M6040HD w loader anything to look out for.

[samofsweden]

Hi.
Im looking to buy a used Kubota M6040HD w loader around 150hours on.
Do the M6040HD have any "factory fault" to look out for?
What tires do u recommend R4s or Ag tires, I mostly going to use it as a small farm run around tractor, fixing road, some work in the woods, maybe plowing, snow removing etc.

I have a M7040 which is very close to the 6040. I researched it quite a bit before I bought, and I'm not disappointed. It has been a work horse in every way.

Ag tires would be the best match with the BX!

Hi Charlie!
Thanks for your input!

We have an M8540 with hydraulic shuttle; owned a synch shuttle before that. On the hydraulic shuttle, the forward/reverse lever automatically engages the clutch, so you don't have to use the foot clutch as you do on the synch shuttle.

As to the Ag/Industrial, there will always be a debate on that. We have Industrials on our L5030 and Ags on our M8540.

TripleR, thanks for info:thumbsup: Now spending time thinking..cab or no cab....here where I live everyone uses cab on tractors. Im not to forced to sit everyday on my Bota so I can choose a little when weather is ok to do work. And Im used to my BX. But offcourse when the snow is coming....a heated cab is the way to go....:confused2:

There have been at least two pretty lengthy and informative threads on cab v open station. Here is one of them: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/217779-cab-no-cab.html

We have a mix of open station and cab tractors, but now about all I use are the ones with a cab.

I have the 5040(open station) and the 7040(cab) no issues to date with either both have been great tractors.


If your gonna spend alot of time I would get the cab but if you can do most work in the morning or evening the open station is fine. I have spent many hours on the open cab this year and couldnt wait to get back on the cab but a canopy would really make a difference something I didnt get just cause I usually use it to mow under trees and etc.
