Not seeing many used M serires

thanks for the feedback guy - that is kind of what I was getting, but wanted to make sure I was not looking at a lemon line

If it's lemon I'm making lemon aid!

Sure I don't have all the bells and whistles of an L, and I need a new seat, but in months of searching Craigslist, auctions, and dealerships for a tractor that met my needs I had about given up hope.
My absolute requirements were fairly simple:
UNDER $15,000 - per agreement with SWMBO
4WD
3PT capable of lifting 2,000 lbs
FEL

My preferences (not deal killers) were:
HST
Major brand (JD, Kubota, Kioti)

I had just about settled on an L4630 GST from Barlow's for $17K with the wrath of SWMBO for going $2,000 over budget when I stumbled across this auction. And I've got $3,000 left in the budget for attachments and a new seat. Well, $2,700 since I bought a set of Pallet Forks.

And I've a tractor with twice the 3PT lift capacity I needed.

So keep looking, the M's are out there, and they are strong tractors (but I still don't think you'll find an M4600 .

TractorData.com - Kubota tractors sorted by model doesn't even list an M4600, did they make one?

They did make an L4600, TractorData.com Kubota L4600 tractor information.
I've got an M4700, and so far (about 10 hours operating) it's a workhorse, and for 12K seems well worth it.

I would agree that you did very well for $12K, I would have grabbed that in a heartbeat. I have that same sweet 5 cyl engine and it is a smooth one. Starts immediately and runs all day only sipping fuel.

When I bought, the salesman and the owner both mentioned the M series wasn't a big seller for them but that mine was getting allot of attention on the lot while it sat waiting for me to take delivery.
