How long does it take to remove the loader? Are there any issues?

Uh oh, Eddie's got a tractor itch.:cool2:
If it's like mine, just a few minutes.

It's getting bad too!!! 4 wheel drive with a cab and a loader with that much HP would be just about perfect!!!!

Less than 5 min. It’s the same design on our M8540. Drop the legs. Pull the pins. Unhook the four hydro hoses. Thats about it. Just make sure you have all the pressure off the lines or it’s hard to get the hoses hooked back up.

Theres even a very cheap option Kubota offers that disconnects all 4 hoses for the loader with one handle.

I have the single lever hydraulic manifold on my M9960, and it's not cheap.

It is convenient.

Which trans did you get ?

Oh...10 year old F250, not a good year for F250s. When my customers ask me which is the best new diesel pickup to buy, I tell them brand doesn't matter, buy the brand that has your favorite color and smells the best in the cab. They look at me like I am nuts, then I finish the advice...trade the blasted thing off before the warrant is out and let some other schlub pay to fix it. I never get too far from home with my tractors.

Hu, thought you said people are afraid of the own shadows with this emissions stuff

The comment I made was, some people worry too much, kinda like being afraid of their own shadow. But you were close.

"It will be fine...."

Maybe, but some folks do have emissions problems whether they worry or not.

Not 'some' -- A lot. I'm one of them. $4,300 later

Believe it or else, the emissions junk actually works better on diesels that are used a lot. Really a lot. I've seen 500,000 miles on a stock diesel w/emissions.

It's the ones that sit that have problems. DEF doesn't really go bad ETA (If kept sealed and away from exposure to air) but it gets polluted really easy and the injector nozzles can get clogged.

26HP floor? This is proof of the fascism of the EPA. There is absolutely NO reason to force unproven engineering GARBAGE on people that buy under-40HP tractors. Most of them are residential/hobby farm use.

But the EPA just simply doesn't care. About you and, IMO, about the environment. They care about power. They love to throw their power around.

John Kerry's Private Jet doesn't use DEF and it doesn't have a DPF. Jet A fuel is essentially diesel and a 600 MPH Gulfstream will burn a whole lot more of it than my (or your) 40 HP Kubota put-putting in the garden.

Sorry for the rant. I'll be quiet now. I detest the EPA
