Kubota M7060 vs JD 5075E; Kubota DPF

[Deerherd]

You may want to look at the LS 7040. Still tier III, more speeds, 540/750/1000/GS PTO, Hydraulic power shuttle with hi/lo, three rear remotes etc. It may be more tractor than you have been looking at but you could save some cash. I bought the 88 hp version and it's been a great problem free tractor.

Good luck in your search!

Going with the Kubota. The lift arm range if motion is not as great as the deere which I don't like but I'll make it work. The deere lifts 37" vs the 33 to 35 of the kubota. Just doesn't carry the mx6 cutter as high as the deere.

However, really disappointed in the gear range shifter foot throttle and vibration.

Got to finalize the deal but does 44.7k sound about right with the loader?

Are you getting the 12 speed transmission? Is there a tire size difference between the deere and the Kubota? Maybe you can have larger tires (front and rear) put on the Kubota.

Yes 12 speed. The gear speeds are pretty high compared to the others so probably won't ever get out of low most the time.

The tires on the Kubota are 30 vs the deere's 28.

You don't like the 3 pt lift and you're really disappoiinted in the gear range, shifter, foot throttle and vibration? 45k seems like a lot of money for a tractor you are really disappointed with.

Sorry looks like I didn't complete my thought. Ha. No the Deere 5075e is out because of the vibration, throttle position, and shifter. Would like the Deere M but it's too much money.

Does the 7060 have cast rear wheels? A worthwhile option for a lighter machine IMHO.
Good luck with your purchase and enjoy.

No cast. The rears are filled.

Going to add the rear weight. Between wheel weights and the cast iron discs any benefit to you or the other?

Cast Centers are the best if you want permanent weight addition. Depending on wheel size how much gain you get. My 30" centers weigh 750lbs.

Wheel weights are the best if you want weight you can easily remove. Down side is it's hard to get significant weight gain with them and they are expensive. I have 1 on each side for a weight gain of 250lbs total.

Fluid weight is the best for most weight added. Down side is dealing with it if you have a flat. I used Windshield Washer fluid so it was very cheap, non corrosive and I gained 1500lbs total.
