M6800

Montana_Jack · Sep 12, 2005

I have the M5700 cab model. The cab comes in handy when I'm raking the field in 90* heat. I put the air on & listen to Rush or FM. With all the dust that was flying, I couldn't imagine doing the job without the cab. I push an 80" snowplow with no problem. Other attchments are 4 in 1 bucket, Woods 8400 brushbull, TR3 rake. I had a woods 9000 backhoe and it was a great unit but very cramped working with the cab. I finally traded it for a Bobcat 430 excavator. The tractor is pretty awesome.

I decided dive in head first and go for it. I am picking it up Saturday morning. Thanks for all your help.

Its Wednesday and we still haven't seen any pictures or a post about your new tractor. C'mon, I know you have to be enjoying the quiet comforts of your new cab tractor, but I also know for a fact it doesn't have a bathroom in it. So, next time you step out for a potty break, on your way back to the new tractor, grab a camera, take some pics, and let us see your new beast of burden.

I have a M6800, 4x4, cab. bush Hog loader, forks, round bale spear, quick detach skid steer compatable. I have owned it for about a year and a half. It has the xtra hydralics behind (2 spool) and a couple of weeks ago I put 600 pounds of weight in the back hubs on the inside (can't hardly see it, but you sure can tell a difference and it makes the ride a lot better) I baled (5x5 round baler) around 2 hundreds acres of hay this year and had 0 problems. So far I like the Kubota better than my 285 MF, 3600 Ford or 5210 JD. The cab isn't as big a some, but I believe the heat and AC are second to none in the cab. On a 95 degree day i never turned the AC above the low setting. The engine is quiet in the cab also. The only thing I had a problem with was the draw bar sets 20 inches off the ground which doesn't work good with some machinery. I bought the clevis attachment and put on it that makes where you can hook equipment 5 inches lower and that solved the problem. Any other questions you might have I believe I can anwser them. From my experience so far these are tough tractors. A lot of people want to say they don't weigh enough, but what causes this is Kubota does not put as much cast in their housings as other tractors which make them weigh less, but are stronger (You can look at the housing and see this with your own eyes.)

I absolutely cannot get enough of it. It is so much smoother and more powerful than my 3130 I can't believe it. My wife is truly a Kubota widow.
I will post pictures as soon as I can figure out how to reduce the image size enough for this forum to accept them. Thanks.

That great info. I appreciate your input. I was wondering about the hook system and that answered that question.
