    What nobody mentions about a BX

    Rodger, that Vette sounds very good. Must be an automatic though, with the remote start. (Can't say I blame you, the autos are now faster than the manuals). My 2020 Mustang has direct and port fuel injection, as well as active exhaust. It has four outlets, two are open all the time, and two are...

    What nobody mentions about a BX

    I like the smell of a non-DPF equipped diesel. Not for hours on end, but I like to catch some whiffs of it. Loved my L2501 when I had it. Engine started very well and had a nice diesel smell. My current machine filters it out. I still have a 2005 F-350 diesel. The only emissions controls it has...

    MX5400 or MX6000?

    You'll eventually get used to any pedal arrangement. I will say the pedal on the Grand L series is nicer than on the MX.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    The flail mowers are just not quite as rugged as the rotary mowers but otherwise better in every way, in my opinion

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    One thing I've noticed on these tractors is that when the machine is brand new, the coolant bottle is at the full / max line. After using it for awhile, it drops low. The dealer told me these tractors are not shipped with coolant from Japan and they add the coolant, and that air bubbles...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Thanks for sharing your experience with the MX. In my experience with all these Kubotas, by the time the coolant temp gauge is at the "3/4" position (still well in the normal range, but heading towards hot), in very short order the machine will overheat and may already be pushing coolant out of...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    The trimmer head is difficult to load (requires two equal lengths of string cut instead of just one folded like Husky and others). It also doesn’t hold very much string. I have a side landscaping business and go through a couple thousand feet of string a season, so reload speed and capacity is...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    The Stihl trimmer heads are horrible. I have two KM131R units with most attachments. I refuse the use the trimmer. Husqvarna has the best trimmer heads.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    @mxmci I’m amazed the AC wasn’t totally warm with that buildup. I guess it’s how clean the condenser cores are behind the cheesy screen. I recently picked up the Milwaukee m18 blower…not impressed but will probably work for this purpose.

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    Thanks, that’s good info. I will insulate mine.

    MX5100 HST 4 Wheel Drive Linkage

    Also, turning the steering wheel all the way to the right or left while stopped will allow you to make the shift back into 2WD easily. It is annoying how these tractors will drop into 4x4 easily, but be so difficult to smoothly get back into 2wd. I guess you can have peace of mind knowing they...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    I'll borrow your M6060 while you're out on the MX6000...lol. I just finished my main round of summer mowing. I'm not sure a leaf blower is adequate if the radiator cores get really blocked up. If the grass is tall and has tassels hitting the grille area, you can plan on needing to do a clean...

    MX condenser screen is worthless

    @Hunter1157 that's great. I will probably do the same when I get a chance. I really think trying to increase the insulation on the floor or under-floor area of the cab would greatly help as well. There's a lot of radiant heat coming up through, and this would likely have a greater impact on...

    Stationary PTO switch doesn’t work MX6000

    Thanks. Guess I didn’t read the manual close enough

    Stationary PTO switch doesn’t work MX6000

    The whole point of the button was to avoid flipping the seat forward, I thought

    Stationary PTO switch doesn’t work MX6000

    Unless I’m doing something wrong. I know the switch is connected to something because when the tractor starts and the gauges do their little sweep and all the warning lights turn on for a second…that stationary pto switch lights up then goes out. But no matter what I do, I can’t make it light up...

    Trailer Recommendation

    I suggested he get a Big Tex 20-foot deckover. That trailer has a longer tongue which does allow setting a bucket or grapple on it with room to swing reasonably, and is 2' longer than the trailer you are showing. Here's my 2018 Raptor towing an L4310 with the loader attached and a 6.5' flail...

    Trailer Recommendation

    The problem I see is that most posters seem to believe the OP is ignorant on how to tow. Actually, he seems to know more than most. He knows the rated towing capacity of his truck, he knows it has a TBC (which many half tons do not have), and he knows the approximate weight of his tractor and...

    Trailer Recommendation

    Holy cow, some of you guys are going way overboard. The OP wanted a recommended trailer "length" not opinions on how bad his truck sucks or why he really should be towing a tandem-duals 40-foot tilt gooseneck with a Perterbilt just to handle his L3010. I believe if he can find a good trailer...

    Upgrading MX lights to LED

    Its worth noting the amperage draw of add-ons like a light bar. As it is now, the MX owners manual states that if you have the CCV heater and idle your tractor for a significant period of time, the tractor may stop running due to a discharged battery. In other words, the alternator can't keep up...
