Except its not an L
Ok, of course..but it is an Overgrown Standard L. you will have to admit its systems are closer to a standard L than anything else just bigger.

Yeah, looking at the specs, it is between the standard L and old L30, close to L30, I had a L5030 and looked at the MX, the M often confuses people into thinking it is in the same class at the M utility tractors.

Yea, its pretty standard. I think the gauge clusters would probably interchange. Its kinda nice that its all familiar.
But I loved the Grand L seats that I sat on at the dealer. Man those were nice

Everthing about a Grand L is nice. Thats why they are "Grand"
BTW how is the 3pt hitch on the MX5100. Is it fairly smooth going up in small increments?

Hitch is perfect. Dont think it would be possible to make one any smoother

I really need to look into getting some remotes set up. Got a line on a landpride RB3596 with hydraulic angle I might be able to get for a nice deal. Same guy I mowed for yesterday and have been mowing for over the last 3 years. Bought/traded services for a 12" PHD last year. My charge for services was $200, made an even trade.
And I've been wanting a toplink and sidelink hydraulics too.

I would think hard about getting one OEM remote and making the rest electric/hydraulic units. I can point you to some valves at a pretty reasonable price.. I think you would be money ahead and could have up to 4 total. It is what I plan to do someday, when I strike it rich. Of course I have the OEM original remote and I use it now for my grapple, but maybe someday I will get TNT. I can tell you this, if you do much dirt work you want it. I don't do a lot but what little I have done, I was wanting it. With this set up you just have one control lever and a switch to switch to the other ports.

I agree with James on this one.... I got 3 factory remotes but if I had an open station this would be my setup...
Here's one main reason.... My sidelink has slight leak down.. Cylinder/valve who knows... Not enough to do anything about it... BUT it's annoying with my 8' twin spindle given the weight. Still may rig up some check chains regardless since it will make returning to mow height very easy. My property has lots of rock so I'm constantly lifting the cutter over unknown areas.
Seeing that you're trailering often, do you subscribe to the rag in the exhaust given the turbo theory? I'm on the fence.
