Kubota MX5800 Front Fenders?

[cold1313]

It's a stretch but I was curious to see if anyone knows of a way to get Kubota front fenders for my MX5800. I don't even know if Kubota makes fenders for them? Messicks was unable to get anything for the U.S.

With things starting to thaw, the sandy field is starting to throw the mud around a bit.

I know there are probably after market and they seem to go for way more than fenders are probably worth....

Well, it is an international world these days and I believe that the EU requires tractors to have front fenders.

So if Kubota is sold in Europe there has to be front fenders.

I do know that the M7-1 have fenders (available) here in Aus.

That's what I was wondering...I just don't know how to acquire them from the EU.

cold,
better hurry, might soon be a tariff on fenders! just kidding of course, plastic not aluminum right? BTW, what has your experience been with emissions regeneration? On fenders, a bracket for the fixed position looks feasible, but if you want the fender to follow wheel orientation, more difficult. The fenders for trucks would work fine, say single wheel, 19" diameter tire, readily available. Mounting bracket is the issue As an aside, you know there is aftermarket all glass cab available for the MX. I purchased one, very satisfied. Are you familiar w/ Paul and Kathy Short, U Tube channel in Canada. Believe he has fenders on his L5740. Leave a comment on a recent video, He has a custom shop and would likely be able to assist you.

Correct - looking for plastic. I'd like to use a Kubota made fender. I can fab up the brackets with scrap metal in my shop or from work. I just know the Kubota ones would look a little better. I'd like for the fender to follow the wheel orientation, especially due to the width of the front tires on the MX's.

I follow Paul on Facebook and Youtube. Great work and very clean on everything. I think he got his fenders from Kubota, but took awhile to find them - if I remember right. Or they were from his previous tractor and swapped these over to his L5740.

I'm willing to jump through some hoops to get a EU Kubota fender kit - if I had an idea what they cost and how to get them.

Unfortunately I can't comment on the emissions regeneration yet. They dropped off my MX5800 around the beginning of December and my son was born, then the weather has been junk. All I've really done with it (besides moving it into the barn when they delivered it) was to push the driveway once. I love the machine and I only have about 2 hours on it! I think it came with 1 hour on it lol.

Some suggestions:

1. Call a Kubota dealer in Canada
2. AG Fenders: http://www.jonesco-plastics.com/pdf/cv-usa/AG-Fenders.pdf
3. I made a set using trailer fenders. It was rather straight forward. Rubber flaps were added after picture taken. These fenders come in a variety of sizes and fairly economical if your capable of fabricating mounting.

Canadian dealer - "Nothing offered from Kubota, will have to look at aftermarket".

Did you investigate this any further? I'm curious what you learned about fender availability.

I didn't look into anything aftermarket...I figured it would be hacked together compared to an OEM product.

Thanks for the response. I was hoping you did the leg work and found an economical nicely designed fender that could be modified to work.
