I could be wrong but I believe the MX series tractors use the PTO clutch pack for braking as well as engaging.

One thing you could check is hydraulic pressure. You would likely have to make a T connection, install it inline with the hydraulic line and attach a pressure gauge to it in order to check if the line has the appropriate pressure. Unless there is a test port somewhere? Just another thing to...

A backhoe is a great thing to have but it all depends on your usage. They are not just for digging.. If you have an hydraulic thumb they are amazing for lifting things into place or removing things!! It is very important to make sure you get one with a sub-frame if you do decide on one for your...

I have always done a fare bit of backdragging with my front end loader but never at full extension of the curl cylinders and almost always in float position of the lift cylinders. Be very careful if you are using the weight of the machine when backdragging to not overload the curl cylinders...

This is how I approached that question for myself. Of course it all depends on your situation and how often you will use the machines. I need a tractor but wanted a backhoe because they are sort of like a swiss army knife tool. I don't use the backhoe often enough to justify having another...

I am curious as to how much of the information presented on these screens is actually useful or just gimmickry? The thought of being stuck due to some useless sensor just irritates me..!! Never mind the cost associated with it!!

Sounds to me as though you have a different issue in the rear end as well. If the other axle was sheered like this one you would not be able to move at all without the differential lock being engaged all the time. We would need more information as to what would happen when driver inputs were...

Sorry, can't help with sourcing parts but you may only need to repair one side. Because of the differential if one wheel spins the other stays stationary unless you engage the differential lock. If it were me I would fix the obvious broken side and then see if everything works as it should...

How did you get the loader to work after it wouldn't? Have you checked the condition of the hydraulic fluid? Is it milky in color or dirty? When you drain a little fluid out at the drain plug, do you notice any water? Water is heavier than hydraulic fluid and will therefor be at the bottom of...

You might want to provide us with some photos and more info of the way it is now. Much easier to diagnose over the internet that way!!

How many hours on the machine? When was the last hydraulic fluid and filter change? Have you checked the linkage for proper operation? Does the fluid look foamy or milky?

One thing you might want to pay attention to is the maximum implement weight for a particular tractor model. I have an MX4700 and the manual states a lift capacity of 2,310 pounds at 24 inches beyond lift points. In the implement section it has a maximum implement weight of around 1,000 pounds...

If you do a search for aftermarket backhoes you will likely find some manufacturers that make backhoes for many different tractors. Woods and Woodmax are two that came up immediately. You would have to give them a call and see if they have or can make a sub-frame for your tractor. I hope this...

I believe you can get that information from the dealers and possibly also from TractorData.com. I do not believe there is a way to just plug in that info and get answers other than just google it. Personally I would not base the decision of my next tractor model on the size of the wheels so I...
