    I have a cutter similar to that. I hate it! One time I set it down on two tires and put jack stands under the front. I pulled right off and it was perfect to hook up next time. Wrong!! It still had to beat and pry to hook it up. I’d like to push it off a cliff but it cuts really well.

    Weakest link I have found in some 4wd tractors is the front pinion where the driveshaft coupler is, I’ve had them to strip out and cost big money to repair. The case and new holland has the strongest pinions if you do a lot of loader work. Trust me if had them fail at the worst of times

    @@bradgreenwell6097 It takes a lot to start it, but not much to run it when you get it going. Without rambling forever...If you look at the gear reduction you get... It takes about 40HP for a 6FT hog. It takes 70HP for a 7FT, it has a single blade...Only 40HP for an 8FT.- 2 blades...50 HP for a 12FT. -3 blades. They make a 10FT batwing with 3 blades, They say you can run it with 25HP. Getting them started is the hard part. keeping it going depends on what your cutting.

    I’ve had two of them. They are bulletproof for the most part. The dealer added a second SCV to this tractor, it’s had a problem ever since. I’m pretty sure this problem was caused by the dealer. I’m sure we will get it resolved.

    Great video. How are you liking the 5075E? I'm in the market for a tractor and I'm looking at a 5075E and Kubota M7060. The new 5075E's apparently don't have regen so that is a plus for me, any info is appreciated!

  • @theweekendfarmer7513
    @theweekendfarmer75139 ай бұрын

    I’m my opinion the 5075e is a much better tractor than the M7060. If your going to finance it, I think you’ll like John Deere insurance better than kubota’s. Even if your paying cash I think you’ll like JD’s insurance better. That being said, I really like the tractor still. I am in the need for something bigger for a hay tractor. So unfortunately the 5075e may be leaving the farm. To answer your question, the M7060 is underpowered compared to the 5075e. Hope this helps.

    Probably should charge for the tractor flat rate plus your time. $150 for the drive to and back plus use of tractor, implement and gas. $40-$60 per hour minimum. $75 an hour would be reasonable. In my opinion he got it half price. If you did it twice a year then you could do $200-300. That means you doubled your clientele. Just my $.02. I don’t own a tractor and I live in California where everything is expensive. Making a bit of profit will ensure you can pay for repairs and maintenance.

I was complaining when they got over $40,000!!! Its not a $65000 machine. My next tractor will probably be over 20 years old. Im not paying these prices.
