I was a little light on the info. I have a MX4900 with the 3rd function. So am appreciative of your experience with the MX.

Thinking about getting a hydraulic post hole digger (SA20?) for my MX4900 with the 3rd function. Would welcome other experience with this setup vs. the three point type.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and insights they are much appreciated. I've been looking off and on for several months as we wait for our house to be built. There are some good deals to be had, but almost everything involves a road trip for me. I'll contact the dealer and suggest/request...

yes comes with the 1065 loader and 72" bucket

Posting on the purchase of a 2023 MX6000 "new" at the dealer with less than 10 hours on it. Apparently they've used it for shows and implement demonstrations. It looks pretty good in the pictures, but there is some surface rust on the three point and a little on the brush guard in front. The...

I know this is an older thread, but I'm thinking about having a MX5400 shipped. Are there any new shipper recommendations?

Thanks everybody. I did get a quote from the local dealer for the MX6000 along with a BH92. Dealer quoted $2,000 for installation of the backhoe.

Been looking for a MX series tractor and will likely buy used. Unfortunately used MX tractors with a backhoe seem to be few and far between. If I was to purchase the tractor and backhoe separately what would be required to retrofit the BH? Subframe, hydraulics, ? Thanks in advance.

One down the street from me, Victor MT, sold for $23,500. It was a 2018 L2501 with about 20 hours on it also had the BH77 attached. As a side, the person who bought it immediately listed it for $27K where it sat on C-list for awhile. I tried to find the second sellers ad, but its either sold or...

Thanks guys. It has a floating top link that the manual says is used for ditch crossings. Will see how it works today if time permits.

Hello, Just bought a rotary cutter to mow our 15 acres. I have a L2501 with the Kubota Telescopic Stabilizer Kit instead of the turn buckles. Being new to rotary cutters, what's the recommended amount of side to side movement of the mower. I believe Messick's recommends (from their video on the...

Yep, new filter has a magnet as part of it. Old filter had a magnet attached that captured some of the shavings. Old is off and new is on, need to be quick on the change over as fluid comes out at a fairly rapid pace. These L2501s are easy to work on. Thank you all for responding

Thank you for the welcome! I have both manuals, they do contain a wealth of information.

I bought a used L2501 (100 hours) and when buying used I like to change oil and filters just to make sure these things are current in regards to calendar time and hours on the machine. I've changed the engine oil and filter, and the transmission filter plus various other checks. This all went...
