KUBOTA TRACTOR PULLS LIKE A DOG!

A change is as good as a rest so this week we decided to give the M7-153 Kubota tractor a try. Huge thanks to @FJS Plant Repairs Ltd for dropping it out to us on demo. FJS Plant specialise in the sale, repair and spare parts for all plant machinery. They are the main dealer for Kubota construction Equipment, liugong Excavators, Furuakawa Rockbreakers, NC Dumpers, Robi Demolition Equipment and are situated in Timahoe, Co.Kildare.
With only 17 hours on the clock, we gave the Kubota a good spin and had it on the road drawing sprouts back to the yard with the Broughan trailer. It was then paired with the dump trailer and headed off to the field where the lads had it working hard , schlipping and schlidding on the soft ground.
So lots of really positive feedback for the Kubota....the orange is a welcome change from the usual colours of the Finnegan's tractors.....you could spot it a mile away.....The final verdict was a good solid tractor, great vision with a big front window and side windows and panel in the roof, comfortable cab and handy barcode for accessing the instruction manual.....and last but not least...just close the eyes and she will pull like a dog!

Deadly video again lads. Kubota have been around for a while and like Japanese cars in the late 70s early 80s they were odd balls until they sorted them now look at the likes of Toyota now plus the own kverneland too

[@belfastconor8521]

Prob the most popular hobby farm tractor brand in US. Great engineering, reliability and dealer support. Not popular in large commercial tractors versus main US brands who have legacy allegiance.

In fairness coming from a fleet of high spec John Deere’s to a relatively new player is a tough call but for someone coming up the way who not used to front suspension or power shift tractors may impress them more . A lot down to value for money too. Do you know how much that model is to buy?

[@crfarmlife1267]

Great video lads as always she’s certainly different 👌👍

[@declanconway2903]

Great video again lads.

[@DjDj-ww6rh]

Great review and in all fairness the green and yellow are gone over priced for most farm jobs. Maybe this is where John Deere were 45 years ago

[@joelocker3508]

I have m7 I love it

[@user-rw2um8ro2p]

Great video lads it’s a mighty little yoke

[@Gearoid35]

Nice video lads a nice tractor the kubota great comments about the old bull Paul 😂

[@SuperFen123]

We have a M7 very nice to drive and very competitive on price in comparison to other brands.

[@davidflynn9609]

Good honest appraisal of the kubota and ye didn't cut it up and rubbish it against the top spec Deeres and case tractors in the yard. They've had several good dealers in Cork for years and yet haven't made any inroads to the market. I think most guys who are budget conscious tend to lean towards a used Case, Newholland or John Deere etc. Those small annoying things that Paul correctly pointed out could be enough to turn a potential buyer off. I know that I would be slow to get used to niggling things like a clumsy shuttle lever or hitting my head off the mirrors every time etc. So no harm to point these things out. When you're paying out alot of money you shouldn't have to be compromising about somebody else's short sightedness..

[@garymadden2656]

Great video lads 👌

[@LeoMkII]

At least they won't fight you if you try to repair it like Deere does haha

[@jascollinscork]

Great video guys!!! Daddy is some pro driver..... what's the saying... "the OLD dog for the high (boggy) road(field) 🤔😂 great looking tractor ..... no too blingy though but ya wonder who these non main stream makers consult for practical everyday use/design as she could be better in a lot of ways it seems?? 😀

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one lads. Not a bad looking tractor. If they were competitively priced it might give them a leg in the market.

[@dannyjones7181]

Very bad colour !! Horrible

[@patodwyer721]

@@dannyjones7181 Like Cathal was saying , if the wheels were a different colour, she'd be grand.

[@montidell7227]

@@dannyjones7181 i know its a bit late, but kubota actually offer them in any colour from factory! I presume the more exotic the more expensive, but for how cheap they are, if the only fault is the colour you’d save a lot of money and still have a minty black tractor (or whatever colour you like)

[@billabong9215]

Sur those loads are only ½ filled. 🤣 Jerry 6420 was well impressed with the one he got on demo

[@donalfahy1933]

Paul you have pairly anything in the dump trailer

[@drone_tours]

I suppose its a good tractor for what it is and it being Japanese it will probably last forever anyway

[@stephenross1581]

Would you consider buying one if the price was right or would you prefer a used case or John Deere ?

[@alanmarshall874]

They don’t come in 6 cylinder probably won’t suit them

[@seamusmcmahon1182]

It has a very raw nice sounds like the engine is bad. Very rough noise

[@finnegansfarm9137]

It’s not too bad Seamus it performed well

[@andyfarmer1194]

I thought that tractor was two ton heavier than the 135 hp for only an extra 15 hp

[@DjDj-ww6rh]

How is arm

[@finnegansfarm9137]

Slowly but surely getting better 🤕😅

[@adamwatson6384]

How's your elbow now?

[@finnegansfarm9137]

Getting better 🤕😅

[@andrewwoodhead8305]

Cheap, leave it up at the cattle yards!👍👌🐂

[@leshughs6496]

Too much cab noise for me

[@joelocker3508]

Mine isn't that loud

[@Coleen_West]

What language is he speaking? It has some words that seem like American but then he just mumbles something Dutch or something?? No idea what he is saying.

[@orran8281]

Why clean up fields in the wet and not in summer making a mess.

[@thomassmyth1725]

Think they are getting ready to plough for potato 🥔🥔

[@drone_tours]

In the summer your not allowed to cut hedges and things like that
