Had some illness in the family and it derailed my equipment quest for a time but I'm considering again. Are you referring the new M62's improvements as being downgrades or just products in general .

Assume the L48 would be a bit more nimble but the M62's extra grunt would be valuable too.

Kubota is going to require a down payment for the 0% option which impacts the buy new value for me. If I've got to pull money out for a down payment, I might as well pull a little more and buy used. Do you have an opinion you'd be willing to share on Mason's?

Too bad there isn't any competition in the tlb category. A skid, mini-ex and tractor would be better but for my needs that would be overkill.

It really wasn't much different in price once thumb etc are added. That whole goods catalog is elusive

I've seen the ones on Mason's site and used is much cheaper. Some of the stuff I read didn't give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. May be a great place but I think you better be very familiar with equipment and check it out before you buy ( same for any reseller). Just the nature of the machine...

There's one born every day and I've been that one many times :-( Did find a base model in Illinois for 88k

That blank dash looks like a good place for a rear view camera too

Still in process - Does the M62 have a Power Outlet (cigarette lighter style) for something like an electric sprayer?

Hope you figure out why it died. Had a JD that got fungus in the fuel and it would die on a steep slope. If that's side to side, 15 degrees (27%) to 19 degrees (34%) cross slope is pretty good.

Telematics is not a requirement but appears to aid in keeping the tractor maintained and running. The 200-400 ft. streches 30-40% slope is on some of my access roads. Can't go around. Have traversed them with my 4710 w loader and rotary cutter when it's dry and with SXS when damp.

New unit less the top/tilt, extra rear Hydraulics ports, 4-1 bucket, hyd loader bucket attach, one BH bucket and telematics may be around 93K which seems to jive with the ads I've seen. Not sure what a demo discount would be but finding one around here would be like finding a needle in a...

Got my quote today 107+tax o_O Anybody in the market for a kidney? Dealer also said no spacers were available for the rear wheels and if aftermarket ones were added it will void the warranty. Also been watching a bunch of videos about how unstable tractors are on slopes. I've used tractors...

They have a hydraulic option for the SSQA attachment. No bar just a button.

May not be able to afford the unit - remains to be seen. Last tractor I bought was in 2006 and the next one I buy will probably be the last. Just wondered if the M59/M62 drive-line felt under-powered as a tractor since it weighed so much. Cheater for the SSQA? Wheel weights is the only...
