Kubota M105x

[SunHeart]

Anyone have experience with these? Looking at purchasing one and am wondering if there are specific 'problem areas' to be aware of, or anything else to share (good as well!) from those familiar with them. I will be using it for haying 70 acres, loading balage and dry bales, spraying, feeding, scraping yards, and spreading manure mostly.

Here's the one I'm looking at:

Yeah lots of experience. Good tractors for small haying operations. I have 17 years combined on 2 larger versions of the one you are looking at and for the most part, they have held up well.
I noticed the rear tires are about shot, actually less than 50% tread is great for haying out East where the ground always seems to be a little damp. Helps avoid field damage like from new tires. It’s a negotiation advantage for you if you want to fuss about the rear tire wear.
The engine pictures reveal some oil and/or fuel leakage. May want to investigate that. Mirror missing. Operators seat cushion shot
Ask the seller to run it with an attachment on the PTO and see how it spins up and sounds.
Check for leaks at the front bevel gear cases (and everywhere else). I have had to replace a few seals and upgraded the bearings in my front axle on my M126X while I was in there, too.
I think the price is about right with the hours on it and the loader included. Used tractors very expensive right now.
