Hey I learned a bit about backhoes on a tractor vs a regular backhoe...so it was a good post...

Can you send me some recommendations and web links so I can get an idea of what could work for me. I hate to be ignorant on this but I’ve got 15 bales on the ground now and now need to be able to load them. Thanks.

I own a Kabota MX 5400 and i’m just getting some of my pasture hayed for the first time. I don’t own a set of hayforks and I was just wondering if you guys that do haying have recommendations on forks two prong three prong round, prong, etc. I’m not going to be producing much hay probably 15...

Fill your PTO gear box to 1/4 to 1/2 inch on the dip stick. If you overfill you run the chance of blowing the seal on the seals on the gear box. There are two. That’s why it’s blowing out oil. You’re fortunate the vent is working. As mentioned these are low rpm and fairly low duty gears. Same...

Got the seal job done. Here’s a couple of photos of the job. The project started out as maintenance on the slip clutch. It wound up doing a seal job on the gearbox and on the transmission. When I took apart, the slip clutch it was minus any clutch disc one seem to be melted. Are there any...

I agree with shred then in a week or so herbicide. In clay you might consider a light discing. Since you’re not planting a seed bed you might just disc and drag. Lot faster for sure even if doing several passes.

I'm about to begin repairs on a TMG 72 inch tiller....I purchased it used and the gear box input seal is leaking and possibly the gear drive box seal is as well....in my town there are no ag dealers. I can drive to a Kubota dealer 30 miles away but my question is will a seal from NAPA or...

This might be of interest

Thank you for the comment. My problem is that my tiller is used and is without a manual. I contacted the factory and they gave the only manual they thought it was (it has no identification plate). I want to think it was never adjusted from factory specs but I have no way of knowing. That’s why...

I’ll have to check that out thanks

I have purchased a used TMG tiller I serviced it today and ran it for the first time. I’ve never run one before so I have no experience with one. So while running it for a test I noticed when running into some coastal Bermuda the clutch slipped. It made quite a racket so I lifted it a bit to re-...

Thanks for all the comments. Good ideas. I was concerned that using the FEL would possibly damage something. I was concerned about using the drawbar because years ago (novice tractor operator) I nearly tipped a tractor back while trying to pull out a stuck drilling rig. Thanks again.

I have a large oak tree that the wind blew down along our creek. It’s probably 50 ft or so tall and trunk diameter of near 36 inches. I plan on piecing it out with a chain saw and using my MX5400 to drag the cut pieces out. My question is:due to working along the creek bank I’ll have to use...

I have the MX5400 no can just canopy on 85 acres. Serves my purpose well. I do clearing, mowing, discing tilling etc. I’ve never been under powered except lifting some concrete washouts from our barndominium slab. I just kept the ftt try ont loader low to the ground. Load your tires from the...

Any link or reference on Euro style

I have a TMG 72 inch tiller I bought used...I haven't operated it yet so I hope it's OK...I have received a manual from TMG so hopefully it has the information I need...I want to change the oil in the gear drive end and the gear drive housing...not sure how much oil to fill either....comments...

I like your "motto"....so true....my lift arms are cat 2 implements cat 1....I'll go with Pat's 2/1 hitch...thanks for your input

I have an MX5400 which is a Cat1/2 system...I'm looking to get a set of Pat's quick hitch adapters and I'm thinking I should order Cat 1....does it make a difference and has anyone put Pats on their MX5400? Any feedback on experience with them. All my equipment is Land Pride but one TMG...

I have a Kubota MX5400. We have three 16ft. trailers on our place that we move around time to time. I want to use the tractor to do this instead of using my pickup. Do clamp on bucket ball hitches work or an A frame three point work better or suggestions on something that works for you. I know...

Thanks everyone Too much honey locust and mesquite

I have a Kubota MX5400. Been doing a bit if shredding and box blading. I pulled my screen and used a blower to clean it up. Then I used a water hose spray to clean the radiator. Problem is access to wash from the back side washing out because of the fan. Anyone have a method of washing out the...

Thanks everyone

I have a front tire on my Kubota MX5400 leaking. Any recommendations on tire sealants thanks

I have an Mx5400 about 2 years old. I was having starting problems with it. I found if I operated the forward reverse peddle I could get it to start. As it turns out there a fine point in the peddle adjustment that if not in the proper place prevented it from starting. I worked it with pumping...

Is it possible to lower your pump so it will stay ahead of the drawdown

Thanks that’s what I’ll do

I have them in our creek bottom. I spray with Remedy and diesel and leave them standing. Some that I pushed out if the way with my front loader had shoots come up. Sprayed and knocked them out. If they are in you way it is just careful work and burn pile out of your travel lanes. Gulley if...

I have a Landpride 2072 shredder and the rubber front guards are ripping off. I've looked at Chains and they are close to $300. Rubber replacements are $25. Has anyone used anything different that is more durable than the 1/4 inch or 3/8 inch whatever it is or should I just go ahead and rebuy...

When you said bought at auction and it came on when you first started it my guess is that the DPF needs to be replaced and it is quite pricy. Hopefully that’s not the case

I haven’t run one but I had a man do some work for me who had run one many times. He was working on a slight slope and nearly tipped over. So all I say is be careful and stay within your boundary of caution.

You could fill your bucket for additional front counterweight just to be as safe as possible.

Do you discharge one intentionally and then recharge? Or just because it happened? If you intentionally discharge how would a person do that?

Has anyone figured a homemade way to put a bucket level indicator on your Kubota. I have a MX5400. Mine didn’t come with one and I didn’t know I needed that add on. It’s not that I’m cheap to buy an OEM one I just know lots of you guys are innovators. If you have something photos are good.

My landpride is equipped with belting guards that a couple are ripping from the bolted attachments. I’m sure chains will stand up better but for now any experience with keeping the belted style from tearing or just replace th torn ones with chains(if they come in replaceable sections) thanks.

Thanks for the input. That’s what I’m doing so far. I did spray two areas of our pasture with Pastora to control Sandburs to keep them from being distributed across the property. We drive a UTV and I have a tractor so I’m trying to minimize Sandbur infestation. If I see them I also do spot...

I do have various arsenals that I could and will carry but a 22 behind the ear and they don’t move. The tractor mounted ack ack is a good idea. For sure I’d put out some firepower. I’ve plenty of targets on our place. They estimate 6mm hogs in the US and half are in Texas and I’ve got my share...

No cab just canopy

I have many hogs on our property. When I’m out on the tractor I’d like to carry a rifle. Has anyone done a carrier or have suggestions on how to do so. I have a 22 with a scope that I’d like to carry. Thanks

I’m shredding the past two days. Probably 2 more to go. Then spray on green up. Is Grazon preferable to glyphosate. I plan on using RM 43.

im needing to grease the rear ujoint on my shredder. The shroud with the hole and side doors doesn’t make it any easier. Also if I want to slip the clutch the side doors are difficult. Has anyone removed the shroud and can explain how to do it. If I could take the rear shaft off I’d do that but...

Thank you all for your input. All comments welcomed and appreciated. Thanks again

It’s Bahia and coastal but has weed growth of croton black eyed Susan horse mint various grasses

We purchased a property 2 years ago that has 50 acres of wooded and creek area and 30 acres of areas that can be developed into a pasture. We are currently doing wildlife management, but I’m trying to decide on whether it’s worthwhile to develop some or all of the 30 acres into pasture...

Much depends on what you are spraying. Heavy weeds or just sparse weeds that grow in a driveway. Hard to know you situation. Saying that a standard 25 gallon spray rig with a wand should fit your needs and you can put in an UTV or ATV and get it don in half the time as a tractor. But not knowing...

Good idea. Thanks never considered throttling

Thanks for the input. That makes sense. I’ll use this. Thank you

Yes that’s my spray rig dual boomless Boominator 1400ps L&R nozzles I should have given more detail

I Purchased, a Northstar spray rig 26 gallon tank with a 5 gallon a minute pump. I started calibrating it yesterday and it appears to me that the 5 gallon a minute pump is a lot more than I need for what I am doing on our place. Basically small food plots and I was setting up to control grass...

Lots of good advice thanks. I need to do some checking on what I have.

Has anyone had a ball socket freeze up on their auger. If so how did you get it loosened up. Thanks

Just to rely on others experience. I just bought a Northstar spray rig. If I fill it up and say spray glysophate on a couple of spots but don’t finish is it ok to leave the mixture and finish in the next day or so or do I have to drain, flush and put it back in the next day or so. How long can I...

So what surfactant do you use if not over the counter or do you just not use surf?

Thanks to all for the valuable feedback. That’s what I like about this site. everyone is always willing to provide great feedback based on their experiences. Thanks to each for that.

I'm not one to re-invent the wheel so I'd like to ask your recommendations on a brand of sprayer for my Kubota RTX-1140 side by side. I will be doing food plots for wildlife management...probably less than 1/2 acre per plot...I'm believing that a 25 gallon spray rig will be sufficient to do 3-4...

I’ll get some chokers. I have several nylon slings and basket chokers but as you know when they chinch up they’re hard to release. I’ll follow your suggestion no need to try and reinvent the solution. Thanks.

Here’s a before and after. I was concerned about upcoming rain so I had my grandson operating the winch on the side by side and I used the winch and waded in and did hand work. I have log tongs and a hand pike coming from suggestions. Later I’m making the fork attachment shared.

Could you explain a pike pole. I’m not familiar with that. Thanks photo or web reference would be helpful

Thanks for the reply. This is a novel approach to use on the forks.

as I read your post I see your main concern is the fact that you’re allowing the three people to hunt on your property has opened up your neighbor having other people come and I assume without your permission. I would suggest you just sit down with the three friends and go over your...

We have a creek that runs through our property. To access the backside we had to build a bridge about 30 foot long to get across. Recent rains have caused a log jam at the bridge support pilings. Has anyone built an attachment that either will go on your bucket or if you’ve taken the bucket off...

Thanks for your feedback. What a novel approach with the keyhole design. I’ll bet others will find this helpful. Great idea.

That’s a good idea using the box blade.

Are those bolts or rebar

Thanks for all the feedback. I’ll incorporate your suggestions and oil up the AR.

We have a lot of hog damage on our property that we recently purchased and I have secured a 10 foot railroad iron to manage some of the damage. One of my concerns is attaching the drag to the back of our tractor and also the UTV. my concern is the pull cables getting into the tires and possibly...
