kubota 7040su

[mdelmarcelle]

I own an M7040SUD, and I like it a lot. I was looking for a bigger tractor. Previous tractor was a Massey Harris (similar MF) 50. I wanted something with more power and weight, but I didn't need a full blown ag tractor. The 7040 has done all I've asked of it. The FEL can lift quite a bit. For example, I'm building a retaining wall with boulders. The tractor has lifted rocks that must be close to 3000lbs (it's rated to lift more than that to 1.5 meters I believe).

The tractor doesn't have all the fancy features you can get on tractors these days, but the technology it does have is proven. And, I'm not using the tractor 8 hours a day. I put about 180 hours on it the first year. Because of that, the SUD version was a good fit and good price. I'd definitely recommend it

i completely agree. having gone previously with L & MX models, to me there is no comparison for (what i do) with the M series. much more tractor all around. yes, the Grand L series have lots of extras, but i prefer the guts of ag models. the 7040 is a great tractor, arguably one of the most versatile utility tractor's around. i have never looked back with my 8540. although the SU model is a bit more bare bones, lesser L's and Grand L's cannot compare. thankfully (almost to a fault) Kubota has something for everyone. good luck
