Thanks for the update. Glad its fixed now.

Ive never had a belt break. . . Yet. I will wait until it breaks to replace it. My b2601 has 172 hrs. MMM belt still looks new. My previous mower was a JD915B zero turn. Traded it in after 6 years/262 hrs and never replaced a belt.

What was the driving doing just before hitting you? Looking at their cell phone? I see that every day. Sitting at an intersection, the light turns green and they don't move. Too busy texting on their phone. Either drive the car or use the phone but not at the same time. I would like to see...

I just purchased 3 new Oregon standard blades for my MMM. When they came in I removed the stickers and checked the balance on them. Al 3 were way out of balance. Between removing some of the paint, and a little metal I was able to get them balanced. It's amazing how much smoother the...

I just searched Kubota's website under recalls and nothing was listed. Can someone who has dealership ties find out the serial numbers of the units involved please. I have not been contacted by Kubota, and I'm not finding anything online.

Keep your photos and any correspondence you have with the dealership. In case you need it in the future. . .

Using a 60 inch mower vs a 54 inch mower is only going to save you about 15 minutes. If your objective is to reduce your time spent mowing, I would suggest finding a zero turn mower. They mow faster and are more maneuverable than a tractor.

I agree with Shawn. BEFORE you start wrenching on it, get a shop manual. Start with the simple things first. Even a perfectly working cooling system will overheat the engine if the radiator screen is clogged and preventing air flow. I would start there.

Before I used it again, I would be inspecting the cooling system for issues.

I saw a YouTube video where a dealer talking specifically about the LX MMM said owners may need to use a floor jack to raise the deck high enough so that the holes will line up for the pin. But he did say that the LX decks were made to be pinned in the upper position so the 3 point could be...

Before I started cutting and drilling on my deck, I would go find another LX like that one and look at it and see if they are really all like that, or if yours is assembled wrong. It makes no sense to put on a plate on the deck to be able to pin it in the up position, but the holes won't line...

SDT is correct. The BX/B MMM's are floating. The LX sits on the gauge wheels while mowing.

Interesting design. At 388lbs I think it's a little big for a BX or the smaller B series. Maybe they will design one for the sub compact tractors. The subcompact market is a lot of equipment. The other question is can you leave the grapple on the loader and take the loader off the tractor...

Check and confirm the driveshaft is connected at both ends and not just the pto shaft. A similar problem was happening on another tractor forum, and it turned out to be a broken U joint on the driveshaft. The driveshaft was just laying on the deck and spinning when the pto was engaged.
