, I've been a long time member of the forum. Active duty Air Force member who got unexpected orders to move overseas to Germany 2.5 years go which meant selling our acreage and my beloved Kubota L6060 tractor to another member on here. We are returning to the States (Ohio) this...

    Taking delivery of new JD / Canceled Kubota Order

    BMC330- How are you liking the 5075E? I've always been a die hard Kubota fan. Have owned 35 hp, 40 hp, Grand L6060, and 2 skid steers with Kubota engines. I'm active duty US Air Force nearing retirement and we finally had the opportunity to go overseas. We have 1.5 years left before we move...

    Swapping attachments with hydraulic fluids? Any concerns?

    This was my thoughts exactly. I’ll most likely buy new unless I find a deal I can’t pass up when the time comes. Same with most of the attachments. I used to do the same thing with my HST tractors. Sold my L6060 when we got orders to Germany I bled all the fluid from the lines before...

    Swapping attachments with hydraulic fluids? Any concerns?

    Would there be any concerns about cross contamination of hydraulic fluids by using grapples between a Kubota tractor (M4/M5) and a Kubota skid steer (SVL 75-2). What about between same tractor and a JCB skid steer? I’m active duty military in Germany currently so I can’t just go to a local...

    Kubota L6060?

    I hope you love it. We are missing it already as the weeds are starting to grow in our pasture 😉. We have a couple interested in our property and they just saw it for the second time yesterday with their realtor. They reached out for our email information this morning so hopefully that means...

    You aren’t kidding but he’s one heck of a nice guy and I look forward to meeting him in person this week. I’m gonna miss this tractor for sure. Had a couple hour discussion with a friend yesterday at lunch because he is thinking about starting a Christmas tree farm. Anyhow he was interested...

    I’ll give them a call, that is a good idea. Only downfall would be it would sit outside. Which I know won’t hurt anything.. I just like to keep things protected. It sat right next to my F-150 up until a couple weeks ago when we sold it. It had rarely, if ever spent the night outside either
