Price Check m7040 price and advice

[OrangeToys]

Dealer has a 7040 open station just put together it has 1 rear remote, loader, R1 tires, filled rear tires 8x8 trans, hydo shuttle. He told me the fort time its a suhd then the next he just said su. Not sure what differences are? He is asking $33,500
Only few things I'll add to a second rear remote and a third function.
Then there's the always debatable should I get the R1 or R4 tires? My current MX5100 I have R4 and have no issues. I brush hog mainly and from time to time I go over thorns and I've had zero flats. Are the R1 and strong?

I'd look for a pre-tier 4 Kubota. You have, at the last, EGR and/or EGR and DPF, both bad ju-ju for a diesel engine. Look under the hood andf compare to your 2011 (Tier 3). Quite a difference. Tier 4 and 4 final have way too much plumbing...and issues.

An SUH is 2 wheel drive. An SUHD is 4x4 and what you want.

Yes it is 4x4. I did see other 7040s at another dealer that said SU and 4x4 on the side but not seen it on many others

33K seems high if it's an SU model even if it is 4wd. SU models are bare bone versions for example, su models have gearshifts in the middle and i believe are synchronized only in 3/4th gears. indeed it's a great machine, but maybe do some homework regarding pricing. this forum is a great start.btw if it's a 7040 model, it's pre tier 4 (2 it think) best of luck

ok i can settle this for you real quick.i traded a 2010 mx5100 hst 4x4 fel with R4 tires for a 7040SU 4x4 fel hydro shuttle with R1 ag tires in july 2013.my 7040 has 2 sets of rear remotes.i gave $16,000 plus traded my tractor in.i got a tad under $18,000 trade for my tractor.so if i was you i wouldnt have to think id buy that 7040 in a heart beat.

That is a lot of money for a SU. I'd recommend to keep looking. See if you can find a slightly used HD-1 to compare.

If thorns don't bother the R4s then they likely won't bother the R1s. The off tread area of the R1s seems to be quite thin but you don't hear of puncture problems very often. Such a problem would surely show up on TBN if it was common.

we run 3 4x4 tractors with R1 tires.all 3 are filled with tire sealant so they wont get flats running in thorns.we have a jx80 4x4 that pulls a 14ft shredder twice a year.that tractor has been put in heavy thorns twice and it has yet to have a flat.thorns will eat tractor tires up.will put so meny holes in a tire or tube you can no longer patch them.a new 7040 is a rare find.they also tell me that R4 tires kill the trade in value of a tractor.thats what 1 dealer told me that i deal with and i pretty much gave him what for.

What do you mean by full 7040?
What sealant? I'm guessing no liquid weight?
