Strengths Has cab, just got today, used with 878 hrs. Mowed 10 acres hay this afternoon, very happy. I also have a 2006 m7040.

Weaknesses None

Overall Excellent tractor. Lawson is a great dealer to do business with. My second tractor from them.

Strengths Excellent power/torque curve, trans. brake very positive & safe, seem to have less skidding with hyd brakes, powerful FELS, responsive & positive controls, great manoverability for size. 12 speed tranny & hyd shuttle great, Superior engine, min. of smoke

Weaknesses would have gone with 9540 just cause I like big, but this will do just about all I ask it

Overall superb unit, would highly recommend

Strengths Easy to start in cold weather, MFWD gets you through anything, Loader attachements can be changed in less than 5 min.

Weaknesses The joystick on the loader keeps coming loose. Looks like it could just be from a striped bolt.

Overall Great trator for the price. Almost $10,000 less that a comparable John Deere. This is the second Kubota we have owned with no problems. We also have a 7 year old M4900 that we bought new. It now has 600 hours.
