Back to the original topic: I tow a lot (mostly Kubota equipment) and I owned a 2017 F-350 (dually) diesel pickup. It looks like the truck from the picture is also a dually. The gooseneck towing capacity of my truck was 31,400lbs with a payload of over 5,000lbs. Certainly a very capable truck...

I've purchased Bro-Tek spacers for my B2920, L2501, L4060, and MX6000. All 2", except the L2501 I went with 3" spacers. The Bro-Teks have always had the studs already preinstalled. Very simple installation, and the aluminum will never rust. Obviously a tractor like an L4060 or MX6000 has really...

If you search for "Kubota [enter model here] Bid Specifications" you can typically find far more detailed specs published from Kubota. The dealer can also print these out for you, they are several pages long. One spec they include is "gallons per hour at PTO speed." I was considering an M6060 vs...

Thanks! I'm liking it so far.

I've very steep slope work for a municipality for 7 years now, dams, reservoirs, and heavily sloped capped landfills. I've run nothing but Kubotas - A B series, three different L series, and two MX series. You can't really go larger than an MX due to size and weight constraints based upon the...

I mow a few dams. Here's one to give some perspective about a very steep dam with not much room for error. Back up with a flail mower raised; mow down. No loader attached as its too steep to back up with the added weight on the front. In this shot I'm doing it with an MX4800 but I have done it...

So I mowed a customer's field last night with the MX6000. This was a pretty good comparison of the benefits of the horsepower (or not) as last year I mowed the same field, around the same time with the L4060 HSTC. I'd say if anything the grass was higher this year. I used the same 78" flail...

Wheels are set out to max width plus 2" Bro-Tek spacers on both sides. This is kind of a bad picture but it shows just how wide the rear track is.

So I was able to take delivery on the MX6000 last Friday. I also used it quite extensively Friday evening (about 5 hours), just loader work. It takes some getting used to not having the linked HST pedal to the throttle, and on top of that the throttle lever in not on the armrest in the MX like...

Gas in the fuel tank won't affect the hydraulic side. It will ruin a modern electronically controlled common rail diesel like the MX5200 in a hurry. One thing I've noted is that Kubota has recently changed the water separator design on all the MX series tractors, and perhaps all the tractors...

I've noticed on my Z421 mower that the control levers are sometimes reluctant to go back into the neutral "slot" position. Is there some adjustment or lubrication that can be done on these?

I always thought the point of LED lights was "same output, more pleasing color, much less power draw." Alternately, if you opted for the same power draw as stock, you could get more light. I just bought an MX6000 cab tractor, and I'd really like to replace every light with LED. Unfortunately...

Beat me to. I stopped at the dealer to drop off my Bro-Tek rear spacers. Should be able to take delivery by the end of the week I hope.

I ran R1's on my previous MX4800 and for the most part they were easy on the ground as well. Tight turns in 4x4...yeah, they would dig a bit more.

That price for shipping is shockingly low. I figured $2500-$3k. I didn't know you wanted R14's. Those are in high demand - I'm not totally convinced they are the be-all-end-all of tires, but who knows. I like R4's because they tend to wear well and they have a wide tread patch compared to the...

Seems like the shipping cost of 900 miles would exceed the cost of a different tire package with fuel prices these days, but maybe I'm wrong. Putting up another building would be costly of course. The M4 is quite a nice machine - I came close to going with an M6060 cab since the price was...

They don’t include the latch to keep the price down, and because the competition doesn’t include a latch either.

I agree. The dealer is doing this to my MX6000 as we speak - I could certain do it myself, but its a brand new machine so they are doing it as part of the prep. I've also wondered about retrofitting the right-side step like the Grand L 60 machines have. However, they don't have the valve in the...

Thanks for the update. That stinks about the implement not arriving in a timely manner. The treadle pedal is a Kubota hallmark, some love it some hate it. I came from a Simplicity Legacy XL prior to my first Kubota (about the size of a Kubota BX) and it had the twin pedals like a John Deere. I...

MX6000 HSTC but I believe the headlights are identical on the old MX 4800-5200-5800 series as well. Obviously the cab work lights are exclusive to the MX5400-6000 but even those are just carryover from the Grand L 60 series
