M6800 kubota

[Cress27]

Anyone ever own or used one? I've found one local at a good price. It's main job would be raking and bale moving 15 foot batwing on pretty hilly ground and feeding in the winter time. And possibly pull a 504r Vermeer baler but that and mowing is primarily the 4430s job.

We have one and love it. It's a good size for a lot of different things. It's our primary tractor for raking, tedding, and feeding hay in the winter. Our bigger tractor was down for a few days earlier this season, and we used it as a backup to bale with our 504r classic baler, and it did a good job. I just had to go a little slower than usual on the hilly spots. If you havent worked with a Kubota before, it will be lighter in the rear end than you are probably used to. Fluid in the tires or weights on the wheels will help some with that tho. The Kubota series with the 6800, 8200, and 9000 were some of the best ones they've made in my opinion. I wouldn't hesitate one bit to buy another.

Very good first hand report.

I have a M6800 and M9000 as they are older tractors. So far other than a clutch pretty much zero other problems. You listed pulling a 15 feet batwing as that might be a little much as my 12 feet batwing is a load in thick vegetation behind the M6800. I put wheel weights on the inside of the back rims of the M6800 plus fluid in the tires and it made a difference.

I have an open cab one that I bought used about 10 years ago. Its a pretty reliable machine. I use it mostly for feeding and putting up hay. I have liquid in the back tires and its still a little lite but will handle a 4 x 5 1/2 round bale. Like Trent said, the 15' batwing is a little much for it. They are easy to work on and maintain. The nice thing about these older machines is that they maintain their value.

Great review. Im familiar with kubotas that's all my dad uses I put many hours on his m-110 we done a lot of warped silage bales and it was light on the back end. I only do dry hay. It's a 2001 with 3,000 hours cad 4wd loader

I can not tell from the pics, but if it has the hydraulic shuttle and everything else good that is not a bad price.
