Looking at a VERY gently used 2013 M6040. Looks new, <80 hours, very close to me. Planning on going to look at it in more detail tomorrow, and spend some time with it. I have been debating the right tractor for me for the 80 acres we purchased, and this seems big enough to do 90%+ of anything that I would want outside of a full blown hay operation (which I am probably better off hiring out on shares anyway). Key things are mowing (see below), maintaining a 1/4 mile drive, building a shooting range and backstop, general maintenance of the land and some cattle.
What I know:
2013 Kubota M6040 4x4
64hp turbo diesel
Two stacks of rear wheel weights
Joystick loader
left hand reverser
two sets of rear hydraulics
Asking: $32K
tier 2 emissions, seems like a good thing to not have to deal with all the new stuff...
cab, with working heat/air/stereo (will confirm tomorrow)
Was used at an apartment complex for snow removal, and the last few years haven't had all that much snow. Owner is selling because they bought a skid steer and decided to use that for snow removal.
Open questions:
1) This is virtually no usage on a 6+ year old tractor. Anything I should be looking for that could be an issue from sitting too much?
2) I will likely use this for mowing/etc. From my research, it seems that this should pull an 8' mower easily, and likely a 10'. Any thoughts on this?
3) General thoughts on this price? It is strange because the thing is nearly new from a usage perspective, but realistically 6 years old, so all warranties, etc. are over.
The only other interesting used tractor near me seems to be an M5-091 with 700 hours, but that thing is $44K. A lot more tractor, but not sure the extra weight/HP are actually useful for what I need?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts/help.
