As did my mother whenever I would say "I wish..."

I have a heated and air conditioned barn. The tractor will never see temps much below 30F unless something very unusual happens (like shooting a deer when it's very cold). I plow using my Ranger Northstar with a heated cab. I've used 15W-40 in my L4300 and never had an issue. Mainly trying to...

Looks like it's Valvoline as of 2019.

No question on the super UDT2 but who makes Kubota synthetic oil? Surely not Kubota. Lots of Amsoil fans on my car sites.

I figured I just wasn't looking correctly. Thanks; I bookmarked both threads to be enjoyed later. I must say discovering Lock N Lube has greatly enhanced my "enjoyment" of greasing zirks!

I tried to search but didn't come up with anything. I have an MX6000 coming in "soon" - what is everyone using for engine oil? Synthetic? My Ventrac has a Kubota Diesel engine and that machine calls for Synthetic 10W-30 both in the manual and on the hood sticker. I've always used Rotella 15W-40...

I signed 12/30 on an MX6000 with FEL that they had ordered for stock and due in the end of this month. My salesman was getting calls the whole time I was there. I imagine there may be a lull in buying for a bit to let the new prices settle in.

I wanted a hydraulic top link but what do you use the others for? I'll be running a no till drill, bush hog and 84" finish mower. Nothing fancy.

Open station. Had a Grand L cab and it was too tippy for our property, even with weights and ballast. Good to know about Summit Hydraulics - guess I'll pass on that. I think one rear remote will be adequate for my needs - I was already over what I had hoped to spend, but I don't see things...

Thanks, all. I ended up ordering an MX6000 with FEL, R1s, light material bucket, rod indicator, seat armrests and one set of rear remotes. Due in next month, but I'm fine as long as it's here by spring. I plow with our Ranger. It was an unsold unit on order, so I think it should make it in time...

This is great, thanks. So, is that the switch lever and the in/out control for a hydraulic top link?

I used JB Weld and foldable golf cart mirrors from Amazon. Been almost a year without any troubles. They fold back if they it something. Not fancy but no drilling (and I can't weld).

My L doesn't have ballast in the tires but I always keep an implement on the back as a counterweight (around 700# or so) and have never had a problem with the weight lifted by the FEL. I'm down to deciding between a 6000 with HST and a 5400 with GST. Or keeping what I have "for free". And which...

Thanks. Transplanted here years ago but don't follow sports. People I worked with took OSU very seriously though. It was a less enjoyable Monday when they didn't win. Yes, it seems the move up to the M is beyond what I need. A local (real) farmer friend recommended staying with the MX, as he...

It might even end up a little less with the $2200 cash rebate, but no option for HST.

I started this process thinking I wanted to move to an HST, mainly because of the PIA when trying to move an inch or less with my GST while mounting implements. Then things snowballed. It's been a lot of fun wasting time researching and staying out of my wife's way though! And I thought most of...

It's hard to hurt my feelings but I have little interest in selling it myself. I don't mind the dealer making money on it in return for only dealing with them. From what I've been able to find, I think $15K is probably about right for retail pricing, maybe a little more considering hours and...

Mainly planting and maintaining food plots, brush hogging and some loader work (moving dirt, lifting heavy things). We're in Ohio, so it gets cold but hardly have it out in winter unless I shoot a deer or have a fallen tree that has to be moved. I like the relatively low COG and increased width...

Thanks, all good info. I don't have the space (or budget) for 2 tractors. I'll take another look at the Ms, but I thought they might be getting just a tad big for my intended uses. A guy I used to work with has an older MX that he's very happy with, which is part of what got me looking at them...

Great info! Thanks. The only close comp I could find was from a couple years ago on a machine that look more world worn from the pics but under 1000 hours. Final auction price realized was $15K before buyer's premium. I'll look up that auction...
