"I use this tractor mostly for very rough bush hogging such as In the woods. I use a woods bb x 72 with it which is a monster and a woods 72" root grapple on the front. It is a tough tractor and I am hard on it. I have timber land that I manage and it is great for moving dead or down trees and cutting trails and general up keep."

"I just picked this new 2012 M7040 up a few days ago. I stumbled onto one of the last Tier III tractors around and got a great deal from my local Kubota dealer. I bought this machine to use in my food plot business for the heavier work, like pulling my 3 seed box, 2000 lb Kasco Eco Drill. It got it's first test the day after I signed the papers and it planted 8 acres in 6.4 hours with ease, in mountainous terrain. I had added roughly 800 lbs of suitcase weights and brackets and 400 lbs. of rim guard and it handled the steep hills without missing a beat. Great tractor and the UltraGrand Cab is very comfortable! "

"This is my third Kubota and second M7040. Great tractor for my needs. I enjoy working this tractor and haven't had any issues yet. I plan to get a loader soon. Wish had two remotes and more brush guards underneath is only features complaint. Very easy to maintenance and clean. The parking brake doesn't hold well but with the box blade on the ground, it holds it parked."

"Good dependable tractor with a great PTO and air conditioning. Love it and would own another one."

"Great tractor with a very powerful engine (lots of torque), much better than my previous Kubota. The cab is decent but not as good as a John Deere. I find the steering wheel to be too low which makes me have to bend over a bit to reach it, if the steering wheel telescoped it would be fine. One other problem is the placement of the 3 point hitch lever. It is very low and awkward to reach, I am getting used to it but it is somewhat aggravating. Also the 3 point hitch does not seem to have adequate range, the arms don't really go high enough or low enough. Overall I do really like the tractor, I am extending the steering wheel to fit me and I will just deal with the 3 point issues. With all that said, a great tractor overall: good steering, great engine, good loader (VERY easy to take loader off and on), great Kubota quality. For what I use this tractor for, it needs ballast. "

"This unit is a beast. The cab AC can make you feel like you are in Canada in the middle of our sweltering summer heat. Strong, reliable, well priced and backed by a great service program. Was going to buy a JD. JD was over 12K more for the same HP machine and would not budge on the price. I am very happy with unit. "

"Absolutely love the hydro-static drive!"

"I have put 410 hours on this tractor in 7 months, clearing land with a root grapple, working the hay field, clipping with a 15 ft batwing to land leveling. It has surprised me with is power, comfort, quality and reliability I have had days this tractor ran 16 hours non stop refuel it running and keep going! And I have worked it hard and abused it. Not only would I recommend it to someone else I am purchasing a second one this week "

"I have enjoyed the tractor up to this point."

"Good tractor but needs more weight."
