Hi All Got a new Changfa a couple of days back and whilst doing some light grass slashing, hydraulics failed on the bucket as I was lifting it to see ahead of my track. I noticed a funny smell, stopped, looked on the ground and saw a pool of green/yellow liquid forming underneath. After a...

Just wondering if anyone has done any light digging with their tractor without ill effect? I have a driveway a few hundred meters long with some slippage on the banks next to the road. It looks loose enough to me but being a newbie, I'm not sure if this is something a bucket could hande. I'll...

I've been given a couple of different opinions from 2 different dealers as to whether I should fill my industrial tyres with water. One dealer says never fill tyres on a tractor with Hydrostatic transmission, the other says "it shows he doesn't know what he's talking about, we always fill them...

I was offered industrial tyres off another model to fit on a new MX5100 but I was told that the rims go from 28inches on the Ags to 24inches on the industrials. Would this affect me, and in what way? One argument is that the CG is lower - should be a good thing for a novice like me - on the...

Hi All Am considering a Kioti (after almost going with a Kabota) and asked a related question in another thread. One member said I should compare reliability with Kioti and Kabota. Anyone had any experience with both or a general knowledge of their comparative reliability?

Hi All I've been looking at the Kubota MX5100 as my choice and have been offered a good price... But then I went into a Kioti Dealer and had a look at a couple of their models and I can virtually get a Cab model, with more HP for the same price. What am I missing here? It seems Kioti has a...

This was done a couple of years back but things have changed since then. The MX5100 now comes with a Hydrostatic option and 2 or 4wd select. Does the L4400 have any advantages over the MX5100? The price is so close, I'm wondering what the catch is? This is my first tractor and it would be...

Hi All, I'm a first time buyer and have been discussing various model Kubota's in that forum but someone suggested I post here for advice on whether I should go for a 4in1 or grapple. I have about 25 acres, some will be slashed and the rest has trees and rocks, which I'll use for walls...

Hi All I've read quite a few posts but would still like some input/advice. We've just bought a 25 acre block, with about 15 cleared acres, mostly gently rolling or level, which I've had slashed a couple of times by a 115hp machine. We want to get it to a point where we can seed it with grass...
