    Backhoe for MX5400DTC

    The 92 backhoe is specified for the MX open station models. I don’t think a backhoe is compatible with the cab model.

    Front End Loader Curl not holding position

    Yep, most likely the cylinders need rebuilt with new seals.

    I’ll bet nobody remembers that, I’m guessing that was early 1900s

    Furniture Finish Restoration

    I’ve heard that. I do like building up a finish by wet sanding between multiple coats. Can you do that with the water based polys?

    I was just throwing that out for people unfamiliar with Arizona. I’m a native Arizonian and have always been irked by people characterizing the entire state like the Phoenix area. I’ve been a NM resident for 19 years, but spent most of my life in Northern Arizona.

    Furniture Finish Restoration

    I’ve had great results with whiping polyurethane. You can also wet sand with fine sandpaper between coats and it builds a very durable finish. Either clear or stain tinted.

    Decision Overload

    I used to own 2.5 acres in Flagstaff and had a small B sized tractor. Yes, I did a lot with it, but it also felt unstable when using the loader and doing ground engagement. I had a blade that stopped the tractor when trying to cut potholes from a packed gravel road. Unless a few thousand dollars...

    Decision Overload

    After owning a B series sized tractor for 20 years, I was glad to move up to a larger framed heavier machine. The increased stability alone is a substantial improvement. That L2502 is a lot more capable than the B2601, even though they are the same HP.

    Arizona is a big place. Where I used to live in Flagstaff, the soil was soft decomposed cinders.

    Or a good rear blade with tilt and offset, which is more useful than a land plane.

    L2502 with HST would be performing your needs. It’s not worth buying used for a few thousand dollars savings and not having a warranty. But buy the HST. You’ll thank yourself in the future.

    Seat protector

    Sorry to hear that. But when I bought my tractor, the MX6000 was a new model and they told me the same. I went to a dealer and measured seats of comparable sized machines that were listed in the Durafit products. I took a chance and bought a cover based on that comparison and it fits perfectly...
