I didn’t find what I was looking for so decided to fabricate mine. 2 - 55 gallon plastic drums on an angle iron 3 point frame, plumbing fittings to tie together and feeding a 6 roller PTO pump. I can shoot water about 60 feet. Makes a pretty good fire control unit. I do have an almost unlimited...

I was in the same situation about 2 years ago, not the Kubota vs MF deal. I***8217;m on 16 acres, mostly old field and some woods, I have 2 old Farmalls but neither with a bucket. I wanted a diesel to bushog, maintain a gravel driveway and move 48 yards of dirt for a home shooting range. I...

Even simpler, just place a spare battery on the trailer under the hay with a simple 2 wires running to the trailer plug. Your not needing brake lights or turn signals. Any small 12 volt power source will provide multiple hours of illumination, especially with LED trailer lights.

Converted into a ***8220;tactical tractor***8221;. I guess the orange would be hard to hide. Not sure how to rotate the photo

2***8221; trailer ball for now. Been moving the boat out of the shop when working on bigger projects. Usually a clevis modified to fit the bar.

We do have more than our share of bugs, I guess mosquitoes are our snow. We got about 4 inches of snow 2 weeks ago and it basically shut everything down.

Move to south Louisiana, we only see snow for 2 days every 8 years or so.

I have all the cutting tools listed except for the plasma (possibly next). Not sure what thickness material your using, but I’ve had good luck with a Milwaukee metal cutting circular saw. The blades are kinda pricy, but the cutting results are worth it. I have cut 5 X 5 x 3/8 angle with it...

A little north, Ponchatoula. What plant you retired out of?

We don't get months of snow and freezing either! 8up, where you located down here?

Here's how we do that in the South 8 posts, 60 cross ties, 30 yards of dirt

On my MX5200 with manual transmission, I put a clean 5 gallon bucket under the filter. When the filter is loosened, fluid starts to drain into the bucket. Finish removing the old filter and install the new filter, you might have 1 gallon of oil in the bucket. I drain the old filter into the...

Great idea, I'm at about 95 hours and mine has some missing paint. Will probably let it slide for a bit before coating mine.

Yep, moving a couple inches would be great. I have the other recommended tools, I want the removed dirt away from the trench, not sitting on the edge blocking the drainage and ready to be washed back in the ditch. I'm not trying to drain a 100 acre field, just trying to keep some old drains on a...

Has anyone tried to build/monster garage one of the PTO drive ditch diggers? I have looked at a few of the factory built units, they are pricey but well made. I don't need anything commercial duty, I would be happy to be able to move 2-3 inches of dirt. You can always make a couple passes.

My MX5200 turned 75 hours this past weekend and had its 3rd regen. I do have a bunch of lower rpm time on mine due to what I'm doing with the loader.

Congrats on a nice machine. I have the same tractor only in the "gear" version. I haven't found much that mine won't do. Small enough to be handy and big enough for mid size jobs.

I put a clean bucket/pan under the filter, catch any oil that drains out while swapping filters. I reinstall any drained oil, running it through a paint filter in the funnel.

My local dealers parts guy download the WSM for my MX5200 onto a thumb drive for me. The printed manual is about $150. I printed it at my office and put it in a 3 ring binder, I like a print copy when working on stuff in the shop.
