New MX5400 has arrived

[Jchonline]

Also lube all the zerks (or at least check for lube in the joint the zerk is serving) and you should probably check all hydraulic fittings to be sure they are screwed tight to tolerance. I had a few loose ones....

That is one nasty looking stump cutter on the rear!!!

I could not get the PDF to open, what was the price on that beautiful Kubota?

$37k w/ loader and remotes, then after 20% discount = ~30k. Then plus almost $2k more options (3rd function, loaded tires, etc)/

And it works better than it looks... Kinda like me I guess...

I went through all the grease fittings to verify tightness and greased. Will go through all the hydraulic fittings this weekend. Checked fluids

Ha! Good one.

Better to feel good than look good.

tradosaurus - that's a FINE machine. Suggestion - check all those wheel lug nuts and the few big 'ol FEL to frame bolts. After 100 or so hours - I retorqued and put Blue Loktite on all wheel lug nuts and FEL bolts. Seven years now and not a single loose nut or bolt.

You know - a new tractor REALLY DOES smell good. That ear to ear smile will go away in about a week or so.

Waxed and ready to get dirty.

I was fortunate that the MX5400 was already on the lot. Dealer had to order the remotes, 3rd function and install which took about a month from ordering.

I'm attaching the build sheet with additional options not listed in the Kubota build site.

Used Equine discount (20%) and my ag exemption. Couldn't use Kubota financing with Equine discount so went with Ag Direct financing which the Kubota dealer was able to set up.

Good deal! I purchased a New Holland WorkMaster 50 back in 2016. Similar to your Kubota (gear transmission instead of hydrostatic). Been well pleased so far. (Attacked screen print of your purchase for those that can't open. Lot of valuable information for those that may be looking for a new tractor.)
