If you guys want to see a kick butt parking brake warning light mod for a Kubota, check out the video from the Kubota master himself, Paul (4shorts).

My bad, I was thinking of his 4X4 indicator light mod. He used a mechanical switch on the mechanical linkage for that one.

Ok this thread had me concerned about my MX5100 gear model. So today I had to move some firewood on the carryall on the 3pt hitch. I checked the lift unloaded - smooth up and down. Then I loaded the carryall full - smooth up and down and could feather the lift without jerkiness. Still concerned so I checked the MX5700 and the MF 135 as a comparison - there was a noticeable difference but not a big difference.

It appears mine is not a jerky lift. Hearing that some are so jerky that the front wheels lift off the ground is disappointing, I thought Kubota would be better than that.
