    New Tractor for buyer new to tractors

    I got a MX5400 that was gear drive and last year's model (same as this year's) for about $8k less than the closest dealer (check around) and the same price as the L4802. I love it. I don't mind the gears. It's a great machine.

    Thinking about a flail mower but wonder if it is worth it for my application

    good to hear that not all of their items are made in China. I know the Frontier-branded ones are, which was disappointing.

    New Tractor for buyer new to tractors

    I was looking at an L (L4802), but the price difference between the MX5400 and the L4802 was negligible after adding a 3rd function and two rear remotes. I really like how the MX has the bigger front tires and axle. Take a look at the MX. I would also recommend a flail mower instead of a bush...

    Maschios are made in China (they have their own factory there). Peruzzo's are very nice. 3-Pt PTO Ditch Bank Flail Mowers, For 20HP-200HP Tractors!

    Bolts snapped on my Novatractor BCRM175 Ditch Bank Flail Mower on Day 2

    It fits well on mine, but the MX5400 is cat 2. They supplied reducer bushings for cat 2 to cat 1.

    Bolts snapped on my Novatractor BCRM175 Ditch Bank Flail Mower on Day 2

    The company did send me an email that they are sending 4 bolts to replace all of these type. I think this would be an opportunity to redesign this feature. The mower did a great job and left the pasture looking really good - like better than my yard. Those horses are living the dream.

    Bolts snapped on my Novatractor BCRM175 Ditch Bank Flail Mower on Day 2

    Yes, I think so, unfortunately. I couldn't find any close replacements anywhere. They had to ship replacements from the factory in China. This is the first major flaw I've found on the mower. They should have designed the arm with standard bolts.

    Bolts snapped on my Novatractor BCRM175 Ditch Bank Flail Mower on Day 2

    I received the BCRM175 a few days ago, it took me the better part of a day to put it together because the directions are not very good. The directions need better step-by-step instructions and explanations. Between looking at videos and their online pics, I was able to get it together. I...

    Attaching bucket hooks to a Kubota MX5400 with L2236 bucket

    Ugh, wish I would have done that!

    Attaching bucket hooks to a Kubota MX5400 with L2236 bucket

    I'm not sure how/where to attach these. It is a curved back bucket but has a plate mounted on top between the loader connections. How are others with this bucket adding bucket hooks like Ken's bolt ons?

    Kioti deal or no deal price?

    Yep, I was ready to buy a tractor and all the implements from them. They didn't negotiate and luckily, I learned that I could drive north to KY the same distance to LSE and get a much better deal on Kubota or JD. If you are in the Nashville area, do yourself a favor and get prices for Agri...
