What are main differences in these tractors?

Doesn't anyone know about the new 60 series?

They now have the 12 speed transmission as an option. I can only assume that means they get a park gear, like their big brothers, instead of a park brake, but not sure.

The last time I looked Kubota had the specs for both the M40's and M60's on their web site.

Good luck, our dealer had one M40 left on his lot and it was a 7040, so a few are left scattered around.

Aside from a transmission option, several thousand dollars to pay for the nonsensical Tier IV EGR and particulate filters, which are expensive and require routine replacement.

Buy a 7040 if you can.

I'm not a fan of the new emission equipment either but to say that the dpf requires routine replacement is incorrect. Reading the users on this board that actually own one of the new tractors they say the emissions operation is basically seamless.
