Haven"t actually worked with one much. I test drove one once(M8580), didn"t seem too bad. Biggest problem I had with it was the dry clutch. Dual speed works nice, Has a mechanical shuttle which is a bonus, but it"s not power or on the steering column. Doesn"t shift as nice as a 2955, but not bad. At 4000 hours I would check the tie rods for wear. Not overly expensive to replace, but still another expense. Looking at the parts diagram, it looks like this tractor has a wet PTO clutch, which is a major bonus, Those 2 in 1 clutches can be a pain. Cab is smaller like any Kubota(withholding their newest cab), but certainly no worse than the John Deere SoundGuard. There seems to be alot of haters of the bevel gear 4wd, but it"s always the people that have never used one. Ask any Kubota owner how much trouble they"ve had and the answer will be none(withholding the M9000, with the undersized axle). The biggest downfall with it is that it won"t likely lug like the John Deere. As a utility tractor it would likely have less trouble than the John Deere, as a sole field tractor, I think you may be disappointed.

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
