You're probably right at it....about 12,000 lbs.

I have been looking at purchasing this exact tractor. Do you mind sharing the cost of your M6800?

The pictures are great. I have been trying to convince my wife that I need a cab on my next tractor. Will show her these, but I doubt it will help. She is a farmer's daughter and her Dad never had a cab on any of his tractors. Her motto is "if my Dad didn't have one, why should you since you are not a real farmer?".

Nice tractor. Sure looks different with the cab on it. Mine doesn't have the cab. How do you like that loader?

Enjoy

( Dad didn't have one, why should you )

Yea, there's no way you are going to win that one. It's the same "discussion" I've been having with my M-I-L and S-I-L for years. They still live at the farm and last year when I was gone, the JD tractor my S-I-L uses broke down. I wasn't there to fix it so the answer to the problem was to go get another tractor. When I got back, there was a brand new M5700 with FEL and 6' Rhino cutter in the barn but with no cab. I tried to get them to take it back, trade up a couple of sizes, get a cab and 15' flex wing mower and I'd pick up any difference in cost. Didn't work, not interested, they wanted to do it the same old way, which is a bit strange because I do at least 80% of the work on the farm. Don't get me wrong, it's a great tractor, better than anything we have at present, but it's not what a bunch of 50 somethings need to using for the next 20 years IMHO. So, I guess, for now I'm going to have to keep on getting, hot, sweaty, filthy dirty and eating bugs just like always. I just don't know if I can or want to be working the farm like that when I'm 70+ years old.

So Dmax, I hate it when people post pictures of their brand new, shiny, cabbed tractors. I'm jealous as all get out. It does look good though but I just wish it was parked in my barn. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I like the Bush hog loader because it will lift more and is a bit heavier made than the kubota loader. But there is one thing that I don't like about it, It want do two fuction at once. I am not sure that I would have not when with a kubota loader if I would have known that before I got it. Dealer did not know, they was tried to adjust the cables to get it to do what I wanted but that was not the problem. I finally called Bush hog myself and the guy I talked to said that the valve on the loader was not a regen valve and would only do one thing at a time. The only time it really bothers me it loading and unloading hay. I could drop another $1000 and get the self leveler put on but it's not bothering that bad........ YET.
