With only 187 hours this tractor is in excellent condition. Aside from a few minor scratches in the paint there is no damage or leaks anywhere. Maintenance as been performed above and beyond the recommended maintenance schedule. Loader has the skid steer quick attach mounting function. It comes...

So I went ahead and used the first freeze plug location (from the front) on the left side. I used this location because it was the only one that was completely unobstructed. The 3rd and 4th locations were blocked by the starter. The starter is only 2 bolts but the lower bolt is blocked by the...

What about Permatex sleeve retainer?

I don't see how it could go in on the right side. The right side is so cluttered with stuff that I can't even see the freeze plugs.

So will any freeze plug location do? The reason I ask is the recommended location, according to the heater instructions, is blocked by the the starter. It looks like I would have to remove the starter to swing a hammer for the adapter sleeve installation. Is removing the starter as simple as...

FrankCable, did you ever figure this out? I have the same tractor and was trying to figure out which location is the best for the block heater.

Can someone tell me the Kubota part number for their block heater that fits the MX series? Also, which freeze plug location is the best? TIA.

There are guys saying that filled tires, wheel weights, and an implement on the 3 point are not enough to keep the rear end down. I'm worried I'm...

2018 Kubota Mx5200 HST with 87 hours. Over the past few days I put some serious use on the loader for the first time. I moved about 30 tons of clean dirt that had been sitting in a pile for about 3 years. I also moved about 20 tons of crush and run gravel that had been sitting for over a year...

Makes sense but why are some of the other kubota models vented?

I checked the axle housing for a vent. There isn't one. When I removed the fill plug I could hear a hiss as the positive air pressure escaped. I'm guessing the seepage will stop for now. Need to install a vent tube I suppose.

MX5200 with 75 hours. Is this normal? Anyone have the torque specs?

Any updates on this?

I have the owner's manual only. If they make a shop manual for the MX I need to get one.
