I'm going to do the 200 hour maintenance soon on my MX5800. On the HST filter change section of the manual, it tells you to remove three drain plugs from the trans case. About how much fluid will drain out? On the 400 hour maintenance it shows removal of 4 plugs to change the hydraulic...

There was about 8 inches of heavy wet snow this AM and it even started raining. I tried using my 2 stage Ariens walk behind blower on a concrete pad close to the house but it was absolutely useless in this snow. Didn't know if the Pronovost Puma 3 point blower would work to clear the...

Finally put my front snow blade together and got my Puma snowblower delivered at 0700 this morning. I got lucky with the PTO shaft in that the length was fine and no cutting was needed. Put connectors on the hydraulic chute rotator cylinder and got the hoses ordered.

Have to put some hours on it to get used to it if the rain stops since it's a bit different from a tractor. It was kind of interesting trying to drive it down the ramps off the truck. LOL

I'm probably going to end up giving my L3901 with BH77 to my brother since his old tractor isn't running. I used the BH77 mainly for digging up pine stumps. Since I need a replacement for the BH for stump digging, I'm thinking of a KX71 or KX91. I'd want to store the excavator in my shop...

I was looking at the owner's manual maintenance table and it show that the hydraulic filter along with the HST filter has to be changed at 50 hours. The work shop manual's maintenance chart only requires the HST filter change. On my L3901 only the HST filter change was needed at 50 hours...

Got a new MX5800 which had less than 2 hours and also got a new wood chipper. I think the manual states not to run full throttle for 50 hours so does that mean not to use the PTO until after 50 hours?

If I get a CD version of a Kubota WSM, can you easily print out a paper copy? I prefer to have a paper copy in front of me on the bench when doing any mechanical work. Thanks.

I checked the pressure off one of the FEL connectors and it was 1800 PSI at 2500 RPM. That seems kind of low. Anyone know what the pressure is supposed to be and how to adjust it?

Does anyone know the filter numbers for the MX5800. This info seems to be available for the other MX series tractors though.

They had the CUTs lined up according to size and gives an idea of the size differences. To the left are two L3901s, then a L4701, big M7060 cab in the front, then a Grand L cab, and a MX5800 next to the yellow track loader. Decided on the MX5800. The M6060/7060 are too big for my uses. The...

Is there a readily available chart showing the correct hydraulic pressure for different Kubota models?

Which quick disconnect should the pressure gauge go on on the FEL valve? I think there are 4 of them. Here's a not so great photo showing 3 of the hoses. The 4th one is hidden by the nylon hose cover to the left of the bottom quick disconnect in the photo.

Attached it to my L3901 so I could move it around but didn't cut the PTO shaft to install it. Will probably wait until I get my bigger tractor and fit the PTO shaft to it. Boy, this chipper is pretty heavy and was glad I had lift gate service and a 3 point pallet fork to move it from the truck...

If your wheels are adjustable to increase or decrease the track, if you set it for maximum track width for stability, would it increase the stress on axle components and increase the chance of parts failure?

The MX5800 has an option for draft control. Would that be useful in any way in a non farming situation like maintaining a gravel driveway?

I don't usually get loans to buy stuff but I think with the 0% deal now, it might be better not to use my savings and get it financed. So what kind of info would I have to take to the Kubota dealer to do the loan paperwork and do they have a payment method where they can just take the payments...

Is a 12 speed always the way to go instead of an 8 speed? I have a L3901 HST for work on about 11 forested acres. I've never used anything but low range for moving logs and brush with a grapple, moving dirt/gravel, clearing snow, and using a land plane on my gravel driveway. I've never had it...

with R4 tires? Looks like you can adjust the wheels with the standard wheels for the R1 tires but is it the same for the wheels for the R4 tires?

I'm looking at getting one of these but need to know how tall the tractor is with R4 tires which are shorter than the R1 tires which are used to give the height specs. My garage door height is 96" and the M tractors are about 97" with the R1 tires according to the Kubota website. The R4 tires...
