I am a new Kubota owner, I got a great financing rate for 5 years at 0%. I have a 5640 MFWD and have been using it for the last 3 months. I also run a sawmill and this is keeping up with everything-including logging, sawdust and lumber/scrap removal. An extremely important tool that I hope to have around for a few decades! I have moved countless yards of dirt and sawdust, and the skidsteer quick load system allows me to change from plow to forks to bucket in less than a minute! It has a rear remote-not exciting I guess but it is the first tractor I have used that had one...I plan on putting a log grapple on my forks and angle the snowplow with this remote-not there yet. This tractor has very large front tires and has not even begun to get stuck in mud that has been up to the axles (I am sure that the new rubber helps out there alot!). It is a great tractor that is meeting all of my needs so far-I also made a canopy for it out of the same tubing that the ROPS bar is made, as I am a little scared of bringing a load up too high and dumping it on myself. Sounds crazy, but people have died that way and just want to be safe...Cost me $400 in new steel and a fiberglass cap only connected at the back would have been $500!!

Congratulations on your tractor, I really like the M Series Kubota, very good machines. We have the limited slip differential on ours and have gone through dragging the frame, on the occasion it got a bit too deep, we just used the bucket to get out.

Thanks for the welcome...do you have the 5640? I only ask because I see the picture attached to your post looks similar to mine but has a cab, and I was told there is no cab available for 5640's. Is that true?

No, ours is an 8540HDC, I can't operate open station tractors anymore.
