I recently posted about having trouble accessing attachment of the PTO shaft to a MX5400. It is a real tight fit between the implement, tires, and PTO Shaft. It is difficult to attach the PTO Shaft with the closeness of the VS220 spreader and limited room. A fellow OTT member posted using a...

Last year I had a buddy use a Vicon spreader to help me with my deer food plots. I was amazed at the accuracy in which the spreader seeded a field that was 1/2 oats and 1/2 clover. It was essentially a straight line of between the two seed sources. So I knew I wanted to get one in the...

Ever have one of those days🙄….I picked up a ton of pelletized lime on a pallet today at the Farmers Coop. Yippee!!!! It was a cool day, I had time off, and I’m getting ready for deer season. Cleared a spot on my 20’ Utility trailer ahead of time to store the lime until I break ground. I...

Finally got caught up with playing on my tractor and got down to seeing how the LP QH15 would do with a scraper blade and $19.99 Ag Supply adapter. i installed lower link adapters and the Ag Supply forked upper link adapter on the blade scraper. I removed the top link hook off the QH15, i...

Getting old has its benefits and it’s drawbacks. Being wiser is one of the benefits, having one’s body not cooperate is another. I found a new Kubota step on EBay and looked at aftermarket grab bars (which seem to be non-existant for MX tractors) , So I took a chance on the Kubota step, and a...

This past weekend I was doing various "therapy" chores with the new tractor... loading #1 rock, smoothing out water diverter in a woods road, using the bucket to float/level a dozer slash pile. After operating the tractor for a couple hours, I was bush hogging a grass field in high speed/1...

Here are my initial thoughts after two weeks of use on my new MX5400 after years of tractor therapy with a MF 245. I am primarily using the MX as a woods tractor and bush hogging clover food plots and between rows of planted longleaf pine and hardwoods on 115 acres in the Alabama blackbelt. 1)...

I installed a Great Day “tool” Mount below my canopy today. I have a feral hog problem and inevitably when I am without a rifle I see one. I bought the tool rack off A and had to scrounge and drill two back plates for the ROP clamps. I mounted the clamps backwards and it fit perfectly. It is...

I have a new 66 GRG JBar double claw grapple. I noticed the extended piston end to the top claws has a lot of slop in the claws. I installed two (BAW) washers on the inside of the pin (on each inner side of the piston pivot) and one on the outside of the pivot grapple...It could take another so...

New guy here with a few questions about 1065 FEL and JBar grapple. I have a brand new MX with 1065 and a JBar Grapple which I am wanting to play with, but have a major hydraulic leak coming from either the third function valve or a bad hose connection. (PIC #1 of BAT) The tractor sits parked...

I am purchasing a new MX5400 with 1065 loader. I have mobility limitations and will probably be doing a modification to add or lower the tractor step. Searching the internet, there are left-side grab handles for other Kubotas (B-series) from Salty Mike's Custom, and Ken's for JD.... A grab...

Greetings all, I am a n:rolleyes::rolleyes:bie to theOrange Tractor Talk site. I will be taking delivery of a MX5400DT later this month... My tried and true MF 245 still rocks! The MF will still be used to do harrowing and woodsy brush cutting. I own 115 acres of a mixed hardwood/longleaf pine...
