Hi everyone,
I am an avid reader of everyones posts and for the most part have been able to find almost anything out from many of you.
I am now caught up in a decision that i cant seem to find an answer too.
I went to my local kubota dealership and the owner let me test drive a cab m108s which was the 32x32 transmission. this was the biggest tractor i have ever used and i really liked the hydraulic shuttle transmission. the power on the thing seemed to be endless and i was very impressed with it to say the least. i am just wondering if anyone has one of these out there and if they have had any trouble with it. i currently have a m6800 that is a little over three years old with around 300 hours on it. it has the stohl fel and a bradco rear backhoe which i have not been impressed with either one at all. i started out originally with a L3830 with the factory fel and backhoe which was a dream to run. i now have a 235 acre farm with a little over 100 acres of mowing and was wondering if anyone has had any of these larger m series tractors with the fuel injection. i have about 125 acres to keep mowed all summer and was wondering about hp requirement versus what works best for running a 15' batwing or a 21' flail mower. he is currently offering me 32500 for my traded m6800 and the m108s is spec'd out with 18.4x34 radials and cast iron center with the 32x32 hydraulic trans and a kubota fel with the self leveling valve and the 3rd function on the loader, it will also have the tank skid and optional 3pt hitch hydraulic lift arms. the price was right around 55000, and also this is for the open station model and my m6800 is a cab model, just curious if anyone had any thoughts or ideas.
thanks
