I semi retired my MF65 gas after 42 years of hobby farm use and replaced it with a new MX6000 mainly because I am creeping up there in age (79) and wanted power steering, faster hydraulics and getting rid of the clutch. The Kubota fit the bill in those areas. What I liked about the 65 that the Kubota does not have is the hand crank adjustment of the three point Hitch that I could reach by leaning over the back of the tractor without getting off. To adjust the Kubota you need to get off and awkwardly adjust the tilt by wrestling with a square tube type adjustment. The MF65 also had ground speed PTO which the Kubota does not have probably because of the HST. I also don't think these tractors were designed for a 6'1" 185lb operator with normal leg length and size 13 work boots. What I find a little awkward is the HST control when backing up and twisted in the seat looking back. That also raises the problem of the seat and steering wheel position. To comfortably operate the HST pedal my knees should be at least parallel to my hips rather that above them. When I added a couple of inches to the seat to accomplish that my legs get in the way of the steering wheel when I turn in the seat. To fix that problem an adjustable tilt steering wheel would be nice. Overall I am happy with the Kubota but they could maybe accommodate us taller guys with a few improvements.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
