Any M7040 Issues

[AllDodge]

Found a open rops M7040 for I think a good price. Its 2012 w 1200 hours, 2 remotes, R4 tires and Quickie 51 loader. Does show where it has leaked a bit with the loader connections. Think its a 8 speed, and wonder if there where any issues with with this model tractor that should be looked for?

I had a 2008 M5040 (same tractor, less HP) for 10 years. I own a retail mulch business and do snow Removal. It was never back to the shop for anything. Rock solid machine.

Cool, sounds like it might be worth the 21500 they want for it.
Was thinking of getting a 12 foot bat wing and could probably use a tad more HP (list 67) or just stay out of the heavy stuff

The Quicke loaders are good loaders, but that may be keeping price down as it's not a kubota loader. I would make sure all fluids have been changed...radiator, hydraulic, etc...

I think the M7040 was one of Kubota's best tractors. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to have another one.

Agree...
When I traded for my 2012 T4.75 the dealer serviced and checked out the unit including cabin filters which had never been changed...
That is a good price...
I'll put a Quicke loader up against anything out there...
Aftermarket loaders do tend to lower the price somewhat over factory...
I would not be hesitant to buy that unit...
1200 hours is barely broken in...
Keep us updated and post pictures if you purchase...
The 40 series is a great tractor...

The irony is that Quicke makes Kubota orange and Kubota decalled loaders as well as OEM loaders for Case IH, NH, MF, Fendt, etc.

Quicke is the only "aftermarket" loader that is actually an OEM.

I have a US built Kubota loader, nothing wrong with it.

Thanks guys, going to need to take a closer look

That's absolutely correct Quicke/ ALO makes great stuff. My Massey factory 936x is built by Quicke. Excellent loaders. My only point was to the OP that some people may throw their nose up to a Non Kubota OEM loader as far as resale. He being the buyer has this to his advantage

Been looking at this one for a month, M6800 with low hours, the main issue for me not calling is its 4 hours away to go have a look. The M6800 has a tad more HP but the PTO HP is the same. This is a good setup and would like to have it, but its a 2005 and is more then the local one. If its legit not bad
