I recdntly purchased a 2014 M7040 with 2700 hours on it. I bought it from the local grren dealer after he took it in on trade and I ran it around the lot for a few minutes and it ran/worked fine. The last 2-3 times that I have used it, after 30-40 minutes it begins to sputter and dies. It...

In my area a major storm is coming and because my wife is very ill, I was readying the M7040 and blower so I could keep our lane open for medical supplies or an ambulance. I backed the tractor out of its storage location and was getting ready to drive it into my heated work shop. When I got out...

Can anyone tell me if there is a difference between the cabs on the 7040 and the 7060? I want to put a buddy seat in my 7060 so my little girl can ride in cab with me. Found one on Amazon but it states fits the 7040. Can't seem to get a clear answer on if it'll fit the 7060 cab or not...

I have had a Kubota L4400 4wd for about 18 years now. Love it. Great tractor. Has fit my needs perfectly for years. Lately I have been considering a larger tractor but not seriously. I recently got a portable sawmill and hauling large logs is taxing the L4400. Plus, my daughter and her husband...

I have a Kubota M7040 open canopy tractor. Will a Kubota BH90 backhoe attachment work on this tractor?

I'm asking because I still haven't got used to the poorly designed way the emergency brake is set up on the M7040. That and the driver needs to pay attention more :P I keep driving off with it still engaged so it must be taking a toll on them. I don't even know what type of brakes they are...

I called the Kubota dealer and asked them if the snow blower was ready for me to pick up (they had to cut the PTO shaft_ and they said yep. Sweet, They load it on the trailer and I've finally got it home. I picked it off my trailer and started to hook everything up. Got the lifting arms set up...

First off I have two disclaimers: 1. Only did the fronts so far.....will do the rears in a couple days. 2. My perspective is that of a first time tractor owner with zero experience.....ever on a tractor. I found a lot of R4 tire grooving info but only on tractors up to about an L series Kubota...

Hi all, As it says I'm trying to find a rear window wiper kit if they are available. I haven't been able to find anything so far and I'd like to have an idea what they should cost before I ask the dealer. My glass already has plugged holes in the back glass and all of the associated wiring and...

I googled and tried searching for references/part numbers for replacement wiper blades for the cab of my M7040 that aren't the expensive Kubota branded ones, but couldn't find anything. I'm sure there are better wiper blades out there and I'd like to replace them before I have to start snow blowing.

I'm a Chief Engineer on a ship, but this is my first tractor. The M7040 has a little over 400 hours and is in excellent condition. The owner changed nothing but I'm guessing he did the basic services and maintenance. Is there anything I should give particular attention to to make sure...

I'm looking to add a third function to the M7040 with the LA1153 loader. I have read that there was a factory option for the third function to be included. Before I order the WR Long kit, is there any reason to try and pursue the factory option? I haven't noticed that there are factory part...

Looks like both are built on same chassis and have same engine. The 6040 has about 64hp and m7040 about 71hp. Anyone know the difference is that adds the extra few hp? Setting on injection pump or slightly larger injectors?

I need to find the electrical wire for a 12V connection on an MX5100 or M7040. I know there's one under the fender on the M7040 but used those for work lights. Not sure on the MX. I'm hoping there's one under the seat but don't remember any. Tractors aren't here right now and any heads up would...

Bought a lightly used (800 hrs) 2013 M7040 with a front three point hitch and PTO, which has so far been an absolute pleasure to use blowing snow on our farm this winter. We're veggie farmers, so the front three point will be used to mow in conjunction with a rear cultivator for permanent beds...

My M7040 came with one of the rear remotes being plumbed for a grapple function. They ran hoses from the back, all the way to the front with a quick coupler in the appropriate spot to remove the loader. The quick couplers at the middle of the tractor have started to leak. Figure this is as good...

In filling the front hubs of my M7040, what is the oil level you should fill the front hubs to? The owner's manual is fuzzy and just says to fill until you can see it but the wheel is in the way and you can't see anything. Would it work just to open the check hole on the axle and since the axle...

When I bought my new M7040 with cab and FEL in Oct of 2012, I wanted R4 or industrial tires to minimize damage on lawns etc. rather than the R1 radials on it at the dealer. Dealer had to order tires and wheels from Kubota as the sizes and thus wheels were different than the R1 for some reason...

Here's how I did a clean and simple worklight installation on my Kubota M7040 using holes that were already there. It looks like it belongs. I'm not a big worklight fan and think one is enough but preferably not on the ROPS where it creates shadows. Anyway, I had these two worklights on the...

Bought this sickle some months back, trying to put it to use, and running into an install problem. The mechanism that raises and lowers the blade is an attachment to the sickle, that attaches to the top link on the tractor. I had multiple holes on the tractor and put in the lowest one, and left...

My 1+ year old Kubota M7040 started smoking (blue/grey) and after getting no improvement after cleaning the fuel tank and changing the fuel filter I sent it to the dealer. Dealer discovered that fuel is getting in the crankcase (thinning the oil). Problem did not subside when hooked to remote...

I'm getting very close to pulling the trigger on an M7040 SUHD which is interim tier 4, which means I avoid the DPV filters and emissions nonsense but which doesn't have a cab (sadly). I am able to get soft ride, LA1153 loader with bucket and bale spear, filled ag tires (Keibler radial), one...

My M7040 has 130 hrs now. It is parked in an open shed. Last weekend we had a late season snow fall and I was blowing snow. The tractor was working hard and suddenly I was smelling something burning. I shut it off and jumped out to look but could not see anything wrong. I could not open the hood...

the tractor raises its lift arms without load but with the disc cant raise unless u accelerate the tractor. what might be the problem?

I have a set of Firestone 14.9" x 30" tires mounted on kubota steel wheels and filled with rim guard I want to sell. The tires have 1/2 or better tread and look good, no dry rot. The rims are lightly faded factory steel The tires are 90% filled with rim guard. What do you think they're worth?

Looking at the purchase of a Muratori MZ6 185 Rotary Tiller. It's listed as "medium duty" and at 74" wide it will cover the tracks of both our L3130 and M7040. The literature on this model rotary tiller says it's rated at 45-50HP with a MAX of 55HP. Well, my tractor choices fall between with the...

Need to know a aftermarket seat new to forum . OEM over $1500 looks like a bucket for a while.

As a bonus at work I was told to go buy myself a new tractor. I said OK... But as an engineer I am spending way too much time analyzing the options. Here is roughly what I do with a tractor: Running bushhog on a very rough 10ac a couple times a year (most the rest is woods or planted by a...

What is the proper process to bleed the fuel system? I was watching a video in another language and I noticed them mess with a screw next to the fuel shut off. What is this? My motor seems to have a bit of a knock to it that sounds like regular diesel knock but sometimes its louder than...

I just picked up a property that has about 50 acres of field that will be bush hogged... half flat and the other half very hilly. Pretty steep stuff in areas. What is everyones opinion... Looking at a Kubota m7040 to pull a 12ft bush hog... will it handle it? or do I have to go to m8540? Thanks

I bought a used 2007 Kubota M7040 3 months ago....like it a lot. It is the 2nd M7040 I've had. The first one, a 2008 model I bought new in Texas. I have a unheated but insulated barn I keep the tractor in. With this cold weather, finding the tractor turning over cold really slow. I hooked...

I have several Kubota M7040 tractors (model years between 2009-2012), all of which we run rear mount snow blowers on commercially. Each machine has the two auxiliary hydraulic circuits near the 3pt hitch. One circuit runs the chute rotation, the other runs the chute angle up/down. Since my...

I have a two year old M7040 power shuttle. I noticed this week when I started the unit the tractor would rock back and forth during warm up with the idle rpm set at 1400 rpm. Both the main transmission and shuttle were in neutral at the time.When the tractor is warm this does not occur. I have...

Bought a used M7040, and changing all the fluids/filters etc in it. The manual sales 11 gallon on how much hydraulic fluid it will hold. 11 gallon did not make it show in the dipstick. Kept adding a gallon, finally at about 14 gallon, fluid showed on the dipstick. What have you other owners...

Anyone know what could cause the steering to get stiff on a M7040 with 500+ hrs on it that's been greased and hyd oil & filters changed according to maintenance schedule? The temperature this AM in the 50's but I noticed the stiffness the other day when temp. was in the mid 80's.Thanks,Jim

The 4wd M7040 with open cab, 8F/8R hydraulic shuttle, loaded rears, 4 plates, brushguard and canopy and 30 rears is coming in at $29500. The 5075E set up the same except 28 rears and 12f/12r shuttle is just over a $1000 more. I don't know much about tractors, but the JD looks to be built...

I've got a 7040 that I use quite a bit at my family farm. It never fails that I see hogs when I am shredding or plowing. I never have a gun. I'm trying to get some ideas on where I could mount a gun rack. Anyone else have some? Thanks

I was reading the manual and it says to put the throttle at half way before turning the key to start.. Seemed odd but figured maybe they want oil to get places faster so I tried it.... !!! That just doesnt seem right! The thing shot right up to like 2k or so and just seems too harsh on a cold...

What are you guys paying? What % off list can I expect to get from a kubota dealer? Machine has single rear remote, 4x4, hydro trans, LA1153, Cab, Iron wheels, bucket, no radio and suspension seat. Near Denver but wouldnt mind traveling to a neighboring state if the deal is worth it. Thanks!

I called dealer today for outside air filter for cab air conditioning, $69 for a $10 dollar filter, where can you buy these besides the dealer? They look like an air filter for a Toyota car, I called Advance Auto Parts, they said they didn't stock any tractor filters. This is highway robbery.

Hey Guys, thanks so much for all the good recon on the M7040. Looks like I'm going to pull the trigger. HOWEVER! That Tier-4 7060 does have the 12x12 Shuttle shift. I really like the idea of the extra gears...I don't own any Tier4 stuff (yet), not sure which way is best to go. Waiting for...

Hey guys, Looking to pick up a mid-sized tractor that will primarily be used for maintenance around my 225ac farm as well as some hay making duties (raking, tedding, some baling as a back-up). Running a Kubota M108S,CAB,4WD for mowing and baling with big wagons on hilly ground. Just got it...

I am new to this forum and I am not a mechanic but here is my problem. I have a Kubota M7040 Diesel 4WD tractor with cab. After some use (and maybe abuse) by a farm employee, the fan for the air conditioner/heater stopped working. When the weather in Alabama got hot, he complained and I was made...

What are main differences in these tractors?

I need "float" on one remote control valve on my Kubota M7040 to operate a one way cylinder on a disc mower so the cutterbar can follow the ground better. My M7040 bought used has 2 set of remotes but neither set has float. I know I could plumb in a single spool aftermarket valve with float but...

How much oil usage should I expect on new m7040 engine, bought new first 50 hrs none, next 90 hrs about one third down on dip stick. I know this is not much, but I wondered what others did with this engine. I haven't added oil yet, I assume the marks on oil stick is one quart.

Anyone had the fuel return line come off the little check valve on the RH rear of the engine? The fuel line came off yesterday while cutting hay. It's a challenge to get to with loader mast in the way. Local dealer service manager told me to remove(eliminate) check valve.

Can anybody shed light on how I remove the hood on a M7040suhd kubota tractor, I think I've blown a radiator hose but I can't see where it is coming from? I can't raise the hood enough to get in there to see where the problem is. Thanks,

I have 30 to 40 acres that I want to put into food plots for deer and turkey. I am looking at the M7040 hydro-shuttle with cab. Would I be better off purchasing the M9540? I plan on keeping this tractor for the long run. The land has rolling hills.

Well I just bought it was going to buy the Massey 2635 but just got to scared of it and Kubota got me with there 0% down and 0% interest . Hope to have it home tomorrow . They had to build it and the cutter . And hope the 3rd function stuff shows so they can install it . Pics tomorrow .

Took delivery from Barlow's on the 23d of a new M7040 HD-1 with FEL and Land Pride RCF2772. They delivered within an hour of planned arrival, couldn't find a close price within 250 miles for a new rig. Our fields hadn't been mowed in 2.5 years and were fairly heavy with rose bushes, camp...

Hi all I'm new to farming and tractors and have been trying to pick what is the best tractor for my 50 acres for slashing, disc ploughing , a few other easy jobs around the farm. The sales rep only say there's are good here is my picks. Kubota m7040 with a 4in1 loader ( no cab) or a daedong...

Here is my new New M7040 HDC-1 with R4s to replace an L48. I went with the R4s as the R1s are just too agressive for what I use it for, landscape construction, farm chores, mowing, plowing, and utility work. Much bigger than a L48 which I have parked in front of it for comparison. The front...

Have m7040, not hydro shuttle, and clutch is hard and quick, one thing that I do not like about it, hard on old knees when used a lot. What do others think? It is much more uncomfortable than my jd 2155.

For those of you with 7040s, could you tell me what your idle speed is? Thanks

I don't really care for the duals, I figure they're using them for stability in the mountains but the inside singles look much wider than what you can get here in the US. I wish I could understand what they're saying in the video. Kubota M7040 Alpin - YouTube

At the advice of another member, I'm transplanting this posting from another thread. I've read through another thread regarding the same tractors from a couple years back in 2009. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/john-deere-buying-pricing/140837-jd-5083e-vs-m7040.html I'm not writing this...

I've noticed on my M7040 HDC MFWD that when turning sharp in 2wd going forward or reverse while unloading rd bales the rear tires scuff up the soil even with no bale on the hay spears. It acts as if the diff lock is depressed but it's not. Is this a characteristic of a MFWD??? This is my 1st...

Has anyone put on 360/70R20 R1 front tires in place of the 9.5x24 tires? This is the tire that Kubota puts on them in Canada. This is a 12.4 x 20 R1 tire. My dealer never heard of this tire but is not a ag dealer. Thanks.

Hoping for delivery tomorrow of a new M7040 HDC-1!! Yay! Sold 1 of my L48s which had a HST problem and took the opportunity to get one of these. I have been wanting a cab tractor bad and since I already have another new L48 I went for this. I went cab, R4s, single remote, no radio, or...

Hey guys I have a new M7040 4x4 Hydraulic shuttle and I have noticed that it has what sounds like a hissing noise or like an air leak coming from under the seat but everything works great and all the fluid levels are good, i'm not sure if its fluid bypassing a valve or what, i'm not sure if this...

Hey guys, I am looking for a factory Kubota or equivilent front weight bracket to hang some suit case weights on my M7040 so I can take my FEL off to do my bush hogging. I know my local dealer can get it but im over an hour away and its hard on the working man to get much shopping done. Any one...

Anyone know the advertised fuel consumption of a M7040 pulling a load? I pulling a 6 shank Hay King pasture renovator in hard soil and my tractor likes the fuel. 6 hrs use and one better be looking for storage tank.

Looking at a M7040, hydraulic clutch, one remote, 4x4, fel w/quick attach, canopy, grill guard and fluid in rear tires. kubota website price is 39,828. Dealer is quoting 34,459, which is a 13.5% discount off the website. I have multiple dealers around me, but this is the one I usually do...

I have a new M7040 with FEL and cab which came with industrial tires. The front tires are 12.5 x 20 MITAS which is a size not shown in my owner's manual. The tire sidewall has a cautionary label about only qualified people servicing the tire but there is not a max pressure shown to use to seat...

I'm curious about tire options and determining just how much overrun I have. I've tried to get the number from my dealer with no luck. Thanks.

I have a 2011 M7040 I bought new a year ago. Here lately I have noticed a clunking noise at low idle. Cant really tell where its coming from other than under the hood. The tractor now has about 125 hours on it and wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem before i took it to the...

The dealer delivered our new M7040 today. Snapped a few shots... Unfortunately I had to rush back to Houston, so I didn't get to drive it but for a few minutes. This tractor is WAY different than the little L3130 and it's gonna take some seat time to learn all the in's and out's. Need...

I'm "tractor shopping" for a new M7040 this week. I have quotes on 2WD and 4WD models - both with front end loaders. They look great on the dealers lot and certainly satisfy the "want" part of the equation - but I'd like a second set of eyes to assist with the "need" factor. A little...

Hi All, I was set to purchase an M7040 HDC to raise/harvest hay on 20 acres and to maintain pastures on another 55 acres. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a new M7040 HDC unit at this point. The jump to the M8560 HDC is just too much in terms of tractor and price to justify for my small...

Hi All, We bought a small family farm of 80 acres about 6 months ago. About 55 acres are going to be used for grazing cattle and maybe cutting and baling a portion that the cattle don't use. About 20 acres will be raised for hay. About another 5 acres need to be cut for brush and maintained...

Does anyone know what is the difference between these models? What is the difference from a partially synchronized transmission and a fully synchronized transmission? Thanks

It has snowed and I am getting to use my new M7040 under slippery conditions. The literature says it has a limited slip front axle but at times one front wheel just spins with the tractor stationary as both back wheels are also slipping. Tractor has 15 hrs on it. Can anyone advise what a normal...

While out feeding cows last night, I slashed the sidewall of my front right tire. The ground was wet from a 2" rain earlier in the day, and all I had was a bottle jack and some 4x4 lumber. The ground was too soft to use the bottle jack alone, and there wasn't enough clearance for the 4x4 and...

It's been an ongoing project at a pasture down the road from my house. The place is ~100 acres and has been neglected for years. The Chinese Tallow trees and yaupon have just about taken over, what was once I really nice looking pasture. It's my goal to bring back the pasture to what it once...

I purchased a M7040 cab earlier this year, and it came with a cheesy little plastic toolbox between the front left tire and the steps. I set the tires about 4" wider, and now the tires hit the toolbox. Any suggestions for an alternative mounting location for the factory toolbox or a larger...

I have been reading TBY for a long time, never left a post before but I'm about to do something crazy, want other opinions. After deciding to upgrade from a L3710 and reading countless posts, the the best tractor for my needs seems to be the M7040. The dealer has made a price of 43,000 for a...

What is ballpark price difference in a m7040 and m9540?

I put hay forks on and fed cattle for the first time with new m7040, handled two 5x5 rolls, front and rear, well, very stable on hilly ground, beginning to really like the Kubota.

Any comments on things to keep in mind when leveling a 6 foot cutter attached to the tractor 3 point hitch. And ways to adjust tail wheel when working solo. Landpride 1872 cutter

Well it looks like I've lost 4WD om my new 7040. Only 50 hrs on it with no more than 10 with the 4WD engaged. Was having some issue last week with the idiot light on the dash flashing in and out but the 4WD was definately engaged even when the light was out. I had the dealer do the 50 hr service...

I'm looking to purchase a M7040 this week and most dealers around here have no idea what a Top and Tilt kit is so I need to steer them in the right direction. The questions I have is what type of valves should I get to operate the Top and Tilt and where should I look/contact about a Top and...

Does anyone have the additional set of 4 gear ranges on their tractor? My dealer wants $900 to add the upgrade to mine. I need it fot tilling and snowblowing. Thanks in advance for you help.

Looking at purchasing a Kubota M7040 tractor. Any comments, suggestions regarding this piece of equipment. Don't know yet all the jobs but will be cutting 45 acres of grass, fence work, 1600 foot dirt/ (some gravel) road maintenance on property. Clearing and cutting wood.

Anyone that owns a 2011 M7040 HDC could you please post the Operators Manual number? I bought this tractor used with 142 hrs showing and it came without an OM. I contacted a dealer and the parts person couldn't determine the correct manual. I need to know the correct change intervals for the...

Are the brakes on a 7040 manual or hyd? I made a deal to buy a used M7040 from a tractor dealer. Dealer is located about a 3hr drive from me and I'm disabled and don't care to ride in an automobile that far so I was going off of salesman's information. Tractor only had 777 hrs on tach and from...

Hi all, I'm wondering how much of an upgrade an L5740 would be from my current 4610 (39PTO HP and LA852 Loader.) Then on the other hand, I'm wondering how much of an upgrade an M7040 would be from my 4610. The thing I don't like about my 4610 is I need more power, both in lift capacity and...

I have a Land Pride RCR2596 that I pull with a Kubota M7040. The cutter literature states that this unit has a cutting height range of 2" - 12". Currently as is, I have the hydraulic cylinder fully extended (8"). As measured on level ground, the bottom of the deck at full extension is 6" off...

Just recently bought a new m7040, cab, fel, 4wd, 28x19.9 on rear, instead of 30s, only have about 30 hrs on it so far. How does everyone like them, it seems to ride rough and stiff, have been used to a jd 2155, and it doesnt seem to ride as rough, but it is 2wd. So far I have used it to bushog...

There is an "L" bracket at the top of the adjustable side leveling rod. This bracket is spring loaded and you have to lift it up to hand screw the rod to level an implement. Problem is you need one hand to hold it up leaving you with just one hand to turn the rod. Most times you need both hands...

I am purchasing my third Kubota M7040, currently two are used for snow blowing, and one will be used for commercial plowing. I want to build a frame mount for a snow plow on the front of the tractor, and have the option of attaching a 10' snow pusher, or a snow plow with angling capabilities...

hey everyone.. our Kubota m7040 was getting along well, but then suddenly it has lost much of its hydraulic power.. especially the 3 pt hitch.. used to pick up our rotovator with ease, now won't budge the thing.. The 3 pt still goes up and down until it reaches about 500 lbs, then it won't pick...

While out mowing last week I took a little video of the tallow trees I have been mowing down. Thought I would share. At this point, I have mowed about 16 acres of the tallow trees. My plan is to come back in about 6 months and spray them with PastureGard, or something similar. After the trees...

First off I have looked and some of the information may be 'dated' here. I also have the kubota guy at my local dealership looking up the service interval and part numbers based on the serial # of my tractor. This tractor has done some decent work and it's time to do the 50Hr service. No...

Have a M7040 4x4 Cab, and have found a couple of Rhino Flex 15 Magnum mowers for sale. I'd like to purchase two complete mowers, and have one sitting as a spare. Any feedback on this combo, and if the M7040 is enough tractor to effectively mow with a 5,000# 15' batwing? The pastures are all...

My 7040 has a little over a hundred hours on it and the hand throttle slowly backs off while using the machine. Before I start tearing stuff apart, is there a friction adjustment on it? Is it easy to get to? Thanks Richard

We went over to the dealer where we got the L3940 to check on something and she noticed a shiny new M5140 and a M7040 with a cab sitting there and said I wonder how much one of those are? Well that was enough for me to ask questions. They had an M5140 with Hydraulic Shuttle and the air seat but...

Got my new M7040 4x4 Hydraulic Shuttle shift two weeks ago and really like it. No cab alo M200N loader. Just wondering what the front to rear drive ratio is on it - does anyone know? Reason I am asking is because I got the 11.2 fronts and the dealer said I needed to get 18.4 to match for the...

Hi. Im hunting the sqeek sound on my M7040. A nice gentleman on TBN, Greg Hammerstein had the same problem on his Kubota M7040, and Kubotas serviceman knew exactly was it was and removed this unit and behind he found metal shavings that creates this sqeek sound on idle when the oil is warm...
