You guys suggesting it’s abuse is ridiculous. I have 6 tractors on my vegetable farm, driven by everyone under the sun, frequently by people who can’t drive a manual car. Never, ever had clutch problems. Tractor clutches are not easy to break. I don’t know for sure of course but it sounds...
Just an update the dealer sent a service guy up today. By the time he was gone, the three point will drop all the way down, but not without wiggling the draft control lever the whole way down. He had never seen anything like it. They are still working on it.
I think they do. This one does, lifts the front of the tractor easier than my other loader tractor. The float works fine. You control the front three point with a loader joystick, so there's a second function available with side to side action!
HI Dave, like I said the block was removed by my request, and the two hoses were just connected together. The block and connectors were very rusty. You can see the hoses hanging in the second photo, and I posted a pic of the original rusty block.
Yes for a while it was pretty easy to get them from retiring tobacco and ginseng growers, which is ideal - mine came with creeper gears and 12.4 rear wheels, which is great for veggies. Both my landinis originated from Halnor equipment in southern Ontario. They specialize in high crop, narrow...
Standing on the arms doesn't do anything. When the position feedback rod is disconnected, the arms drop all the way down immediately, but adjusting the position feedback rod doesn't do much other than slightly alter the topmost resting point of the hitch. There are lots of kubotas with front...
I was playing with the position feedback rod, which does change the upper resting point of the lift arms, but doesn't change how low it can go. When I disconnect the position feedback rod completely, I can operate the lift arms normally by manually rotating the lobe that the position feedback...
As for the setup, this front hitch (zuidberg) is pretty common on bigger snow tractors up here, and the local dealers do a fair number of them. However, this is the first and only 7040 I've ever seen with a front hitch. The dealer did install it on the tractor new. Usually these are on M5, M6 or...
Hey thanks for the info and the pics. The Type 1 sticker is on the right door. Unplugging the front hitch doesn't affect the rear hitch behaviour at all.
So this might be interesting - the lines on that block were quite rusted when I bought the tractor, and I asked the dealer to replace the...
Yes front 3pt is on the to set of remotes.
Yeah it doesn't go low enough to attach to any implements I have though I could wrangle something on there with my other loader tractor. Thanks for the kudos on the tractors! Veggie farming benefits from lots of machines, even though none of them are...
Yes our lowering speed control spins freely, though I can still adjust it by hand. It doesn't affect this problem though. I guess I'll play with it a little more.
I should have specified, I've looked all over the owners and shop manual for anything resembling this problem. In the troubleshooting guide there isn't anything. Also looked into the lowering speed control, which isn't connected (it spins freely), but the lobed control arm that it connects to...
Bought a lightly used (800 hrs) 2013 M7040 with a front three point hitch and PTO, which has so far been an absolute pleasure to use blowing snow on our farm this winter. We're veggie farmers, so the front three point will be used to mow in conjunction with a rear cultivator for permanent beds...
