There's a 180 for sale about a hour or so from here and I'm looking for a backup for my Kubota M6800. According to tractor data, the 180 is quite a bit heavier than my Kubota which would be a good thing. Only issues I can see are the exhaust height and the low gear speed. According to tractor data the exhaust height is 90". Is this right? That would put the exhaust at 7 1/2 feet? I know I can cut the pipe. Just seems mighty tall for a 70 hp tractor. Also is the 2.1 mph in 1st gear correct? My Kubota with 28" rears runs about 1.6(?) I think and can run out of power with a windrower in heavy litter. Think of a windrower as a 6 1/2 ft tiller 6 inches deep in heavy soil. Even if it's not the best option or just flat won't work I'll still call about the tractor. Any quirks other than the normal gear jumping?
