Re: Can't find rear worklight wires for Kubota M tractor--picture The wiring on my MX5800 is different. There are two wires hanging down under the right fender, an orange one with a female connector and a black (hidden by the orange in the pic) with a male connector. The manual illustration...

The power grid in my area is unreliable and outages are frequent. I bought a small 2KW gas powered generator many years ago which is sufficient to run the furnace, fridge, TV and a few lights. It isn't large enough for the oven, stove, well pump, septic pump, freezers or A/C. Thankfully, most...

I've been mowing an 8 acre field next to the house for many years. Its former pasture land and a bit rough in spots. I'm not that fussy about how it looks but I try and keep it as neat as I can. Previously, I had been using a Befco C30 RD6 with medium lift blades behind my L3430 which did a...

You could try using your motorcycle lift to remove the hoe but I'm not sure why you would want to. When lowered to the floor, the lift does not appear to be moveable and will stay in one position. You also can't use the lift for anything else. As coldsteelva suggests, why not use the...

Quite a project and very nice work! Had I seen this earlier, I probably would have used some of your ideas for my project. In my case, I had a single hyd. outlet on my L3430. I needed 2 more outlets for my York Rake so I added 2 Kubota OEM QR ports ($400) I used a Prince Wolverine 2...

Posts on Fuel problems are common on the site but I've found little associated with regen tractors. I'm on my 5th Kubota now since 1979 and have been using #2 fuel oil (home heating oil) in all of them for off road purposes. The manuals for the first four tractors say to use diesel fuel. The...

I just finished my second regen on my MX5800. The first one occurred at exactly 30.0 hours and the second at 60.0 hours. The owners manual led me to believe that the regen cycle was dependent on sensors in the particulate filter and exhaust system, not hours. Is this just a coincidence? Has...

An update on the MX5800 top & tilt kit problem: As expected, the dealer replaced the damaged tilt cylinder at no charge. They installed a 90 degree fitting in the cylinder port which only partially fixed the issue. The 90 degree fitting still hits the bottom hydraulic outlet port when the 3...

The maintenance schedule in the manual states engine oil & filter changes should occur after the first 50 hours and then every 400 hours after that! 400 hours between oil changes? I put around 200 hrs. per year on a tractor. Does that mean I change the oil every 2 years? I thought it must be...

I just traded my L3430 HST and BH90 backhoe for a new MX5800 HST with BH92 hoe. I had the dealer add 3 OEM hydraulic outlet ports and an OEM top & tilt kit. Since the tractor was delivered with the BH92 hoe attached, I installed the 3 point hitch and top & tilt kit myself after removing the...

Shortly after doing the 700 hour tractor maintenance, I noticed a minor but annoying oil leak at the wheel pivot point on the left front gear case. The tractor had recently been used for extended periods during hot weather. The exhaust is also on that side which just increases the temperature...

I recently began mowing additional acreage with my Befco C50 RD6 3pt hitch mower. To reduce the time I spend on the tractor, I'm looking to replace the Befco with a bigger mower. I would like to get a Befco C70-090H but my local Kubota dealer no longer carries Befco. He is trying to sell me a...
