This is not an issue. I owned a TC33D for 22 years with over 2500 hours of use, did countless oil changes myself and never had a problem as described in the OP.
I have run a MX5800 HST with a Land Pride RCF2084 cutter for years. The cutter is very heavy but the MX5800 powers it nicely. Mowing fields, cleaning out underbrush along fence lines are primary tasks. Not so good along ditches as it is very heavy. Personally, I would stay away from Land...
In the auto industry, the form is called "Agreement to Provide Insurance" and is required with every finance/lease contract on every car sold, new or used if financing is involved. KCC is just doing the tighten up on their forms. Probably got stuck in a lawsuit by an unscrupulous customer and...
I would recommend NOT purchasing any Land Pride equipment. I made the mistake of purchasing a RCF2084 and used it behind my MX5800. The cutter side walls bent inward to the point the blades were hitting the sides of the cutter deck. This happened while cutting ditches. When I contacted...
My MX5800 came with a MILSCO XB200 as the OEM seat. After 8 years, the foam cushion separated from the plastic shell. I replaced it with the same MILSCO XB200 seat purchased on Ebay for $145+ tax with free shipping. This is the second time I've purchased the MILSCO XB200 -- had to...
Land will ALWAYS seem expensive on the day of purchase and "dirt cheap" years later. Forget the 401K & IRA, land is the best long term investment a person can make.
We had the same issue on our 2015 F-250 with our previous gooseneck trailer. When we replaced the trailer with a new model, the issue went away. That would suggest the issue is with the trailer plug, not the truck. Older plug on the previous trailer was not making good contact with the...
Consider the Kubota RTV-X900. Even though it has an open cab, adding a windshield will help a lot. Many advantages:
Diesel engine longevity
Hydrostatic transmission operates just like a tractor
Hydraulic dump bed
Good operator space
Good resale value
Perfect addition to any farm
I ran into this same issue buying T5. Local Napa dealer told me Shell is not manufacturing Rotella again until the end of January 2022. I finally found 6 gallons at Walmart and bought it all. Needed 13qts for the truck, plus will need oil for tractors and the RTV. Crazy world!
Wondering how the HDPE canopy from covermytractor.com is holding up? Have you snagged any tree limps yet? Is the color of the canopy holding up to the sun? Any info you can provide would be helpful.
We are on our second Kubota RTV. First one was stolen from the barn even being chained to a post. When we replaced it, we bought a used (275 hours) RTV-X900 that has been flawless for nearly three years working our cattle farm. We knew we didn't need speed, nor were we interested in running...
I have similar issues with my Kubota MX5800 HST. Accidently found the HST foot pedal was not disengaging a safety switch which allows the starter to engage. I have to wiggle the foot pedal forward/backward with my foot and keep trying the starter. Sooner or later, it catches and the engine...
I purchased the Cub Cadet XT2 rider with 50" deck after considerable shopping. Paid $3300 at the Cub Cadet dealership. Very pleased with the purchase. 14" turning radius goes around trees nicely. I also have hills and the XT2 goes up (and down) them very easily. Much less money the Cub...
