    Kubota M8540 hydro shuttle use

    Seems a little late for me to ask (2012 unit with over 2000hrs all by me) but am I not supposed to use the foot clutch to do close work like loading bales with a grapple etc? Early on I tried to use the throttle and brake to feather things but just not enough finesse there IMO. Am I doing this...

    Is Filter 1 out of business?

    For years I have bought my tractor and pickup filters from an online place called Filter1. They carry WIX products at reduced prices. Recently, I ordered online and everything seemed to work except I got no e-mail order confirmation. Thought maybe I missed it and waited 2 weeks. Nothing. No...

    BCS 715 w Kohler 8HP Magnum

    Hey -- looking at a used BCS 715 w the Kohler 8HP motor, 24 in tiller and 26 inch snowblower. Says seals were replaced on the tiller. Blower looks pretty unused. Price seems a bit high (1800) but I really have no idea. Thoughts on this machine based on my limited info? Kohler motor pretty...

    Explanation of Kubota LA1353 loader specs

    I have a M8540 w LA1353 loader and need to unload and place some retaining wall blocks (we called them ecology blocks back in the day) - 46”x18”x21”. Looking at the spec sheet for my loader I see 2 sets of capacities (not pin placement). One says capacity bucket center. The other says pivot...

    Vicon (now Kubota) Pendulum Spreaders

    I'm looking to buy a decent (not Chinese crap) spin spreader and saw Vicon had some that looked good. Now it appears that Kubota bought Vicon and is marketing the spreaders under their own label -- ex VS 400. Anyone have experience with either the Vicon originals or the Kubota version? Vicon...

    Wunderbar Attachments

    Hi - I'd like to hear from anyone who has used the Wunderbar system from Woodward Crossing. I have a couple of hiller discs from them along with clamps but haven't done anything with them (yet). In particular, I want to know how the undercutter/"carrot lifter" attachment seems to work. The...

    Dearborn 2 BTM plow help

    I've got a Dearborn 2 btm 3 pt plow that was often run behind the Ford 8Ns and such. Well I don't have the N anymore but still would like to use this plow behind my now larger CAT 2 hitch tractor BUT the pin on one side of the plow is too short and has since been cutoff. My question is how is...

    Gator dead?

    I just tried to look at Gator Attachments website (no go) as well as their FB page (last entry Christmas 2010). Anyone know if they're toast?

    Continuing Kubota saga

    I've been looking at the Kubota 7040 and 8540 and have appreciated all the great input from the users here at TBN. To update, my local dealer has a 8540 w/ cab, loader, 12sp shuttle shift trans that they are really motivated to sell. I asked for a 3rd function on the joystick and a set of...

    JD 5083e -opinions?

    Well - I've been checking out the orange machines (Kubota) in the 70-80HP range but recently came across a JD 5083e w/ cab/MFWD and loader w/ only 25 hrs on it. Asking price is almost ($44,000) $10,000 less than comparable Kubota (as best I can tell). So what does the "e" series mean for JD...

    M series assistance please

    First, I should have been posting under this Kubota heading instead of under the General forum - my apologies to those who've already seen some of my questions. I'm looking at buying a Kubota M series tractor and am considering the M7040 vs M8540. I run a hay and cow/calf operation so plenty...
