    Review: Woodmaxx MX9900 Chipper

    I have the same Woodmaxx MX 9900 chipper model, I use it a lot and I’m very happy with it, I’ve had no issues, I just ran it for 1.5 days this weekend, cutting back woodland trails. I run it on all of my tractors from 25 pto HP to 50 HP.

    PTO drive shaft???

    I’ve enjoyed those savings on buying Agri supply, pto shafts as I’ve purchased some used attachments that either did not have a pto shaft or the original was bent, damaged or similar. I’ve had good luck and no issues to date. Some of these attachments were $500, I would not spend $700 for a new...

    L3901 PTO not Disengaging Correctly

    My L3910 has about 50 hours on it and is 24 months old, it’s always stored indoors, still looks new. It just had a hard day and a half running a large chipper as I was tidying up several miles of forestry trails with a friend. My work involved a lot of PTO engagement and disengagement as we...

    Winch: Hydraulic vs. PTO?

    I do a lot of log winching and skidding with my MX5800, I use a rear mounted Farmi JL351P that is PTO driven but the winch is operated with an onboard clutch that is activated by a rope pull. I looked around in the market at different winches, here is a list of companies in the market: Balfor...

    Going to get either L2501 or L3301

    Both good tractors, my vote would be for L3301 as it has 26 PTO HP, the L2501 is sub 20 at the PTO. There are an awful lot of attachments that seem to call out for minimum PTO HP of approximately 25 HP. This fact drove my decision to buy a used L3200 and when buying an additional tractor I...

    Home Brew Root Ripper

    I was looking for something to replace a bucket on a small Kubota excavator and searched the internet far and wide for items to help me remove small stumps fast, I found a rake design and then a single point ripper for larger stumps, here are my final products that I had fabricated, they both...

    Snowblower options

    Typically you run a front snow blower from the mid pto. If you don't have a mid PTO your only option is likely to be a rear snow blower, I don't have a mid pto so I run a rear snow blower and have hydraulic controls for throw direction and angle. Do you have rear hydraulic connections, if not...

    Hydro fluid change

    My 2 L series and my MX series all say every 400 hours for fluid replacement, I also consider the number of years and will not go past 5 or 6 years without changing the fluid, irrespective of the number of hours on the tractor. I wonder why Kubota has different hours for different tractor...

    coastal multitrac tractor fluid

    Sam, I think it is unlikely that "anyone else use this" Coastal fluid as the cost saving versus potential risk is not an attractive proposal. Most owners will pay the extra to use the fluid that is clearly recommended by Kubota the manufacturer which is UDT or Super UDT 2. A fluid change is...

    Hurry up and wait

    I ordered from Brian at FitRite for a top link to fit my MX5800 2 years ago it was a nice fit and operates well. I decided recently to add a Hydraulic Top Link to fit my Kubota L3901 but do not want to wait the 20 weeks. I just measured my regular top link from center of pin to center of pin...

I'll post review when it arrives this week. Hope it will survive in the woodland too as well as the...

    How often do you change the gearbox oil in your bush hog

    I check the gearbox oil condition and level when I first use it each year. Top up oil if required, never had an issue with condition of oil. Not sure on recommended change period.

    WOOD CHIPPER

    Trying to work things out in advance is difficult, normal path is to mount the implement and then cut the pto shaft to fit, you can find many videos of how to do this online. Good luck with it.

    Oil change question L4400

    As others commented, you can use 10w -30 or 15W-40, I would not recommend that you mix the 2 different grades of oil.

    7200D Hydrostatic and FEL issues

    I’d treat it like a new tractor and do the initial filter and fluid change at 50 hours after that revert to the normal service recommendations.
