I recommend that you buy the Harbor Freight LED light kit along with the wiring kit. It directly connects to the battery with a relay and you can just zip tie the wire to out of the way locations and up the ROPS to the light mount. Don’t drill the ROPS, just use u-clamps along with whatever...

Nope. I do that to attach a choker cable for skidding logs and brush.

Loader tractors put a substantial load on the front axle. The 2wd front ends are wimpy compared to the 4wd axles. Also these tractors need the 4wd function to dig into the ground or pile when using the loader. This isn’t a 10K pound machine that can generate traction from weight alone.

The MX is an awesome tractor platform, but I wouldn’t want a 2wd model.

Yes, using dye is very helpful. But I used a purple dye that is specifically developed for mixing with herbicides. It’s easily visible for awhile after spraying, but then fades out so that everything isn’t a color patch.

It was only in the mid 70s and stormy in New Mexico today. No heat And 2” of rain where I live this afternoon.

Find a piece of PCV or ABS pipe that fits in the massive hole to reduce the size of it.

I could never see paying cash for vehicles. I can still get a better investment rate of return than the loan interest rates I can get at my credit union. As long as I can afford the payments, my cash stays invested.

The ones I’ve seen use rear remotes.

I believe the Kubota matched backhoe kit comes with the subframe and hydraulic lines. You would need rear remotes for hookup. IDK how many remotes are required; but getting less than 3 makes no sense.

Get the chains. The rubber on my Landpr cutter is torn and now I’m going to order the chains.

The new R4’s that Kubota uses are awesome and the grooving greatly increase traction. Go look at them.

I’ve never had that situation with R4’s. They only would be an issue is the ground was soft and wet, and anything would tear up grass under those conditions.

Sounds like the engine is belly up.

The R14s are a nice compromise between traction and being gentle on the ground. But for your purposes going in the woods, I would choose R4. They have the most rigid sidewalls and are more durable riding over sticks and rocks.
