Kubota M5640SUD ????

Those are great units. I expect if the price is decent it will not last long. It is hard to find decent used machines around here like that at a reasonable price. Lots of time it's just easier to buy new and get a new warranty.

I don't know if this is the case for this model or not, or even if it would be a problem for you Gordon, but it's worth checking out: on some "special utility" models, the loader is not easily removed like on the rest of Kubota's lineup. Again, not sure about this model.

Fortunately it is the quick connect - off and on in a couple minutes.

Thanks for the good input everyone! It is a 2012. So pre tier IV (Right?) which is a plus to my old fashioned way of thinking. Never thought that the loader may not be removable. Not really sure how much it matters to me but I definitely want to know. Waiting for a reply on that.

That other link was from when I was looking at the one I posted photos on, I think it ended being the pre EGR model, where as a new 2014 5640SU I looked at (9.5 24 and 16.9-28) was EGR. Don't think I'd be too afraid of EGR, even though I'd prefer without.

I wish I had big front tires.

9.5-16 are the tallest tires kubota puts on a HST tractor:banghead: Wish I could get some 20, 22, or 24" rims up front.

Do you have a kubota dealer near by? The new M5660SU is basically the same tractor just a newer version. So if you want to get a feel for just how big it is, start there.

M5660SU is "basically" the back half an M7040SUHD (LH hydraulic shuttle with right side gear and range shifters) with a DPF fitted 5640SU engine if I remember right.

They'd be slow seller in Canada since they were under the 60 PTO HP sales tax cut off. As it was a new M5640SU ended up being about the same price as an M7040SU due to sales tax.

Went out and took a look at it today. Tractor and box blade (Woods BSM84). I didn't see any issues and liked it.

It looks nice Gordon. It would be a great tractor for you.

 

[Farmer495]

Looks sharp, single remote and radio. SSQA and QA loader. Bucket looks like it's right off a skidsteer.

Yes, some nice basic "extra's" on there already. You should have no problems selling your tractor on c/l, especially after this winter. Grab it Gordon and "write it off" against all that logging money

It is. He put it on just so I could test it. The actual bucket is at another location and has not been used. He had a pair of forks with a thumb on it. So there is a 3rd function diverter too.

Hmmmm ...... Like they say - In order to end up with a small fortune from logging you have to start out with a large fortune.
