Kubota M9000 4.50 star(s) (17)

Excellent so far.
Model Year: 2004

The tractor has plenty of power for it size. The 23gpm hydraulic flow rate is 2nd to none in its class. It is real quiet and smooth running as the turbo and inter cooler helps. My tractor has over 1400 hours and uses no oil, starts easy, and handles like a smaller tractor. If you keep the condenser and evaporator clean the AC will freeze you out. Also it has no emission crap on it.

Pros: Handles like a smaller tractor, plenty of power.
Cons: Mine has the steel wheels behind, but without it could be a little lite behind.

One Bad Apple
Model Year: 1999

The review by Harry Sac is of a weird nature. Haven't read of another review that dogged a M9000 Kubota had the problems you had. Sold them for years and have used them for years. You probably just need to paint it John Deere green and you will be content with working on it and spending money on it. Good luck to ya.

Pros: It is Orange.
Cons: It isn't Green.

2002 Kubota M 9000 Utility Special
Model Year: 2002

Have had good luck with tractor, might blow up tomorrow. But I really like it. It has Kubota LA1251 loader. I am pleased with tractor and loader. I cut hay, rake hay and pull baler with it. And use it to feed in the winter. Been very dependable.

Pros: Starts well in winter.
Cons: Air conditioner is a little weak.

Dependable
Model Year: 0

I like it. Keep inside and has given no problems. Alo loader came with unit and joystick gummed up but able to get it loose with thin oil at swivel area.

Pros: Smooth and strong.
Cons: Still not as easy to use as hydro.

Never Owning Another One
Model Year: 2003

We bought this lump of crap new in 2003. Only use it to clean the barn yard and feed bales of hay. Not enough power to do anthing else. In the last 3 1/2 years we have rebuild the plantary drives in the front end twice as well as the front end ring and pinion. Gutless lump of crap.

Pros: Should be good if you never use it.
Cons: Not build well enough to use every day.

M9000
Model Year: 2004

Absolutely the most reliable and trouble free tractors we have ever owned. We run them daily and use them for all task from clearing and maintenance to crops. Just service them and they will preform.

Pros: Reliability.
Cons: Hydraulic filters dump reservoir when servicing...gallons!

Kubota M9000 DTCCS
Model Year: 2001

Purchased this tractor used in early 2009 from PA contractor. Well worth the cost and effort to drive from far West Texas to 30 miles from New Jersey on I80 to get the beast. First time with a 4WD and A/C Cab tractor. Lots of power, extreme pulling and pushing power, especially with front assist. Lots of rocks, mesquite and cactus here so put mounted 14 ply front and 12 ply rear tires. Has a Kubota LA1251 loader with an 84 inch bucket and a double forked bale spear. Easily handles 1900lb+ 4'x4'x8' bales and bundles of 30 small square bales of alfalfa. Any size round bales are a cinch. Don't have a crawler at this ranch, so use this to remove trees, build tanks (ponds) etc. Have dug down 6' from level pulling ripper and then moving dirt with the bucket. This tractor has more power and a lot quieter than older Ford and John Deere tractors. The cab makes a big difference, allows for more lights, making night work easy.

Pros: 4WD adds pulling power, creep speed, well lit at night, lots of power.
Cons: AC underpowered had to add a Fan-Tastic Vent, Cat 1 pin on 3 pt upper link.

Kubota 9000
Model Year: 2004

A simple reliable tractor. However, seat is over very poor quality and failed -- we have had fuel line problems such as frozen lines but that comes with living in Canada. We had an employee who tried to destroy it in its first 3 years, broke the grill damaged fenders etc. but the machine kept going. I would buy another -- but you do need to know how to clean the fuel line or you will have trouble as earwiggs etc. love to get into the line and after a while get to the wrong spot and kill the power. This machine has never been back to the dealer for any repair.

Pros: Reliable and durable under harsh conditions.
Cons: The seat just does not stand up to our weather and the PTO wiring harness is a Mickie Mouse contraption.

Model Year: 2001

Very reliable. Had a few rattles when new but I chased them down, roll cage and muffler fasteners. Runs smooth with good torque. Paint held up well but the few colored plastic pieces have faded. ALO front end loader has been good, but dual action is slow and control cables needed re-lubing when got sticky. QD bucket works well.

Pros: Reliable, smooth.
Cons: Could use a faster road gear.

Kubota M9000
Model Year: 2001

Pros: Very reliable.
Cons: Poor routing for cab wiring under floor mat.

Kubota M9000DT-F
Model Year: 2003

Excellent tractor - I've got all expected while obtaining it. I feel like it's a part of mine working at the open air (with no cab) on it and at the same time being safe with strong ROPS. Tractor is impressively tough and solid, simple to use, reacts well to the operating control commands, and works great with any kind of attachment. It might be lower vibration, but all in all it's a very good machine. I like this model tractor so much, that I've bought it in the USA market zone (TX) and brought through the Atlantic to my country - Lithuania. And still do not regret. I'd buy another one exactly the same tractor if it would be in production.

Pros: Not much crumbling away plastic parts comparing to present M series tractors.
Cons: Seems to be high fuel consumption.

I run this tractor with a 15ft Bushog on rough mountain terrain. It is unbeatable in handling, horsepower and pulling. A neighbor has a similar size (2hp more) John Deere, Big 9000 can clean his clock while pulling a heavier Batwing.

Pros: Power & handling.
Cons: None.

M 9000 DTC
Model Year: 2004

This has been a very good tractor and has given me trouble free service so far. It doesn't have many fancy features but in the same sense, it doesn't have as much to tear up or go bad. It has plenty of power to run a baler, mowing machine or a bush hog. It's nice and quiet in the cab even at high rpm's. My only complaint is the cab could be bigger.

Pros: Simple and dependable.
Cons: Small cab size.

Kubota M9000DT
Model Year: 2005

I have been pleased with this tractor for the most part. It is set up with 4wd, weights, and creeper gear. It is a simple, basic unit. Plenty of power, reliable, and no significant problems. I have, however, replaced (warrantied each time) the stabilizer bar on the lift arm. It has broken at the weld 4 times. I believe this part is undersized for the tractor.

Pros: reliable, starts readily even in very cold weather
Cons: stabilizer linkage, no parking brake indicator light

Kubota M9000
Model Year: 2003

A well built tractor, no problems to date, only 400 hours or so, but almost 7 years, still on the original battery. A/C is starting to go, can no longer keep up when the outdoor temps are high. Front end loader ( made by ALO ) is on the light side for gravel, lifts a full 84" bucket load okay, but the loader arms sway if you aren't careful. 85 h.p. at the pto has been fine for running our 84" rotovator, 12' disc, 9' disc mower conditioner, large round baler, inline square baler. The cab is a little small if you need to keep things in there, pretty tough to carry a passenger, I would like more leg room, but I still use it for up to 10 hours a day in hay season, so not too bad for comfort. I would definitely buy another Kubota in this size range.

Pros: Reliability, starts well in sub zero weather
Cons: Front end loader too light, not enough in cab storage, not enough leg room
