Top and tilt is a must in order to get the most out of a box blade. You can do so much with the float valve on the side link and a nice long range top link cylinder. I absolutely love mine. Agristore usa has some good top links if you don't want to wait for months and pay a lot on the top link.

Dealers. They all suck around here. No stock on anything and high prices.

Messick's beat the hell out of my dealers prices

At Talladega Tractor in Talladega Alabama they have approximately three large tractors on their lot and one small tractor and about a half-dozen to a dozen mowers point is, their lot is nearly empty. They can't get any tractors on the lot to sell. It's been like that for several months now.

:rolleyes: really now. The rocker is the shiznit.

TLB doesn't allow for backhoe removal iirc. I don't even know if it has a pto. -i see there is a 3pt kit for it...i don't know now.

TLB won't mow, but the backhoe is the bees knees. I have an mx5200 and am thrilled with it every day. I love it.

Cabs are much more difficult to get in and around the wooded area than a simple rops tractor. That's the simple fact. Not sure how this isn't understood by simple silhouette or profile alone. My tractor would be much less useful to me if it had a cab. Should Intake some photographs of the wooded...

Is there any way around quick hitches when my mower is Land Pride cat 1 and my other implements are cat 2?

I built a ballast box but never use it. I'd rather have a useful implement on the back so it's usually a scraper or bb.

I relocated a 200 yo oak that fell late last year with four dump trailer loads to firewood storage. The only thing my tractor suffered was a stick through the grill.🙁 Look at that log on the right.

You can anchor your tractor down with a 6' blade if you wanted to, (in clay), an 8' with hydraulic offset is a very powerful tool behind my tractor. I would like to get shoes too. They would indeed come in handy. An 8' blade gets skinny real quick when set to an angle behind a tractor. This...

My mx5200 weighs in at 7300lbs in current form and I do daily dirt work at a large 2000 acre farm and 8' is the least I would want in a scraper. You can anchor your tractor down with as little as a 6 or 7' blade if you wanted to, but the length is needed when you angle your blade for dirt work...

Although it's a good idea, I barely have a place on my tractor for a toolbox and chainsaw, and that's after spending much time figuring out how and where there was space available. They just don't have a lot of room for add-ons on these tractors.

I wrote a review with less than 5 stars on one of their products and it does not show up on their website and if I try to write one again it says that they have already received my review. It isn't good for them to be culling the four star reviews of their products. Lol. They have 245 reviews...

I was obsessed at one point, with adding weight to my 7' 600lb box blade, from reading here on this forum. It would come in handy for bb operation occasionally, but I'd rather have it for the counterweight function. I rarely ever need more weight for bb function.

7' bb 8' scraper And my tractor is smaller than yours.

I run an 8' land pride on my mx5200. You'd better get a 9'. You won't be happy with any less.

Well, nevermind. A chain ratchet and some heat from the #2 tip was enough. I really didn’t think it would be.

Oxy/Acetylene. I've got plenty of experience heating and bending smaller steel, but this is a piece of 1" thick about 4" long in cross section and I can't put enough heat into it with a #2 cutting tip to get it glowing orange all the way around so I can bend it with a pipe wrench. Does anyone...

Use the metal diamond coated wheels. Cheaper and safer.

Here is a close up and a pan out view of the area: There was a pin hole in the rubber hose that was clamped to some device. What is this? It was a diesel fuel something rather.

**** yeah Great advice on the 8'. I wouldn't have been satisfied with any less and more would've been a little too much in the dirt. So I can definitely see where a gage wheel would be really sweet when finish passes are made, and even when digging ditches given the way the road bumps and...

Well it came in yesterday, it's still in a crate, and it actually looks really puny to me. They said they'll have it together tomorrow. I can't wait.

Why do you think that? Here is my reach just turning around, not even moving my but out of my seat; That looks plenty far to reach a handle mounted behind the top link hole.

Here is the manual diverter valve setup so my two rear remotes will move three cylinders. They said that I should be able to reach the handle from my seat.

So basically this thread has served to grow me out of buying this standard implement for $1250: And put me into a heavy duty 8' three cylinder heavy duty rbt4096 blade with a diverter valve. On monthly payments at zero interest.:rolleyes: Thanks for all the advice. I'll get the...

So I appreciate the feedback on size so far, but I'm still not sure 7' or 8'. Here is some other features of the ones I've been considering.

So my price quotes are almost in. All models with 3 hydraulic cylinders. Land Pride RBT4096 8' $4250 7' $3500 Rhino Ag 850 8' $3900 Land Shark 8' $3340 Bush Hog 91 series 8' still waiting. On the fence about 7' vs 8'. I know the 8' would be appreciated in many instances, but not sure if it...

I'll need to extend my covers that I have right now

So thanks to the suggestions itt, I decided one on the dash of the tractor and one on the implement would be helpful. I hope the one on the implement can last out in the sun. I have my doubts.

So I have a Kubota MX5200 with the rear tires on the widest recommended setting and I spent quite a while trying to decide on a 72", 78" or 84" box blade. I'm so glad that I ended up with an 84". Any smaller would have been a mistake. Now I'm making ditches and leveling/grading roads with my...

The slope doesn't show good in the photo, but it's too steep to drive a truck and trailer full of home materials up without some super traction tires. FIL's Ford 250 couldn't get a 45hp tractor on a trailer up this hill.

I just ordered one of these. Gonna mount it separately on the tractor and then I'm gonna get one of the big ones and mount it on the box blade. I've tried not using one, but there is just no way to figure it out when you're going up and down and making ditches and the road gets wide and...

I have a mountain, with twisty mountain roads going up and down and winding all around, 128 acres of land my wife bought. I'm wondering if mounting an oversized level like this; Would maybe help me figure out how to grade out all the roads for water run off. The roads aren't flat at all and...

So I've got a 160hrs on my mx5200 in the last 10 months, and I've never seen what I saw yesterday. I noticed while looking at the loader cylinders, it appears as though the plastic cap was left in place as the fitting was screwed into the cylinder. This looks to have happened on two ports, one...

I'm getting a ton of conflicting info from the threads that I've searched, the dealers that I've talked to, and my research. The threads and the dealers seem to suggest that I need L8304 & MX8452. I've had that quoted at $253+$244 for a total of $497 + shipping. The dealers could not tell me if...

Move logs without damaging them

Not yet. This is my ballast, you can use your imagination though.

So I've seen no shortage of high dollar expensive chainsaw scabbards. Here is my solution. I use my bike rack that fits into a 2" receiver, which also doubles as my weed wacker holder when I'm driving around or in my tractor, and I bolt on a piece of pressure treated lumber that I've made a bore...

At the very worst the common vernacular or colloquial usage of crusher run or crush and run is perfectly understandable and widely used. I've demonstrated that with several links. You said that you didn't understand what I was saying, which I think we both know was ********. Just type in a...

Looks like I'm good here: Home depot even sells it under that vernacular.

So here is what it looks like if it is driven on when it is wet; That is right above the culvert area.

So here is the road breakdown The brown area is where I have brought dirt and packed it up to fill gaps several times. I don't know what it is like underneath the dirt I have brought in except that it is low and water pools in it. The silver area is where the road is fine. The culvert #1...

We had a water problem and water was flowing down the drive when it rained. That has been taken care of with a culvert. Now we have pooling in the tire tracks. We can't even think of driving on it when it's wet because the tires will sink down badly and rut up deeply into the clay soil. What has...

I didn't pay attention to this when I bought mine, but yours has quite a bit more closing force than mine too. Like double. Mine is half the weight of yours though.

Tree clean up

I put 8 quarts in and it is at the top of the dipstick full level. My manual says it holds 10 quarts. I changed the filter also. This has to be a typo in the manual. What are your experiences with the 5200 or the 5800?

So I've been very happy with all aspects of this toplink setup but I just learned a lesson the hard way. I checked for interference but the hoses can still push the cylinder over enough that if it's mounted in the bottom hole on the tractor side and fully retracted, this can happen: The...

Ar400 steel also

So I got this thing installed and what do you know, the valve is a spring centered...I don't know why it wouldn't earlier but it's good now. I absolutely love this thing. It's slow and deliberate enough that I can make precise adjustments.

7.5-15 is what mine has. Yeah. Every time I have a big load on the bucket and see the tire squeeze down and roll it makes me want bigger fronts. I like the size of the tires and wheels on the 5660su, but that tractor doesn't come with a hst. They seem small.

I don't know why it wouldn't be oem. I ordered it from the dealer as an option when I bought the tractor and it had to be shipped from kubota. That is the best pic i got right now.

Okay, I am putting in a hydraulic top link and I will be mainly using the rear of the tractor for bush hogging and box blading. I put a hydraulic remote in place when I bought the tractor new because it would give me options. I didn't specifically ask for a spring centered valve, but it seems...

I absolutely love this thing. So glad I went with a 7' one too. I never once used my 6' bush hog and wished it was smaller, but always bigger.

I choose a 7' model. The blades look great.

It looks proper to me, but I don't have the knowledge or experience to know. The price is good on this bb but I don't want a flat bar for a blade, like I'm told the less expensive ones come with. It's a Lowery branded unit made in Boaz Alabama. It looks great to me. Is there anything to be...

I don't necessarily agree with Minnesota guy so I thought I'd do a little research and I came across this: Is It Better To Have A Yellow Or Whiter Light On The Road? | PowerBulbs I like my car headlights better whiter. I just mounted some LEDs on my tractor, but I drive that so slowly I don't...

Welp, I got it installed and it's not as slick as I'd hoped. It's really tight where the lid won't completely open, but worse, it's so tight that removing the loader and reinstalling it may damage the box if I'm not very careful. I'm glad I have it there for extra storage, but it ain't perfect.

Already have a toolbox there

I bought these pipe brackets at McMaster Carr To mount this box right here: I've looked at a great many places trying to find a good spot, and I think this looks good and is convenient.

Pulling out privet

Not bad points at all. Buying a more expensive machine that says Kubota only means you have more tied up in it while you have it. If you sell it in the future, you'll likely get a great percentage back. You can't assume that with all brands.

Put a metal toolbox on back, and pulled up a bunch of privet.

In engineering, the area under the curve is known as the toughness. Here it can be seen that the grade 5 has it in spades over the grade 8 Sorry if that doesn't comport with a blog on the internet. There are many tutorials but this one should suffice; Strength, Resilience, Ductility...

recent, but not today.

I see what you did there.

There are many visible differences in the 4701 and the 5200 rear ends. Top:4701 Bottom: 5200 I'm pretty sure the 48/52/58 are identical.

Dealer installed third function for grapple but it doesn't work with curl simultaneously, only by itself or with lift. Is this a characteristic of the valve, the installation, the tractor, or something that I'm not listing? Just trying to understand "why".

Haven't filled it yet:

So I have a new mx5200 with filled tires and 100lb wheel weights on each rear wheel. I will be using the weight for a small profile counterbalance for mainly gravel and clay dirt fel counterbalance. My initial idea was to put as much scrap metal in the 55 gallon drum as I could fit, and then...

Land Pride sgc1072 on my mx5200

Dealer couldn't tell me either. The MX5200's on his lot had the 14.9x26's...mine came with 13.6x28. I don't understand why there would be two completely different sizes of ag tires. Dealer couldn't say why.

Watched a Youtube and the owner says he thinks this sucks but it's just part of Kubota tractor ownership. Now tell the truth. Is there ever oil coming from the rear end or transmission of a new kubota with a hydrostat? I bought a brand new car one time and it's transmission was covered in oil...

I've seemingly narrowed my selections down a bit

Please. What is fundamentally different? I haven't figured it out yet from looking at the brochures and there are none on the lot to look at. I'm really trying to understand what the differences between the DK4710SE and the NX4510 (both in Hydrostatic transmission) are. Thanks

I can't find this online anywhere and i dont have a dealer close to look at them. Do they use bevel gears to turn and transmit power simultaneously?

Tractor sizing and comparison and choices...Help me choose- UPDATED wtith Land Pic So I've made a matrix to identify important parameters and characteristics of potential tractors. I'm looking at models in the 45-50HP range specifically, but I've included some above and below that threshold...
