- Kubota M7040 cab/hyd shuttle - current, Kubota L3400 - traded
I am somewhat close to pulling the trigger on a Kubota M7040. Given I have a Kubota now, I'm very comfortable with the brand.
I happened upon some posts in the forum on NH 4030s and have decided that it is worth checking them out before I make a final call. The main thing that sent me down this path is realizing that the cab height is only 91.4" on the NH but 101 on the Kubota. I have a pole barn that I clean out once a year which is 100 inches where the Kubota will not fit but the NH will. I can clean it out with my MF 255 but this was just an interesting point.
A number of folks here have a M7040. Not sure how many have a NH 4030. If you have tried both these models or have any suggestions on what I should be comparing between them, please let me know. Particularly interested on thoughts on the NH as I really don't know much about it. I plan on visiting a dealer on Saturday to give it a whirl.
Should I expect equal quality, reliability from both? Where is the NH made?
I would be getting the hydraulic shuttle on either.
