- Kubota MX5800 HST & L6060 HSTC Formerly L6060 HST B7100 HST, L2550, L3010 HST, L3430 HST
If you own an L or MX series Kubota and LAxxx Loader, here is a simple, easy tool tray project requiring 4 parts all available at Home Depot. The tray will also fit many other Kubota loader mounts with a cross tube inside diameter of 4 7/16". It took about 2 hours to make a pair of these for my MX5800 (excluding paint) and cost around $20. The Home Depot part information is shown in Pic 1. Depending on the individual tractor, some sanding of the end caps may be necessary. Check the fit before gluing the caps to the pipe (pic 4). I had to sand the caps for the right tray but the left one fit like a glove. An easy way to do this is shown in Pics 2 & 3. Check the depth of the cross tube before cutting the drain pipe. The length necessary for the MX5800 is 14 1/2"
Each tray for the MX5800 holds 183 cu in. which is actually larger than Kubota's plastic step mount tool box. It also seals tightly like a bottle cork and keeps out dust & dirt. I use mine to carry chain saw fuel, chain oil, spare parts and an extra 1 liter water bottle. Next I'll have to make up a mount to carry the saw. Some neat ideas were shown recently in another post.
