I was at the west TN dealer today snooping around. Thought I had hit the jackpot on a SSQA bucket, but they said it went with a tractor. Dang

They had 10 or 12 new tractors, apparently already sold. Among them were these 2 pair, the 2 on one side are M7060's and the 2 on the other side are M4-071's. Who can tell the difference, and how? Apology for the picture quality.

How'd you know, even cheating?

First difference I noticed (besides slight size difference) was thehazard lights. Quick look at parts diagram told the difference. There is probably a much easier way though

I think the size difference is due to the picture perspective. The difference I picked up on is the windshield wiper location. Same loader, same tires, all hydraulic shuttle. The cabs are different, the M4 in back is a deluxe with a buddy seat. Wonder how the price compares . . .
M7060 - $58,800
M4-071 - $64,200

My eye was first drawn to the difference in the shape of the rear fenders.

I noticed the wiper too, and this

What’s that?

I'm not sure. Economy PTO maybe? The differences in the back are more noticeable, but I don't know what they mean or do.

There have been some mentions on the board several times about the small increments in Kubota models, and I thought this was a good example.

I think he mentioned that once or twice.
