Kubota 6800
Model Year: 2005

My Kubota 6800 always does the job. I would buy another one or two. It is dependable and saved me about $7,000 vs New Holland, $10,000 vs John Deere. If I traded I would get a shuttle, sometimes my leg gets tired working the clutch.

Pros: Dependable, good fuel economy
Cons: Clutch hard to press after lengthy working round bales

Kubota M6800
Model Year: 1998

Very dependable tractor with plenty of power. Have Kubota bucket and 10ft. 35 series Landpride field/brush cutter. Handles the cutter on steep hills without any problem. Cut about 20 acres. I do regular maintenance on all my equipment (mostly fluid and filter changes)and have never had the tractor in for any type of repair. I also have a Kubota 2400B for gardening as well as a Kubota RTV and a Kubota Z25 mower. Have not had any problems with my Kubota equipment. Just a side note... the 6800 still starts with no problem on the original battery that came when I purchased it new in 1998!

Pros: Dependability and low maintenance
Cons: Fuel filter clogs easily

M6800
Model Year: 2006

The Clutch takes some getting used to, It has to have plenty of free travel in it. When in 4 wheel drive and under a load you must use a lower gear or the clutch will chirp a bit. This may be common in 4 wheel driver models, this is the first one I have owned. I use the tractor to put up hay for beef cattle. We bale 5x5 rolls and it has no problem moving the rolls 2 at a time. The three point hook up system is sweet. Very easy to hook up almost anything. Servicing the tractor is a breeze, the hood lifts up and everything is within an arms reach.

Pros: Reliability, 3 point hook up system, service access.
Cons: Clutch

Kubota M6800 Workhorse
Model Year: 2003

I've been using this tractor lately with a 1200 pound Landpride 84-inch box blade and it doesn't even whimper. It's a smooth riding, easy starting beast and can smoothly pull a 250-gal sprayer, rotary hay cutter, or JD 347 baler with nary a complaint. I've been surprised at how little fuel it consumes (I can usually cut 12-20 acres and bail on the same tank). I bought 5-inch pipe plugs and store a chain and a few tools in the cross-pipe on the FEL. The TractorTunes radio keeps me company when the days are long.

Pros: Workhorse, fuel economy, dependable, lg loader payload.
Cons: Too big for some jobs, would prefer hydrostatic transmission.

M6800
Model Year: 2005

Good tractor. Use for all functions of running an equestrian business.

Pros: Power and lifting capacity.
Cons: Passenger side cab entrance, no remote control on outside back fender.

Hay is Green Gold; My Kubota is a Beautiful Orange
Model Year: 2002

Has proven admirable when digging cedar stumps, clearing rotten railroad ties, shredding. Hope to put the machine through its paces when the drought breaks to till and plant hay seed.

Pros: Well laid out controls; High build quality.
Cons: ROPS can be cold or hot or wet and noisy (too tight to pay for cab tractor).

Kubota Workhorse
Model Year: 2005

This has been a second tractor, somewhat accounting for the low usage hours. Neither machine has a real high number on the hour meter. The Kubota has mostly been used for clearing ground, pulling trees, mowing and some work with a three-way box blade. It has also been used to auger post holes. I have never been sorry that I bought Kubota.

Pros: Excellent fuel economy, easy 3-point hookup, strong pulling machine, always ready to work.
Cons: Difficulty raising and lowering ROP.

KUBOTA M-5600
Model Year: 2005

Excellent tractor cab and Kubota loader. Air conditioner thermostat does not work right; either hot or cold. Air cond. compressor switch quit working and had to wire a switch around it. The original battery die. I guess not bad for 9 years old. The fuel gauge in not reading the proper fuel level. It is a shame the owners know more about the tractor than some the dealers. They could not tell me where on the engine the water jacket goes.

Pros: NA.
Cons: NA.

Kubota Praise
Model Year: 2005

My 6800, purchased new, has been very dependable and fuel efficient. Very little smoke. Reasonably easy to service.

Pros: See above.
Cons: No brake indicator light. Tricky to bleed fuel line.

Kubota M6800DTHS
Model Year: 2001

Recently purchased a used Kubota M6800 with only 220 hours. Looks and operates like new. Can't really give a proper review yet as haven't had it long enough but did have a Kubota m5700SU and can't fault it other than only being 2 wheel drive. I believe Kubota tractors to be very reliable.

Pros: Very powerful.
Cons: Don't know any yet.
