Hi folks, first let me say I'm not too familiar with this forum and if this 1980 Kubota doesn't really fit with what the site is about, I don't mind to take the post down.
I'm trying to find a tough, reliable, versatile, maneuverable used tractor in the $8,000 to $13,000 range. It'll be transported to a few sites ranging from 2 to 8 acres for industrial hemp farming in Appalachia (eastern KY), mostly working on rich bottomland soil but occasionally doing light duty on rocky compacted reclaimed mined land. I'm hoping for 60-80 engine hp, 4wd, loader, and at least ROPS. Subsoiling, discing, rototilling, planting (drill and broadcast), loading and spreading manure, and sickle bar mowing will probably be its main duties.
I've been trolling around the used equipment sites for a few weeks and I think I just stumbled onto a good deal but I'd like a quick reality check if you don't mind. I found a Kubota M7500 (81 hp engine, 72 hp PTO) with lowish hours (low 2000s), 4wd, loader, ROPS, and apparently no mechanical problems for $8,900. Talked to a nearby Kubota dealer and they said it'd be no problem to get parts for it and work on it.
Can anyone give me a sense of whether this is a good price, and if this is a good reliable-ish tractor for the work we're trying to do? Thanks a lot

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
