    Tractor shopping in TN for MX5800 HST

    We are in North AL and just went through an MX5800 buying search. There are Kubota dealers everywhere. For under 100 hp, this is Kubota, MF, JD and occasionally Mahindra country. Lots of people have older tractors. Rarely see these other brands people talk about like Kioti, LS, etc. and the...

    Rotary Cutter

    Tartar is a light duty mower. B26 needs a 48" cutter maximum. If you are just cutting high weeds, you can do it with a light duty rotary cutter, but it will take a while. if its a lot if woody stuff, get someone to clear it with a forestry mulcher on a skid steerer and then you can easily deal...

    Buying advice needed mx4800 or mx5800

    last week we saw a price difference between an MX 5200 and MX 5800 of $1200, so the larger unit is definitely worth the difference "But nobody came close to Alabama pricing", no kidding and its only 12 miles away from us

    Fix L3650 or buy new L2501

    We started with an L2501 but it was slow mowing with the brush hog. You might look at the L 3901, not much more cost and much more power for heavy brush.

    MX Hydraulics cost

    What's the usual cost for the dealer to put rear hydraulics on an MX new? They want $2200 for top and tilt, about half of that for just the hydraulic top link, which would be more useful to us that a tilt. Tried the suggestion on here to "just have them throw them in the deal" but no way. They...

    MX 5800 trailering short distance with Tundra

    We are leaning towards doing it. The road between the properties is not heavily used and 40 mph speed limit, so going really slow is no problem. And neighbor suggested take the tractor and the attachments in 2 trips- Right now we are on hold until we get a survey of the new property, a slow...

    MX5800 Pricing; tested one today and liked it

    We tested an MX5800 at the Alabama dealer today and really liked it. I get what people were saying about going to the heavier frame from the L3901. It is surprisingly maneuverable even being a good bit larger than the L3901. Right at 6,700 pounds For some reason sales guy was pushing us to an...

    We have been trailering our L3901 from Georgia to Alabama and back regularly. We are looking at buying a second farm that is a 7 mile distance from the Alabama one and would like to buy an MX 5800 (loader, loaded tires and a heavy duty Woods brush hog) to dedicate to the Alabama properties...

    Sunshade Canopy

    The one you got from Messicks looks great. Canopy makes the tractor much more comfortable to use. we went with the factory one, it was less than $100 more than the aftermarket ones for an L. Needed fiberglass because we always bashing something with it and repairing it with the gel kit
