I'm going to hate to see the kabota go. But I do know how you feel about letting something go. But if its time to change. Let it go and get something new. I'm glad that you are getting something new. You deserve it
Ben, it’s hard to part with an old reliable piece of equipment but I think you might the right decision. I think you went for a John Deere. I’m excited to see exactly what you went for and I look forward to seeing you put the new tractor through her paces. Thanks for sharing your tough decision and your exciting news about your new tractor .
Hi Ben, hopefully you and family had a great thanksgiving…when I was tractor shopping a few years back I wanted to stay with Kubota, but with covid restraining inventory and the prices to order one, I went with a New Holland WM120, and a LS MT347. Both have served me well overall.
Ben, You have a unique channel with nothing like the content I have seen on others...very down to earth and activity related. I am sure this will continue with whatever tractor you pick.
You’re right it won’t change much. Just think it will give me more new content ideas. The Kubota has done and I’ve shown everything possible with it. Thanks for watching!
you do what you feel is right Ben concerning the tractors thats all we can do with anything..if i had to venture a guess and a hope i would hope the new to you tractor is not green and my guess would be a massey ferguson 2600 series prob somewhere around the 74HP mark.
What is it they say, all good things must come to an end? I don't know if I agree with that, but I sure don't mind when bad things come to an end. I can understand your reason for trading it for another newer one and the reason for changing. Good luck with it, I hope the new one is as good for you as this one. I think it's a John Deere 5075E! Have a great weekend!
I was really happy with this salesman and part availability should be good with this dealership. I was really torn between two different brands but I’ll explain why I steered away from one of those in a later video. Thanks for watching
Great video as usual. Congratulations on buying your new tractor but like you said it’s hard to change but I think you’re doing the right thing. Congratulations. Awesome job.👍
@ no problem, my friend I had to do a lot of changing myself in life but you’re going to be OK can’t wait to see your new tractor I think you made the right decision. Everything happens for a reason. Happy Thanksgiving.👍
Ben pray you and your family had a thanksgiving. Believe the new tractor will be an eighty hp with loader four wheel drive. Don’t see you with another Deere or massy or new holland, but a tractor that is like your blue tractor perhaps a LS model. Thanks for the vid. Take care and look for the new addition. Have a good one.
I have a M9540 I use for raking,tedding,and moving rounds bales around. It has been absolutely a great tractor. Was considering trading on a John Deere as my other tractors are,but decided to keep it. Starts up every time and goes to work. Fortunately my M9540 is pre emission,another reason to keep it. Looking forward to the reveal.
I know how you feel when it comes to parting ways with a good ol' faithful tractor. I've got an old Allis B that I used to mow with and it runs so good I just can't bring myself to part ways with it. It's been a great old tractor and other than normal required service I've only had to put brakes and valve seals on it. While I'm not a Kubota fan boy, I know they make great equipment and are known for being super reliable and you've really used the tractor to it's full extent. I am writing this at the 11 minute mark and I'm going to wager a cold Mountain Dew that you are going with a Mahindra. I think about any good heavy tractor available these days will be a good and worthy tool for you. There will always be some give and take when you consider one brand against the other
I my opinion I would keep my tractor that has been good to me. Yes , you may have to spend some money on it but the new tractor will cost even more. I hate to see you sad later , put them parts back on it before it's too late my friend.
Too late for that. But with UA-cam I’m hoping it will help draw in more views. I’ve shown all I can with the Kubota and it’s to the point with the emissions on these tractors its value will drop drastically. Looking around you see tons of them for sale at 2100-2500 hours. DPF filter replacement could cost $4000 dollars and tires will be $3000 and you’ve still got an aging tractor. Keeping these new tractors for 30 and 40 years like the Massey 245 isn’t going to happen. Thanks for watching!
@@khtractors Ok , you may be right .but the tires will be ok for many more hr. 4,000 for a filter is nuts but tractor is worth it. I hope the new tractor does you right !
I completely understand. I sure miss my 1998 Massey Ferguson 231 tractor. After owning it for 17 years, I sold it a couple months ago. I knew I would miss it once it was gone. I now own a Yanmar YM2500. It’s a BIG, HUGE difference in tractors. I’m curious as to see what tractor you’re gonna get. I could be wrong, but I think you’re going with a John Deere.
From the info you did disclose I’m gonna guess a John Deere from 5060 to a 5075 the 5 series has been around a long time and you said the model has been around but has been revamped as of 2023? The deer switched to no regen emissions in 23 and upped to heavier tire sizes I think if it is the Deere you will enjoy the heavier overall weight of the tractor over the Kubota as well just my guess 🤷🏻♂️ excited to see your choice!
Last spring I passed up a low hours M7040 a neighbor was selling. I'm still kicking myself for not buying it. I've also been eyeing a new Deutz-Fahr 5080D but it's awfully hard for me to justify that kind of expense. I feel your pain. It is a very hard decision to purchase new equipment. Good luck with your new tractor.
It’s a sad day for sure Ben, but hopefully it start to new and exciting day to, I believe it will be JD or Massey Ferguson and around 70 to 75 hp, can’t wait to see what it is, God Bless
My guess is a Case 75C. Hate to see the Kubota go but don't blame you based on the emissions "crap". It's a shame they have to put that junk on these engines. Good luck and be careful lifting that heavy stuff - you'll get a hernia. Take it from someone who knows!
I have a M4D-071 with the 3.3L engine. If you are selling the filters and assorted parts that you may have collected, please let us know...I may be interested. My 2019 has only 325 hours on it and I want to keep it pristine! I have used your videos to help me in that process, so TY for that!! Good Luck!!
Iam excited to see what your gonna go with. I have a 5065E Deere and I have been thinking of switching. I have run Kubota and Deere I liked my Kubotas a little more than the Deere. But no issues with the Deere. I have been looking at a case of Massey Ferguson
I think Kubota has just a little better engineering than about any other brand. But I believe I’ll be happy with what comes next also. It will be interesting comparing the two for sure. Thank you.
@@jashealcon9450 I’m still in the woods and around trees too much to get a cab. If I had to be out in the winter I’d definitely get a cab. But I can usually pick and choose my battles on the worst days. Thanks for watching
Yeah I get that, just not sure how long trouble free will last. $3,000 for tires and who knows how much for the def system in a couple years. That’s goes along ways into a new one. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors I wonder if ritchie bros (or similar) would be worth checking out?! Or facebook Market place and try for a local shipping quote, but also.. i have NO DOUBT some othger UA-camr Trucker/HotShot channel would be MORE than happy to work with you, to get you them (or for that matter a whole new trac)from near ANYWHERE in the U.S. ?! Maybe South Georgia Hotshot or Gentry or or.. Just a thought, a collab might be cool x2 parties!
Well, you asked for guesses. I'm going to say you've gone totally to the dark side and got another Deere. You wanted specifics......5075M. So there you have my guess. I knew it wasn't a favorite of mine, A Massey 4707, because whatever your new one is it has emissions. I would love to find something like your 6060 nearer to me to pick up 8-packs of squares and leave my skid loader on the yard avoiding tire damage to hay fields (the balding tires would be just right). You mentioned that your Kubota has been worked hard but taken care of. Worked "normal" in my area on that class of tractor would be buried in livestock manure from life in a feedlot. The thing that comes to mind when you mention staying with an open station is all of the field borders with overhanging branches that you show when mowing and baling, not an issue here in NW IA. Insane wind, sub-zero winter weather, and an aging operator tip the scales in favor of cabs here. I found you while researching 1745 MF balers. Ended up with a Vermeer when the Massey got pushed out a year. Best wishes on the new ride, and it might not be too late to donate the M6060 to a deserving follower from Iowa......might generate lots of "clicks"?? All in fun, will check in for the reveal.
You have done a lot of work into that tractor keeping the maintenance up and whoever gets your tractor is getting a good one

You got that right!

Thank you so much!!
Congrats Ben!!! I love new toys. Very exciting and can't wait to see the new tractor.
Awesome! I’m looking forward to it also. Thanks for watching
Congratulations Ben. It's hard to part with the old. And hoping the replacement will fill the gap as well as what you're trading for.
@@jimconnor8274 yeah I think it will do good, even hoping for maybe a little better in some situations. I’m anxious to see. Thanks for watching
Exactly why i found a low hour m7040 Kubota. Every brand seems to be hit or miss on issues with emissions or electrical these days.
@@brianjennings1975 a 7040 will run forever with minimal repairs. Good choice!
