hi folks, I do quite a bit of brush hogging with my MX5800. Result is a lot of weed dust accumulates on the tractor. I use a power sprayer to clean off the tractor. Would like to clean off the engine. I spray off my truck engine at the car wash, being cautious not to spray direct on distributor...

last week my dealer sent a mechanic out for my tractor's initial 50 hr service. The young man was knowledgeable and professional. However he raised the fel up all the way in order to service. Made me nervous to watch. Does make it easier to access stuff. Since i will be doing the servicing from...

do any of you have a mirror(s) on your tractor? I think it would save me a lot of turning my old bones around to look. I have an mx5800 with an oem canopy. Looking for suggestions. Thanks

really appreciate this forum and all you folks on it. I have an MX5800 I purchased new last summer. My previous tractor was a 50+ yr old gas jd. I always throttled that tractor down when shutting it down because it backfired if I didnt. Should I be throttling down prior to shut down or does it...

Have had the tractor a little over a month now. Has about 25 hr on it. I couldn't be happier. Coming off a 60 yr old jd. I have pretty tough bush hogging and it handles the 6 ft mower effotlessly. Never had a fel before and i have found countless things to do with that gadget. I had a...

took delivery of my MX5800 this week. Loving it, but have a question. On my old jd when you mashed one of the turning brakes you could lock up that wheel and spin it around. This one slows it and allows a tighter turn, but doesnt lock that wheel. Normal?775

took delivery of my new MX5800 this week and love it, but have a question. On my old jd when I stomped on one of the turning brakes it flat locked that wheel up. Not so with this one. It slows that wheel and does allow a tighter radius, but wont lock it up. Normal?
