    Horsepower vs Weight

    I'd love to have a Kubota but I'd have to add weight everywhere I could put it to get that. The heavier M4 071 is about 6k while the MF 4707 is 8644. I'd love to have a power shift transmission but Kubota is still light and John Deere and MF are out of my price range on that.

    Horsepower vs Weight

    I'm looking at getting a new tractor sometime this year. The primary jobs will be skidding logs and loader work. How much does HP matter vs how much the weight of the tractor matter? One I've looked at is the MF 4700 series. The 70 hp and 100 hp are the same tractor except for tuning on the...

    Questions about purchasing a skid steer

    He didn't have a quote in front of him but he believes it's about $105k now. That's if they had one to sell. He said they have 2 used skid steers, 1 new (T450) skid, a few UTVs, and 4 mini excavators over 8 locations. Times are tough when it comes to finding equipment.

    Questions about purchasing a skid steer

    I'm going to call the dealer Monday morning. If they have one, the price will probably be more than I want to spend. If it's $90k, that's enough for me to buy a skid and a bigger tractor. Just not worth that much more for me.

    Questions about purchasing a skid steer

    If you don't mind me asking, what price did you get on a new one? I'm debating between a skid or a 519 myself.

    Transmission speed choice

    I might be in the market for a Kubota M5-111 soon. My dealer has an 8 speed demo at a good price. Would the 12 or 24 speed be worth the extra money over the 8? The contract I'm buying it for will be mowed every 6 to 8 weeks. I was thinking the E pto could be nice since growth wouldn't be...

    Returning fluid directly to tank

    I have a B3200. I just got a loader put on it and hydraulic remotes. I want to get a small wood post driver to use on it. I need the hydraulic return to go directly to the tank for the driver. I have my dealer working on it and they're a bit stumped. The plan was to run it to the fill hole...

    Kubota Lease

    Does anyone have any experience with leasing a tractor? I know there's 3 kinds of leases that Kubota offers. I currently have my eye on a slightly used tractor but wanted to see how this works before pulling the trigger.

    Rear Remote Valve Type

    I will start by saying I know very little about hydraulics. I have a Skidril HP18 post driver (link at bottom) for fence work. It's currently ran off a Kubota M4900. I can run the outgoing hydraulic line off the top remote but the return line has to go back to the reservoir instead of the...

    Kubota B3200 hydraulic flow rate

    Does anyone have any info on the pump flow for the Kubota B3200? Tractor data says it's 6.7 gpm with 9.7 gpm total flow but it also says 3.2 gpm steering flow so something doesn't add up. The pump flow for the newer B2650/3350 is only 5 gpm so I find it hard to believe that the flow would drop...
