Thanks, I feel pretty thankful to get this tractor.
Good choice. I have a 2007 model of the same tractor (no cab - my bad). It does everything I need on my 90 acre cattle “ranch”. I love it.After lurking and hopefully learning from everyone here, I finally got my first tractor today.
It's a 2012 Kubota M7040 with 435 hours that's been garage kept all these years. Got the zerks greased up today, the coolant tested good, changed the wiper blade and peeled all the factory plastic off the seat....it's mine now.
Tomorrow I'll change the oil and filter, fuel filter, check fluid in the diffs, transmission fluid and install my LED headlights and change all the other aux lights/turn signal bulbs to LED as well. I'm sure I'll think of more. In a few days I'll pick up my 85" 3 point snow blower from the Kubota dealership down the road. They said something about having to cut the PTO shaft to fit the M7040. Also my tire groover will be here in a couple days so I'll be able to groove the tire lugs for a bit better traction.
Thanks for all the experience you guys have.....I'm sure I'll need assistance again.
Anyway, here are a few pics
The "other" orange ride sitting in the barn is my daughter's car.

Thanks. You mention "tough times" and I see it everywhere. Shortages of many things and what you can get the prices are through the roof. I figured I better not let this slip away or I'd regret it.Looks about as close to new that you can get in a used machine. Congratulations, Great choice and find in tough times.
Congrats; very nice find and I'm sure you will love it.This coming summer I'll be getting a tiller, set of forks and adding a third function for a grapple
