Hi Neil. Great video, as always. I recently purchased a M7060 and your videos factored massively into my buying decision (I'm on the West Coast otherwise would have purchased from your shop). In a previous video you asked for suggestions for new videos, so I have one. It is undoubtedly a departure from your current format but please give a moment to consider it... You've mentioned many of your customers are first-time tractor buyers. I am as well, and in general I'm new to farming. Loving it, but still a newbie. I wonder if you would consider a series where you interview extremely seasoned, professional farmers about things they wished they'd known when they started. For example, you have a video on how to operate the draft controls, but I'd love to hear a _lesson_ on the subject from a professional farmer with a lot of years behind the wheel. Someone who could give both an overview and detail many nuances and gotchas. Perhaps a series on how to use various implements together to do common jobs (tillage, clearing, etc.). There are a million more ideas in this vein, all revolving around the idea that you could promote tractor education using your channel as a platform. My grandfather was a D9 Cat operator for years and I was too young to learn it from him before he passed. I sure wish he'd been able to pass some of his knowledge down, and this is the inspiration for this comment. Thank you again for your videos and your consideration.
I would really like to do more with other people. The problem has been most people are very camera shy and not interested in talking. As we're a dealership, I'm also careful of not giving someone the impression that we're exploiting them. .... now if someone volunteered :-)
Neil,
Just bought an M4D-071. Will be delivered in about a week. I noticed on the right rear door jam, there’s an ear with two holes. I assume it’s for mounting hay and gps display. However, I can’t find anything that tells me how to use it. Please make a short video that addresses this hard point. Also, would love in the same video a tutorial on mounting displays and options in the cab. Your the best on RUclips for explaining Kubota equipment. Thanks.
I bought a m4d-071 in october 2019 in liveoak fla. The air struggles if it is over 85 outside, it has the 320/70/24 tires on the front with a loader and sitting still the front wheels only turn 1/4 of the way and stop until you move, dealer and kubota say it is operating within specs and tint your windows. Great engineering kubota!!!!!!!
Neil, you are one of the best products specialist on RUclips!
Definitely 👍
I agree!
My m6060 has the constant RPM button, if you have hills and need a constant rpm on an implement it will hold it steady for u instead of going up and down, the reason u may not leave it on is it uses more fuel to hold the rpms steady, it increases fuel use under load to maintain rpm. So u can turn it off and potentially save a bit of fuel, if that matter to anyone, lol
How wide are those two tractors?
Neil on the kubkta website it states that the m7060 is 73hp and the m4d71 is 71hp it was my impression it was the same engine?:can you clarify?
Changes in the driveline of the tractor. 12 speed, 540e, more hydraulic flow.
Thanks good info
I've got a dumb question why is there more video's on 7060 an no video's on M8200 I would rather have a little bit bigger tractor with a turbo
No one was making RUclips videos in 1997 :-)
Since you guys sell both which do you prefer deluxe m4 or Powerstar 75?
not our job to tell people what to buy. Each fits a customer differently.
@@MessicksEquip
Thanks for the response. But I'd have preferred something along the lines of "I prefer this and this about the Kubota, but this and this about the NH." Lol
@@ahineman123 A dealer will always be very careful about comparing their brands in public. Neil was actually much more open in this one (noise level NH vs Kubota) than what you would normally expect. In person I'm sure Neil would be much more willing to talk about Kubota vs NH and Case.
I do not have a new holland dealer local so it would be helpful to see a feature/price/power comparison. New holland has a RUclips video comparing the 75 to the m7060 from earlier this year but nothing comparing the 75 to the m4d
The fact you don't have a dealer nearby should be a major factor.
"M4D a less DELUXE".........
Thank you for the detailed comparison.
Can you please compare the M4D against a Case and/or a NH equivalent!? That would be nice if you could...Things like real world loader capacity, features, and more...
The 12 speed is where the speed comes from. My M7060 with the 12 speed runs 25 on the road.
My B2601 is mostly perfect for my 8 acres. But I would love that M4D for like 2 days a year, LOL. I guess once the snow starts, I am also going to wish I had a cab too. :D
That’s a legit, no bullshit product review.
Nice work!! 🤘🏼
Thanks for another informative video Niel. I just got a 2012 M7040 garage kept with 435 hrs. I honestly would not trade it for the M7060 or M4D-071. Aside from being pre-Tier4, I like the manual PTO engagement and I like all the other bits that aren't electronic. The more electronics the more opportunities there are for issues. I do like the hand brake on the newer models. The M7040 also has the two position pin on the loader for 10% greater lifting capacity. Tomorrow I install the rear window wiper kit for snow removal duties and this summer I'll add the Grammer air ride base as well. I'm sure it's a very nice tractor and will be perfect for a lot of people. I just prefer the more simplified design of the M7040.
Thank you for more information on the M4! I liked the way you displayed the information up on the screen.
are those work lights halogen or LED? they looked like LED...
LED, I said it wrong the first time through.
I looked at both of them very closely but still went with the HDC12 with radials, cast wheels and 3 remotes. Just did not like the controls in the new M4, especially the big console thing hanging off the steering wheel. The M7060 may be an old model, but its a really good design with the bugs ironed out. I would never buy a first year edition of any machine, dont want to be a guinea-pig for the Kubota R&D guys.
Not everyone wants a cab! Hope they don't obsolete the 6060 and 7060.
No plan to at this point.
My neighbor got a new m7060 and it won’t lift the front tires off the ground with the fel or loader bucket.
Is there a setting we’re missing.
Have the hydraulic pressure checked
So confusing with the model numbers. For years here in Aus any grey market models were easily identified by ending in a 1 or 2, then we start getting B2601 etc now M4D-071!
The road speed of this tractor is very exciting particularly for snow removal.🏎
the m4?
@@nocoolname32 ahhhh yeah. That’s the focal point of the video.
i almost get the hunch Neil prefer kubota over the rest.!
Ugh I got the m7060 and I wish I got the M4D smh
I was in the same predicament last winter, buy the M7060 or wait to see the details/pricing on the M4D. I found a third option, and ended up buying, a NH Powerstar 75 that essentially the same as a M4D
Joel Rarick
How are you liking your powerstar. I bought a 2018 PS 75 and within the first 110 hours the lift cylinder on the tractor went bad, looks like it was ran through a cheese grader. Took the dealer month and a half to fix it. Needles to say I’m looking to go orange.
M4 hydraulic pump is just too much, wish I would have bought the 7060…also idk why kubota can’t have auto off for the pto along with external 3 point arm lever…the knob is an add on and is stupid looking
I love both of these tractors and appreciate your comparison! I pick up and deliver for a 3 store Kubota dealer in Mississippi.
Can you still get a backhoe for the M4D? I had one priced out on the M7060
Yes
Two things
Why no self leveling loader?
Does the m4d have LED lights? At one point you said halogen and at another you say LED.
self-leveling is an option on most Kubota's. Few people opt for it. Yes.. its LED lights, I misspoke the first time though.
Thanks for the clarification Neil
U can lift and dump at the same time u don't need self leveling not like a deere!
Why did you lose 4 pto hp verses M-7060?
Good question. Its likly the same as the old model. Kubota has been changing to a more conservative testing standard and we are seeing this kinda thing a lot. Likely related to the briggs and Kohler lawsuit from a few years ago. Curious if the rest of the industry follows.
Bigger hydraulic pumps take some power as well.
Thank you for listing the top speed
Love the M4D great Tractor
Neil, I've got a question about the Economy PTO. Take the M4D-071 for example, it has 60 PTO HP. My question is, if I were to run the Economy PTO, would it be able to safely run equipment that was rated for approximately 50 PTO HP?
Yes.
Those are LED not halogen work lights, your welcome lol.
Hey Neil could you get me the size tires on the 7060 and if there steel radial
Neil, thank you for all of your super insightful videos! Has been so helpful to me as a first-time tractor purchaser. Definitely feel a lot more confident in making a purchase. I live in Europe now, and am looking at a Kubota M4072, which looks like a very similar spec to the M4D-071 you feature in this video. I'd like a backhoe with this tractor, but Kubota doesn't seem to offer them on these machines here. The dealer is recommending a hoe which attaches via 3-point hitch. I've watched your other video warning of potential frame bending/cracking with this type of mounting, depending on the tractor it is being attached to. The M4072 has a cat 2 rear hitch and is a utility tractor with 74 hp. Do you foresee any problems with this set up? The backhoe is from Argnani e Monti in Italy. I can't find much information on this company, so that is another question mark. Appreciate any advice from you or the community on this. Thank you so much!
Neil, do you know what the actual tested pto hp is on the m4d-071, 13 hp seems like a big difference on that size tractor. Thanks
I do not.
I didn't hear a price on either tractor? Wtf
Why no description of a backhoe for this machine in the brochure? Is there a compatible backhoe?
Yes, but you should also look at M62
Does it have region
Every tractor over 26Hp has either a DPF or DOC to treat soot. This has been the case for 20 years now.
I really like your videos but are we going to see videos on New Holland???
Last Monday was the NH TS6.100? something specific you want to see?
@@MessicksEquip, I did see that video and I liked it. I was hoping you could show a video on the 40-50 PTO horsepower range of New Holland so I could compare the two brands.
@@tomtaphorn7870 T4.75, we did a video on that about two years ago.
@@MessicksEquip I missed that one. I'm specifically looking for the W Workmaster or Boomer series. I need to upgrade from my old tractor.
@@tomtaphorn7870 See the Workmaster vs Powerstar from 2-3 months ago. Boomer is too small.
Hay Neil do you take the sprayers or the combines for test drives? Also the Kabota tractor that you were showing the deluxe version the cab is bigger than my closet!
Yes, we do demo's on sprayers and combines. I don't do those myself, we have other people who specialize in that equipment and know it far better than I do.
Awesome. But I think the bucket level indicator needs redesigned.
How much more for a tractor shipped to Minnesota
Can you tell me more about that declutch system on the shifter
I really like the new m4d-071 over the m7060, i guess we will be looking to upgrade to one in the next year or two when our l5460 gets some more hours on her. Pricing for the tractor on kubota's website was not too bad also. Only question i have is what is kubota calling the "mid mount lighting kit" for this tractor?
I like how he gives you honest reviews
How about a video on getting the oil back in an M4 with loader.... I had to build a jig and use some wire ties to make it work... :)
Just changed mine used long flexible metal funnel worked decent.
Drop the loader before oil change?
They did a nice job on the cab upgrades, but really dropped the ball leaving the dated hood and grill on there.
Lol blows through a stop sign at 12 50 in the video lmao
So over 50k for a 70 hp tractor?
depends on how it's equipped, cab and loader, probably around 50. no cab or loader, it depends, but not 50, if I had to guess on a machine that size, open station and no loader, I'd be thinking around 30 grand.
Money you're asking* as dealer's margin is almost as much as manufacturers, which is absolutely disgusting!
lol! I don't know where your getting your information, but you'd pay more in sales tax than a dealer makes in margin most of the time.
