MX 5100 HST about two yrs old. Only time I notice is when in high and running the road, then it is loud. 90% of the time when working it, I leave it in mid range and it makes minimal noise. Don't notice it over the engine. Only issue I have with it is you have to watch the light rear end...

Was asking my dealer about this little guy. Mentioned that I am a fan of the HST, and he told me that I wouldnt be with the 2501. His words were " you have never heard a louder transmission than that one". Anyone care to comment on this? Doc

I keep about a 4 foot piece of rope with a hook on each end to park my BH 92. Run it between the foot pads of the outriggers to keep them up. Hoe has less than 25 hrs on it. Doc

Re: Woos splitter for backhoe thumb? That makes perfect sense. Hadn't thought about racking up hours on a 33,000 Tractor/backhoe vs a 1200 dollar log splitter. Will have to contemplate that a bit. Doc

Anyone make any kind of attachment/wedge that could be bolted between the teeth of the backhoe bucket or thumb that would enable you to use it as a wood splitter? Just thinking it would save purchasing one more piece of equipment. Doc May have to play with some redneck engineering and see...

+1 No great experienced operator, but seems most stable to me if I just get the weight off the tires without actually picking them up. As far as wear on the axle, that happens with any use. I wouldn't focus so much on that as tractor stability while using the implement. Doc

Interlock kit also. Can run most of the house with it. Haven't tried the central heat/air. You have pretty much described my situation exactly. I run the well pump to pressurize everything, then turn it off and turn the water heater on. IN about an hour, turn off water heater and pump...

500 gal farm tank treated with algicide just for such an occasion. Will update as used. Doc

OK, I am the worlds worst about asking questions AFTER a purchase (closing the barn door after the horse escapes), but was looking for some confirmation of my purchase. I read and talked to dealers (one of whom I graduated with 30 yrs ago so I really trust his opinion) and they were high on...

Oh boy!!!! :eek::eek: She is ABSOLUTELY GEORGOUS!!!! Take care of that little girl and she will be handed down to your kiddo's. Doc

Re: L3010 wsm &la480 wsm Are the manuals still available? PM inbound. Doc

Put it through it's whole range of motion and check all the fittings. I recently had a BH 92 mounted to my MX, and as I was loading it on the trailer at the dealer, I thought I had better do that. Well, one of the mounting brackets was about 1/16" off and snapped of a hydraulic fitting on the...

Is the original fluid that comes in one the SUDT2 or is there a break-in oil in it? Sorry, mechanical stuff definitely isn't my forte. I am going to do the same on my MX5100. She gets a bit loud in road gear!! Doc

Love the still photo of the floppy lips! Doc

That's pretty much a little beast of a machine! I bet your gonna love it! Doc

I deflate until the entire width of the tire tread makes contact with the ground. That is just what I do but have never had any issue. Doc

Where is that? You on a bayou or private water? Really like that. Doc

Was bush hogging at the farm tonight and hopped off to move a big limb. Looked back and saw this; I sure like my side kick!! I sure love this old farm too. Doesn't mean much to anyone else, but it is home! Doc

Good thought, never contemplated that one. (Breaks) Doc

Yep, through the years my list of "Have to have" accessories for tractors has grown. Grew up with a 2000 Ford 2wd. If I can afford it, my tractor will always have; 4 wheel drive Quick attach FEL Hydrostat transmission YMMV but I have grown to really like these additions. I am sure you will...
