Hi, my Kubota M7060 has flat faced hydraulic connectors for the front loader hydraulic hookup. I have a lot of different implements, and EVERY time I go to change them out the hydraulics in the attachment are so pressurized I cannot connect the hoses. It does not matter how much I try and...

Folks, about a year ago I purchased an AGF 180 ditch flail mower that's provided outstanding services. The two hydraulic cylinders allow me to push back brush, cut offset, cut otherwise dangerous banks, etc. But sadly the machine suffered a serious bearing failure about a month ago and is now...

I have a Kubota M7060 tractor and I'm deeply embarassed to say - that I have absolutely no idea what filters this tractor takes. Oil filter, hydraulic filter, etc. The manual gives instructions, diagrams, tells me the fluid types, etc. But absolutely nothing about what actual filters I need...

I have a Kubota M7060 tractor with a 5' bushhog that I use for clearing brush. It works very well, but there are many areas of my property where I need something offset from the tractor that can clear the brush. Example, fence lines where there is a lot of overhanging brush. I also have...

I picked up a John Deer 500c several months back. She runs great, starts right up every time, hydraulics are strong with no leaks (once I replaced a few hoses). BUT I do have one issue: The instrument panel on the machine is dead. Looks like someone shorted it out at some point and/or just...

I've got an old John Deere 500C backhoe and I've removed 6 hydraulic hoses (with much effort). One had a pinhole leak and the others looked very rough. So I just pulled them off. The problem is that I have no idea how to match these hoses to new ones. I do not know their max operating...

Hi folks, very new and inexperienced back hoe owner here. I just bought a vintage JD 500C and I noticed some liquid dropping from the hoe joint (boom and stick?). Here's a video I shot. I'm thinking a leaky hose. You can see what almost looks like smoke and even a drip of fluid. Any ideas...

I've always wanted a backhoe, mainly for pond maintenance, burying debris, digging stumps, repairing/replacing utility lines, and anything else that requires digging. A friend offered up what he thinks is a mid 80's 500C and I jumped at it. It's a fine running machine and he's giving it to me...

Hi Folks, I'm paying $150 each way to get my equipment to/from my local dealer. I understand the charge as it's around 2 hours round trip, but I'm getting sick of paying $600/year on top of my service costs. So I'm looking for a trailer capable of transporting my Kubota M7060 and other...

Good Morning, I'm in the process of refurbishing an old diesel tank that's been exposed for 20+ years. Fortunately it looks like it's been painted at least twice in its life and there is only surface rust. I drained the tank (which was nearly empty) of what looked lik a mix of disel and motor...

I maintain about 1/4 mile of rural driveway, connected to a 2 mile private road where I also am responsible for a good amount of maintenance. I currently primarily rely on a 6' adjustable blade, which I can swing relative the ground and side to side to cut / pull gravel out of ditches. My...

I thought I would post my impression after my tough Kubota vs. Mahindra vs. John Deere decision outlined here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/buying-pricing-comparisons/367154-my-journey-mahindra-vs-john.html. I chose to go with a used Kubota M7060 and thought I would share my inexperienced...

Hi everyone, I took delivery of a gently used 2014 M7060 with 400 hours on Saturday and while it is a wonderful machine I do have one issue. The parking brake is engaged via the gear shifter, it slides up and left into a special position. It goes in easily, BUT it doesn't like to come out. It...

I thought I would post my recent experience selecting a "new" tractor for my property. First some background. I own 180 acres of mixed woodlands and fields. The fields are leased for hay production but it is my responsibility to maintain the fence lines. We have a major Russian Olive...
