I just purchased a Kubota MX5200. My question is it makes a clicking noise when I turn the key to the on position prior to starting. I think this is normal as I have heard it on other MX’s. I guess I am more curious on what is making the noise? I thought it might be glow plugs but when the light...

I need something that is offset that I can mow around a 1 acre pond and also be used to mow the ditch by the road. It seems like ditch bank mowers are only for larger tractors. What are my options? I’m looking at purchasing a MX5400, 46 pto hp and around 4500 to 5000 lbs with loader I would...

Thanks for all the advice. My local dealer has a l4701 and a mx6000. Going to get quotes on both but I know the MX is going to be substantially more. I’m probably going to stick with a 6ft cutter because I’m too cheap to buy a 10 or 12ft and I question the ability to run it in tall grass with...

Looking at purchasing a L3901 (32hp pto), L4701 (39hp pto), or MX5400 (46hp pto). Wanted to get advice on what the right tractor for my use is. Looking at 4wd HST with loader on all models. The primary use is to rotary cut about 15 acres. Grass can get thick at times (usually in spring) but I...

I was quoted roughly $32,500 + tax for tractor with loader (from Kieth). As far as being tax exempt I didn’t think I qualified. I have 25 acres, but I do not have a business of any kind. It is open field (16-17 acres) that I mow and the rest is ponds and woods. I do not produce any income from...

I am not tax exempt, so tax implication is the same buying now or waiting. The only thing I would use it for in the next 90 days is snow blowing, which I have a tractor I can currently do that with.

Trying to decide if I should buy now or wait until the spring. A dealer near me has an MX5800, and right now they have 1.99% for 84 months, 6 year warranty, and $1,500 rebate. That is on top of some money dealer is giving off (about another $1,500). If I wait until the spring will I be able to...

Looking at a Rhino TW26 rotary cutter (6ft). Anyone have experience with one? What is the quality like/do they hold up? Would be cutting 16 acres with it. Mostly grass up to 3 feet tall. I try to keep it to less and mow 4 to 6 times a year. It can get pretty thick at times. Would this cutter be...

I am about to pull the trigger on either a MX5200 or MX5800 both are hst with R4 tires. Will a sb1064 be a good snow blower to run behind it? I know it won’t cover the width of the tractor, but it’s $750 less than a sb1074. Will I run into any issues with the blower being narrower than the...

I looked at redline and got a quote, but they wouldn’t budge much on price. Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely look at the Carleton dealer. The dealer I am looking at is Kings Kubota out of Coldwater and Jackson.

There are a few new mx5800’s near me. Might wait for the mx6000. Depends on what the price difference would be. Besides mowing I will be doing some snow blowing but that’s about it.

Want your opinion if the MX5800 is the right tractor for me. I have about 16 acres to mow and plan to use a rotary cutter to do it. I will mow 4 to 5 times a year. I would like to run a Woods DS8.30 pull type or RCR2596 pull type, both are 8ft cutters. What I am mowing is open field that can...
