[scaredychicken]

it looks like Spring ... ahem. where's all the white stuff ???

Yeah my wife said don’t expect anything else. I told her see it was just a work tool and not really a fun present.

oh, okay sure
Merry Christmas

Very nice tractor. BTW - where is all your snow. Hard to believe - no snow in NC yet.

no snow and no mud, something is wrong

I plan to use it mowing fields and planting food plots etc. I’m also constantly moving dirt around and grading roads. And of course dealing with some falling trees. I’m going to order a 9’ Brown Manufaturing disk harrow in a couple months. I also have a slightly used Land Pride HD cutter that fits it nicely.

As for the transmission it comes standard with a 8 speed but I upgraded to the 12spd which also provides 16.5 gallons of hydraulic flow. The loader is super fast and extremely smooth operating. Even the 3pt lift is the most accurate and smoothest I’ve ever used.

Super nice looking set of equipment. 16.5 gpm is a lot of hydraulic flow for that size tractor too. I don't know if you have need to operate it on steep ground or not. The M7040 may have more rear wheel spacing adjustment options than smaller Kubotas (?) Renters on my farm in north central WV deal with steep ground often and they have rear wheel spacers installed on 2 Kubotas -- one is an M6040 and the other one is a smaller L3400. Makes a world of difference BUT you may not work much steep land and secondly the M7040 may have greater rear wheel separation range. Enjoy the new equipment !

It’s is a lot of hydraulic flow for a 70hp tractor but sure does help when doing bucket work speeding up things a lot. Really glad I went with the 12speed as the increased flow is part of the package. Price-wise it’s not a lot more money considering anyway. As far as wheel spacing I had dealer set the wheels out roughly 8”. Don’t have much steep terrain here so should be plenty. The new tractors are nice to as they don’t take long to preheat at all. Turn the switch and wait 4-6 seconds and then cranks right up. 10-15F no problem at all this weekend.

on mine, the 12sp opt also increased the 3ph lifting capacity by quite a bit. is your e brake ratchet or internal transmission? really like the tramsmission brake on mine, one of the reasons i went with my model. congrat on a machine that will last a lifetime.

Internal to transmission. I haven’t tried it yet on a hill to see how well it holds.
