I did a quick search on this issue and nothing came up. The Kubota 3rd function on my M7060 seems to stick on my grapple when fully closed or fully opened. You can hear the hydraulic pressure tone difference with it still on until you tap the function switch on the loader handle. I've had...

There was some interest in this setup. The outside width is about 84". HP

I have noticed that many owners with cabs leave the plastic on their seats. Admittedly I did the same thing for about a year, but I was on the lookout for a suitable (read durable) cover which was fairly difficult to find. The difficulty was that most were designed to accommodate the highback...

I thought I'd post that I had my first regen over the weekend at 32.2 hrs. I've used my tractor almost exclusively for Bush hogging so rpms have been up over 2k. By my estimation I use it for about 95% cutting. Incidentally, I was using the E-540 function when the regen occurred so I was at...

I had my Woodmax 8600 backhoe hooked up to the L3540. It weighs about 1,000 lbs. While it was mounted I dug out 5 medium to small stumps and various large rocks. I dismounted the backhoe this past weekend and this is what the toplink pin looked like - Thankfully it's an inexpensive part to...

Pics are proof! Took delivery on Friday. Only 2.7 hours now. Make sure you check behind the dealer on prep! A few dry zerks on the loader!:eek: Also, watch how it's delivered. I read up on the BH 12' Batwing and it explicitly says don't use a hitch pin with cotter to connect. Guess how...

I'm doing some research for the inevitable blade replacement on my Bush Hog. The owners manual calls for 600 ft/lbs of torque on the blade bolts and 450 ft/lbs on the blade holder pan. I'm not sure how to get that amount of torque with any tools I've researched. I don't really want to spring...

I'm getting ready to take delivery on a new M7060. I plan to use the tractor to pull a 12' batwing Bush Hog. The manual for the Bush Hog states there should be a minimum of 60" between the rear tires. I didn't measure the stock width as I was looking over the tractor before purchase. Can...

I recently purchased a M7060 after having run a 6 foot 3pt BushHog behind an MX5100 for the last 5 years. The dealer said he wouldn't recommend anything bigger than an 8 foot pull type behind the M7060. That doesn't sound right to me - I'm thinking up to 12 foot batwing. Maybe something like...

I posted this on the Customization section but really didn't get much of a response.... Posting here hoping for more success. I'm working on converting my 3pt hitch backhoe to a subframe mounted hoe. I have an L3540 and found a subframe kit on ebay that fits this tractor. The subframe I have...

Hi all, I'm working on converting my 3pt hitch backhoe to a subframe mounted hoe. I have an L3540 and found a subframe kit on ebay that fits this tractor. The subframe I have is made for a BH77 so I am unsure whether it is compatible with the BH92. I don't want to make a custom backhoe...

I also posted this over on Orange tractor - I'm looking for photos of a Grand L3540 / LA724 loader with the Kubota Backhoe subframe mounted. I have a project of converting my 3pt hitch backhoe to a subframe mounted unit. I bought a BH4996 subframe kit off of eBay. Kubota calls for the BH4996A...

I had my pole barn put up in Western VA this past week by CHA Pole barns LLC out of Pennsylvania. I bought a PB kit from DIY Pole barns which worked out pretty well. I'm pleased with how everything went. I'll cover a few details in this thread along with posting the pictures of the progress...

On this picture, are the holes circled in yellow used for the Kubota frame mounted backhoes? This is at the base of the ROPS on both sides.

I recently purchased this backhoe and received it about 3 weeks ago. The price included free liftgate delivery to my home address and it was delivered quickly and in good shape. I ordered it with the optional hydraulic thumb. It was well packed on a pallet and wrapped in cellophane. All...

Here's a few examples: 2520 2008 Tractor Deere 200CX John Compact http://charlotte.craigslist.org/grq/4103707356.html $4253 for a 2007 M7040 :eek::p Update: Both are already flagged for removal. These are ridiculous examples of scammers attempting to take advantage of the uninitiated. They...

I use my box blade for a good bit of dirt work and I always thought it was a hassle to have to adjust the side link on the 3pt to get the angle I wanted so I've been looking at a hydraulic side link to make chore a bit easier. I have a single rear remote already. After reading posts on this...

I called WildKat a few days ago and told them I was interested in a 48" grapple, but I was concerned about what some on this site had posted about the 1/8" steel 4x4 top tube issue. She asked me to send pictures of what had been posted and I did. I only live about 40 miles from their...

I have a gear MX5100 and when Bush Hogging I leave the hand throttle lever set at around 2200 to 2500 rpm and in LOW/3rd or 4th gear to mow. I don't throttle back to change between forward and reverse, just push the clutch in and change the syncro-shuttle forward/reverse. The tractor operates...

I bought a new plow this weekend. I searched around for an older one, but didn't have much luck finding a deal and overcoming my concern about finding parts for the ones I did find so I bit the bullet and purchased new instead. I purchased directly from them in East Bend, NC, near Winston Salem...

As most know, the MX4700/5100 doesn't come with a rubberized floor mat so I decided to add one before all the paint was worn off the steel deck. This is a 3'x4' stall mat which can be purchased from TSC for about $20. It took me a couple of hours to cut this down with a razor knife. I used...

I stopped in to WildKat Attachments in Denton, NC to take a look at all the grapples they had on the lot...and there were MANY grapples. They also sell other attachments. I don't have a 3rd function yet to operate a grapple, but I did want a few other things. I settled on a Stump Bucket and a...

I recently bought a used Cat I QH which came with a set of adapter bushings but no rolled steel pins. I figured it would be easy to find pins at TSC, but they don't have any that big. other than the ones that come with a new set. I believe I can find the correct size at McMaster-Carr, I just...

Well I have all of 3 hours on my machine in one weekend and managed to hit something on the cover that is suppose to protect the tie rod/power steering rod. Put a nice dent in it which proceeded to tear the dust boot. I don't even know what I hit but I was in the woods pushing some sizable...

My new MX5100 is category 1 and 2 rated. The three point hitch has category 2 mounting links in the lower arms, but the top link swedge tube has a category 1 mounting hole. I have three bushings in the small tool box to fit up Cat 1 implements so I believe the dealer just put the wrong top...

I just purchased a left over 2010 MX5100 with Goodyear Titan R-1's. Both front tires have many small micro cracks in the rubber near the tread cleat bases. The rears look fine. I just picked up the tractor today and also noticed a rear axle seal leak. I'm going to go to a closer dealer to...

Hello all, I'm trying to find the right tractor to maintain 25 acres of pasture & woods so I thought I'd join up and do some research. I'll need it to do some bush hogging, loader work, eventually box scrape a gravel drive and backhoe/loader work to build a culvert bridge along with other...
