Kubota has engineered out initial defects in tractors much like the Japanese auto manufacturers did to automobiles in the 1970s/80s. I could write a treatise on the reasons for this, some of which are not intuitively obvious, but such is a topic for another forum.
You can expect VERY few if any initial defects with Kubota products but there is a price to pay in certain situations.
I have a B1750HST Kubota CUT, bought new in 1993. It has proven to be one of the most satisfying purchases of my life as it has required absolutely nothing aside from routine maintenance. No problems at all. Not even a fuse, light bulb or fan belt in 20 years.
One of the problems with the M60 series (85/99 at least (have not shopped 70 series)) Kubotas is the Interim Tier IV engines, which use EGR and expensive particulate filters that must be changed regularly. I do all of my own work and, after opening the hood on one recently, want nothing to do with it. Such should not be an issue for those who enjoy writing checks.
You can still get Tier III from CNH in this HP range.
I do like the M7040 but few if any are still available and the transmission is not up to todays standards.
