Post by: bull on April 19, 2005, 09:15:18 PM

New Tractor..... I just ordered a new Kubota 6800 4x4 w/quick attach loader, factory cab. Heat,A/C CD Stereo,shuttle shift 8 speed w/ auto reverser it will be delivered next week Monday or Tuesday... Replacing my 2000 4610 Kubota 4x4 w/ loader, Hydrostatic drive, no cab.... Due to my ankle injury I am unable to operate the hydrostatic for any length of time, longest stay on the tractor 2 hours and then the leg and for are very swollen and cause severe pain,unable to walk.... What an excuse to get a new tractor. Wife said it was ok w/ her. 8) 8)

I'll let Chuck know so he can come down for an inspection ;D. He's really busy these days, I loaded two 26"x18' pine on the bunk for him to mill, should keep him busy for awhile :D.

Not sure that sounds like a tractor or a luxury spa!! Congrats on a great new machine.

5712# plus the nearly 2000 lb for loader and bucket, and almost a 1000 lb per rear tire if calcium filled... should weigh in around 9000-9500 fully dressed...

Our new to us Kubota L5030 HSTC (50 hp cab loader 4wd etc) is a newer version of the 4610 and it weighs nearly 6500 lbs ready to roll.
