Set up involved removing PTO safety housing and QH15 hitch....Set it up directly to the three-point hitch.... The give you a seed and speed calculator in the owner's manual...for me it was trial and error as I was doing food plots with wheat, oats, and clover. I went smaller than I needed on...

This is the extender I was looking at to move the PTO shaft back so attachment is more accessible.

I bought a LP 2772 with my new MX and the rotary cutter was supposed to have chain guards. When delivered, it had the metal safety guard and the dealer had to order the rear chain guards. I cut my bahia grass wood roads and food plots with the metal guard and I tend to cut the roads and food...

When I ordered my LP 2774 5' rotary cutter I specifically asked for the chain guards to be mounted front and back. It arrived with the solid metal piece and the dealer had to back order to the chain guards. I noticed that when I mowed my bahia grass roads that the rotary cutter would cut...

I recently posted about having trouble accessing attachment of the PTO shaft to a MX5400. It is a real tight fit between the implement, tires, and PTO Shaft. It is difficult to attach the PTO Shaft with the closeness of the VS220 spreader and limited room. A fellow OTT member posted using a...

Last year I had a buddy use a Vicon spreader to help me with my deer food plots. I was amazed at the accuracy in which the spreader seeded a field that was 1/2 oats and 1/2 clover. It was essentially a straight line of between the two seed sources. So I knew I wanted to get one in the...

No....pallet fork, not jack....sorry....I guess the bottom line was the FEL will not handle a 2000# with the pallet forks. I was also unsure if lifting too much might blow cylinder seals.... As I said, I guess I will unload @500#s directly into the spreader when I go for the fertilizer ton...

Thanks. jimh! I had a low 3500# Utility trailer. It lifted the pallet up enough to slide it to the rear Of the trailer and then off the trailer. left to curl up, not right….dumped front end of pallet onto ground and the avalanche started. will offload 8 fertilizer bags directly into the...

Thanks. Attempted lift was with LP 5’ bushog attached. Again, a lesson learned that FEL lift capacity is without any skid steer implement. 1600# with pallet forks is @most it will safely lift. I think the pallet forks weigh more yptham either my bucket or grapple, Go figure… Thanks for...

Paul thanks for the info. I was able to lift the pallet @ knee high 76 cm/30”. Barely enough to get the pallet up to slide it off the trailer. Heck, I helped a local move a dead moo-er with ease a while back. Never thought the FEL wouldn’t lift a ton pallet. From your calculations I will need...

Ever have one of those days🙄….I picked up a ton of pelletized lime on a pallet today at the Farmers Coop. Yippee!!!! It was a cool day, I had time off, and I’m getting ready for deer season. Cleared a spot on my 20’ Utility trailer ahead of time to store the lime until I break ground. I...

Well,, I am not as deep in kimchee as you for sure....My dad did two tours in Korea and he made good kimchee....Glad he didn't bury it in the backyard to mature.... I have done upholstery work my since college.... I could sew up a cover if I really wanted one but I thought $30 was gonna be an...

Just getting back on OTT. Never found appropriate Durafitcover . WishI could. Mayb they will make one sometime? be well. Sure do love my MX5400! It handles a lot of heavy farm work.

MD, I looked at that...It seemed that removing the hook was easier in keeping the geometry the same even for my ballast box and rotary cutter...so I wouldn’t need to muck around with leveling individual attachments with the top link at all or adjusting the hook up or down a hole or two. Your...

Finally got caught up with playing on my tractor and got down to seeing how the LP QH15 would do with a scraper blade and $19.99 Ag Supply adapter. i installed lower link adapters and the Ag Supply forked upper link adapter on the blade scraper. I removed the top link hook off the QH15, i...

No sir. I had to use a chop saw to cut the top mounting bracket off. Then I used a “2 pipe and vise to bend/twist the side arms it to fit the MX step angle, Once I was close I used a pair of 6” C-clamps to pull it in closer. The rest was drilling the holes while it was mounted. Thank...

Getting old has its benefits and it’s drawbacks. Being wiser is one of the benefits, having one’s body not cooperate is another. I found a new Kubota step on EBay and looked at aftermarket grab bars (which seem to be non-existant for MX tractors) , So I took a chance on the Kubota step, and a...

I recently purchased a MX5400 and bought a JBar Grapple. 66" two piston. I didn't do much research as that is what the dealer carried....After a few modifications of replacing the pin knuckle pins with heavier duty pins and covering the hoses with wire wrap and nylon covering, I am satisfied...

The only issue I saw/read was with "leaving' the draw bar in when using a rotary cutter. There was a "possibility" of the PTO drive shaft drive to the cutter hitting the bar and bending the PTO shaft. I believe it was recommended that the draw bar be removed when mowing/bushhogging hilly...

Thanks all. It is good to know to keep an extra eye on the dash panel every 20+ hours. The instructions on the fender are a little misleading as I believe it has red dash warning light + beep + and/or yellow light on dashboard. It is also good to know that running at the higher RPMs and still...
