Some of the Bad Boy mowers look interesting, but I have never seen anyone mowing commercially use one. Seems like the dealer network is "Tractor Supply" which doesn't work for most commercial outfits. I know there are some stand-alone dealers, but none around here.

That's not the same as what is happening to these Grand L 60 tractors.

True, but a Kawasaki lawn mower engine is the same whether on a Kubota, Exmark, Ferris, Scag, etc. Parts on an automobile may be made by a third party, but they are often made to a spec or variant determined by the automobile manufacturer. For example, AAM supplies axles to GM and RAM, but the...

The thing with the engine is that it isn't Kubota's fault, unless the unique right-biased mounting of the engine caused the problem. I have another mower that is 9 seasons old with the same engine and more than double the hours, runs like a champ. The deck spindle shouldn't have failed, but it...

Update on my Z421 54" mower. After writing a pretty flowery review before, the 2022 mowing season was not as kind to me. My mower is 3 seasons old and has 350+ hours on it. One junk rear tire (not the mowers fault), 2 of 4 motor mounting bolts fell out, a deck spindle bearing failed, and most...

The problem is almost certainly the crossover between the two tanks. Only one tank has a sending unit and if more fuel ends up on that side, it reads full until the engine finally starts burning that fuel off. As for the comment Tinman made about this being "analog" and the old 40-series being...

Bro-Tek spacers, made by small shop in Canada and good quality but there are others. Are your rear tires filled? Operating on slopes without the loader makes the tractor more stable. I am very experienced with slopes that most people probably wouldn’t be comfortable with. The cab doesn’t change...

Yes, good idea. The MX cab is similar to the Grand L cab but more heat (and noise) comes up through the floor and fender areas on the MX then the Grand L. I might do the Dynomat reflective myself. Another area is remove the plastic cab roof completely and do the inside, and also the plastic A/C...

I don't disagree with you. But just because the MX is smaller / lighter, doesn't make it a "homeowner" machine; it is built just as well as any other Kubota tractor. Obviously you wouldn't need to make an MX tractor with a 100HP engine given its size and weight, nor would you make an MX...

Keadog, the R1 tires offer the best grip but they are actually not as stiff a tire as the R4 and presumably the R14, nor are they as wide. I had an MX4800 (non turbo) open station with the R1 tires, and while it was 'stable enough' with the rear rims set out to their widest position, the R4...

That's great you haven't had a problem, but the evidence is that people are having problems. How many Ford, GM, or even RAM Bosch CP4.2 high pressure fuel pumps blew up and ruined the entire fuel system on diesel trucks? Tons, to the point that GM quit using that pump after 6 model years, RAM...

I ended up buying the generic top link from AgriStore, specifically the one MtnViewRanch said would be the closest. It arrived very quickly; I bought it with the hoses with the ball fittings and a couple of adapters. Spent probably one hour last night grinding down the tractor-side ball ends and...

Grand L 60 series Kubota tractors have the quietest HST probably offered anywhere. The standard L and smaller tractors have noisy HST whine. My MX6000 cab doesn't seem bad. The higher ranges will amplify it, because there is more hydraulic pressure needed to move the machine. Don't use high...

Thanks MtnViewRanch. They look very nice; I haven't decided what to do at this point.

Never heard of PA, but I see it is in Canada. Seems like for a little more money, the option MtnViewRanch mentioned is superior with a longer stroke and large rod diameter. My concern is simply whether the tractor-end of the ball would fit.

Poor planning on my part I guess. I see you're the guy that build these things custom that everybody recommends; I'm curious what would be different on yours to make it better? Would yours have a tractor-side ball end that fits my Kubota better? And maybe a longer stroke (I think I read yours...

This is what I found “off the shelf.” My concern is the link has massive travel, but cannot get short enough. https://www.agristoreusa.com/collections/category-1-hydraulic-top-links/products/category-1-2-hydraulic-top-link-25-9-16-39-15-16

Hi folks, looking to get a quality but inexpensive hydraulic top link for my MX6000 tractor. I don't care about tilt just the top link. Already have the remotes. I understand the MX is a Cat 1/2 hitch. Doing some quick research, it appears there are 2.5" cylinders and 3" cylinders, and most of...

Stumps around here are something like $5-8 per inch at the ground for grinding. I did a job early this spring for two 50' spruce trees with 24" stump bases. Rented the Home Depot grinder, it was an Italian machine with a big Briggs V-Twin maybe 30HP. It had hydraulic swing and raise-lower of the...

The L4060 is gone and a new MX6000 is in its place, since spring, with a cab. Now the process of upgrading the lights begins again. The MX cab uses the same four work lights as the Grand L 60 series. The headlights on the MX are weaker (35/35 instead of 55/60). I ended up adding a couple of...
