I recently had a request for a set of stabilizers for an MX5100, but I didn't have large enough material, and hadn't worked on such a large set. I have since gotten some 2 1/2"x1 1/2" rectangular tubing and 7/8" x 2" flat bar. I have a friend with a John Deere 5300, which has turnbuckles. So, I made a set today for his tractor, as a guinea pig. I think they will hold- they are much more substantial than the factory turnbuckles, which have held up fine.
In the photos are a medium size stabilizer, which would work on a tractor up to about 30 hp, the unpainted extra large stabilizer for the JD, and one of my factory turnbuckles off of my B7100, for size comparison.

do you make and sell the small stabilizers, I would like to get a set fr my b7510 a little later
I have a B7500 and got a set from Mark and these where one of the best accessory that I bought and Mark does very good work. I have the medium set and they work perfect.

Wow, Skeets, that's farther than I wanted my imagination to go...
They weighed about 12 pounds a piece. It's the 7/8" x 2" cold rolled flat that makes them a chunk.
Thanks for the plug, G-man.
I just mailed a set off today to Napa, CA, for a B2150. It always amazes me how many different models that Kubota has made over the years.
