Compact 30-50hp Shopped OUT!: Deere, Kabota, NH, Massey & Mihindra

[radios1]

how about a nice sickle bar mower attachment? even sub compact tractors can run a 5'. think of how fast you can mow your grass with that!.. there's reel mowers too, that will give you a professional golf course look, and you can get those very wide too!.. why a belly mower that don't actually cut the grass, and isn't very wide anyway??..

I wonder why your Kubota dealer didn't have you check out the Grand L series as you wanted a mmm.

This seems to be a common misconception. There is no mower deck for the Grand L60s. I think previous Grand Ls could be specced with them, but the option is no longer offered.

You can get a front mount flail mower, that's it for Kubota factory offerings on the LXX60s.

My post was kind of lengthy, but I should of added a few more things I致e added as dealer installed options.
-Rim Guard in the tires. I believe it to be beet juice actually.
-Turf tires, biggest footprint I could get I surly could use multiple treads for my chores, but sacrificing to just one was a tough decision. Turf won out mainly b/c that痴 what I have now on my Case tractor...and it works nicely.
-Block Heater for those 0F days that I値l need to push snow
-7ft back drag dual purpose snow pusher. I really wanted 8ft. Was worried about traction.

I also upgraded the front loader bucket to 72in. Also upgraded the stereo to a Kenwood Bluetooth.

Upon receiving, I値l do some more upgrades myself, like full COB LED light bars (snow pushing).

Attachment wise, I have a 60in 3pt tiller. Quick hitch, 36 forks (skid mount), 60in roller.... which I now want to update to a 72? I値l probably hold off for now and recover somewhat on the wallet.... but I still have a wish list.

I recently purchased the 1735M, not the deluxe cab. I purchased LED lights and had the dealer put them on the front and rear. I purchased my own blue tooth stereo and had the dealer install. They also installed a block heater. I had them fill my rear tires with beat juice also. I have the larger oversized bucket on mine. The sound from the factory speakers are not great. I removed my cab roof and installed new JBL speakers that sound way better. The factory cab speakers are the bottom end of Clarion, they are stamped with 25W max on the back of them. My Bluetooth stereo was overpowering them. Taking the cab roof off was easy and it is very light, and easy job. If you plan on doing some of your own maintenance I noticed taking the cab roof off looks like the only way to change some of your air filters.

I love my tractor so far. Only two issues I had was a loose hydraulic fitting on my loader that sprayed fluid on my windscreen and a loose coolant hose that slowly was leaking coolant. If you have the larger loader you will have to learn to feather the controls so it doesn't bounce your FEL and tractor around, but it's easy to do. I use my bucket to plow snow, float mode is the best mode to use it in unless you want to scrape up ice or something. On the left side of your tractor under your mat in the cab you have a grease point for your brakes, don't forget about that one.

Yeah, for some strange reason, Massey doesn't make the deluxe cab in the 1735M, you have to jump up to the 1740M. It's a big price jump too, not sure you're missing all that much.

I was originally going to go with the 1735Mcab, really a much better deal as the measly 5hp jump gets you like 5 Grand more in costs! (hence some of that is the deluxe cab).

Glad you really likey yours, I hope I do as well on mine!

Yes, I think you will like yours. I was at my dealership the other day and he ordered the 1740M and 1750M without deluxe cabs because the ones he had in were deluxe and he had a difficult time selling them for the increased price. Don't get me wrong, they are very nice, but 3 to 5 grand extra can be a deal killer for some people. I did love the air ride seat though in the one I tried, that was the only thing swaying me in that direction, in the end I just went with the 1735M. I am sure you will love it, both standard and deluxe cabs are very nice.

I see a few people suggesting getting a separate mower over mmm for various reasons or even a rfm. How much does a mmm option cost for this size tractor? Exact price not needed, just wondering.

First post on the forums! This thread actually made me join. Interested in a 1735M with a cab, but not sure how I would like the cab when mowing. Would be interested in pictures if you have them with the MMM attached.

When I was shopping Kubota it was under $400 on the Grand L series if I ordered the tractor

Not sure how much they would charge to install one
