I now am a tractor owner---- Team Kubota

[Cavjock22]

After countless hrs researching and talking to dealers, I settled on a 2013- 500 hr M6060....
I couldn't pass the deal.. Worked it hard the last few days and very impressed. Plenty of power and very comfortable to operate. Went thru a Regen cycle with no problems. I still would like to keep these to a minimum..
I tried to run it at about 2100-2200 RPM to minimize soot buildup in the DPF. Is that about right?

Holy crap I can't believe that think fits inside of a shipping container! Nice tractor though.

Its a high cube.. 9'6" tall inside but door is a bit less. I had about 1.5 inch to spare for roof... Now I just can't gain any weight to slip by the tire on left side.

Great tractor choice!!!
Wow that is a tight fit...
I wondered how you managed to get off and out the door...
I'm too old, fat, and a bad knee and hip would not allow me the dexterity to do go in between the tire and side of the container...
Good solution to keeping it in the dry with the container...
Don't know how air tight those units are...
You might have to vent it some to avoid sweating on the inside...
I'm sure that cab will be a blessing in the summer heat...
Congratulations!!!

Congrats on a very nice tractor.

I added some attic vents to the door hoping that gives enough air movement. I might add a whirlybird style later this summer if I see it still needs it.. Thanks for the compliment...

How about building and installing a lockable steel door in the side of the container that swings outward and is lined up with where you want to stop and open the tractors cab door. That way you can eat a donut again.

It might be beneficial to cut some small holes down low in the container to get an air flow going up and out your turbine vents. Be sure to put good small screening over the holes to keep out rodents and insects. Perhaps a combination of small screen behind some 1/2 inch hardware cloth. The stronger hardware cloth keeps out the rats and the small screen keeps out the bugs.
