I'm finally (after over 12 months of waiting) getting my BH92 backhoe in a couple of weeks. I'll be running it on an MX5800. I'm going to get a 12" trenching bucket. I'd like to get a bigger bucket for digging holes, but I'm not sure what size to get. 24"? 30"? I'm mostly curious what others...

Watch the weight on grapples. Easy to get one so heavy that you dont have any capacity left in the grapple after the grapple itself!

Well, did you pull the trigger and get something bought? I just went from a L355ss with ag tires to an MX5800 with industrial tires, and I kinda miss my ag tires. I'm not that worried about compaction and tearing up the yard (I'm not on some fancy estate) and the R4s definitely slip a lot...

What if you have something attached to the PTO and for some reason you're running it at low RPMs? Or what if you are running geared or HST Cruise Control and it speeds up on you. It is good that computer doesn't automatically increase RPMs for Regen. I think if you do parked Regen, it does...

I have an MX not a B, so very different use cases... but I wish my MX had ag tires. Everything from mud to filling the loader, the tires slip so much more than my last tractor that had Ag. I***8217;ll probably especially notice when discing and plowing. FarmFreshKS

I didn't look up the M62 until you said this. I didn't realize it is a TLB. That makes this a harder decision for certain. If the price were right, I'd be awfully tempted by the M62. FarmFreshKS

I forgot you were a newby. Have you considered asking the dealer to let you drive around their lot on each to get a feel for them? I know that's going to make you want to buy the HST, but I also know that if you got the shuttle shift version you would get better with it overtime, and the...

I think HST is going to be your big question to answer. I occasionally see a size-up from the MX5800 and think maybe I should've gone for that, but then I remember the HST. When I bought my MX5800 I was going from a smaller shuttle shift machine. Let's look at your task list: tree stumps -...

Oh yeah, and HST. I do a lot of mowing in tight spaces and loader work, so I really wanted HST.

I went with the MX5800 for the lighter weight. My tractor spends a lot of time in the yard and pasture (read untilled dirt) and I didn't want the soil compaction of a heavier tractor. I haven't even had it a week yet, but so far I love it. Filled tires, but I need to figure out more ballast...

This is an older thread, but I have opinions, so I'll keep it going. 1) I would feel comfortable towing this behind a tundra for 7 miles at 40 miles per hour no problem. Just be smart with loading and driving. 2) I probably wouldn't do it. By time you hitch up the trailer, load up the...

I agree. I think you're probably OK. This would more likely cause wear damage over time... not in a single use. I used to have an L355ss with no issues that the previous owner never took out of 4wd (I don't think he spent much time on the road). I, on the other hand, only engage 4wd when I'm...

Went out and got me an MX5800HST, now I don't need my L355ss anymore... do you? Asking $9,250 O.B.O. Located in the Greater Kansas City area. This is a good little tractor that won't break the bank. Smaller tractors like this get around your farm or estate easily while still having the...
