The L3010GSt shown above should work, but would be at about the minimum. Also I noticed the John Deere dealer in Wamego has a used Kubota on the lot, but I didn’t check it out. You might take a look at it. I personally would stay away from the tricycle type of tractors unless you really know...

KansasKubota, In todays market it will be tough getting a tractor to meet your needs in your price point. PurpleWave auctions in Manhattan is a good source And of course KanEquip. KanEquip is where I bought my new MX5100 a few years ago. It does everything I want it to do and more...

I bolted on two hooks a few months ago for my MX 5100. Yesterday I sawed down a dead beetle infested pine tree. The only photo I took was this one with the chain around the tree trunk . I pulled it back a way. Then sawed it in about 8 ft. Long sections And using both hooks lifted it up and...

I bought the $27.00, 2 magnet mirror for my MX5100 a few months ago. For $27.00 I figured if it didn’t work out I’d just pitch it. Seems to be okay, but no great tests yet. It’s by far the cheapest thing I have bought for the tractor! Richard

Neat area. We have old friends who have a ranch near Victoria And we have visited the there several times. I bet anyone who might rent your RV would like the area.

Great looking place! Looks like the Texas Hill country. Especially like the Texas Longhorn cow! We raised them for 20 years and I also was the TLBAA President in the late 1980s. While we live in the flint hills grass country in Kansas, I spent a lot of time in Texas.

After reading this thread, I decided to order a set of hooks for the loader on my Kubota MX 5100. Great little hooks,had them in less than a week, informative instructions, and installed in about an hour! Thanks Kennyd4110. Richard

Now that’s a great collection of big boys toys!👍 Enjoy!

Lots of interesting replies to my thread! Most of you reaffirmed some of my thoughts, ie: twisting load on the FEL, can’t see where I’m digging when seated in the tractor, moving the tractor around all the time, not very heavy duty. Our son had an outside water line break, he rented a small...

Thanks for your reply and advice. We may only use it a couple times a year for repairing frozen hydrants or something similar so it really makes economic sense to rent one when needed.

I have thought about whether or not how useful a quick attach front backhoe would work on my tractor loader. I have a Kubota MX5100 with a FEL. There are quite a few manufacturers who make the front backhoe attachment, but most are used on a skid loader. I don’t have a skid loader and they say...
