    Bypassing seat safety switch on 2021 MX6000

    I can't see the ends of my pallet forks when seated on the tractor and, after scratching the concrete pad the other day, I really need to be able to stand and move the machine forward and back. I have looked around fairly carefully but can't find any seat pics online that look exactly like my...

    MX 6000 Ballast, Multi Seal and spacer questions.

    MX 6000 with R14s (tubeless). Over winter I want to add spacers as well as ballast and MultiSeal for liquid ballast tires (and regular MultiSeal in fronts). My questions are: 1. Which ballast? I looked into Rimgard beet juice but there are no dealers anywhere around me that offer mobile...

    MX 6000 50 hour service

    I started the 50 hour service on my MX 6000 today. Engine oil wasn't real dark but didn't look new either. Going to dissect the old oil filter tomorrow to check for any metal shavings. Didn't use any oil at all from dipstick checks. Decided to change out all the hydraulic fluid instead of just...

    R14s - Closer to R1s or R4s in the field?

    As in title. My MX6000 was shipped with R4s (which I do not want, having had them on a prior Grand L - R1s are on the order sheet); the dealer is offering either R1s or R14s. I rarely take the tractors onto lawn areas, but when I do the L4300 with R1s makes pretty impressive ruts. I need to...

    Oils and lubricants.

    I tried to search but didn't come up with anything. I have an MX6000 coming in "soon" - what is everyone using for engine oil? Synthetic? My Ventrac has a Kubota Diesel engine and that machine calls for Synthetic 10W-30 both in the manual and on the hood sticker. I've always used Rotella 15W-40...

    MX5400 or MX6000?

    I've looked fairly carefully online; the printed specs on these machines are identical other than HP ratings as far as I can tell. Does anyone know for sure if the difference is only in the software or is there any mechanical difference between the machines (larger turbos, etc)? I'm thinking of...
