I have a MX5100HST and learned something about my three-point lift yesterday that may save someone a repair bill. Under and in front of the seat is an adjustment knob that sets the speed of the front end loader and 3 point lift. Somehow I moved or hit mine such that it was all the way in and...

If you financed with Kubota and got their insurance you should file a claim. Its an all risk policy.

It is so poorly designed! Mine may show full one time and nothing the next, parked in the same spot. Drives me crazy, as I have overfilled it now. dealer says to forget the site glass and look down the fill tube. Will it hurt to run over full?

I just went through this with my MX5100. Finally I washed it up top to bottom and bushhogged for about two hours and found a bolt in an access cover under the transmission was backed out and dripping big time. I hope I have found it. They don't use it...got to be a leak somewhere. I'm not sue...

Well I think I found the short. Inside the solenoid box the frame ground was loose and touching other wires. Time will tell. I went ahead and put the circuit breaker on in place of the fuse and used the grapple for an hour or so and all seems fine. Fingers crossed!

One thing I do to keep the bucket from bouncing is to roll it down just an inch or two. Seems to put a little fluid in the cylinder and it stops the shake.

One last thought before I tear into this wiring...many times I have the grapple off the tractor and of course there is no fluid flowing thru the valve but I is easy it bump a button on the control stick activating the solenoid. Would this cause an overload?

You are so right...on..off..on. Man I love learning about this stuff. I will tear it all back down this weekend and make sure I taped all the switch ends. Got to be something I did wrong. Thanks so much for the help. Still need to know about what to ask for on breaker?

Third function valves like I'm using only have a two position switch to open and close an implement like a grapple. Any suggestions on an inline circuit breaker, should I get auto reset or manual. Mount it inline or on panel within easy reach. Short always is intermittent and is always ok once...

I know the feeling about taking it back. But you bought a new machine and they should come out to your place and fix it. I would call and rase a little **ll and I would bet they come or tell you what to do.

Switch is mounted on hydro control lever. Not sure of brand seems like cobra or something. Came with one touch system.

I cannot ID a time associated with the fuse blow. It just seems to work fine, then the next time I need it the fuse is blown.

I have the Construction Attachments one touch third function valve. I have installed it just like the videos and it works my grapple great. From the beginning I have had fuse problems, it will blow a fuse almost every time I use it. This is the electric over hydraulic valve. I only has two...
