Kubota M5-091: 500 Hour Review – Is It Worth It? 🛠️🚜

A real-world 500-hour ownership report from a farmer who bought this 2023 M5-091 used and has had a teenager running it most of those hours. Covers DEF system management (drain-and-refill advice), a stiff loader cable fix, drawbar seepage warranty claim, rear-end weight concerns with the 8-foot bucket, fluid-filled tires, and fuel economy. Honest about minor gripes; useful for buyers weighing the M5 series against lighter-duty alternatives.
