Looking for a new tractor to replace my Kubota B7800, something in the 40HP range and with a cab. Have considered a Kubota L4060, JD 3039, Boomer 40/50, and MF 1840M and at this point, the MF 1840M is the leader in the clubhouse. It comes well-equipped and is considerably less expensive than the offerings from Kubota or JD, the New Hollands have some weird design choices to my eye, they come nicely outfitted as well. I'm interested in hearing from 1840M owners on their experiences, plusses, and minuses before committing to a final decision.

I've stuck with brands that have dealers that are reasonably close.

Realise I'm replying to a very old post but others will be reading. I'm just 100 hours into a MF1840M. Hydrostatic randomly stops driving, I've found shiny (bad) metallic pieces in the Hydrostatic oil and now I have a fight on with AGCO. Not a good start - I would expect this from a Chinese brand.

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Please let us know how it works out. Definitely sounds like a typical warranty situation to me.

Any update on this?

My 1835M hydro starts surging after it warms up. Its not the engine. Feels like its the hydro and more specifically the controller or pedal position sensor. If you rotate the speed limit knob back and forth while driving steady thats what it feels like. Been doing it on and off since new. 370 hrs now.

The standard L’s all now have LED headlights and R14’s. The Grand L’s are ten years and running with no updates, they gotta be next.

This thread isn't about Kubotas though. And R14's aren't standard on the L series but are an option.
