Looks like a pretty handy kit. I haven't used it but did something similar on a JD 4840 years ago when we upgraded planter and needed more remotes. Put a power beyond on the tractor and some electric valves like this kit has and it worked well. I may give this kit a look if I decide to add rear...

Thanks for all of the reply's Doesn't sound like any deal had steered anyone away from synthetic. I was surprised that two dealers in two different states didn't like synthetic. I too have used synthetic since the 70's. All but one tractor and my old Cat track loader run synthetic on my...

So in the last six months I have bought two new units with Kubota diesels in them Grasshopper 325D and a MX- 6000 tractor. I grew up in the oil business and have always used Mobil Delvac or Shell Rotella. I have a couple older diesels that I use conventional oil in but the rest of the fleet on...

Ken you have a nice building there. Glad to hear you had a contractor that did what he said he would do on a hand shake deal. I had a roofer for my house last year that was like that. He give me a estimate I looked it over and said I will get my check book out of the house and give you a down...

I normally take the ends off the hoses and use a FEL or engine hoist to cycle the cylinders to drain out the hyd fluid on used or new implements. I don't like mixing hyd oils. I do run all the same in my tractors and skid loader. I will probably keep using Kubota hyd oil in my new MX-6000...

I have been around a lot of Scag's and there good mowers. I have ran Grasshopper's myself for 20 plus years and its hard to get a better mowing mower. My last one is a 325D which is a 60 inch deck with a Kubota diesel in it. With spring forks and Grammer seat its a fast great mowing mower. I...

I was wanting to replace a AGCO ST-25 tractor with one that had a FEL. Looked at the L-2501 to stay away from the DPF. The L-2501 got sold so I looked at a L-4701 thought I had bought it. Mix up with sales guys and the L-4701 got sold. Looked at a MX-5400 and MX-6000 that the same dealer had. He...

Its been twenty plus years ago but I drove a JD low hour 4240 hundred and fifty miles from a farm sale home. Didn't want to leave it at a sale sight that far from home so we drove it home that day and into the night. Just made a three hundred mile trailer trip to pickup a new MX-6000 last week.

The sprayer I am using on the MX is the same one I had on the AGCO S-25. Its nothing special. For years I had a homemade forty gallon I ran on the AGCO. Then I ran across a TSC Fimco sixty gallon that had never been used for half price of a new one. Nice to have another twenty gallons of mix...

I can't speak about a tractor with a blower but I know when I had had a smaller blower on my skid loader that didn't take out the wheel tracks I had a fair amount of problems getting stuck. In my area when I really needed the blower the drifts were tall and I needed to blow my wheel tracks out...

Geohorn Thanks for the links. Its pretty green around here on this farm other than the blue planter, yellow sprayer, Grasshopper mower, S-850 skid loader and the Agco ST-25 and now the MX-6000. I looked a little at JD compacts just didn't care for them. Always had heard good things about...

So like the title says looking for the owners of the MX-6000's. Started out looking at a L2501 with loader and ended up with a MX-6000 with a loade. A mix up with two salesman kept me from buying the L2501 and the next ones I found had a very high price increase. Found this MX-6000 150 miles...

Alter Glad to here you got your tractor. I looked real hard at the L2501 because I didn't want a DPF on the farm. I was replacing a Agco ST-25 that has been a great tractor that I use a ton in the summer for spraying. Wanted a loader this time to do small loader jobs and not ruin the yard every...

I have several dump trailers that I pull with a tractor. I have never had the brakes hooked up. Slowing down has never been the problem. Dumping is the problem usually the bumper pull ones are the ones that will try to lift the tractor up when dumping. My goose neck ones have never been a...

Thanks I will try to P.M. him.

tpmx was hoping to get some information on your belt driven saw.

If you don't mind I have lots of questions on your saw build. Found your build by searching looking for ideas to belt drive a saw just like you are going to do. Is that bar a 404 or 3/4 what size shaft for the drive sprocket. Size of the drive sprocket? What rpm do you think your saw will be...
