The New Kubota L5740

Well it finally happened, we all got tired of having to beg, borrow and ...uh borrow the neighbor's tractor, so we went out and got us one! The old Ford 8n just didn't have the juice anymore, not that it ever did, but that's a whole nuther story!

My mom, bless her soul, one day came in and said "pull up the web, we need a tractor" , so after many hours of hand ringing, calling dealers , fighting amongst ourselves, and discussing in a civilized manner... yea right! We narrowed it down to Kubota brand, all that just to get there ! ..yikes. So after a few more talks, and my mom's boss recommending His dealer, Which is Allied Power Mart , Talk to Calvin at the Splendora Store, he is great ....And no that is not a paid endorsement!, We made the deal, An L5740 , with front end loader and a tiller, and a front bale spear, so we are pretty much set for anything now.

The tractor was delivered on Wednesday but i'm just now getting around to posting this on Sunday, Its been non stop on this thing, It is great!! We have already tilled up the garden in about ten minutes, that usually takes all day. Moved three round bales, and cut some drainage ditches to get some of the rain water that hasn't left yet to fianlly make its way to a local bar ditch!

So that's it for now, except for some pix, I'm off to run this tractor some more! Stay tuned for more stories from Kubota country lol!
Be safe out there!

Hi Jon,

Congrats on the new Kubota! I'm actually hoping to get in touch with you on behalf of Kubota - we're working on a safety initiative and I'd love to share the details with you for consideration on your blog. Would you be willing to email me at brittany.mohr@fleishman.com to discuss? Sorry to contact you via your comment form - I can't seem to find your email anywhere!

Thank you, Jon. :)

Kindly,
Brittany
