Hello all. It's been a while since I have been on the forum. I have been in the process of selling my hobby farm and moving to AZ. I have a party that is interested in buying the farm and wants to know what I want for my tractor and equipment. What I have: Kubota MX5000 with LA852-2 loader and...

I have a 2006 Kubota MX5000 with 225 hours on it. It has the mechanical shuttle shift 8FW/4R. It also has one rear remote added by Kubota dealer. The tractor has an LA852 loader and a ballest box. I have checked around and found several listed for around $20K that are close to this. The tractor...

I am selling off my equipment and have had a few people ask me if they can connect to a Quick Hitch. since i don't use a QH I have no idea. The equipment is a 6' SBX 720 Bush Hog box blade and a 7' Leinbach Root Rake. Anyone use a QH with this stuff?

I am selling my rotary cutter and have not been able to find out how much I should be asking for a used one. I did find a new 2009 model that the dealer said he would sell for around $1600. If anyone knows the going rate I would appreciate the help. BTW: the Woods HC72 is the standard duty 6'...

advertized my tiller for sale in the local craigs list. You would not believe the number of people that are all to busy with important obligations to even come see it but are willing to send me a bank note, chaiers check etc. "Thank for your mail. I'm satisfied with the condition of it as...

This is kind of a hard post to write. My wife has finally admitted to me that the horses scare her to the extent that she doesn't want to ride. I love horses and I love my tractor/equipment but it's a big investment as you all know. Adding fuel to the fire I have been offered a job in...

I was snow blowing this morning and my buhler/Farmking 740 started to make a noise. Sounded like something was getting banged around in the auger. I couldn't find and thing like a rock/ice. started to check for loose bolts and such and touched the main fan bolt and it came out in my hand! I...

I used my blower for the first time this year and broke my first shear pin/bolt. The manual calls for a 5/16" shear bolt. The hole on my 740 only takes a 1/4" bolt max. Funny thing is the unit came with a couple of spare 5/16" shear bolts. :confused: I was able to run the blower fine with a 1/4"...

I'm not sure this is the proper forum for this question but.... I have a block heater that I'm going to put in/on my Kubota MX5000. the instrustion say that the best place to put it requires the hydraulic pump to be removed. Just curious why it can not be installed on the other side of the...

I am considering buying a trailer that I can use to haul my tractor/loader around on or haul some large square bales of hay 3 x 3 x 8' ~ 800 lbs. the tractor is a Kubota MX5000 4wd and weighs around 3700 lbs without the loader LA852. I am guessi9ng that the tractor loader weighs around 5000 lbs...

I have a old quonset metal storage shed that the roof has started to rust on. Is their a product made that you can paint over the rust and seal it up? I did a search and found one mention of some sort of aluminized roof sealant. Is this made for painting over the rust?

I know i have seen threads about loading tractor tires with rim gaurd, or whatever. I searched but didn't find anything. Is it possible to do this your self? I don't have a trailer to take it to the shop for them to do it and I NEED more weight. So with out spending a couple of hundred for them...

I have been trying to get by using the FEL to move the big snow but its just getting out of control. I have about 200 - 300 yards to clear so I can get hay to my horses. The snow here in SE MN is DEEP. With the drifts and all the snow is 4 - 5' in places. I was out this morning moving the drift...

The other day I got my Polaris Sportsman ATV really stuck in the deep crusty snow that we have. I had my tractor out so I just picked it up with the FEL and tiedown straps. everything was fine until I sat it back down. I lowered the FEL to far and it hit the brake reservoir and snaped it off...

I know this question is out of season but I was curious if any of you horse owners use a landscape rake to bust up the piles in the summer?

I have been considering getting a snowblower and found a Erskine brand 3pt that is pulled forward to use. Anyone have experience/opinions on this brand/model?

I wanted to get the opinions of some of you who own/use backhoes a lot about some work I need to do. I need to trench in a water line to a new horse pasture I am putting in. The trench will be 4' deep and about 50 feet long. I also want to dig a trench to run electricity to the new pasture for...

I am trying to put in a new fence and I run into bed rock about two feet down. Normally I have been able to take a 25 lb. iron bar and beat my way through it. I have spent several hours chipping away at it and there seems to be no end to it. I have tried to move the hole all around the area to...

I have a Woods Heritage model HSS 72 cutter and I want to change the blades. I have the blades but don't have a socket big enough to fit the blade pin nut. My owners manual parts list does not list the size of the nut. Would any of you know what size socket to get? Its in a hard to measure place...

Does anyone have experience using a 18" or larger auger on a SpeeCo PHD? I can not find my mannual for it but thought I remembered that you could go up to 24" with it?

Does anyone have experience using a 18" or larger auger on a SpeeCo PHD? I can not find my mannual for it but thought I remembered that you could go up to 24" with it? OK, I just found the manual for it online. I have the model 65 and it lists options of 6", 9" and 12". I need to sink a bunch...

I am going to be building a a new shelter for my horses in the new pasture. I need to build up one end of the site to make it level. Do I need to remove the top soil before I put the fill (sand/clay) down?

I have been dropping trees for a long time and never seen this happen before. I had a large elm tree that died I would estimate to be 40' tall. It appeared to be pretty much straight up and down. I notched it on the side I wanted it to fall to then went to the other side to make the finish cut...

Ever tried to change the oil on the front axel of an MX5000? Better have a couple of days to let the tractor sit. The axel holds 8 quarts of UDT fluid. There are drain plugs on each of the front hubs. The problem is that the oil that is above the hubs has to pass through the bearings to get out...

I am constantly amazed with the things I am able to do with a grapple. the guy that baled my hay told me I had a rock problem that had to be taken care of so he did not ruin his equipment. This rock stuck out of the groung just enough to be a problem. I didn't think I would be able to pull this...

I got my hay baled yesterday and used my WRLong OBG2 grapple to handle the 800 lb. bales. This worked really slick. I opened the grapple all the way and then lowered it straight down on the bale. Close the clamp and roll it up and lift. To be honest I was not sure my MX5000 could handle these...

Is there anyone that has experience with a pole barn kit from Menards? I would like to hear how it went for you. Did you do it yourself or have it built? Thanks, Matt

I have a couple of horses which seems very content to only eat the grass from one spot in a big pasture. I want to split the pasture that is about 10 acres and plant alfalfa on one half then split the remaining half to make two seperate 2 - 3 acre pastures so I can control where they eat a...

I have a lot of new construction to clean up and landscape. I built a new house on my farm and buried the old one on site. will be building a new barn too so I have lots of use for a good stout rake. Of course I want to get one the is tough as **** and does not cost a lot. I have been using a...

I picked up my WR Long OBG2 56" grapple today. I spent a couple of hours taking the bucket off and putting the grapple on and routing the new hoses. I have to say that it fit like a glove. No messing around with anything other than getting the pins lined up. I will get smarter about this and...

I have a Kubota MX5000. I had a rear hydraulic control instaled so i can use a grapple. I pluged in the hoses to test out the grapple but I had put them in bass-ack-wards. Now I can not get them out! Whats the secret? I have tried letting off any preasure by turning off the tractor and moving...

What backhoe's are there for a Kubota MX5000? Anyone with a MX5000 have a backhoe? Looking for price and opinions on the products. I would like to use the hoe for removing countless stumps and trenching water/electric to new barn project. Thanks

Is there anyone on here that has one of these Open Bottom Grapple "OBG-2" grapples? Pros/Cons?

After waiting weeks to get the LD60 that I ordered it finally gets here and can not be used! :mad: It's not even close to fitting my kubota loader. It remains to be seen how Millonzi will take care of this problem.

I will be starting to build a 40 x 60 horse barn with a leanto on one side. Do I run the water and electrical to where I need it in the barn or do I construct the pad/barn first? I have never done this before and not sure if I should even attempt it. Any experienced hands here that might have an...

I changed my hydraulic oil last weekend on my MX5000. It has the mechanical shuttle tranny. The dealer said wait until 100 hours but I couldn't stand it when I hit 65 hours I had to change it. When I drained all 46.5 quarts from the 5 different drains it looked like it was new. $189.00 for oil...

Well happy to say that we finally had a few nice days and I got my field preped and ready to plant. The guys on here that said that tilling more than 4 -5 acres would be a long haul were not kidding! My Befco T50-266 really did a great job. I think it took around 5 + hours of tilling to do the...

As some of you know from other threads I have been trying to order a grapple form Millonzi International. I had a problem getting the measurements they needed to build the adaptors to fit my loader. John Millonzi put me in touch with one of their engineers and we finally got things specked out...

Back ground: I bought a 30 acre parcel that was part of an old dairy farm. The house was in bad shape but weather tight. It's foundation was all but gone and the house leaned a little. I bought it with the idea that I would tear down the old house and rebuild within 2 years. Here it is 6 years...

Mowing down a field that had grown wild for 5 years. I can walk through stuff like in the picture in 4th/low without a problem. Going over the top of a huge gopher mound will make it work though.

I have a 2006 Kubota MX5000 with LA852 FEL. I want to add another hydraulic control so I can operate a grapple. The dealer quated me a price os $1700+ installed. I thought this was supposed to be around an $800 job. Has anyone with an MX5000 added a 3rd control out there?

I have a Stihl 028 Super Wood Boss that I bought new in 1990 (I think) and it has been a real good saw. Even better than the saw is the dealer. Several times I have brought it in after sitting around to long and they take it in the back and come back out and hand me the saw and say no charge...

I have a T50 266 tiller that I picked up not long ago and it works great. In the owners manual under lubrication it says be sure to grease the driveline and driveline cross. What in the world is the drive line cross? Odd but there are no drawings/diagrams that point this out. The drive line I...
