    Very pleased

    Congratulations on your purchase! I have been impressed with my MX5400, it was a huge upgrade from my Ford 860. When going over your tractor make sure to check the oil level in the front axle, very common for it to be low upon delivery.

    Using the drawbar to pull a trailer

    I think the main concern with pulling a trailer with the 3pt is the possibility of the trailer tongue lifting the 3pt if there isn’t enough weight on the front of the trailer. With that said I have used my 3pt to pull my trailer full of firewood many times without issues.

    L Series or M Series?

    I was in a similar situation when I bought MX5400. My previous tractors were all 2wd without loaders. Without a loader all lifting was done off the 3 pt which put weight on the rear tires and gave lots of traction. The individual brakes were used for steering when the front end got light. 2wd...

    Inflate rear tire with glycol

    The dealer filled the rears on my MX5400 with beet juice. Last fall I tried to check the tire pressure and both the valves were stuck, I couldn’t get a pressure reading or add air. I tried different ways to clear the valves without any luck. With the tires off the ground and the valve at 12:00 I...

    Need some help buying an M59 tlb

    I second what rc51 said, he gave some good advice. If you are new to tractor's in general I would go so far as even paying someone experienced with a tlb to go check it with you. Years ago I paid a tractor mechanic to ride along in a similar situation, it was amazing the things he pointed out...

    Fixing hole in side of block

    Well said. Kudos to the folks that give constructive criticism with the intent to let Joe know that what he’s doing may not work out or there may be something he is missing. However I just shake my head when I read posts from folks that are basically just cutting Joe down without giving any real...

    Everything on Everything Attachments

    I personally think it to be foolish to order from a company with the thought that who cares if I get screwed the CC company will take care of it. There are plenty of other companies out there that make top notch equipment and do not have a history of screwing over their customers.

    Everything on Everything Attachments

    Main thing is making things right with the customers who were never refunded the money they paid for products that weren’t delivered.

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    I would like a tractor with more lift capacity however a larger frame tractor would not fit my needs as far as storage and getting through some of my woods. With that said I would buy another Mx5400.

    Are these hydraulic fittings interchangeable?

    Is the shape of the valve in the female fitting the same for both ball and poppet male ends?

    Are these hydraulic fittings interchangeable?

    Good to hear, I’ll use the male fittings that came on the mower. Why do you prefer the poppet style?

    Are these hydraulic fittings interchangeable?

    Can someone tell me if these 2 male hydraulic fittings are interchangeable? My MX5400 rear remotes have Pioneer couplers. The male fitting is a Pioneer 8010-4 1/2-14 NPTF as seen on the left of the photo. The male fitting that came on the hydraulic hose of my Del Morino flail mower is a...
