    L vs M series Kubotas?

    We had an L3800 and needed to move up in size. We compared the L4701 and the MX series and settled on the MX5800. We really like it. For a relatively small additional cost, you will get a lot more capacity all around with the MX.

    Stand On Mowers

    We have a Wright commercial Sport X 61" zero turn mower. It is like the other Wright stand-up mowers except that the Sport X has a seat which can be folded down to sit on or folded up if you want to operate the mower standing up. I almost always use this mower sitting down. We bought this...

    New MX6000

    It will be a great tractor for you. We have the MX5800. We like it a lot. It replaced a L3800 HST, which had replaced a M5400 gear tranny. The MX is our favorite of the bunch.

    Everything Attachments

    jg, I don't know why EA actually ran the charge through, versus taking a deposit or putting a "hold" on your card. As lilranch said, I think that Travis will explain. I just wanted to note that I have bought five attachments from EA and they are great to do business with.

    How much ballast is typically needed for a MX5800?

    This is a follow-up report from the OP. I bought a OEM Kubota ballast box that weighs 220 # and holds something like 1,250 # of dry sand. I put something like 1,000 # of sand in the box, put four 4" PVS vertical pipes in the four corners of the box to hold chains, tools, my chain saw, etc. I...

    More Kudos for Ken at Boltonhooks.com

    I was asked above to post some pics when my ballast box project was finished. Here goes: To strengthen the box, I had 1/2" x 4" steel plates welded on the inside of the box level with the OEM plates that support the 3PH pins. I had a chain hook welded on top of the trailer hitch receiver...

    Coolbrze, you wanted some pics of our MX5800 front and back. Here you go: The first pic is obviously the view from the rear. The next two pics show a rear wheel from the inside and the outside. Hopefully you can see how the rims are set all the way out. The next pic is the view from the...

    More Kudos for Ken at Boltonhooks.com

    I bought a Kubota-made ballast box for our MX5800. The box weighs 220 lbs, holds 1,280+lbs of dry sand. It is only a steel box with 3PH attachments--no chain hooks, no clevis, no trailer-hitch receiver, no tool sleeves in the box, etc. Since I expect to keep the box on the tractor a lot, I...

    Everything Attachments

    +1. Interesting thread. I have bought several items from EA. I am more than satisfied with their products and service. And, about shipping, I find their shipping policy clear and easy to understand. Travis has been very helpful when I have called him to discuss shipping. He always makes...

    sudden and violent PTO engagement with new Kubota MX5800

    We have a Kubota MX5800 with about 14 hours on it. The MX PTO is engaged electrically by pressing a switch that locks in place until you press it again to disengage the PTO. I have engaged the PTO five or six times so far using our brush hog. Each time the PTO engagement has been very abrupt...

    Seeking advice about GPS type tracking of stolen equipment

    Due to a recent theft of our 18' equipment trailer, we are trying to improve our anti-theft security. I am aware of the general consensus that you can't prevent theft by professional thieves, that if someone really wants your equipment they can and will get it, etc. Still, we're going to...

    need advice about what paint to use to repaint attachments that stay outdoors

    I have some Leinbach attachments that stay outdoors and will probably continue to stay outdoors (a landscape rake and a scrape blade). I haven't kept them covered so they are getting rusted and I want to repaint them. I have a couple of other applications for a really good paint for metal...

    Use Fluid Film to lube attachment-dolly caster bearings? Other suggestions?

    I have most of my attachments on dollies inside a shed with a concrete floor. I want to put some more attachments on dollies but I am running out of space inside the shed. The shed has a roof-only extension that also has a concrete floor. I could put some attachments on dollies on this...

    42" light duty forks or 48" heavier duty forks?

    I plan on buying from Everything Attachments a set of SSQA forks for our Kubota L3800 tractor. I will probably buy either the 2200 lb capacity 42" forks or the 3000 capacity 48" forks. The 42" light duty forks weigh 238 lbs. The 48" heavier duty forks weigh about 340 lbs. My main application...

    need advice about how to cut 36" metal pipe

    This is not about welding but I would appreciate some advice. We have two 36" 20' long metal pipes side by side in a creek. The pipes are covered with about 2-3' of dirt to make a bridge. The creek is dry now but after a heavy rain both pipes are needed to carry the water flow. The end of...

    new top link: how to install the leverage rod used to adjust the length

    I had to get a longer top link due to installing the Pat's easy change quick-hitch device. I bought it at TSC. The top link came with the rod that runs through the center of the top link, perpendicular to the top link, that you use to turn the top-link turnbuckle screws to adjust the length of...

    Front-End Loader  Would I damage the FEL by putting ballast weight on one side of the bucket?

    We have a Kubota L3800 with a Kubota LA524 FEL. We have a sickle mower we will use to mow around the edge of a pond. The sickle mower weighs 540 pounds. A majority of this 540 pounds is on the right side of the tractor--the side the water is on, where the mower bar extends. We will not be...

    question about wheel spacers to increase width of tractor

    We will take delivery of a Kubota L3800 Friday. Sold a Kubota M5400. On the M5400, to enhance stability we had the front and rear wheels set out as widely as possible. Worked well. The L3800 is more narrow--a little over 60" outside-to-outside for the rear R4 tires. I am already wondering...

    Grapple  questions about choice of root grapple

    I want a root grapple for our L3800 38 hp Kubota tractor. We have a 4N1 bucket on the FEL, so we already have the quick-connect hydraulics for the grapple. Our first application for the grapple will be to clean up limbs and other debris left by the logger in a couple of miles of road lanes cut...

    Sickle Bar  question about sickle bar mower for Kubota L3800 mowing pond bank

    New member here. We have a 3-acre pond. I want to mow the most level and shallow edges of the pond--not the dam--with a sickle bar mower. This includes mowing the reeds, etc., that grow in the edge of the water. We have a Kubota L3800 tractor. I have done some research on the Internet and...
