A couple days ago, my joystick failed in the furthest down (towards the driver) position. It no longer rests in the "center" position (I poorly drew in where the normal center position would be in green, in this photo). My left, right, and up joystick positions all work as expected, but I have...

I've had a 3pt auger for a long time, and been what I would consider "barely satisfied" with it. It does the job, but not with finesse. My biggest complaint is that a 6 inch hole has a way of turning into a 12", and a 12" has a way of turning into an 18". I just sold my 3 pt, and I'm buying a...

Hey Folks, Looking to add a 14,000lb 4 post lift to my shop. I have a mini ex that weighs about 8500lbs, and a Kubota M5040, with loader, and filled tires, that probably weighs about the same. Both have very short wheelbases (81" for the kubota, and the tracks are 85" long on the mini ex)...

I need to up my fuel delivery game to a 55 gallon barrel, instead of carting 5 gallon race jugs back and forth. I'd like to go with a 55 gallon drum, with a 115v 15GPM fill rite transfer pump, water/particulate filter, and auto stop fill nozzle. Fuel delivery isn't an option for me, I'll be...

I have a number of burn piles I need to do this year. Gubberment regulations, and common sense say that I need to have a water source nearby, but unfortunately I don't. I have a Kubota M series, and a 250 Gallon pallet tank (like one of these: 250 gallon liquid shipping container tank ibc lot of...

I recently bought a grapple, that I would like to hook up to my rear remotes (I won't be using it very often, and couldn't justify the cost of a dedicated loader 3rd function). I'm trying to buy the right hoses, fittings, and quick couplers that I need online, but I'm having trouble identifying...

I recently bought a Kubota M5040 (HD/4WD/ROPS), and had gone back and forth for months (years?) before making my choice. A lot of the reason I bought this particular Kubota was the impressive lift capacity in the Loader. I really wanted to be able to unload a pallet full of material from the bed...

In my search for an M5040, I've had a few dealers tell me that Kubota is getting rid of the M5040 (one even said he couldn't order it anymore), and replacing it with the M5140. Does anyone know anything about this?

Over the last few months of tractor research, I have continued to lust after a Kubota M5040. Mostly because of the LA1153's impressive lift capacity numbers. The other day I discovered that the JD 50XX series will take a 553 loader, which is at least comparable to a Kubota LA1153, and possibly...

Good afternoon! So I've narrowed my choices for my new tractor down to either an M5040, or a NH TC55DA. I'm located on the Central Coast of California (Near San Luis Obispo), where prices are high, and selection is limited. Right now I am borrowing dads 1980's Kubota M series. Based on my...

Hey Folks -- Right now I'm borrowing my dads 1980's Kubota M4700. Its a good dependable tractor, but I hate borrowing dad's stuff for fear of breaking it! I'd also like to upgrade to something with a heavy duty FEL. Every few months I come home with 3500lbs of palletized material (cement...
