    Kubota Deals and Zero Percent Financing

    There is no such thing as 0% financing. The rate is baked into the price at some level. Most equipment manufacturers offer it because people think they are getting a deal. I sold heavy construction equipment for several years and saw it 1st hand.

    New M7060 loader issue

    I tried today to lift my 7060 with the bucket flat to the ground and it won't lift it either. If I curl the bucket down it will lift the front end up. M7060 2018 model with 90 hours. Qd bucket.

    Harrow and cultipacker

    Harrow/cultipacker is perfect for what you are trying to do. It will cover the seed and smooth out the field. It will work way better than trying to cover your seed with your disk. The only thing to consider is the cultipacker is expensive to work on (if you can’t do it yourself)The bearings...

    Operating rpm of m7060

    What rpm should I be using when bushogging, etc. On my old 6800 I kept it at 2200 but this new machine will go up to near 2600. Do you operate it wide open because of the dpf? When bushogging there is a vibration at 2200 but it goes away around 2400 rpm. Thanks for the advice. I am having to...

    Kubota insurance (KTAC)

    I am in the insurance business and I would buy the Kubota insurance. They know tractors. I have case insurance on my new 7060. The dealer offered both and case was a little cheaper and had better coverage. I have a place that floods from time to time and if my tractor broke down or got stuck...

    Machines with turbos- do you let them idle before shutting down

    Thanks for all the input guys. I never thought about the oil caking up. I always thought the issue was the turbo spinning without oil.

    50hr service and manual

    My 7060 has 2 drain plugs for the engine oil. My old 6800 had 2 also. The way the pan is configured you have to take out the left and the right drain plug to get all of the oil out.

    Machines with turbos- do you let them idle before shutting down

    Thanks guys. In my previous life I sold heavy construction equipment and we always told customers to let the machines idle. I did not know if that had changed since I have been out of the business for 15 years.

    Machines with turbos- do you let them idle before shutting down

    I have a 7060 which has a turbo. I have always been told to let machines with turbo's idle for a while so the turbo can slow down and still get oil. Is this still a big deal? I have a guy that helps me and he just turns the machine off because that is what he has been doing for 60 years.

    What Do You Call A Mom That Drives A Semi?

    I did notice the oil and hydraulic filters that came on my 7060 were dark grey with no markings. This is the same color as the engine and undercarriage. The new filters were white with the kubota logo and part #. They were tight but nothing a strap wrench could not break.

    Any other website besides Messicks to order parts

    I have a m7060. The closest dealer to me is 25 minutes one way without traffic. The dealer I bought it from is 2 1/2 hours away. The tractor is at my hunting camp and not my house. I ended up ordering the part from Coleman's and paid $10 shipping. That seems fair to me.

    Any other website besides Messicks to order parts

    Are there any other places on the web to order kubota parts from? I need an ac vent grill and the part is $25 but they want $16 for shipping. Damn think only weighs a few ounces. I don’t live near a dealer.

    Best tire sealant for rtv 900 tire

    My dad has a rtv 900 and the back right tire will not hold air for more than a week. It will leak all the way down to flat. Is there a tire sealant out there that is better than the green slime that Walmart sells? Crazy thing is I have a complete spare and it won’t stay aired up either.

    Water pump going out??

    When I crank my 7060 up the belts are screaming. It gets worse at mid rpm but dies out some at full throttle. Tractor has 55 hours on it. Belts look nice and tight and don’t show any signs of abnormal wear. Could this be the bearings in the water pump?

    Timing bush hog 3008 blades

    Is there a secret to getting the blades timed perfectly? I have a 3008 bushhog and I had to replace the cross shaft assemblies. I had some vibration after replacing the parts so I put new blades on the bush hog. I still have a little vibration and wanted to know if you have to time the blades...
