    MX5200 loader capacity?

    2018 Kubota Mx5200 HST with 87 hours. Over the past few days I put some serious use on the loader for the first time. I moved about 30 tons of clean dirt that had been sitting in a pile for about 3 years. I also moved about 20 tons of crush and run gravel that had been sitting for over a year...

    ROPS collision

    2018 MX5200 purchased new. Made it all of 85 hours before I ran into a barn header board today with the ROPS. Looks like it bent back a little. I couldn't find any cracked welds or metal. Should I be worried? Feel like a dumbass.

    Skid plate for MX5200

    I'm thinking about mounting a sheet of diamond plate straight across the bottom edge of the loader support arms from side to side, following the contour of the supports. Seems simple and effective enough. If I drill and tap small holes for mounting screws will I compromise the structural...

    Pallet fork lengths

    Titan sells two bale spear/pallet fork combo attachments, one with 36" forks and the other with 42" forks for about $30 more. Is the extra 6" worth it or will the 36" forks handle just about anything?

    Planting grass seed in a pasture

    So my question isn't exactly about hay but I figure all you hay experts know a thing or two about planting grass in a pasture. I have about 4 acres which have been completely decimated by horses. The pasture is flat, clay rich soil which holds water and takes a long time to dry out, even in...

    Greasing the joints

    Mx5200 4x4 HST with 22 hours. I decided to go ahead and grease the axle points since I use it in very wet/muddy conditions. I applied grease to the front axle gear case support. It got harder with each pump. I figured it was filling the void and building pressure against the old grease. I was...

    Source for cheap used loader attachments

    I need a SSQA bale spear and pallet forks. I don't care what they look like as long as they're functional. Does anyone have suggestions for finding cheap, used attachments? I'm in southwest ohio.

    MX series auxiliary light circuit

    My MX has provisions for lights under each rear fender. I've read this is a 5 amp max circuit in another thread. If that's correct does that mean a combined 5 amp max between the two or 5 amps per side? And correct me if I'm wrong but does 5 amps mean a total of 60 watts?

    School me on diesel fuel

    Just bought a new Kubota, delivered last week. It's my first experience with a diesel engine...ever. Please educate me. Do I have to worry about the diesel breaking down and going bad like in all my small gas engines? I've read about gelling in the winter. What's the best additive for this? Do...

    Barrel ballast top link question

    I've read as many barrel ballast threads as I could find on TBN but I couldn't find an answer to my question concerning the top link mount location. Does is matter how high/low, fore or aft the top mount is located in relation to the lift arm mounts as long as the top link doesn't contact the...
