2015 Kubota M5-111 4x4 ROPS open station with 12 spd forward 12 spd reverse with hydraulic reverser. 2 rear remotes, 105hp $35,000.00 located in Berwick, Maine Hate to sell it but we dont need this monster since we are shutting down the greenhouses . LA-1854 Front End Loader FEL. & wide 84"...

The ferris 400, simplicity courier, snapper pro are all made by Briggs and Stratton and are almost identical in build quality when I checked them out. The snapper pro was the cheapest zt2800 equipped Kawasaki motor'd zero turn I could find. I went with a clearance model 61" Scag freedom z though

Same here

Anyone know anything about cartiner flails?

JM hayden in new Hampshire. I almost bought a bobcat crz from east coast lumber but it's the old body style. They are selling the crz now as the zt2000 in white but no one has them in stock. I got this liberty z 61" otd for 5k and 0% interest finance

I just got myself a Scag liberty z. Very well made unit for the money.

Here she is

Craigslist is pretty dead I typically find stuff on Facebook marketplace nowadays.

I ended up getting a good deal on a Scag liberty z 61" with Kohler 7000 26hp engine and the zt-3100 hydros

I felt that way myself believe me it's not easy to spend this kind of money for a mower. My Craftsman t3000 is made by Husqvarna it's literally the worst piece of junk and it's constantly breaking. The first year and every subsequent year it has to go back to the local small engine repair shop...

Gonna take a hard look at the snapper 360z 52" with zt2800 hydros

Looks like 4500 is the cost for the bottom of my specs. Zt2800 with fab decks

Any input?

thanks folks, i think ill keep on the lookout for an actual root rake/grapple for my needs

I'll probably get some custom hoses made up for the rear remotes to run to the front

Would a tine grapple be as useful as a root rake or rock grapple bucket? I found a used one locally for a good price it's a pretty heavy duty built unit I believe it weighs over 1000lbs I've got an m5-111 with la1854 loader

This one here has a replaceable ball "hook" end and it's 23.6" to 34.6" stroke https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydraulic-top-link-cat-2-2-catch-hooks-280-mm-stroke-locking-block-hoses-/392923104953?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

I found a unit made in turkey. Shipped from apeldoorn, NL Cat 2, 3" cylinder 1.38" rod 22.5"-33.5" Locking block and includes all hardware https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hydraulic-top-link-cat-2-2-with-locking-block-570-850-mm-with-2-x-hose-/392923101592?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286

What did you folks end up using for an m9540 hydraulic top link? I've got an m5-111 I want a hydraulic top link for looks like it's a cat 1 at the tractor pin and cat 2 at the implement. I'm guessing I will want to find a 3-in cylinder in the 24 to 36 movement range

Same here! I'm an engineer by day and we operate a small business at home that's very successful. On top of my wife managing that home business and keeping the house spotless, she also takes care of our kids (2 westies and a grumpy old cairn terrier we rescued) I don't even want to think about...

This simplicity zero turn cut my mow time in half from my craftsman t3000 pos lawn tractor. That doesn't include time I spend finicking with the plastic cvt transmission every time I use it

I ended up scoring this simplicity champion with 800 hours for 1300 bucks. got it home cleaned it up pulled off the "turbo" bagger system and ran it around the property and mowed roughly an acre of 1ft tall grass and weeds. it left some scragglers but i went back on a second pass and nailed it...

I think I'm going to go check out the simplicity mower thanks for all the help folks

Ya I'm thinking I'll go zero turn. The Kubota g1800 it's just too old now and parts I think are going to cost a fortune when it breaks

Heres a few more that popped up on FB:

im not sure i want to gamble on an electric mower.

I think I'm leaning towards the simplicity zero turn

I saw them in Lowe's or home Depot I can't remember honestly wasn't impressed didn't seem any better than the Craftsman or Husqvarna that was in there.

Looking at a couple high-end older used mowers. I'm on my second Craftsman t3000 which has been junk. Am I better off with one of these older far superior-made machines? The g1800 is 2500 bucks, the t1870 is 1800 and the Honda is 1,100. I also found a simplicity zero turn for $1800 that looks...

Brand New?

Does the blade you ordered have the wicked tines? I have an EA cat 1 cat 2 7-ft blade I just bought used and immediately broke a tine and bent almost 90° another time I'm in Maine so the same Rocky soil. I believe the new wicked times will not break so easily

you might invest in a new EA box blade with the wicked tines! ive watched the video of them tearing up asphalt with it. looks impressive and they are one piece, no more pressed on tips.

for 3500 bucks shipped for the 84" with hammers i think that woodmaxx would really be the best way to go for my needs and shredding up to 2.5" diameter saplings. i wont really be using it for grass cutting, just trail cutting and maintenance with my M5-111

I found one a few hours away honestly it looks like new for 2K but now I'm thinking I really need a flail with heavy hammer knives for what I want to do

I'm not sure I want a 25A after looking at them the duckfoot blades look lightweight and not that good for heavy brush cutting like a heavy hammer blade would be. I think a WoodMaxx with hammer blades would be better for my needs

I think I might hold off on buying a used flail up here in New England everybody wants top dollar for basically what looks like junk. I'm even seeing Chinese imports like sundown units where people are asking more money than what the brand new unit cost delivered to your house. I think now I'm...

Ya Ive scratched that idea. Lol

Nope I scored it in NY of all places. Snatched it from a dealer as soon as I caught wind of it and basically bought it sight unseen. Glad I did. I scored a heck of a deal I think! I do have plans for the Eliot dealer to order and install my 3rd function. Sounds like It may take a while to get my...

Hoping to knock down the 2" and under stuff with.the fel then run it over with the flail lol. I've seen videos of some serious brush cutting power with these. Anything bigger I'll remove ahead of time

I think I need a hammer knife flail for what I'm needing. I'd prefer a flail at least 84" to match my front bucket width but it's not a sticking point. There's also a rough looking seppi smo 225 within a few hours drive for $2400 and I think maybe a Deere 25a looks like new for $2k a few hours...

Would you folks pay 3k for a nice Alamo SH96? Would this flail be useful for brush mowing and trail cutting in woods? Tractor is a Kubota m5-111

We see those every spring in Houston. Never noticed a year that had more or less than other years

Well I ended up with a 2000 hours Kubota M5-111 for $25k put new front tires on it. I'm replacing a wobbly steering wheel and had the dealer do the DEF recall on it. She's straight off the dairy farm and after a degreasing bath and a round of fluid changes she'll be beautiful again lol

I've got an m5-111 and honestly think a fixed arm skid steer loader backhoe like this might be quite useful to me. I've got the la1854 loader so it's fairly stout.

Now that's an interesting setup!

Does anyone make a sub frame mount backhoe for an m5?

I think it meant bogoarp Buy one get one at regular price 😆

I paid I think $4,000 for my 22 kW generac from Lowe's using a 20% coupon 3 years ago. Had an electrician charged me 1800 bucks to install it that included the cost of the disconnects and aluminum wire. I'm located in Southern Maine on the New Hampshire border everyone else was quoting me 9,000...

Took me a minute but I got it lol 😂

probably a long shot but are there any coupon codes going on right now?

Is it just me or does it look double jointed?

Does anyone have any idea what this is? What type of grapple it is?

Running them off the fel

Do you fellas know.of any low flow attachments? Especially snowblowers or augers

im thinking of adding a 3rd function for grapple or momentary functions like you describe. the motor driven hyd attachments i would run off the rear remotes. im guessing adding an additional hyd cooler would be beneficial?

Does anyone on the board operate skid steer snow blowers, flail mowers, augers or other hyd. Motor driven skid steer implements off their 90-110hp or similar sized tractors ? I think the rops version of my m5-111 is in the range of 15gpm. Should I be looking at adding a PTO hydraulic pump to...

Something like one of these Attached to one of these

my company doesnt match, there are better incentives that outweigh the tax break with other investments out there.

These are fabric pots. Not conducive of tipping. I'd need to shovel them out to empty their contents.

Has anyone ever seen anything like a post hole digger with a different attachment that can be used for tilling amendments into 200 gallon above ground pots?

more pics

I originally offered 2500.00 but now after seeing the up close pics and under carriage it looks pretty well corroded up.

While looking for a used flail mower for grass and brush cutting on my kubota m5 I found this: Model SPF84K960LI5R (84" WITH Y STYLE BLADES) What should I pay for this thing?

They will be giving her a bath. he just wanted to send me pics as soon as it was on the lot. i literally bought it while they were transporting it from the working farm where the guy traded it in. ha!

ill probably looks for some rear remote extensions to run up to the FEL so i can run skid steer attachments up there. especially for a plow or snow blower in winter.

its the 12 speed hyd shuttle. gonna need to start looking for used box blade, heavy duty forks, flail mower, probably a skid steer attach hoist/hook for moving granite boulders, aww the chores around here are endless! ha shes fresh off the dairy farm in these pics and needs a bath and 2 new...

Yessir they are taking care of it before shipping.

just scored a 2015 M5-111 for 25k online with about 2100 hours. I've been on the hunt for a tractor of this size for the last few months and finally pulled the trigger on one I like. Last month I almost bought a 2650 HD Massey Ferguson but I thought on it a little too long. I'm glad I did...

Well I ended up scoring an M5-111 I sat on the fence too long for the massey but I was secretly holding out for a Kubota all along lol.

Did you ever chase this down and figure out what was causing the week 1854 loader curl?

Anyone running this kit on their tractors? I've scored a great deal on a 2100 hour 2015 m5-111 but the emissions stuff on these later motors scares the crap out of me!

bumping this up, has anyone deleted their DEF/DPF systems and had their units reprogrammed? something like the Reimer Tuning Kits?

My father (texas resident) did his testing up here in Maine. the low dose THC and CBD worked wonders although in the beginning when testing dosages he got pretty high. he stayed up here for a month dosing low THC:CBD and he quickly got to a point where he didnt need any sort of pain medication...

You can also ingest high levels of pure cannabis oil with THCa and experience significant medical ailment alleviation. Since it has not been decarboxylated (breaking the acetate bond) you won't feel any buzz or affect the endocannabinoid system

You want micro dosing of thc. Typically 4-5 mg in conjunction with other cannabinoids and terpenes keeps you from feeling buzzed but dulls the pain significantly. At least with my father it does. Pure cbd by itself is just snake oil. I've eaten grams (3000mg+) of it before in one sitting and...

I don't imagine massey does this mod on their own dime? Lol

I don't think you will notice anything from any sort of CBD distillate or CBD extracted concentrates. I operate medical caregiver operation. I have yet to hear of anyone actually have any sort of non placebo effect from CBD. It does work quite well with THC especially full spectrum where you get...

CBD distillate or isolate which is what all of these companies make their products from are purified forms of hemp extract. Honestly I think they're basically snake oil they do absolutely nothing by themselves. To really get any kind of arthritis symptom reduction you need to do what I did for...

I had gone down the rabbit hole of modulars here in Maine. I even found a similar floor plan and cad'd up a new one. It was roughly 4500-5000 sq ft with a 2 story entry and 9ft ceilings. I purposely went with high end windows and all the networking and home automation upgrades but cabinets...

ya ive definitely had that thought.ill probably just swing for whichever deal gets me the most tractor for my budget lol. if it has a cab, great, if not, still great, haha

That's the scam craigslist ad I linked to. It's clearly a scam after getting the response so I wasted a bunch of time chasing that 2670 cab model down there is still the 2650 ROPS version locally for sale for 25k even that is a lot of machine for my needs!

https://westky.craigslist.org/hvo/d/berea-2012-hd-series-2670-massey/7270865822.html

Ya what a waste of time lol. Still I have the 2650 rops version here locally I want to check out

Well that was a waste. It's a scam lol

should i be worried about this? lol

Its a 2012 years as well so it must not be production year thing where they went to the 5 disk setup. on the other hand i dont have any hilly or sloped property so that wouldnt be an issue for me. id probably not upgrade them if they are currently working fine. this is my original thread where...

heres more pics i got today

This is the rear end, can you tell what brakes it has?

correct its a private part sale. Tractordata shows a flow rate of 17 gpm hydraulic pump, i wonder it that would be enough to drive a FEL mounted skid steer snow blower. It sure would be handy to add a valve and separate hydraulics on the FEL to drive a SSQA snow blower maybe even rough cut flail...

ya the cab kinda scares me. it has less clearance for the woods and greenhouse work, but would sure be nice during the Maine winters and snow removal! the added complexity of having that cab is also scary. the only reason id really jump at is is the "deal" factor. that DL280 loader will sure...

keep us posted. i did quite a bit of 26xx HD series hunting on the board and follow this thread pretty tight. Ive also combed through all of JWR's posts relating to these tractors.

its a 2012 i believe. its 1000 miles away so i would be buying sight unseen (although i do plan on prodding the owner) and having it shipped. we dont have much to pick from as far as used tractors go here in Maine. Theres certainly no "deals" up here.

I was really aiming for a rops but I got a lead on a barn kept 2670 HD with a DL280 loader and CAH 1100 hours for 20k. I'm having a real hard time not pulling the trigger

I was really aiming for a rops but I managed to get a lead on a barn kept 2012 2670 HD with a DL280 loader and CAH, better condition and lower hours for 4k cheaper lol. I'm having a real hard time not pulling the trigger

I found a rops version with DL260 and 1400 hours locally for 25k. Front tires are worn down leading me to believe it's seen a life of heavy loader use

how did your brake job go? this thread has me scared to buy a 2650 HD for sale locally. its a 2012 model so maybe it came with the upgraded brakes from the factory?

The 3 point is a much need and valuable commodity as well. Almost as useful as the loader

i think after careful consideration im gonna have to find a smaller tractor. if this thing weighs in at 8100lbs i wont be able to tow it to a shop for maintenance work with my 2016 tundra. its got a tow rating to 10,100lbs. too close to gamble.

Thanks! I saw that tractor data already. I didn't find the 4wd operating weight but if I use the 2wd rops weight difference between operating and shipping it's 787lbs difference. Add that to 4wd and it's 7092 but that's just a guess. Also i cant find the weight of the DL260 loader which I'm...

these are going to be 20ft hoop houses. i plan to make "High Tunnels" which i should be able to get the tractor in and out of on either side. i wont be able to drive up close to the edges due to height but i plan to make some form of 3 point pallet lift so i can detach the loader for more...

***ended up buying a 2015 Kubota m5-111 with la1854 loader found a massey 2650 HD for sale locally that caught my eye. with the DL260 loader. I only have 3 acres (1 acre is currently being cleared), a few hundred feet of private driveway that needs constant snow removal and and constant...

oddly enough i found a 764 for sale locally only 20 mins away. the issue is it looks pretty rough and could end up costing quite a bit to get it operational. secondly without a subframe/mount kit and hydraulic install kit this thing is would need all of that custom fabbed. seems like a simple...

does anyone happen to have a pdf or epub copy to share with me of the ford 545c operators manual and the service manual? id be greatly indebted to your kindness!

maybe a better pic would help? Found another one online its 2wd though. it looks different than the blade style knob shown sticking out of the steering wheel on the pics of the one im interested in... 199 Ford 545C Front End Loader/ Only 57 hours Online Government Auctions of Government...

I am will soon be checking out one of these in 4wd but it looks a little rough. Owner says everything is in good working order. All gears work, reverser, brakes etc. No leaks that he is aware of all hydraulics function. Says he thinks it's a 1980. The research I'm seeing looks like it might be...

Picking up a Challenger that looks to be similar to a 1433. Anyone know about this model? What 72" mid mount mowers will fit this unit? Are there other front mount snow blowers that will bolt up?

I've also found a local late 80's Case 385 4x4 with a Dual "Du-All" #110 loader, quick attach bucket, snow plow, forks. Owner says the following: I've contacted some local small engine repair shops to see what the cost would be to pull the clutch, send it in to Fort Wayne Clutch for a rebuild...

Can the Rim be flipped and bolted back into the wheel to gain a few inches of clearance for snow chains?

I have 5 acres of densely wooded rolling/sloping forest in southern Maine. I've been looking at 1980-2000 model garden thru compact sized tractors 18-30 hp 4x4's with FEL's and most good running condition units bring $8k-$15k. Ive seen a few industrial sized units like a late 70's Case 580c 2wd...

Ive found a Case 580C with a 3pt hitch/PTO, heated cab and no backhoe. price is 8k. what should I look for when i go see it? Does anyone know what the lift rating is on this tractor? would a 3pt hitch backhoe later on down the road be anywhere near as useful as the original backhoe that came on...

Id like to pick up small subcompact with a belly mower preferably. I generally see b6000 up to b7300's in this price range here around Houston. However, ive seen nice condition b7510's even in the price range outside of Texas... What models can I expect to get in this price range used from a...
