So we just got a 2019 mx5200 with no rear hydraulics. We need two rear remotes to operate our mower/conditioner. Anyone know what valves/mounting bases we need and/or whatever else we might need. Also where to find them online? Thanks!

Just to be clear are you looking for 2 sets of rear remotes? You want to operate 2 different hydraulic functions at one time?

I have a MX5800 with a single set or rear remotes that I had the dealer put on when new along with a front 3rd function for grapple use. I wish I had fitted 2 sets of rear remotes back then, I so regret that I did not as I now have so many uses where ideally I could use the 2 sets of rear remotes.

I'm interested what you find out in terms of parts as I would really like to upgrade to two sets of rear remotes.

You should get parts from local Kubota dealer or contact Messick's. If you need replacement parts in the future it will be easier to get Kubota parts than trying to re-locate brand X stuff (time wasted = new layer of tractor dust)

You'll need the OEM block anyway. Just get your wallet out and smile. Both mine came with 3 sets, glad of that.

You think an MX 5200 will run a mower conditioner? Maybe a sickle bar but not a disc machine in substantial crop conditions. Not enough pto power. and really, not enough tractive weight.

One for the swing and one to raise the platform. Most discbines and sickle bar conditioners lower with gravity.

Agreed, Flip, not enough tractor except in absolutely ideal conditions.

I absolutely love my L6060 for the tasks that I use it but it is not an AG tractor and cannot be made into one with options.

Curious, Flip, do you or have you had a motorcycle with a sidecar?

SDT, who was a rider a long time ago.

I actually have 4 bikes, a Centennial Triumph Bonneville with a Motorvation custom built sidecar, a Triumph 2300 cc Rocket 3 bagger, a Kawasaki 650 ADV bike and a 1967 Norton P11A 750 high pipe scrambler in mint condition.

I rarely ride them and I should sell them except the Norton and the hack. Thinking about auctioning off the hack at Dumochell's International Auction house, It's the only one in existence anywhere. The motor is redone with sodium filled exhaust valves, head has been bench flowed and the carbs bored out. Has custom built exhaust with cryotech coated headers and racing brakes all around including the hack. The Norton was professionally restored by Marne Triumph, Marne, Iowa. All original, fun tor ride and both are head turners.

They stay in a climate controlled space when parked. ac in the simmer, heat in the winter.
