worth the buy?

Interesting. The Id plate has the model as a 795 dtc....so I'd assume it's a 95hp tractor instead of the 85...wonder why the side of the tractor says 785. Parts are the same for both models from what I see

Baz did the previous owner tell you what those tractors went for new back in the day ?

The guy I purchased it from wasn't the owner that bought it new. He purchased it from a dealer last year (the youtube video of the ad can still be found, Mast tractor sales). That ad states that it was a local trade and was a one owner tractor. So basically, nope, he did not tell me what they went for new. Do you happen to know?

No just wondered . Because like i shared with you earlier in thread thats alot of tractor for the beans ! I'am sure the price back in the day was competative to others with simular specs even coming from Italy .

Farmtrac still has some dealers in Mississippi and Alabama I believe. I priced a new 2019 6075 which I think us 75hp 4wd with loader etc etc for 32k (cash price).

The new ones do look pretty nice as well.

Well Baz have you had a chance to work with your new to you tractor yet ? Any pro's/con's ?

bazman82 · Jun 19, 2019

No real chance to work with it yet. Still way to wet to cut any hay and do any work involving the fields. I did pull a disc and cultipacker with it to straighten out some ruts but that was only like 200' worth of laneway. If I had a bucket for it, I probably wouldve found things to do but I don't so its just sitting there for now. I have started it up to just take it for a spin down the lane to check out some of the hay...at least thats what I tell the wife. I really just like driving it

The little I have used it though, it is super comfortable to drive compared to what I'm used too. It will take alittle getting used to having the levers for the rear hydraulics behind me but thats about it. I did change the oil and oil filter. I ordered a new fuel filter and pre cleaner and the hydraulic filters for it so I can take care of those once they come in. I've inquired about a few other parts to kind of tidy things up. I priced the multimeter (the whole dash unit as they dont sell just the tachometer) and that was 1,600

. Looks like i wont be getting the hour meter fixed anytime soon...

I'am sure also you have thought about putting a canopy on it already ? Maybe you have another tractor (not running) or parts you can yank one off and paint and bolt on ? Its had too have crossed your thoughts .....https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-buying-pricing/389347-best-price-canopy.html

Yup, I already was thinking a canopy to be 1st on my list of things to get after the fluid changes. I already ordered the canopy from covermytractor.com. It was 500 and that included shipping. I dont have the spare stuff laying around to build my own or the time at the moment. I dont have an extra bucket laying around either. My wifes grandfather did say i could use his bucket off of his case since he will be putting a fork on it for the summer so I may do that but its not a quick attach...
