It is really going to depend on your specific wants/needs/property. When we initially acquired our property, I used rotary cutters (4' cheapo, 8' Land-Pride 3-pt, 6' JD Flail, 15' batwing towing) but as our practices changed, I ended up using a Kubota ZD1511. The 15' batwing was the quickest...

I have to disagree with ultrarunner on the weight. I did not weight my tires before and after foam filling, but I was able to lift my BX25 rear tires in and out of the pick-up bed before having them foam filled. After being foam filled thinking I would do the same was a wasted thought. It may...

I am with ultrarunner. There are numerous Black Locust and Bradford Pear thorns on our place and foam filling made life much simpler - no more flat tire delays!

OP: I have the MX5400 and wanted a plug-in heater, I have the heaters on all my other Kubota vehicles (M7040-RTV-BX25). The dealer would not install the heater. I had planned to self-install the heater at home, but discussed with a technician he told me it WILL mess-up (confuse) the onboard...

I was only traveling 8 miles each way, but be aware you're going to wear out your steering tires much faster than you might expect.

Terrible news. An acquittance I went to high school with was starting a tractor by jumping/arcing across the starter. Tractor started and rolled over them. Worse was a grandkid was in the tractor seat.

You don't. Use a type of mesh material around the soap bar and when it has completely, or nearly completely, dissolved/melted put another bar of soap in the mesh.

We drove in some T-posts, strung string between the posts and hung bars of Irish Spring soap between the T-posts. stopped the deer from nibbling off our sweet patato greens.

If you are considering using tweels, be aware they do not hold up well with heavy load. I mow (Kubota ZD1511) pasture paddocks behind the cows and looked into tweels to smooth the ride. My mower is too heavy and will cause the tweel to split/blowout.

I misinterpreted your comment.

Okay, please educate me. Per the implement dealer I purchased this equipment from, I connect my 15 ft batwing rotary mower's yoke directly to the drawbar on my M7040 by dropping a pin through the holes in each component. Help me to understand my error.

Working on acquiring a new MX5400 and need to upgrade the seating beyond just adding air suspension to the existing seat. Due to age and back issues the standard seating (BX25 and M7040) leaves me hobbling into the next day after being in them for a couple of hours. Looked at installing the...

Tractor will not crank, nor turn over. I have replaced the batteries and battery cables. The batteries are two 6v connected to supply 12 volts to the starter with 1045 CCA. All connections have been cleaned and checked using a voltmeter, 12.337v at the starter solenoid. I can start the...

Anyone found a cap or cover that fits over the roller shaft end to keep this from occurring? Thank you.

New to site, so bear with me. I have been looking at acquiring a chipper and reading numerous threads here about various PTO driven units. My tractors (Kubota) have a PTO safety switch which kills the tractor when the operator leaves the seat, and if there is a bypass / over ride I am missing...
