New M8540! Happy New Year!

[piller]

My new Kubota M8540HD was delivered this morning. Purchased from Barlow Equipment in Somerset, KY, great folks and a great deal. The delivery man gave us two Kubota hats, my wife was surprised that the hat's were brown and not orange.

Tractor is equipped with hydraulic shuttle transmission, 8F/8R, LA1353 front-end loader, 72" bucket, hydraulic self-leveling, quick disconnect loader hydraulics, shockless accumulator, three rear remotes, rear worklight, canopy, grill guard. Filled rear tires. Heavy duty 7' box blade.

I'm planning to buy a bush hog and harrow to clip and drag pastures in the next month or two, let me know if you have some recommendations.

Nice looking loader brackets on that tractor. Makes it nice and easy to get at stuff. Save the photos because your son will be using --and liking--that tractor many years from now.

fine looking tractor you got there! looks as if your son and his puppy are enjoying just as much if not more then you! from what i've heard and read, you're going to love that hydraulic shuttle transmission.

you mentioned you wanted a recomendation of a bush hog and a harrow to drag pastures. i dont know how thick your pastures get, or how many times you plan on cutting them but you might want to go with a medium duty mower since i don't think there are any light duty mowers(other then finish mowers but thats a different ball game) for your size tractor. check out bush hog(7'). i dont own one, i have a John Deere MX6 but that was not my first choice, the Bush Hog was. thats a whole 'nother story though as to why i dont have the mower i initially wanted. as for dragging pastures, i know nothing about that stuff but if you want a disk harrow then i could reccomend some brands. i think you meant a drag harrow though, right? anyways hope this is of some help to you. enjoy that new tractor and happy new year!

WOW pretty much says it all. blasted front wheels look dang near as big as the rears on my B2400

The fronts on our M4900 are about 4" smaller than our neighbors L2800.

Thanks so much for the purchase and the great pictures. Please let us know if you ever need anything or if you have any questions. Happy New Year!

pillar, i bought a land pride rcr25 twin spindle rotary cutter. i got the 8', 3ph model. it works very well with the 8540. you would probably want a front weight bumper and a set of weights on the front for ballast with that size mower. good luck. i prefer to mow without the loader on.

Great looking tractor! My recommendation is not to grin to much when you are using it or other people will ask to borrow it.

I put about 2 hours on the tractor this afternoon, had a great time even though it was a cold and windy day.

Brady, I'll be in touch soon to discuss implements.

Thanks to all for the kind words, have a safe and happy new year.

Congratulations, thats a great looking new tractor!!

I really like your canopy, is it a Kubota Canopy?

Excellent looking tractor, congratulations on your new purchase. Just curious, did you ever consider the M9540? Not taking anything away from the tractor you bought, I'm just curious why people get the M8540 when the M9540 is not that much more. Again, please don't take this in any negative way, just wondering.

Enjoy that great machine and Happy New Year.
