Moots is correct. Just for transport. M5's and up apparently are fitted with temp wheels and are driven on for transport. Smaller units are packaged like you show in your pics with wheels off. Looked funny though so had to post a pic.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Got in touch with the guy that builds them. He sent me these.OK ... I see what you're talking about. This is my MX before it was assembled. I don't know the process to get it all put together, but I've never seen anything like the photo that @Moose7060 posted.Notice the damage to the cap on the cap. A new cap had to be ordered which delayed delivery by a few weeks.

And apparently they are putting duals on them now.

I'm glad I have an old orange Kubota.
Them blue tractors seem to leak ever so slightly ex-factory already ...

I forgot to post yesterday but it was a nice sunny day in the upper 40s so I spent most of the day outside since I had some free time. Took down the christmas lights which broke anyways. I can't do much since the snow is STILL above my knees making it very difficult to get around my property. I wanted to use the tractor to move some snow but didn't want to make a muddy mess right now soooo I became the tractor and shoveled and dumped into a pile that looks similar to a 12 yard dump of stone.
Why?
Don't ask.
Needless to say, I slept like a log that night.

I changed the Hyd. filters yesterday. Picked up motor oil and filter yesterday. Changed then this morning. I have a question for those in the know.
After changing the Hyd. filters the sight glass showed no air bubble for say. I am concerned that it is over full. How can I check if it is over full or just still low? Before changing filters it was showing the same. I have not had a leak/broken hose in over a year or more.

Might get some hyd color additive to dump in the oil. Then you can "see" the oil. It's available at your John Deere dealer or online.
Here's a project that started last year after a couple bad storms started crossing the bank. Didn't have a huge budget and was limited what I could do with the state laws without a permit process, at least I got permission from the state but had to only use material present on the property including up to 80 yards of material above ground and 50 yards under the water lol. So we used trees that fell and used that to reinforced the bank and this spring I'm going to plant some invasive shrubs with long root systems that should help stabilize the bank. Just waiting for the snow to melt and the ground to dry out to spread out topsoil with the tractor but I sure as hell ain't getting close to that bank!
How much fluid did you top it off with? I needed to add 44oz to bring the bubble into
focus. I was careful not to lose more fluid than necessary and was surprised I
needed to add that much. The filters absorb some too.

I cannot safely grab the bales on the other side of a flatbed with the SVL. The MX has enough reach though.
The back of the sight glass is pure white. If that is what you see it’s low. Any shade of straw (unless dyed) it is fluid. I had the same issue when I first got mine. I didn’t realize how white that eye is. I had my doubts what appeared to be a small bubble at the top actually was one. My property is relatively flat so I found a rut and parked the tractor with the wheels opposite the sight glass in the rut. Just this small tilt was enough to see the fluid level over the white “eye”. If really over filled you may need more of a tilt - but don’t over do it.

Went to buy a new Kubota ZT. Wound up with another Bad Boy mower instead. So, now I have two Bad Boy Zt's...they're Orange at least. 
It’s mud season at our place up North. Still ice on ponds (did not make it to the shoreline to see if ice still on lake).
I marked up the lawn
around the barn pretty good getting measurements to add hydraulic cylinder to the wagon. I made marks just walking much less the tractor. But I needed to get some measurements so I could place an order. Didn’t seem to bother the squatters…they seem to know when the season isn’t in.

I will try that Monday. I have a feeling it is over full then, as the glass is the same color as the Hdy. oil I put in. I have been working all afternoon making a level spot beside the barn to set 3 point equipment so I have a somewhat level spot to hook up.
I didn't take any pictures but I will Monday.

I have an ongoing new driveway project that is low pressure for me, and something I tinker with when I feel like it. I'll eventually get it done. This afternoon I wanted to move the big tractor to a flat spot on my driveway (which I don't have) to see if the hydraulic oil is at the correct level. On my way around the house one thing led to another, so I decided to play for a bit. That rear blade is all kinds of awesome and the M6060 is such a beast.
Just a couple of weeks ago I was pulling neighbors out of the ditch in close to 3ft of snow. What a difference a couple of weeks make.

Drive the rear wheel on the side with the sight glass, up on a block of wood to tilt it and see if you see a bubble.
