    What is Best Hydraulic Fluid for M7040HD?

    I am about to perform my first 50 maintenance on my M7040HD. I have read several discussions about the Kubota UDT or Super UDT transmission/hydraulic fluids. My owners manual says to use either one. I was planning on using the Super UDT, but no Kubota dealers in my area carry it. They say it...

    Kubota Tractor Weights

    I am a city slicker who just moved to the country and am about to buy my first tractor (ever). I am thinking of buying a Kubota M7040 for my 80 acres (mowing, moving hay, some light clearing and dirt work.) Does this seem like about the right size tractor for me? Also, I have looked at other...
