My JD X580 mower deck won't engage when I pull the yellow knob lever. Not sure if it's a coincidence or not but when it stopped working I looked underneath & saw that one of the deck leveling bolts (left side when sitting on the mower) had broken so I replaced that along w/ the concave washer &...

Thanks all. Didn't hook any brakes but she pulled the trailer just fine. Wasn't sure about the hill on my gravel driveway but it wasn't a problem. Did an empty test run 1st, then loaded a 1,000 lb log on her to make sure & all was good!

Thanks guys, tractor is almost always in 4wd here in the mountains. The 1,825 lbs. is the trailers empty weight. Trailer has brakes but my MX doesn't have a 7 pin connector. Wanted to do a hay ride w/ the kiddos but will do a few dry runs 1st & see how it does. Do drawbars bend that easy? Seems...

I've got a Kubota MX5800 & also have a tandem axle 7k landscape / utility trailer that weighs 1,825 lbs. Can my MX safely pull this trailer up / down a gravel driveway w/ semi-steep hill? Worried about power to pull it up & braking going down...

I've been thinking of making a rear ballast box for my MX5800. I'd like something relatively small / maneuverable but not too small. I was thinking a 55 gal. drum filled w/ concrete. I could stick a few 2" & 4" PVC pipes in there to hold misc. shovels, rakes, etc. & a chainsaw scabbard for a...

One other thing I forgot... Spring #25 in the schematics... where does the other side hook on to? It's not shown in the diagram, only the 1 side.

Thanks all!

The ((P)) & a gear w/ a box around it (right above the P) lights on the instrument cluster are flashing also.

Thanks! Sorry forgot to mention it's a 54" Accel deck. No bagger on it so I don't think it has the Powerflow belt. Didn't know the click was normal, prob. have never heard it b/c the mower deck always engaged until now. Great schematics beenthere, thanks! The belt I replaced was M169485 but...

Thanks all. How do I tell if it's the PTO clutch that's clicking other than just listening? It was the belt from the pulley under the engine to the pulley just above the rear of the mower deck. It wouldn't drive after it broke & when I replaced it, it drives fine so I figured it was the drive belt.

My MX5800 loan is almost paid off & I got a letter from Kubota offering the KTAC insurance for an additional year for $719. Seems kinda high doesn't it? Any other 3rd party companies to get insurance through that are good? From what I understand, the KTAC insurance covers just about anything...

Had my X580 drive belt snap on me Friday while I was mowing so I bought a new one & installed today. Went to engage the mower & it clicks from down below (maybe a solenoid?) & nothing else happens. Heck of a coincidence. Could I have put the drive belt on wrong (it ran fine when I drove it...

I've noticed that when I have a heavy load in my MX5800 grapple & I'm reversing uphill in 4wd that my front tires don't spin & lightly click like somethings not engaging. Is this a safety override so I don't blow the front axle or something since there's so much weight on it or is something...

Thanks guys! Ordered a set of 48" from EA. I've never been a price shopper since I have no problem paying for quality :)

Thanks all!
