Tried out a new 7040 and a Case 75c

screamin400 · Aug 8, 2018

Good info guys. I sure do appreciate it. I finally got my price on the case 75c yesterday at the farm show. It is a 2017 model. Triple outlets, front outlet, fenders, self level bucket, filled tires, I think that is it for what I remember at this second. 46900 at 0% 60 months. The Kubota set pretty much the same came in at 51900 for a 2018. Both pretty aggressive pricing. I have to lean the red direction at this point. Very nice tractor. Loader feels nice and smooth. I have driven it twice but not for any real amount of time.

I watched this last week and I am thinking he purchased the wrong tractor. Too short of a wheelbase possibly. 10k is a good amount of weight but he needs more. I read where other folks said it needed more power. Guess it depends on what your use is. He was pretty thorough

Your specification analysis is quite thorough, however there is an error in hydraulic output capacity. The problem is the manner kubota prints their specifications. The 16.2 GPM for the kubota, is actually output at the remotes. They do NOT list the additional steering pump volume delivery. This only applies to the 12 x 12 tranny models. Advantage kubota-this category.

Again, your assistance w/ tractor specifications has been an outstanding resource. I am waiting for a tractor data e mail. Do you know where the 2018 mahindra 6065 is built? This replaces the M Force series? Has a mahindra engine but that doesn't always tell the entire story.

Major, are u sure? I am on Messick's website looking thru parts for M7060HD and I can only find one hydraulic pump listed and just a steering controller for the steering with 4 line inputs. (2 from hydraulic pump and 2 going to steering cylinder. I believe directional flow thru the steering cylinder turns the wheels. Am I missing something? Does the 16.2GPM flow to the remotes lessen when the steering gets used? How much gpm flow does the steering cylinder rob from the total 16.2gpm if so?

Found this thread on another competing board:
Does the Kubota M7060 have a separate hydraulic pump for steering? - OrangeTractorTalks - Everything Kubota

Where is Neil @ Messick's or another Kubota dealer/mechanic to confirm or deny this information?? Inquiring minds need to know.

P.S. I was reading some threads on Kubota M7060 prices and that model might actually be less or about the same than the Case 75C so it may just come down to features liked the most by the OP.

Found a left over 2017 75c priced with triple rear outlet, one front outlet, fenders , self level loader for 46900. The 7060 was 5k more

I watched that video a while ago as well and he pretty much liked the tractor - I think his biggest complaint was it got a little warmer in the cab on 100 degree days because of the hi-vis cab because he was in the South if I recall right. The A/C couldn't completely keep up. You and I need the heat more months out of the year than the a/c up here in PA and NY. I think he was around 600 hours on it when he gave the review if I remember right (didn't watch it again before commenting here).

There is another guy who savages his NHT4.75 open station in a scathing review but my overall impression is that he was creating his own problems by lack of care and maintenance and if he did have issues that either his dealer refused to fix them as he claims or more likely he pissed the dealer off by going ballistic every time he had an issue big or small and the dealer shut down on him and refused to help anymore. YouTube is littered with videos from the overseas versions (TT4.55, TT4.65, TT4.75, 65C, 75C).

By front outlet you mean 3rd SCV style for using a grapple or turning a snowplow? It had the loader joystick with the buttons? If so, then you are right near the price I got. Mine has the air ride seat (useful) and the lift-o-matic option (useful only when I'm plowing, tilling and mowing) but only 2 rear remotes. CNH was supposed to be offering 1.49% for 84 months at no additional charge for the 2017 models as well which helps bring payment down if you are financing and the actual interest paid isn't too bad (I think I'll pay $3k in interest if I take all 84 months to pay for mine which includes the price of the backhoe and CNH insurance). They are not advertising it so you would have to hit your dealer up to get it.

If I do get it the tractor will get put through it's paces. Maintenance is key. I have had great luck with my Mahindras but I maintain them very well. I make my living with a tractor so maintenance is key.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 75C supposed to be a higher-end tractor than a M7060? I always though a M7060 was more a competitor to say my tractor a JD 5075E, or maybe a Farmall A/comparable Workmaster if you don't need a cabbed tractor. Even thought I didn't seriously look at the Farmall 70A or Workmaster 70 seeing as they've gotten very lightweight compared to the older 75A and equivalent NH. Plus smaller tires, and they only have a basic 8x8 synchro tranny.

Anyway I always thought of the 5075E as the M7060's primary competitor and the 5075M as the 75C's main competitor. If so the 75C should be a nicer tractor. It's larger, more expensive, has more capable stats, and it doesn't budget on things like smaller front tires, etc.
