I am like you, in my 70's. I did not buy a tractor with a cab when I purchased my tractor 15 years ago. Now, I really wish I had a cab. But, I take care of 92 acres in East Texas with almost no trees. Sounds like you are in between the proverbial "rock and a hard place". A cab would be...

Buy the JD from Lowe's. It's the same mower and will do fine.

I've used a Stihl FS-90 for the last twenty years. It will handle anything you want to tackle. I don't like string trimmers, so I use the Stihl head that has plastic blades. Works great.

Now that I have a front end loader, I would never have a tractor without one. So many things they can be used for that you can't even think of right now.

I agree. Remedy is a good product for brush. It also works well on fresh cut tree stumps when mixed with a little diesel to prevent any regrowth from the stump.

Only those bumpers with barbed wire on them will endanger wildlife.

Hilarious.

I have and Oregon Scientific brand for my house. I don't like it. Very hard to reset the various inputs after changing the batteries. Usually takes me about an hour - all hit and miss.

They don't stay at the dealership very long.

They will if you have enough of them.

I don't know what it is but it would make a real good booger whopper. Keep it near the bed in case of a home invasion.

I am asking this because I don't know. Why do you need to go inside a grain bin?

Use spray foam for best insulating value.

If the bottom of the T-111 is within 8" of the ground, try to make is shorter. If not, water will wick up the wood and cause rot. Been there, done that. A good stain probably provides the best protection.

Yikes! I think I'll take your advice when I see one in the future.

That's purdy.

My first thought was an armadillo was digging in your yard. Don't know if you have them where you live.

The Farmers Insurance on TV says they have seen it all. I betcha they hadn't seen this one.

I live in East Texas and own a small 92 acre ranch. Hogs have torn up my pasture on several occasions. And no one in the government seems to care. If this type thing were happening in a city (versus rural areas), the government would be spending billions of dollars to find a solution...

I guess I have been "back dragging" for years and didn't know it had a name. I've never had a problem (that I know of) but I will try to be smarter about it from now on. Good video.

I am in East Texas, near Tyler. Saw an ad on Craigslist yesterday for mowing pasture for $65/hr. Equipment seems similar to yours. Don't know how the guy would bill for travel time.

I also mow 1/3 acre. Bought a John Deere 42" cut lawn tractor with V-Twin (21 or 22 hp?) Briggs and Stratton engine from Lowe's in 2007 for about $2000. Used it for 15 years and sold it for $800. Never had any problems with the engine or transmission. Had to replace some parts on the...

You obviously don't live in Texas. It doesn't rain here anymore....LOL

If you put it in a canvas "garage in a box" on the land where no one lives, you won't have to worry about whether to sell it or not.........someone will likely steal it. Just sayin.

.......or Twitter.

Ain't no way you would do that after holding it in your arms.

Sounds like a lot of work to mow under the fence BEFORE you take the fence down. Why not just take the fence down and then mow?

Like others have suggested, I would go back to Lowe's and talk to the manager. If that doesn't work and you purchased the saw with a credit card, file a dispute with your credit card company. That usually works.

For what it's worth........ I have a 2007 Kubota M7040 (68 hp) with 4WD. I tried to move a large rock (3 ft X 4.5 ft X 1.5 ft). Tractor wouldn't pick it up off the ground, but I got my forks under it and was able to push it where I wanted (about 80 yards).

I am in East Texas and Vasseygrass is about to take over my pasture. What herbicide are you using to kill it?

I mow about 3/4 of acre. I am retired and have plenty of time to mow, so I am in no hurry. I don't use the mower for anything else. I bought a 42" cut John Deer "lawn tractor" about 18 years ago. Not a zero turn. 22 hp Briggs and Stratton. V Twin. It served me well. Never had a problem...

I use Stihl saws and have had good look with them. Their Farm Boss is a good saw. Their pole saws are good, but they are heavy. I have found the trick to easy starting is to buy pre-mixed fuel or find a gas station that sell gas without ethanol.

You, obviously, are not married............................but the tree looks nice.

I purchased the same model in 2007 (no cab) and $28,500 is about what I paid for it then. It is the only tractor I have ever owned and although I don't use it daily (only 1200 hours in 14 years), I have worked the crap out of it. Probably shouldn't admit this, but I have used it as a...

Good choice. I have same model and love it.

Good choice. I have a 2007 model of the same tractor (no cab - my bad). It does everything I need on my 90 acre cattle “ranch”. I love it.

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...

I pulled the trigger and purchased a new M7040HD (4WD and hydraulic shuttle). I took delivery two days before my 57th birthday. I love it. I have already mowed about 15 acres, moved some round hay bales and pulled some stumps. I decided not to get the canopy right now. I will get one...

Does anyone have any thoughts on using R-4 (industrial?) tires on a Kubota M7040 instead of the standard R-1 (agriculture?) in a farm setting (primarily mowing, moving round bales and other light FEL work, and some light land clearing?

Per previous posts, I am considering buying a M7040 with a metal canopy. However, the barn I plan to keep the tractor in only has a vertical opening of 103". The Kubota spec's say the tractor is 97.2" tall (overall height from the ground to top of the ROPS). Does anyone know how much height...

Does anyone have any information/experience on whether the "wet clutch" on the Kubota "hydraulic shuttle" transmission is better than the "dry clutch" on the "synchronized shuttle" transmission? I have been told the "wet clutch" will outlast the "dry clutch" by years. I am considering...

Okay folks, the city slicker who has never owned a tractor and recently bought 80 acres of land and moved to the country is back with more questions. I test drove the 4WD M7040 and loved it. I think this is the tractor I am going to buy. I am a little confused about the optional "hydraulic...

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...
