    Finally got my mx5800 today

    Congrats! Have had mine for a bit more than a year now and LOVE IT! It's a great little workhorse. I'm a bit jealous because of your backhoe, seriously considering purchasing one myself but not certain I have a real need. Oh heck, who am I kidding? I can create the need :) The fogged...

    New Kubota owner, believe I got a good deal!

    Congratulations on your Kubota! I purchased a grapple with mine and I LOVE that thing. From hauling logs to my splitter to ripping up brush by the root, it's a beast. The extra ballast will serve you well when you get/use it.

    How many hours on your tractor.

    49.9 hours on my MX5800 that I purchased new 3 months ago. I'll be completing the 50 hour maintenance this weekend. I've used it run my brush hog, box blade, move dirt with my FEL, move a lot of downed trees with the grapple (had a lot to move here in S. Georgia after hurricane Irma), and even...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Brought home my new MX5800, complete with FEL and grapple. Going to put her to work this weekend and can't wait. :) Need to clear a lot of palmetto bushes and downed limbs.
