I retired my MF65

After 40 years of good reliable service it is relegated to more minor duties. Taking its place is a new Kubota MS6000. I know I won't be around to see 40 years on it but in the meantime it is going to fun having power steering, four wheel drive and faster hydraulics. Looking forward to it.

You can't go wrong with a Kubota. I've had my M6800, 4wd w/loader, for 20 years and I'm still on the original battery. Nothing has
gone wrong with that tractor or my neighbor's identical tractor either. Both were purchased within a few months of each other and
we're very pleased with them.

I looked up specs and assume you mean mx 6000. I see it is 60 hp. That should be just right for a 7 ft. bucket. You will not believe the advantage of fwa. on a loader tractor. Heard a
lot of good things about kubota.

Leon.... Believe me when I tell you that you picked a good one. I have the L3200'. Much smaller unit that I use solely for the garden. Very low
maintainness tractor. Great on fuel consumption. You're going to be very pleased. Wingnut

I understand what you say Leon. Back in 2016 I thought I needed a little portable, self propelled, chain hoist among other things....odd job doer
around the place workhorse. I bought a stick shift 25 hp modern day tractor with FEL and 4wd. Served me well, but times change. In January
I traded it in on a Hydro tractor (all my lawn mowers are hydros but this is the first hydro tractor) of the same size with more creature comforts.
The money is spent, the rest is what I have now to do what needs to be done..... A Hydro is a horse of a different color I'm learning. Life is
good.

My only regret is paying over $700 for
the first 50 hour service L3560. When
it's under warranty, dealer will do my
service.
Dealers wants to eat steak too.
Dealers have to stay in business.
Kubota dealer has been in business since
1967 sells big Red tractors. Can't
remember when they started selling
Kubotas. I'm impressed with how clean
the exhaust is.

I really like my 5030 Kubota with a loader.
Very handy and plenty of power.
