Couldn't resist the 0% financing and needing/wanting more tractor. Sold the L3800 last week and had the MX5200 delivered today. Ash bore really took its toll on my property and clearing the property of all the dead ash really started to push the limits of the L3800. Quite anxious to continue the clearing of my property with the new Kubota.

Just wondering if you found an especially good deal from an Aussie dealer, since it seems to be set up for operation "down under".

Bad jokes aside, that's a very nice outfit there. Should make quite a difference in how much work you can get done. And welcome to TBN!

I did something similar a few years ago. Sold my L3700 and bought the MX5100 - best decision I made. had the same issues with the L just being a bit too small and in my case not wide enough. Been extremely please with the MX and never regretted the decision in the least.
Enjoy your new machine!

You'll love it! Rear tires loaded and 1000lbs ballast box is a must for max loader work. Also if you're gonna run a grapple you'll want to fab an expanded metal grill guard (ask me and others how we know). Congrats.

I did load the rears and currently looking for a root rake style grapple. Any pics of a enhanced grill guard are appreciated.

Congratulations. You'll love the MX5200. I sure do.

Congratulations MX is a really good series for the money, get you a hydraulic top-link and you'll love it; agree on the grill guard.

Wnen I click on them they are correct. Only the thumbnail is upside-down. Is that not true for everyone?
