    L3830 steering problem

    Hello, Im chasing down a power steering problem with a Kubota L3830. It appears the back of the pump where the steering input shaft enters is where the leak is. Is this a refurbishable part (the pump) or is it only direct replacement? I called my local dealer and they’re quoting $1,700 for a...

    L3901 HST pricecheck

    Call on a new one of the same model with the same options and see where that's at as a comparison. In addition, check online to see what pricing you come up with over a range. I've checked Craigslist and Tractorhouse.com to see what others are asking. Tractorhouse are primarily dealers so...

    Steering noise/drag on MX5800

    I've got just over 6 hours on my tractor now (MX5800) and I've noticed a slight noise in the steering in the front end. I can also feel it a little bit, kind of hard to describe, but it just isn't smooth. It's not in the axle, it's in the steering/cylinders. I almost would say it feels like...

    Mounting Wheel Weights on Kubota MX5800

    Hello, I checked the forum and most of the discussions are about whether to get wheel weights, what size/how many, and where to buy them from. I couldn't find anything about mounting wheel weights, especially that are around 100 pounds. I searched youtube and only found a couple decent...

    L3901 headlights

    Are these specific to just this size (tractor) model? I have an MX5800 I was looking to upgrade to LED's all the way around. How do you guys cross reference or get a part number/style number to look up? Thanks!

    Converting an MX5200 to an MX5800

    I wasn't able to get this figured out if anyone is following. I wound up waiting long enough that I sold the MX5200 and bought a brand new MX5800 for $2,000 more than what I sold the MX5200 for. It would have cost me more than this to "upgrade" the MX5200 if it's even possible, which based on...

    "L" or 90 deg angle 3rd Function Connectors?

    Thanks fellas for the responses, I appreciate it as well as the clarification on fittings vs connectors. I'm trying to get this thing setup as bulletproof as possible from the get go rather than it costing me money and down time learning what won't work, then having to pay extra to get it...

    "L" or 90 deg angle 3rd Function Connectors?

    Hello, Looking for information on whether an "L" connector or 90 degree (my bad on the labeling as 45) type connector exists for the main connections for a 3rd function? I had my dealer install my setup in a manner to try to protect the hoses/connections. I'll try to add a picture with this...

    LED Lights & Canopy

    Looking at adding LED lights to my Kubota MX5800. How many watts is too many for the electrical system? I got a price of almost $600 for a canopy for the new tractor, that seems high to me? What other reasonable alternatives have people used that I can try or could order? Thanks!

    MX5800 rear tire ballast

    I'm getting Rimguard added to the rear tires on my MX5800. I'm looking at putting wheel weights on it as well. Is that too much weight on the rear end? At 75% with Rimguard, that's about 1,100 pounds and I don't want to monkey anything up. I was going to add 3pt ballast as well, reasonably...

    Brush hog

    I've had the mid version of your MX, 5100 & 5200, both have less HP than your MX5800 and ran 6 foot implements fine. With the added HP of the MX5800, I would add the wider diameter attachments. The ratio I've heard is a minimum of 5HP per foot of implement. In running the 6' width stuff...

    Converting an MX5200 to an MX5800

    I'm checking with some of the local Kubota dealers to see what options I have. I looked up the ECU online, I must have found a "deal" Teg, the price I found was only......ONLY MIND YOU......$2,205.10. I'll be checking over the coming weeks to see what my options are. Thanks for all the help...

    Converting an MX5200 to an MX5800

    Hello All, I currently own a 2016 MX5200 which I bought used. I've read up on the different models available in this line/series, and thus far, it sounds like the same base motor is in the MX4800, MX5200, & MX5800. For the MX5200 & MX5800, they add a turbo to boost the HP to get up to the...
