This past weekend I was doing various "therapy" chores with the new tractor... loading #1 rock, smoothing out water diverter in a woods road, using the bucket to float/level a dozer slash pile. After operating the tractor for a couple hours, I was bush hogging a grass field in high speed/1...

Nasty critters, not worth the time or effort IMHO.... I can't even give them away.... Rototillers on four legs....Destructive animals. I have vultures that waddle, they are so fat they can't fly! LOL

Pulled a #150 Feral Hog from my culvert crossing that he butt plugged. Shot him early Friday morning on my way to meet a buddy to go bass fishing. He ran 50 yards into woods, so I thought. I don't track hogs because if they run off the field, I let nature...Coyotes and Buzzards do the rest...

I rigged mine up for quick hitch hook up. I watched a lot of videos and found that the main problem with the 40 gal tank was for those who used the tank bolts to hold it to the frame. I used several layers of plumbers pipe tape to create anti skid pad and used the SS straps to hold the tank to...

What did I do with my tractor with my tractor this weekend.... Get a fast ass pig I shot - Friday morning on my way to a day on the lake - outta my creek crossing culvert. Pig ran to woods, rained like heck Saturday and must all run into the creek and the coyotes ate til he butt plugged my...

Nice one...did you loosen up your MX seat? Shackles mounted on my bucket today.

Here are my initial thoughts after two weeks of use on my new MX5400 after years of tractor therapy with a MF 245. I am primarily using the MX as a woods tractor and bush hogging clover food plots and between rows of planted longleaf pine and hardwoods on 115 acres in the Alabama blackbelt. 1)...

I installed a Great Day “tool” Mount below my canopy today. I have a feral hog problem and inevitably when I am without a rifle I see one. I bought the tool rack off A and had to scrounge and drill two back plates for the ROP clamps. I mounted the clamps backwards and it fit perfectly. It is...

I have a new 66 GRG JBar double claw grapple. I noticed the extended piston end to the top claws has a lot of slop in the claws. I installed two (BAW) washers on the inside of the pin (on each inner side of the piston pivot) and one on the outside of the pivot grapple...It could take another so...

Thanks all. Got an email late this afternoon that the service manager is gonna come out to fix my third function valve tomorrow. Cranked it up with a buddy yesterday, ran the rpms up, lifted the grapple, It squirted like Moby Dick, fluid out coming out in location of third function valve. Was...

Thanks all. Your responses are appreciated as I am a FEL/grapple newbie. I have noticed that JBAR equipment does not come with manuals, At least on the three other pieces of equipment I purchased over time, so not having one for the grapple which is more mechanical, surprised me. I guess...

New guy here with a few questions about 1065 FEL and JBar grapple. I have a brand new MX with 1065 and a JBar Grapple which I am wanting to play with, but have a major hydraulic leak coming from either the third function valve or a bad hose connection. (PIC #1 of BAT) The tractor sits parked...

Thanks guys. I like the idea of a flexible lower step @ linesman cables. I checked out SawHaul and it looks like they may have a Gunhaul coming soon...I definitely need one of those as feral hogs are running rampant here. I always see them when I’m on a old MF 245 tractor... I was wondering if...

I am purchasing a new MX5400 with 1065 loader. I have mobility limitations and will probably be doing a modification to add or lower the tractor step. Searching the internet, there are left-side grab handles for other Kubotas (B-series) from Salty Mike's Custom, and Ken's for JD.... A grab...

Pokey, Thanks....It appears that the seat in the brochure and pictured below (that was captured from Ebay) is different than yours... It appears the MX5400 seat is a one-piece seat, not split seat and back....It doesn't appear that the seats are the same... Fingers crossed that they make a...

Greetings all, I am a n:rolleyes::rolleyes:bie to theOrange Tractor Talk site. I will be taking delivery of a MX5400DT later this month... My tried and true MF 245 still rocks! The MF will still be used to do harrowing and woodsy brush cutting. I own 115 acres of a mixed hardwood/longleaf pine...
