    WTF FedEx

    I’ve had two different packages lost in transit in the last year. One was USPS, the other FedEx. USPS package showed up the day after the sending company agreed to send a replacement, FedEx package was never delivered and order was cancelled and a refund on the CC was issued. I worked in a...

    M4 Work Shop Manual - No Hard Cover?

    Yea I had the same deal. I wanted a hard copy and ordered one when I bought my MX5400 last year. Tried to get it thrown in with the deal but it was a no go. Paid about double what you paid. Expected the manual in a nice binder… nope, just came wrapped in plastic wrap. I new I could get a down...

    Bypassing seat safety switch on 2021 MX6000

    On the MX5400 you can stand up without the tractor dying. If you step on the treadle pedal to go forward or reverse without being in the seat the tractor will die.

    tiny mod: seat switch defeat

    I upgraded from a Ford 860 to the MX5400. I have to say while on the 860 it is nice to be able to alternate between standing and sitting while brush hogging. Dangerous yes, stupid probably, but sure gives the back a break. I don’t know if it’s all me being a dumb*** or just growing up in an era...

    Bypassing seat safety switch on 2021 MX6000

    Thanks, that’s the one. So does anyone know how the switch is wired in or is it taboo to tell someone how to do it?

    Bypassing seat safety switch on 2021 MX6000

    I saw another thread a while back where a member wired in a momentary on-off switch which he mounted on the loader joystick. The set up looked really sweet. So when you say “wire in an on-off switch in parallel” which wire or wires would you tap into. If I remember correctly the switch was a...

    MX 6000 safety switch

    I have a MX5400 and would like to modify the seat switch also. I’m not sure if what was done in the below thread would work on the MX series or exactly how the op wired in the switch but it sure looks slick. Try to copy the link below into your search engine or use this to look up using the...

    Knowledgeable employees

    Finally got around to buying some pallet forks. I called a local dealership to see what they had in stock. They sell 3 brands of forks and had what I wanted (48” forks 3-4k range) in all 3 brands. So last Saturday I drove up there to buy a set. There were 3 employees standing around talking when...

    Top and Tilt debacle...A pictorial guide on how to shoot ones self in the foot (Part 1)

    I’ll have to say your project threads are some of the most informative I have read. The details along with the pictures are great. I really appreciate the detail you give of the mistakes you made instead of just giving the final result’s with everything working. To me seeing the mistakes made...

    Difficulty getting remotes in

    Finally…….Talked to my dealer this morning and the last of the three rear remote kits I ordered finally shows shipping UPS to my dealer today. Ordered them back in mid December, so just shy of 6 months for them to come in. :)

    Hiring out a hay farmer in WNC.

    Personally instead of worrying about how many cuttings the farmer is taking I would concentrate on if the farmer is keeping up the nutrient requirements of the fields. Taking hay off your field’s every year without fertilizing to replace the nutrients removed can have a negative affect on your...

    Difficulty getting remotes in

    I may have missed it, but all I saw from WR Long was a 3rd function kit for the loader. I am waiting on 3 rear remote lever kits. I have seen aftermarket rear remote kits but I prefer to have the levers for the rear remotes in the factory slots on the tractor.

    Difficulty getting remotes in

    How did you find out you were 724th in line and get the estimated delivery date? My dealer said Kubota will not give him any information on the status of my order.
