My New MX5800 was delivered yesterday

[fattball]

Yes its a 72 inch I just mowed with it and 1st gear is way to slow, my junky john Deere rider is just as fast.
But the grass was over 2 feet tall so i went slow ill mow again in a week and try to do midrange when its not so long. I might end up just discing most of it

One thing I hate so far about the tractor is the seat. It bottoms out every few seconds and Is giving me mini concussions and whiplash. I need to figure out a better shock system and new seat or something. I need a hans device to keep my head in place.

I just got off the tractor the Shear bolt lost the war vs a small rock. 2nd day and shear bolt is gone I need to buy a few of them I guess no more tractorn till Monday. I thought she was on fire when the bolt broke it smoked a bunch.

This will take care of your seat problems.

fattball. not trying to be rude, but how heavy are you? I'm pretty hefty and have had a similar issue but haven't ordered my 5800 just yet.

thinking about seeing if the dealer will install the grand L air ride seat for me.

MtnViewRanch that's the exact seat we've been looking at for our MX5100 because like most everyone says the factory seat sucks. I wonder how many modifications would have to be made to get it to fit, not worried about safety switches just bolt patterns and such?

Let me know if they do this I'd like air on mine. You're gonna love the 5200 if its anything like my 5100!

Hey Cowboy, I'm looking at the MX5800 also, which dealer did you use?

Awesome looking tractor. Just bought a MX4800 myself. They really come in handy. Enjoy.
