It's on the Dealer lot awaiting upgrade parts, so who knows.

Haven't done the exact math, but it's in the ballpark of 13% off. Must be fair and tell you that I've bought other equipment (tractor, 6 implements) over the years from my Dealer, but I doubt that would amount to much of a discount. I replaced my JD 5075e with this tractor. I didn't much care...

If you haven't bought one yet, you should try to find another Dealer. I just bought a new M4D-061 and got it significantly below MSRP in Missouri.

Need some expert help. I have a '15 x1100c that began drinking coolant at approx. 100 hours. At first, there were small spots of coolant on the floor when parked, but after pressurizing the system with a coolant system tester, I found three clamp leaks. That corrected any coolant leaking on the...

Here's mine. IMO if you are wanting to trail ride you'll be sorely disappointed with the X1100c and as I say that from the perspective of being a former Yamaha Rhino owner. My situation was that the Rhino (great machine) wasn't built to do what I wanted to do with it. However, my RTV is an...

Got a pic of the finished product? I have the same tractor and was considering a similar mod as the soot is really difficult to remove from my loader.

Ironically, my MX5100 just turned 100 hours last weekend when I was using my finishing mower and mine started doing the same thing at the same interval (30 mins or so into use). The temp out was in the 90s, but the tractor temp was normal. I did the fluid/filters change at 50 hrs per the manual...

I have the HST on my MX5100 and when pulling my rotary mower I simply slow down pulling a hill and it'll easily maintain RPM. Hills have never been an issue for me, regardless what I'm doing (though I do occasionally have to slow down). My years of exp. with gear drives had the same...

I just did my 50 hour service a few weeks back. i contacted Kubota about the hyd oil R&R and they emailed me that it's not required at 50 hours, but that the filters should be changed. I went ahead and changed the hyd oil and it looked like brand new. So, it was probably a waste of time and...

Yep, loosen the female quick disconnect at the line (on the FEL) to relieve the pressure. Solves the problem every time, but what a PITA! Be careful, as I got sprayed the last time I did it because it had so much pressure built up. It will also make a mess if you don't have a bucket to catch the...

Unfortunately, I have not figured out how to not get mine to do this (other than in the winter it's not a problem). In warm weather, mine does it every time and the only way to connect them is to loosen a QD to relieve the pressure. Mine is the bucket side that causes the problems.

Hoping someone can help with an ongoing problem I'm having with my MX5100/LA844 FEL. It seems that every time I remove my FEL, I have to loosen the QD to relieve the pressure before I can reconnect it. Doesn't seem like this should be required every time I try to reconnect the hydraulics. I...

I use 409 and it seems to work well. My power washer wouldn't take it off either.

Thanks Jim, and you too Bulldog. I did cycle the control lever, but obviously not enough. I've already come to the conclusion that I'll have to relieve the pressure. Sure is a pain. Thanks again for you help.

This is the second time I've had my FEL off my tractor, and I need to reinstall it, but cannot get the bucket quick disconnects (QDs) reconnected (Blue and Red). The raise and lower QDs (White and Yellow) will connect, but not the bucket QDs. I have cross connected the couplers to ensure the...
