M-Series Snag!!!

Chuck, sort of sorry that you have to wait to take delivery because I talked you into that 3rd rear remote. But 2 weeks to wait is nothing. When I ordered my 7520 I was told 3 weeks for prep & 1-2 weeks for delivery. 90 days later, it arrived. I was not a happy customer at that time. It was worth the wait, and I have been one happy camper.

One other thing to keep in mind, is when you decide that you might need certain implements, look for them used 1st. You can save a ton of money if you are able to find what you need out there. I would guess that I saved well over 10k on my 8',12' off set disk & 102" flail mower. And that is including the money spent to rebuild both sets of disks

Good luck with your new tractor and sure look forward to many pictures of tractor and implements.

Oh, don't apologize. I'm glad I'm going to get that third remote. Something always bothered me about that blank lever slot on the control console anyway. Now at least it'll look better if nothing else; even if I never touch that 3rd remote lever! Actually, I'm sure I'll get a batwing mower at some point in my tractor life and I would much prefer to be able to control each wing independently instead of having them "tied" in together to one remote. I've been planning and waiting on a tractor for so long that a couple of weeks ain't nothing. And when it does finally get here I probably won't believe it.

Besides, my oldest daughter is having her 5th birthday party on Saturday. My wife was extremely worried that I would've just gotten my tractor right before her planned party and I'd not only be worthless, but absent from the party. That wouldn't be good on oh so many levels.

Chuck, if we can just figure out where to get the mating plug for the electrical aux outlet behind the seat in the m7040? The dealer has not been helpful and I am at loss where to find it?

I'll see about asking my dealer today about it.

m7040, I believe if the outlet that you have has 7 prongs, it is either a std rv trailer plug [ flat pins ] or a std semi trailer plug [round pins]. You should be able to get either plug at a Napa parts store. You most likely will find that it has the round pins and is a semi type end.

Hope this helps

I didn't think he was talking about the 7-pin trailer coupler on the rear outside his cab. I just assumed he was referring to an aux. 12-volt outlet under the seat area inside the cab. I know many of the smaller Kubotas have such outlets in that location and I believe the M-series Kubotas do as well. It's for running electrical accessories. To be honest though, I'm not familiar with the appearance or layout of the outlet.

 

[m7040]

yes it is the three prong 12 volt aux outlet covered by a black screw on cap. It is located just behind the seat on the floor inside the cab.

Sorry, misunderstanding on my part.

Might that plug be for the air ride seat? it has a compressor unit in it I think.

 

[m7040]

I have the airseat and that is hooked up separately. It is simply a aux 12 volt outlet for other 12 volt needs such as lights small air compressor etc. it is listed as such on the wiring diagrams in the shop manuals
