Optimal performance, a small turning
radius, and minimal fuel consumption
Mr. Mudge reported: "We used to own another tractor brand whose clutch broke down at least once a year stopping operations for a few days until repairs could be made. Unhappy about this, the day came when we decided to test drive the tractors of other manufacturers – including Kubota. In the end, the Kubota M7040 (Narrow) beat all the others for fuel consumption, performance, and turning radius.
Based on this we bought one. For the two years we have had it, there has not been a single breakdown.
There's no doubt we consider Kubota tractors to be great investments. Two years ago we started out with only one of them.
Today, we own a fleet of 16!"
