Having a blast with our new M62

[MutzFarm]

Thank you Richard.... it's on the way... so far just the 84" loader bucket, a 24" and a 12" backhoe buckets but wow, I have no doubt I'll have more attachments than shoes in no time.

I must say, this entire thread could a WIKI for this tractor, it's GREAT, I'm only on page 1 and have already learned more than I have from the dealer I bought it from... god bless you all for creating such an awesome orange community.

I only have the 24" bucket. I was gonna get a 12", but the pivot point for the thumb is wider than 12". So digging deeper than the bucket i would gouge that area in the ground. They do make a 16" and a 18". I havent decided yet which to get as the 24" works great.

Some people say 24" for a 3/4 inch pipe seems like a waste. I said when you can get in the hole move it around, glue fitting, change something you will get spoiled versus laying on your belly assuming you stuck it all together correctly.

WIKI.... Thats great.

I have had people contact me on here, Facebook, my website, find my phone number, etc and ask me many, many questions about the M62 and some have purchased on the information I have given. Of course Kubota will probably never know. O well. I got a AWESOME machine.

OMG... that was the only thing I wished the M62 had when I ordered it... a cab, not an aftermarket but a K OEM....
Jen

More power and a cab with Air Conditioning would be the only way I would get rid of mine.

You take beautiful pictures, what camera were you using? SCRATCH THAT..you answered it.. freaking beautiful pics..
Jen

I have always used my samsung galaxy phone. OF course sometimes it is the new version and sometimes its not.....lol. Also used for the videos.

Which of the EA grapples (which length/model) is it?

Disregard... you have a video of it, 72"... PS: What the ****'s that red thing with Mahindra written on it? The thing with the radiator chocker block full of hay? LOL

Thanks
Jen

That Mahindra is long gone. It wasnt a bad machine for personal use, but once I got customers it couldnt keep up and started falling apart. IN 5 years I put over 900 hours on the Mahindra. Just started smoking, weird noises, kinda knicking under the seat. It was time. I put over 800 hours on the M62 in the FIRST year I had it really uping my game around the farm and tackling a couple new customers. It never quit. Acted like it wanted MORE !!!!

Good seeing new members on here. Im on here more in the winter when it is to cold out or in the summer when it is to hot out.

I can tell you a lot about the 5.9 Dodges.
My 2007 Dually. The one you see in the pictures is the last of the 5.9. It has approx 270,xxx miles on it. No problems till now. Just going through oil. Bout a quart a month. I just havent hunted down the leak yet. Been busy.
I did have to rebuild the front end. Did it myself. I spent $2k in parts. I developed the DEATH WOBBLE. It scared me like you wouldnt believe. I have slid around a clover leaf covered in ice while driving a 18wheeler loaded to the gills with beer and it didnt scare me now where near like that wobble did. No accident in either situation.
My wife has a 2004 Dodge 2wd 3/4ton. I bought as a back up vehicle. She loves it. Has 489,xxx miles and still going strong. It does go through a quart of oil bout every 3-4 weeks. I havent got under it yet to see if it is a leak or using it. Either way a quart of oil a month is still cheaper than a truck payment.

Be glad that you live where your vehicles don't rust to pieces in front of your eyes,and your roads don't develope pot holes and frost heaves as fast as or faster then they get built.

Ya huge not a great idea...but definitely get a beefy one. Skid steer quality.

I spent enough time patching up my last piece of crap titan grapple to know that wasn’t going to happen again. I didn’t care how much it cost I was buying a good one. My Favor has 1” ar400 tines and the lids are on greased pivots and gusseted for reinforcement. It still weighs less than 700 pounds. I haven’t used it a lot yet but I don’t see any weak points from my last grapple tearing up experience and I think it’ll hold up.

I think there should be a TBN rule that every M59/M62 owner is REQUIRED to attach a picture to every post so we can drool over it. :thumbsup:

NO!, NO!, NO!
I DO NOT want to see MORE M62 pictures!
It is just too painful to look at them!
I have enough aches and pains already!
