Tire size for m5040 Kubota

A couple days ago, my joystick failed in the furthest down (towards the driver) position. It no longer rests in the "center" position (I poorly drew in where the normal center position would be in green, in this photo). My left, right, and up joystick positions all work as expected, but I have...

Hi folks - I have a 2007 Kubota M5040HDC (cabbed -yes I am spoiled). The bucket that came with the LA1153 loader is 72" wide and roughly 26" deep and high. A bunch of welds are coming apart so I am toying with the idea of just fixing it or getting a new bucket. If new, I am wondering how big a...

A friend found an ad for a 2010 Kubota M5040 open station 4x4 tractor. the ad says 8x8 transmission. Can anyone provide any more info? Like how many ranges, how many gears? Can this be shifted (with clutch) on the move ? Or must you stop before each gear change? How about for forward to...

Noob here, I am looking for a tractor for 150 forested ac in the mountains. It is raw land with old logging roads that I will be clearing for a driveway and trails. There will be about 5 ac that will get cleared also. That sounds like a lot lot of loader, grapple, scrapper, box blade work...

Hello hello! We are going from 6.5 acres of land to 45 soon, and you all know what that means! New tractor! I have a great Kubota dealer nearby and would like to continue to do business with them. However, a new large frame M series tractor is out of my budget. I have been looking at used M...

Morning everyone I haven't been on much but after last summer I thought about upgrading my tractor. Been looking around for a cab and I talked to my local Kubota dealer. He suggested that I go with a M6060. I couldn't justify sending that kind of cash for a new one. So he has been looking for a...

Ok, I've been looking for a new tractor to upgrade from my 1972 ford 2000 diesel with no power steering(big upgrade haha). I had narrowed it down to a nh workmaster 60, a Kubota mx5200 or a m5660. We'll the Kubota dealer has a used 2010 m5040 4x4, loader, r4 tires, top, 1remote with hydrologic...

I have an M5040 Cab tractor that develops a loud brief squeal coming from the area of the turbo when the machine is hot. It takes about an hour of running at PTO speed before the onset of the condition. The squeal lasts about 1/2 second and repeats randomly every few minutes. At first I...

hard to start first time each day. if I pump the plunger on top of fuel filter it will start easily and then no problem starting rest of day. I replaced the in-line valve near fuel pump but cannot find another. ??????? evidently loosing prime overnight.

We installed a beefier grill guard on the Kubota. It came with the factory OEM grill guard that was taken off when new, so it can be sold if anyone is interested.

Fellow Mechanics, Our M5040 PTO engage/disengage switch (mounted on the PTO lever) was crushed. After ordering and installing a new lever and switch from LMTractor at a cost of $90, the indicator on the cluster shows that the PTO is engaged regardless of lever position and will not allow the...

Hello everyone. Next weekend I will be looking at a Kubota M5040 2 wheel drive FEL with 7 ft bush hog. it has a little over 100 hours on it and it comes with INS. Looking online and not finding much price information. Do you think 16k is to much?

Any ideas? I need to change one of the cables and I can't figure out how to get the upper end of the cable out and the new cable in. I have it disconnected at the loader valve.I have the joystick off and can remove the square metal block that the two cables and joystick screw into, but I can't...

Good afternoon! I am looking into buying a disc for my Kubuta M5040. I will need it mainly for food plot prep on our land and a few other farms around our area. We live in southeast Ohio with a mix of flat ground and hills. I don't have much of a farming background beyond some food plots and...

My dealer is getting a M5140 for me hopefully in the next week and I would like to find someone with an owners manual that can give me the available tire spacing so I can make a decision for the setup of the track width. Also what does the manual say as to rear blade and scraper blade lengths...

Good evening! I am looking to purchase a rear grader blade for my tractor. I have been looking for a few weeks but the more I look the more confused I get. I need a little help! I have a Kubota M5040 4wd. It is a 50hp for those that don't know. I will be using the blade for grading/maintaining...

I am looking at buying a Kubota M5040. I have a question about the outside width of rear tires. Right now they measure 81" at their widest point. It has R4 tires on it. My trailer measures 75" or 76" wide. Here is my question... Is the 81" a set measurement? I have read that there are...

I have the opportunity to buy an M5040 for $17k with la1153 loader and 450 hours. Is this a good deal or do I hold out for maybe getting it for less? From an individual. Thanks

I am still weighing my options and trying to get what I need for the best price. Right now I am looking at a used L4400 with loader for $15825.00 delivered from an individual. It has 996 hours. Also in the mix is a 2007 M5040 with loader for $17k without a delivery cost. It has 450 hours. Have...

Hi, Has anyone changed the shuttle shift cable on an M5040, no cab?

It's been an ongoing project at a pasture down the road from my house. The place is ~100 acres and has been neglected for years. The Chinese Tallow trees and yaupon have just about taken over, what was once I really nice looking pasture. It's my goal to bring back the pasture to what it once...

Hello, We are pretty new to tractors, and planted our first garden (pretty decent size) this year. We have permission to use a Kubota M5040, so we recently picked up a used scarifier and have cleaned it up and painted it. I have no idea as to make/model. Today we wanted to hitch it up to...

If you have a choice between a used M5040 or an M6040 which would you choose? The smaller horse power is generally a little less expensive but is the extra horse power worth having in this machine? Does 5040 have enough power to work sufficiently?

What is the difference between a Kubota M5040 and M5140? From what I have looked up I can find little difference but Kubota would not have changed the model number for an identical tractor.

My 2007 M5040 4x4 tractor (with front loader) acts like the transmission is slipping when backing up. I checked the hydraulic / transmission fluid and it was a little low, added fluid but it did not help. Any ideas? :confused:

Wet sleeve or parent bore ?

Bought a used 2008 M5040 this past year,700 hours, even in the summer the shuttle shift is a little slow to engage when first started, Since it has gotten colder, down to 0, much more noticeable, four of five count before it engages. Once warmed up or it kept inside, no problem. Normal? Have...

Anyone load their small M series on a equipment trailer? You know, the ones with fenders on the outside? 80" between fenders. I know the specs say 73.2", but on most tractors the tires bow out a few inches.

I recently bought a grapple, that I would like to hook up to my rear remotes (I won't be using it very often, and couldn't justify the cost of a dedicated loader 3rd function). I'm trying to buy the right hoses, fittings, and quick couplers that I need online, but I'm having trouble identifying...

I recently bought a Kubota M5040 (HD/4WD/ROPS), and had gone back and forth for months (years?) before making my choice. A lot of the reason I bought this particular Kubota was the impressive lift capacity in the Loader. I really wanted to be able to unload a pallet full of material from the bed...

I am looking for some QA forks for my M5040. I would like to know where some of you have purchased forks and what you paid for them. I am also interested to see if anyone had made alteration to their forks to work with a Kubota tractor. I have my eye on some forks off a JD. Totally different...

Recently bought a used M5040. Although not ashamed to drive junk, look at my 88 3/4 ton pickup for instance, I do like to have one vehicle I can take pride in. For me this vehicle would be my 5040. Sadly it arrived from the dealer, I bought sight unseen, with the plastic/fiberglass fenders and...

Looking for a tractor in the 20-22k range(used). It needs to weigh in very near 7k (4wd, loader, and loaded tires, I guesstimated a 4500-5000 lb tractor?) to fit on my 12k trailer with a 2500lb drill) Needs to pull a 9 shank tiller (some people call them chisel plows, but it isnt as heavy or...

Ive got a Kubota M5040 with the V3007-DI engine. Trying to figure out how and if i can turn up the injector pump. Need just a little more power. Is there anyone that knows how to turn it up? Would also like to know if its possible to install a turbo and what all parts it involves. Any suggestions?

Recently purchased a m5040 and was wondering should a light come on when u put it in 4wd and also when u put the headlights on bright? I checked the fuses and they are all good. Anyone have any ideas or a tractor like this that might give me a heads up?

I recently bought a Kubota M5040 4wd with turf tires. The tractor and tires are still new (45 hours). I'd like to trade the turf tires for ag (R1) or industrial (R4) tires. Any suggestions?

I have a 2007 Kubtoa M5040 that I can't get to shift into neutral. I called the service department and they say that it is posible taht the clutch is rusted. It only sat for 4 weeks and I used it all sumer with no prolblems. I guessing something could be frozen as it is sitting out in the cold...

Over the last few months of tractor research, I have continued to lust after a Kubota M5040. Mostly because of the LA1153's impressive lift capacity numbers. The other day I discovered that the JD 50XX series will take a 553 loader, which is at least comparable to a Kubota LA1153, and possibly...

Finally got to 50 hour service on my M5040HDC (4wd). Went to change the oil in the front axle and looked in the Workshop Manual (that big orange binder) and it says there are 3 check plugs: one on each of the gear cases (or hubs) and one on the differential case (or axle). Problem is my gear...

This site was very helful when I was looking to buy, so just trying to give back some info. Bought my M5040HD (hydro shuttle, 4x4, ROPS) w/ a Loader (folks/bucket) 3 years ago, but only have about 250 hrs on it. Awsome tractor and I've had my only problem just occur. Somehow, the plastic bottom...

i was using the fel and grapple to pick up some heavy brush....back tires spun a bit and when they caught traction the tractor died...now when i go to start it, the tractor acts like one of the safety switches is not working...kind of like when you have it in gear, or don't have the parking...

M5040 used for 6 hours then engine started bogging down a would only run at an idle. Then would not start and run at all. When checking everything I noticed the fuel cap was missing. I either left it off completely when filling earlier or did not tighten. Have 1/4 tank of diesel. If something...

I just ran across this picture on Ebay, Wonder what the use of it would be? , Sure looks stable!

We intend to get one of these two tractors. We'd like to start shopping for our tractor. L5740 HSTC - with FEL and probably one or two other items; shredder, box blade, disc Tractor weight - 4233 (Tractor with cab - but dont know weight of attachments) M5040 HDC - with FEL and probably one or...

Can anyone explain the major differences - I know how to read the spec sheet and compare that way - but since I've never owned a tractor - all that info is greek to me... Is one more nimble than the other? Better resale? Less likely to tip over if used incorrectly by a newbie? We intend to...

Well I was able to demo a new M5040HDC. I will post my observations good and bad. Upon entering, the very first thing I noticed was a squewshy (sp) feel to the floor. I thought maybe the rubber floor mat was hung up on something and not laying all the way down. But a quick look showed a...

Good afternoon! So I've narrowed my choices for my new tractor down to either an M5040, or a NH TC55DA. I'm located on the Central Coast of California (Near San Luis Obispo), where prices are high, and selection is limited. Right now I am borrowing dads 1980's Kubota M series. Based on my...

I have a Kubota M5040 4wd with FEL. Need to replace old 5 ft cutter with a 6 foot. Looked at Rhino and Bush Hog. Want something as heavy duty as the tractor will handle. Very rough cutting needs. Anyone matched up cutter with M5040?

Anyone ever put AW 46 hydraulic oil in an M5040 or other M--40 tractor? I've been told it's better than SuperUDT in cold climates where it easily reaches -20F, often lower. I have also been told that AW 46 hydraulic oil is only for Kubota's excavators, not tractor transmissions. If I do use...

I noticed yesterday that a section of my Titan Front tire, around the rim area is missing. I'm not sure if this is an issue I need to pursue with my dealer or not, and was curious what your thoughts might be? Take a look at the pics, it's the rib area near the rim, and let me know what you...

Hello, as you can see this is my first post, but I have been lurking for a while now. Wife and I are looking for a tractor and would use it for a recently purchased 59-acre parcel of land in North Florida. It has seven acres total of planted pines; two ponds; two large cleared/pasture areas...

Here are the pics of my completed HYD Top Link. The link is a CAT 2 from C&CM and everything was provided except the 3/8" fittings to connect the hoses to the Top Link. I just think they forgot to provide them and rather then call and have them send them I just went ahead and picked some up so...

I just ordered my Hyd Top Link and hose kit from CC&M and had a question about what if any additional fittings I will need to attach the top link hoses to my Kubota factory rear remote? The hoses are coming with Pioneer Couplings if that helps. Thanks! Stu

Need help quick, like now. Making a deal on a M5040 HDC. Need to know what kind of rear snowblower I can put on it. Kubota makes a 74" but I can't get any info on it from their website. Do they make a larger one? Would like to put an 84" on so it's wider than the tractor (min. width is 73"). A...

I just purchased a M5040 with FEL. The Joystick on the FEL is very stiff and at times is very difficult to operate. It seems the biggest issue is when you try to push it forward to lower the FEL. Is this common on a new tractor or should I be concerned? When they delivered the tractor the...

I have narrowed my first tractor down to a M5040 (2wd) with FEL and the MX5100 (4WD) with FEL. I have received a quote on the M5040 for $23,700.00 and $22,900.00 on the MX5100. Both quotes include AG tires, Fluid in tires, and a 6ft Brushhog. I am torn between the upgraded M5040 and the 4WD...

That is the package I'm about to buy,M5040 w/FEL and 10' hog. I'm thinking 24' goose neck lowboy without rails. Looking for some input and trailer details that should not be overlooked. I will be making 2 trips per year of 800 miles round trip other than that I will be local. Thanks for any...

I've been shopping for a 45-50 horse 4wd utility tractor for a few months. I'm new to tractors and Kubota, so I could use some help. I'll be using it in the woods a lot, planning to buy a 3ph winch as well. Also I will do some loader work, but that is secondary. I really like the m5040, but it...

I have searched everywhere to no avail. Here is my issue. I bought one of the first M5040痴 in 2006 which showed up at my dealer. It has been an excellent tractor for my needs around the farm. My M5040 is 4WD and it is manual/clutch shift syncro and not hydraulic syncro. About 4 weeks...

I have a Kubota M5040 with one rear hydraulic remote, it has room for two more. After reading about the "Top N Tilt" remotes, I'd like to add at least a second remote. The dealer said it would cost around $700-800. Is this a reasonable price? Ken

Ive got a tough decision im trying to make between tractors (L with hydro, and M with hyd. shuttle). I fully understand the hydro trans (own one) BX2200. I purchased 42 acres of mostly wooded and hilly land. Ive managed to clear approx. 6 acres for a yard, house, barn. My current tractor is...

I am in need of a new tractor and I was considering the New Holland TT60A and the Kubota m5040. I have about 50 acres of pasture with about 20 head of cows. I will mainly use it to bush hog and lift 1200lbs bales of hay. Which is the better buy?

Here are the pics of my new M5040 w/Cab right after I brought it home on my trailer. I am such a "Lucky Man"! Stu

Just finished working out the details for trading in my 30 hour, 2wd M5040 and Woods BB72 cutter for a new M5040 Cab, 4wd, Hyd Shuttle, Radio, Air ride seat, Front Weights, and Woods DS 96 cutter! Should take delivery probably Monday or Tuesday next week after they get the radio and Air ride...

FYI for anyone approaching their 300 hour maintenance. The manual says to drain the hydraulic fluid, change the filters, and refill the gearbox with the oil you just drained. Well, I didn't want to re-use the old oil, and I didn't want to replace all the oil (around 15 gal.) so here's what I...

:confused:I'm looking to buy a replacement for my old Ford tractor and have pretty well narrowed the choice down to either a Kubota L4400 or a Kubota M5040 or a Kubota 3240, all 4wd and all new. All would be equipped with a FEL. The M5040 is a bit big, but may have a good price; likewise the...

On page 57 of the Operators Manual it discusses which Engine Oil to use based on whether you use Low-Sulfur, or High-Sulfur Fuel, but fails to give any specifications for what they consider Low or High sulfur fuel. My question is does anyone know what Kubota's definition is for "Low-Sulfur, and...

As discussed in an earlier post here are the pics of my new M5040.

I REALLY should have listened to my gut initially. I should have bought a cab model. I'm wanting to put up about 300 rolls of hay next year, and don't think my allergies are going to like that open station. I drove my Brother In Law's cab JD the other day, with the AC kicked wide open and the...

Does anyone know why the tnt is not an option on the M tractors through Kubota? Are they only on cat 1 machines? Does anyone know if there is any after market tnt kits, I think its c & c or carters that I have read about on hear before.

I have been reading posts about tractors here Great web site with so much info. I have a MF 245 2 wheel drive and had my mind set on M5040 w/FEL will it have more power than my 245?

Hi new to posting on this site,I am looking at buying a M5040 and they give the option on tire size 14.9 x 28 or 16.9 x 28 I will be mowing on some steep ground. I checked with firestone and this is what the saidThis is one of those questions that there is no one right answer. The 14.9-28 has a...

I've looked at (and driven) these three tractors that are in stock at a local dealer. All are about 45 PTO HP and any of them would do what I need (bushhogging, moving dirt/stone/snow, moving/stacking round bales with an FEL, moving materials with pallet forks). I'm also putting in 3000 ft of...

Hi, I am looking at buying a M5040 and they give the option on tire size 14.9 x 28 or 16.9 x 28 I will be mowing on some steep ground. Firestone said that there is no difference because the 14.9 is a little shorter and the 16.9 is wider do any of you have an opinion on this? I could go with the...

Because I found it so helpful to me when another poster on this board listed the price of his recent purchase on this board I am going to do the same. The tractor is a m5040 4WD with syncro shuttle shift, la1153 loader, grill guard, canopy, rear work light my out the door price was $26320 I...

I hope to have a tractor in my driveway by the end of next week, so I need to make my final decision. I have three tractors to pick from. Kubota M5040, Kubota MX5100 and JD 5203?. 1. Which Kubota does the JD 5203 compare to the closest?5040 or MX5100? Reason I ask is the JD is cheaper than the...

I'm about as picky as the day is long. Really. It takes me 15 minutes to pick out deodorant at the grocery. It's terrible. To add even more to the fire, I'm a cheap arse as well. So, needless to say, I spent hours of calculations, research, and hair pulling trying to come to a decision. Here are...

I live in Virginia and am contemplating my first new tractor purchase. A kubota M5040 or M6040 with FEL, 2wd, and ROPS. The price I have been quoted is 23,000 for the M5040 and 25,000 for the M6040. Is anyone hearing better prices? I'm going to be using for light haying activities and...

I want to get my tractor on order this afternoon and I am still trying to decide if I need a M5040 or a M6040. I am looking at the 4WD. I will use it to farm 60 acres, I want to put out a little hay maybe some corn and grain and do a lot of brush hogging. Dose a M5040 have the power to run a...

A local dealer priced me a new M5040DT 4WD R-1 tires open station for $20,400 0% 42 months. Is he giving me a fair price or should I check around some more??? Is it worth paying $1,000 more for the Hydraulic reverser?? I would appreciate any help. Thanks

Hey everyone, I have a m5040 open air tractor, 4x4, standard shift, with 2 remotes on the rear and one on the loader for a grapple bucket. The tractor has about 110 hours on it and is the right sized tractor for my farm. I am currently looking at trading it in on a cab/air tractor and the...

Well I've decided to sell my Bobcat S250 with 400 hrs. and get one of the above tractors for more versatile use. I build homes and although I subcontract all the labor there are times I have to use my skid steer to move pallets of sod or stone. With that said I need a tractor that has a lift...

Hey yall, I'm in the market for a new tractor to move smaller hay bales and maybe do some light plowing with. I'm thinking about the following: L4400 DT-4X4-$15,000. woods loader-$3,900 total $18,900. or M4800 Dt-4X4-$15,500. woods loader-$4800. total -$20,300. or M5040-Dt-4x4-$19,900 woods...

Looking for a tractor to take care of 40 acres. I am torn between the two tractors. Which would be easier to sell if I had to unload them. Before I have buyers remorse, I am wide open to any advise before I write the check. Thanks

I am looking at upgrading my current tractor (Farmtrac 360DTC) to a 50HP class tractor. I have looked around and have narrowed the choices down to the Kubota M5040 (with LA1153 FEL) and the JD 5105 (with 522 FEL). I have 10 acres that I currently mow, but I am going to be building a home on...

The M5040 has been at the top of my shopping list for a while now, but my nearest dealer doesn't have anything between the MX5000 and M95S in stock. Well today I finally got to see and drive the Mxx40 series - an M7040 with a cab and hydro-shuttle (at another dealer). I was quite impressed...

I have had my 5040 since April of last year. In November I brought it back for the 50 hr service and had the dealer install the quick connect couplers/lines/diverter valve assembly for my grapple bucket. up until now I have run them off my rear remotes. Well yesterday was the first time I had...

Thanks to all of you, I have moved from the L Series to the M Series. I am getting very close to buying. Any suggestions regarding price or options? M5040HDC 4W/D LA1153 Front Loader with Grill Guard M1811 72" Loader Bucket M1825 Loader Valve M9594 Draw Bar Clevis M7630 Rear Working Lights...

This should be quick. If you own a M5040 or M7040 with Agriculture Tires can you give me the width between the inner front tires and the inner rear tires? I need these numbers, so I can figure out my planting row widths. Chuck

The money difference between the two tire seems to not be much. But before I say I need Agri tires I thought I better ask you guys/gals. My use is pulling discs, tilling, and plowing in a field. I was told Ag. does better in mud, but Indus will last longer. I need your opion regarding the...

What is a Drawbar Clevis? What does it do? What is it used for? Thanks Chuck "Still learning"

Well, thanks to this forum I have decided to purchase a M Series over the L Series. I have a few questions on the M Series? A) How much more expensive is the M7040 over the M5040? {Seems everyone prefers the 70} B) What would be a good prices for the M5040 and M7040? C) All the M have a...

I prefer buying from a company someone has had a good experience with. Of course prices is always a factor, too. Saying that I live in California, but I have yet to find a resonable priced dealer. I travel to and from Wyoming all the time, thus this opens up my purchase possiblities. 1st...

I was wondering if anyone has priced out a M5040 with Cab? I saw one today with self leveling bucket, R4 tires loaded, quick attach bucket and a HYDO shuttle shift. They wanted $35000.00 and I thought this was a bit high based on the prices I have seen in the past. I have a 4520 Deere with...

I am from Southeast Texas and was wondering if anyone could tell me what's the best price they have received on a M5040 4x4 with Cab. The best I have so far is from Normangee Tractor in Normangee, Texas at $26378 Out of state prices are good for comparison also. Thanks, Todd

I was wanting to know what kind of price range peolpe are getting on the new Kubota M5040 4wd w/FEL. I live in Arkansas and have been quoted 25,500. I am like everyone else, I would drive a while to save some money. THANKS

Hello there I am another newbie, I am really close to buying one of these tractors and was wondering if I could have some help on west coast pricing (Ca). I was quoted $28k on a M6040 with 1153 loader, and $26k for the M5040. The sales person mentioned something about 600lb. weights on the back...

Help - I have a bran new Kubota M5040. I removed the front loader (easy) 4 hydraulic dis-connects and 2 pins. The only trick of course is to relieve pressure on the hydraulics before disconnecting. THe problem I am having is getting it re-connected. Pressure is relieved and quick...
