Update: Tractor has been repaired and will be delivered today. KTAC insurance is the real deal! The entire process was as simple as one phone call and then they immediately jumped into action. They paid for the tow there and they are covering the tow back home. Total charges were over $2300...

I bought a slightly "refurbished" John Deere 350 7' Sickle bar mower last year off of eBay to cut around my ponds, and I'd have to say, it has done exactly what I bought it to do. There was a little bit of a learning curve in setting and hooking it up, but after that, as long as I go slow, it...

That's awesome lugbolt, thanks for the info!

Thanks everyone, I really appreciate your concerns and helpfulness! It does appear that I am going to be covered, however, KTAC was closed today so I won't be able to file an official claim until Monday. After talking to my dealer, however, we decided to go ahead and remove the tractor from the...

Had a really close call yesterday. Tractor rolled over on me when cutting a ditch. I'm ok, just really sore. It was late so I haven't had a chance to talk to anyone yet but when I bought my tractor, they told me the Kubota insurance would cover just about anything. They specifically said " even...

Thanks! That's what I was hoping..

One last thing...Do you think I did any damage by driving it around with only oil in the wheel housings and barely any in the axle? I probably drove it it slowly approx. 1/4 mile total.

I feel like such an idiot! You are exactly right in your diagnosis. I was only draining and adding at the wheel housing, which is LOWER than the axle housing so naturally as soon as I added enough to fill both wheel housings it started to over flow. Sure enough, there was a fill plug on top of...

Please help me figure out this mystery. I have a MX5200 with just over 200 hours. During the recent flooding here, I was forced to operate it for a couple of hours in water that was over the front axle but below the exhaust pipe. Knowing that there is a vent on top of the axle, I planned to...

I just reached 200 hours on my MX5200 and found the exact same thing when I changed filters. I think it is normal and probably why there is such a big magnet on the filter.

Good point! Thanks again everyone! I'll update later in the week when my time traveling tiller arrives! Lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I went ahead and bought a 14" I single bottom plow from TSC and boy this thing is amazing. I have a very heavy clay based soil and so when the plow is buried good it really takes all 52 hp to pull! In fact, I have to throttle down to about 2100 so that it will bog down instead of break the shear...

Ha, Thanks Shaun, but I also have another 10 acres attached to it that I cut almost weekly so the tractor gets a pretty good workout just cutting grass! I absolutely love it though and it hasn't missed a lick yet! (Of course, I only have 110 or so hours on it now but I add to that every chance I...

Thanks everyone for the wonderful and informative replies! I am sorry that I am just now responding, but right after I posted my question I had a really bad flare up of diverticulitis and I have been in bed for the last 6 days! Up and about today so things are finally on the mend! Now, back to...

Hello Everyone, It has been awhile since I posted but my 5200MX now has 110 hours on it and things are going great! So far, all I have done is bush hogging and a little box blade work but this is what I need advice on...I have a 6 acre plot that I eventually plan to build on. It is cut regularly...

Thanks everyone for all of the good advice. It turned out to be a pretty simple job after all. I uncoupled the shaft from the tractor, pulled the two halves apart, greased them, and as several of you mentioned, the shaft was made in such a way that it could only go back on the correct way, and...

Thanks Skeets! I think I was over analyzing again. Lol So, as long as I put it back with the u joints in the same orientation, I'm fine correct? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a new Woods BB72x rotary cutter and one of the recommended maintenance procedures is to grease the slip joint in the telescoping pto shaft. The manual says to pull the two apart until just before they separate and then pack grease in the joint while repeatedly sliding shaft in and out to...

My thoughts exactly! I'm currently running a 6' Woods so the 12 would double my production, albeit, at a hefty premium! That's what I just can't figure out yet is would it be worth it. The mx5200 has 44 pto hp so it meets the requirements for the 12 footer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
