I bought an MX5200 earlier this year with backhoe and FEL to handle a similar 50 acres. The 50 acres are a lot of hills and woods. Cut a lot of trails as well and maintain the land. Bought a LaneShark as well to brush hog and maintain trails, love this attachment. Box blade to grade and...

Seems that the plumbing issue Lugbolt pointed out was the issue. It was a pressure issue the way it was plumbed. The tractor is back and replumbed, I did not get a chance to get pictures. However, ran the backhoe for 20 minutes digging and not a drop of hydraulic leak. Also LaneShark is...

LaneShark is fantastic, 110% satisfied. It was able to clear about 5 miles of trails and did it cleanly and not throwing any material back at the operators station. Took about 6-7hrs as it was the first time using and I kept changing it from horizontal to vertical as needed. Brush hogging you...

Just an update, local dealer and Kubota has a discussion and looks like the hydraulic pressure is too high based on how they are plumbing the LaneShark in. Causing the o-rings and plastic caps on the backhoe hydraulics to leak. I told them about the article multiple times, they got a lot of...

I would add, use all the functionality as soon as possible to find any issues. I took delivery of an MX5400 with BH92 and Laneshark. The BH92 leaked badly, after 10-15 min of use with digging, not just moving it around in the air. 3 hydraulic valves are bad which they are replacing the...

I will have to look again, the pic I thought was clear where the lines ran but is not. The dealer has the tractor now, so I will look when they return it to me.

3ph is set to position 1 which is all the way down. Attached is a picture of how the LaneShark is plumbed and where on the MX. The PowerBeyond and Return Labeled lines are what are plumbed to the LaneShark.

Yes, the hydraulics were tapped for a lane shark, like a 3rd function valve. It is leaking there a bit too.

I have a new MX5400 with 20 hours on it. Just under 10hrs the BH92 was leaking hydraulic fluid while using it all over the operator platform of the backhoe in the area you place your feet. The bucket curl was very slow at the time as well, indicating to me a leak. The dealer picked it up and...

Lane Shark was 1/2 the price when I priced out both units.

Laneshark, I have one on my new MX5400 HST, works fantastic for what you are looking to do. Also will turn vertical to cut your fence rows, trails, etc... Does not need the extra tank on the 3pt hitch like the TrailBlazer. I considered both when I bought the lane shark. Also the Trail Blazer...

I just got an MX5400 and used it for the first time this weekend for about 8hrs loader and backhoe work. I looked at the L4701, but the price difference to bump up to MX5400 with the additional stability and weight, I am in hilly WV, it made more sense to have a bit more power and be able to...

in WV, 1000ft elevation.

MX5400 it is, now the pressure is on to finish the pole barn. Garage doors are the last piece and delivery is delayed they say due to Covid.... Thanks for all the input and thoughts.

I am working with 2 dealers right now, on in PA and one in WV and both are very willing to work a deal. One is family owned and the other has 6 different locations across multiple states. If I were to get that attitude, I agree I would end it quick and move to another dealer that wants your...

Ok, so the MX5200 at the place I test drove at is sold and he will do the MX5400 for $500 more. I have another dealer that has the MX5200 in stock and price is $500 cheaper. The only difference between the 2 is The MX5400 (45 min away) is $240 delivery other dealer with the MX5200 is throwing...

Well I drove the l4701 and MX5400 this weekend. They did not have an MX5200 at the lot. Hands down the mx is the way I will go. Discussing with the finance committee. Price is lowest of the 3 dealers I have asked to quote me.

The MX is $2k more as it stands, without working with the dealer or getting another quote. I think I can get them down another $2k-$3k based on the whole package he put together. But still researching so not really pushing the dealers yet for final pricing.

Did you install your own Lane Shark or did the dealer? I was curious other than installing the box to control on/off, did you have to do any additional hydraulic work with additional hoses above and beyond the 3rd function valve? I am not opposed to doing the work, but it is not clear if you...

This is an angle I was looking into as well Cat I vs Cat II implements and cost difference.
