    Buying a FEL for an MX5000

    I'm looking at buying a front end loader for my MX5000 sometime in the spring. The local yokal Kubota dealer told me it would be 4700 for a FEL plus 360 for the hay spike. I seem to remember them being less expensive then that when I was buying the tractor. Also, I have heard that bush hog...

    Rotary Cutter  Leaky seal in bush hog squealer

    Well, I have been using it pretty hard lately and my bush hog is leaking out of the bottom seal now. What is a fair price to expect to pay a shop to change it? I have installed gears in cars before, would this be something I could possibly do myself or is there a bunch of special equipment...

    brake chatter (squeal)

    Since I changed my fluid I have had horrible brake chatter when doing pedal turns. The fluid is to the correct level according to the sight glass. I did not use kubota fluid, I used a local brand. My question is should I add anti slip additive like I would for changing a posi traction rear...

    Row spacing with MX5000

    I have a MX5000 and I was trying to use it to make raised bed rows for my garden. I have an old 2 bottom ford plow which I used to turn the land, then a 5 ft rotary tiller that I tilled it up with. I tried to make rows with this middle buster that I had and it is basically worthless from what...

    1st service - Fluid recommendations

    Ok, I bought 1 gal of UDT from the kubota store and almost had to get a small business loan for that. I can only imagine what 11.5 gallons will cost. Who has a recommendation for something that is good quality, but not out of control expensive? I have seen the fluids at wal marts, and have...
