    Im buying my first tractor. I want a M5 111 with 4 wheel drive

    The Kubota M5 series of tractors are a considerable step up from the M4 or M7060 tractors. If money isn't a concern, the 24 speed transmission is a good option, it gives you electric control of the 4WD engagement, much handier than the manual version on the 8 and 12 speed machines. If you are...

    Hydraulics for boom arms

    I built a sprayer that uses hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the booms, as the boom comes up, the spring return ball valve shuts off fluid flow to the nozzles on that boom.

    2016 M5091 140 hrs Def quality code

    I have a 2020 M5-091, when it was delivered to the dealer it had a note attached to it saying DEF header rework had been completed which indicates there was an updated header installed. Last summer I got an email telling me that there was a service campaign to replace the DEF header as well as...

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    I will not drive several of my trucks on salted Iowa roads, there are two trucks that we use in the winter, none of my tractors go on those shitty salty roads either, the salt is just too destructive. I believe the idea of using salt on roads was hatched in hell and brought to us at the hands...

    If I buy a few more tractors, hell I could produce a poster of the different size tractors!

    MX6000 next to an M5-111

    Well I believe the M5 is somewhat heavier, the loader has considerable more capacity, the cab is bigger, three point hitch capacity is greater, front axle seems heavier and noticeably more horse power with the M5-091 over the M7060. The M7060 had 16.9 Radial rear tires vs 18.4 Radials on the...

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    Well it seems like that worked out well and you feel good about selling it to good people, that is a win all the way around. The way you plan to treat the sold tractor gives me the impression that you are a class act! Back in 2016 I sold my L2900 to a local couple, I changed the engine oil...

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    Firearms engineer, hell yeah! Oh I would enjoy a conversation with you. I am kinda partial to Ruger, being and old guy I prefer revolvers and bolt action Hawkeye 77 rifles. I had to stop buying guns, the safe is full, maybe that is why I have so many tractors.

    You will look good in that M in the future, I am sure. Am I being much help here with tractor buying restraint?

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    If you look close at an M5 and test drive one you will soon understand just how quickly want and need come together. Yes I do like keeping the tractors and implements in a heated building, I just wouldn't feel right if I left then out in the cold.

    Oh, want and need do seem to blend together at times. I understand being realistic, but does that apply to buying tractors?

    The reality of selling a late model used Kubota in today's market.

    The worst that happens if you don't sell it, you still have two nice tractors! A guy looks good with multiple tractors. I always see the upside.
