Regarding: 1. Kubota finance, 2. out state dealer and 3. R14t tires

[blaylockvol]

I combined the thread title into three separate comments. 1. Kubota finance, it was fast, easy and zero interest. In all my years, I have never experienced any thing like it. Just gave the dealer the basic info and he did the rest. 2. Out of state dealer, I have always tried to buy local. The closest dealer is 20 miles north, he told me last year he would give 11,000 for my M4700 ln trade, 5 weeks ago he said I needed to bring it by to look at it again. I left and went northwest, 30 miles further and out of state. I called ahead and the dealer said to send him some pictures of the tractor. I had 6 or 7 pictures on my phone where I had just cleaned it up. By the time I got there he told me he thought he could get 14,000 for it so that was what he offered and we traded on the spot. Every thing he told me about the delivery time, assembly and shipping was spot on. He was very knowledgeable and courteous. I also ordered a 4 prong pallet fork that he had to special order, which I will pick up myself. 3. R14t tires, the tractor was delivered Wednesday the 24th at noon, I hooked to the 8 ft grooming mower and mowed for four hrs, the ride was very smooth and I noticed in very sharp turns the front tires did not dig into the grass like my old R1 tires. Next day I used my hd 7 ft box blade with 7 rippers no problem with traction. I ordered the optional 7 ft bucket instead of the standard 6 ft and I am glad I did. No problem with filling it full and dumping wherever I needed. Plenty of traction, I even scooped loose dirt and scraped the same time, no problems!

There you go! One happy camper/Kubota buyer for sure. I've financed over 20 with Kubota and easy peasy and Barlow gives me fair trade in prices with never seeing my trade in and he has ordered me special requested implements so I to am a happy camper/Kubota buyer.

Are your rear tires loaded?

Yes, the dealer recommended steel rims and filled the tires with liquid. I kept the tractor in 2 wheel drive using just the box blade, no problem with traction but when I switched to using the loader I engaged the 4 wheels. One other thing I failed to mention, on pavement the tires are quiet and the gears in high range are very fast and 6th gear will fly. My dad had MF 180, 60hp he used for years for small hay bales, he really liked the road speed when he custom baled for the public, but my M7060 would leave smoke it in a race. I would definitely recommend the R14t Goodyear tires

Congrats on the new tractor!!!

Can you post some pics? Especially of the tires since few members here have them? Thanks!!!

The R14 tires are very interesting. I’m sure most folks on TBN will interested in how they work for you over time. Please keep posting. When I bought last year my dealer only had one tractor with them and it was a small Kubota.

Guys, having trouble downloading pics, goggle Kubota R14 tires. Scroll down to 2 minute video, really explains the reason for developing this tire. I think over time you will more and more folks buying them. Just a little info on my tires. Front tire LSW 320/70R24 max load 3020 lbs Radial tubeless. Rear tire. LSW 420/75R34. max load 5840 lbs Radial tubeless. with steel rims and ballast!

When referring to the tires are those the industrial tires?
I am buying a tractor and it has industrial tires but I told them to change them out to turf tires like I had on the tractor I just sold.
I was helping put an above ground pool at my nephews house the other day and a skid loader had dug out some of the top soil. He had industrial tires on and it left tire tracks all over. I do not want that. I guess it depends on what your intentions are for the tractor.
