New MX5400

[sea2summit]

I haven't seen a Kubota Mx in the wild, but it looks like a of lot good features for the money - except for that #$%^ turnbuckle 3pt stabilizer. (and Mickey Mouse treadle)

turnbuckle stabilizer? I must have the old one with pins.

Gear drive on mine, so no treadle, thank God; and no turn buckle either, but my L3301 has one though...

I saw the turnbuckle thing on this video (2:42). They must have upgraded to adjustable/pin type stabilizers. I've never understood why any new tractor would still have turnbuckle stabilizers. The square tubing for pin type can't cost more than $20 more.

I think the 4800 is a "utility" model. It very well may have the turnbuckles.

What kind of issues were you having with your HST I have an issue the tractor looses power once in a while when the pto is on and you move forward

Mine kept leaking hydraulic oil from the split pin plug at the bottom of the clutch housing. I had the tractor split to fix it. They said a seal had blown out. The fix didn't last very long and it started leaking again. Never a lot at a time but I think the oil was starting to affect the clutch. Tractor seemed to whine more and wasn't able to go up hills as easy at it used to.

So what are you going to do about it leaking again? Is the work they did under warr.??

Got down to the farm today, been too bloody wet to do anything. Played with the stump grinder a while.
