kubota mx5100

Hi I'm going to look at a Kubota MX5100 geared, loader, it has a small leak from rear PTO, roughly 5500 hrs. Is there anything I need to look for, sounds, etc besides the normal, clutch, engine noises, wear points, greased fittings, etc.?? I know people will say just about anything to unload it...

I'd like to put a loader on my MX5100. The dealer said he can get the loader but not the front setup so I can have the SSQA on the loader. I can get the loader but it has to be a pin-on bucket and not SSQA. Does anyone know if this sounds right? He said the front SSQA bracket just shows as N/A...

Did kubota make an MX5100 with a cab? I haven't come across any in my searches.... Thanks!

So....I've had a 3-14 plow for several years. Never had an issue with pulling it with the MX. But being a smaller, older, Ferguson plow, and no trash/cover boards, or even a good way to attach some, the plow would constantly load up on corn stubble no matter how I prepped the field. Here is...

I’m not sure if this is a problem or not.. But my hst L2501, the pto shaft turns when tractor is shut off. The MX doesn’t. It makes 1/2 a revolution or so, and then stops…. It doesn’t matter if it’s engaged or not, it doesn’t turn. It does engage, when tractor is running, and seems to...

Bought new 5 years ago, 215 hours logged. Filters and maintenance performed as required. Now it has a failure with the fuel injection pump. Dealer wants $2400 to repair it. Is there a place that can rebuild the IP? I can remove and reinstall it. I’ve worked on diesels for 40 years and...

Don’t know the name of the part. Looking for a detailed drawing for hydrolics of Kabota MX5100.

I need to find the electrical wire for a 12V connection on an MX5100 or M7040. I know there's one under the fender on the M7040 but used those for work lights. Not sure on the MX. I'm hoping there's one under the seat but don't remember any. Tractors aren't here right now and any heads up would...

Looking for advise on how to install the Land Pride 380-166A 3rd function valve kit on my MX5100 with a backhoe. The directions are very confusing that comes with the kit. Trying to find out which hoses are the power beyond on the loader valve and on the front hydraulic block. A schematic and...

Hello, first post and looking for my first tractor. Have 22 acres. 2/3 wooded and 1/3 open. Lots of trees and hilly. I've got a 60" zero turn for the finish cutting, but want a bush hog for the fields I let grow. I found this 2014 Kubota MX5100 HST. It only has 100 hours. One owner. Looks...

So like many, I am getting tired of getting cold and wet when blowing my drive. I have a 2011 MX5100 that I love and it痴 my second Kubota. I just received a quote for a hard cab for $4k FOB US. Adding a heater and lights will add another $600-700. Seems like a decent price albeit it痴 not like...

Bought this tractor yesterday and it's a significant size upgrade from my previous tractor. St some point in time I will buy a larger Bush hog. How large a cutter would this tractor operate?

All of the sudden my 5100 is overheating every time I mow with my 6 House rotary mower

Can anyone tell me what size the tire lugs (front and rear) are on a 2012 MX5100 series tractor?

thinking about getting a suspension seat for my tractor, anyone have one or something similar on their kubota tractor?

looking for a Hydraulic top link for my Kubota MX5100 that will be used for rear blade, box blade and landscape rake. I'm not sure what size would best fit my tractor. Thanks , D

Anyone have any experience with this tractor. Looking for an utility tractor, with loader for yard clean up, fence posts, some light farm work like a manure spreader. Don’t think it would be powerful enough to plow. Have bought 73 acre farm and land rented but i want to fix up barn and house...

Recently got my new MX5100HD-AU, only 15 hours up, mostly chipping pruned ornamental branches with the Woodland Mills WC88. Very happy so far with the MX and the chipper. My other main use will be the loader for making compost. I'm keeping my BX2660 which I've had for 6 years, some parts of the...

Also, I found a part that's leaking fuel. Not sure if the problem and the leak is related. I'm not sure what part this is. Any thoughts on the running rough / not staying running problem? Has fuel. All filters changed about 10 hours ago. Any help is much appreciated! GT

I want to work on some hog damage in our lower pasture (around 5 acres) as well as disc some mounds in a couple other fields to break up the dirt to scoop up with my FEL to use to set several culverts in gullies along our fence line. Looking for recommendations on what size as well as a what...

Anyone ever found an aftermarket source for the inner tie rod boots? Probably the same as several other kubota models but its on a MX5100 OEM # is 35080-44680 In the ~1-1/2 years I have had the tractor, I have probably torn and replaced 5. They are a thin rubber and in an exposed area. And no...

Looking at getting a little bigger tractor. With DPF and other emissions, I don't want new. Looking at a used MX5100, any pros/cons to this model ? I haven't gone to look at it yet. Dealer is asking 22,900. Not dead set on this tractor. Just looking around at what's out there right now.

Tractor is a 4wd, hst with 275 hrs. 2 hydraulics on the back and skid steer type disconnects on the bucket Has the LA844 bucket and comes with a bush hog sq720. Firm price at 23,000. Tractor looks to have been kept outside. Any idea if this is in line?

Does anyone know if anyone makes an oversized radiator for a mx5100HST? I pull a landpride batwing and although the tractor does not overheat, when I stop and cut the machine off it will boil out via the overflow tube. I can prevent it if I allow the machine to run without the PTO engaged for...

I'm looking to add 2 rear remotes and T-N-T to a MX5100 HST that already has FEL and true 3rd function. I was wondering if you guys could confirm that I have the correct idea of the flow of the hydraulic system that I drew in the pic. All advice such as setup options, valve brands, etc. is...

I have a ten year old M5400 two wheel drive. I am looking at a newish 2013 MX5100DT (49hp) four wheel drive with a front end loader. My question is simple. Do yall think that the newer smaller 4 wheel drive will do as much work as the larger older 5400? The new tractor is 5 hp less and 600...

Need the assistance of the TBN brain trust. Got a weeping hose on my mx5100. Weeping several places through the hose. The hose ends are labeled SF-PF-04-14. Googling seems to lead me to "parallel pipe female thread union" as the type. They have a 30 degree inverted flare. Is this just...

So yesterday, I took delivery of my new (to me) MX5100 with loader. I had the dealer I bought it from add a third function valve and two rear remotes. After playing with the tractor a bit, I realized that there should be a float function on the loader. I can push the loader lever all the way...

Hi I have the choice between a kioti rx 6010 with 4and 1 bucket and cab 2 years old excellent condition 500 hrs 30,000 Or Kubota mx 5100 4 and 1 bucket And slasher New 40,000 Go...... First tractor and will be used for a variety of uses on a semi cleared block

Got my new-to-me disc. Overall not too bad. The bearings need replaced in one rear gang thats locked up. But the MX pulled it with no issues at all, both up and down hill in the corn field, then through the freshly plowed garden. With the one rear gang locked up, not sure if that makes it pull...

Hello, I have been looking for a tractor to do general chores (brush removal, 3/4 mile gravel drive maintenance, log moving, etc) around our wooded, rocky and hilly 250 acre property for some time now. A friend of mine is a relatively low volume Kubota dealer, and has a 2012 MX5100 HST 4x4 on...

I've got 62 hours on my MX5100 now. Two days ago when I parked it, my float function on the FEL worked properly. I push it all of the way forward, it drops down to the ground, and then I release it to shut off the motor and park it. Today I used my tractor's FEL with pallet forks to lift up a...

We're building a house on 50+ acres so I felt I needed a tractor for around the house for mowing, maintaining a gravel drive, and fighting the ever invasive Yaupon. I was thinking about 30-40 hp and started researching on TBN and watching Tractor Mike videos on YouTube. I knew 30-40 was light...

Does anyone know if the MX 5100 wheels/tires might fit on a a L4150. I found the whole set for sale "AG tires" for $1400. Only have 257 hrs on them. Was just wondering seems to me that the tires alone would be at least that much. Thanks.

What is the biggest you guys have ran? I am in need of a disc. Dad always had a disc, and we always used it quite a bit. He actually just had a couple, and always see these little 6-8' discs pretty cheap. So he fixed his up and sold it and planned to buy an other in need. But the craigslist...

As promised, a new thread detailing the 3 remotes and TNT build. Here are the parts used. For most of the fittings and adapters and hoses, I'll quote DHH or Surplus center prices, allthough I didnt need to order any from them. I had most of what I needed already, and what I didnt have, I...

After beating my head against the wall for the past week, trying to decide how to do the hydraulics. Stackable valve? monoblock, single valve + selectors, etc etc, I have finally ordered parts this morning. There is literally a ton of different ways to skin this cat, so my decisions was based...

Pics today of mowing with the new-to-me Woods DS96. Its a nice cutter for sure. And these next pics are of two different lots that I do 3 times a year. Lucky if I can stay on the seat much over 4-5 MPH. One is 3 acres the other 2 acres. Jobs like these make me wish for a 10' cutter.

Started the research today. Still not in a hurry as I don't have any uses at the moment. Dang stuff is expensive. Haven't really found a "kit" that has all that is needed. Rather a valve (l8304 IIRC) and then a handle kit. Seems about $800-$1000 just for 1 stinking remote. Got me thinking. A...

Got to really test her out today. Havent done much other than pilfer around the house with it since I got it. Had a 6 acre mowing job to do today Real thick grass. Was a retired hay field. So I figured I'd offer up my thoughts. First two things I need to do are 1.....I need a steering wheel...

Does anyone know how to tighten up the cruise control on the MX5100, mine won't hold at all. It work for about 1 year now won't hold. Thanks:confused:

My lift arm has slid off the spline at the end that attaches to the tractor. What keeps it in place. I have looked at Messicks diagram but still do not find anything that holds it on.

I have a Kubota MX5100 4x4 gear drive and I would like to add some wheel weights to it. I was thinking around 1k (500lbs to each tire). I have a source to get some 1" plate just slightly above scrape price and have a waterjet at work that shouldn't be to much trouble to gain access to. My rims...

Last weekend I did some grease and lube work around the tractor. Greased the front pivot, taking out the relief plug and pumping grease in until it came out the relief and then a little more to get good clean grease inside. Then moved on to the next zerk to the rear of the front one, on the...

Good morning all, I'm trying to take advantage of the "Black Friday" special and get my Pats Quick Connect ordered, but am not certain just which one I need. I have an MX5100, which I believe(????) is catagory 2? I know I'm using bushings in the ball ends to reduce for the smaller pin on the...

Was out brush cutting, happened to stop for a minute and when I went to continue bota had no power. Only movement is in low gear 1st-3rd and it's basically creeeeping. Fluids all seem fine. Any thoughts? Going to replace the hydraulic filter tomorrow.

I have an MX5100 HST that has been very reliable. It has developed what seems to be a bearing noise when in mid range or high range. the noise doesnt occur when loaded at lower speeds and not at all in low range. the noise is different from the trans whine. all fluids are changed on schedule...

I can get wheel weights quite a bit cheaper at Everything Attachment than I can from a Kubota dealer but I can't find out the bolt requirements for the weights. According to Everything Attachments the same weights fit a boatload of tractors: Our MX5100 has 17.5L-24" R4's. If you have a link to...

I was wondering if anyone is running a flail mower on a MX5100 (or close to it) and wondering how it does with whatever size you are using. I found an 90" Motts/Alamo flail I am interested in and didn't know how my machine would run it so I was looking for some real world experience (I have a...

Thought I would post a pic or two of my brush guard. I used the bottom of the factory brush guard and made a new top for it.

I need some help on my MX5100 loader. I built a work platform for use on the forks on my front end loader. I also use the bucket on the loader on a regular basis. My problem is that the hydraulics responds too fast to be really safe when I have the work platform in use. I would like to install...

My MX5100 is 3 years old and I have had this problem 3 or 4 times before. It is HST drive and something happens with the forward / reverse pedal and it doesn't make home position which won't permit it to start. Sometimes you tap it with your heel or toe and it will start. I usually have the...

This one has me baffled. I started my MX5100 this morning without issue. It ran approximately 45 minutes. I hooked up a new-to-me finish mower - without shutting off the tractor - and climbed back aboard in order to lift the mower up and move it away from my barn. I pulled forward a few...

I have an MX5100, tractor is great except the cruise control lever wont hold. I place it where I want to speed to be, it holds for a few minutes then slowly returns to stop position. It starts out great but then you can feel the tractor start to slow as the cruise control lever moves back to the...

I've just bought a slightly used MX5100 from a friend. The brush forks were connected to the front loader. My friend told me that the bucket was very hard to hook up, so I expected to have some problems. This is the LA844 loader and the L2235A bucket, which seems to be a valid combination. The...

Looking at a MX5100 and a MX5200, both with HST 4wd and loader. I thought the main difference was the tier 4 exhaust stuff and from what I've read and heard I prefer to go with the MX5100. Looking closer at them, the MX5100 has a clutch on left and brakes on right above the hst pedal. Didn't...

Paint finally showed up in the mail so I could tackle this project I've been meaning to do it forever now. The paint was way too cold to use from sitting out in the shop. Gonna let this stuff warm up a few days in the heated garage and then get it painted. I don't use it much so it...

Anyone out there installed a circulating engine heater on their tractor? (MX5100HST) Wondering where to install hose port connections for best results. Any info would be appreciated. thanks, in advance Dave

Looking to maybe purchase a Wr long 4 in 1 bucket, according to their fitment chart my LA844 loader has an avg lift capacity of 2145 lbs. which means an ultra jaw 2 would be almost too light but a UJ1 would be too heavy. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, garrett

Drove through water hit a deep pocket, sucked in some water through breather, tractor shut down . What is proper procedure to restart ? Have not tried to re start it yet . Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I bought the MX5100 the other day and I am want to add some rear remote to the tractor. I would like to have at lease two float valve installed for the TnT setup. Does any one know or have any experience as to how many float valve you can have on the MX5100? I did some research and search about...

Ammo can tool box, 3 point trailer hitch, bucket hooks, clamp on pallet forks, clamp on trailer hitch. Thanx for looking

This is my first post on your site, thanks for the oppotunity to join in! I own a small acreage, and purchased a new 2012 MX5100HST with loader, backhoe, 72" rough cut, 72" tiller, and 84" boxblade, (all LandPride) Thought I got a good deal(all in under 50K). My issue is a fuel leak into the...

I have a mx5100 with loaded tires. I read post where people have to have loaded tires, wheel weights and a ballist box in order to keep there tires on the ground when using there FEL. On my tractor i've picked up full buckets of rock/gravel with no problem i've even tried to pick up tree root...

I've recently purchased a 40 acre block of land that is mostly pasture, but has about 5 acres of bush or woodland. There is a lot of fallen timber in the wooded area and some quite large fallen eucalypt trees. I want to clean up the wooded area, which will involve dragging or skidding some of...

I have an L4300 as well s an MX5100 and use them for seeding and tilling things. Both are rated to lift 2860 lbs at link ends or 2310 lbs at 24 inches back. Usually, I lift 1300 lbs and it's no problem for either tractor, especially the MX5100. I have weights on the front of both tractors. Now...

Nope, not looking at which one to buy but just some thoughts. We recently purchased a BX25D to help with small chores around the house and take care of things the MX5100 does not do as well... First off the MX is a heck of a good machine, we are very pleased with it. Has a ton of power, good...

Finally had my tractor delivered and it was a little sad to watch them leave with my L3400. First thing was to lift a 5x4 hay roll with no ballast to see difference promised by the dealer. All I can say is thank you kubota for the 2000.00 coupon to push me into making payments again. I loved my...

I am signing papers in the morning for a new 2013 mx5100 gear model with 844 loader. Paying 26,500 with rim gaurd filled rears and bale spear for the front. They are giving me 11k for my 2006 l3400dt with la463 loader with 330hrs. The l3400 has done everything I have asked except lift wet 4x5...

pushin some snow banks back because of the weather comin... the shoulder of the road was frozen with water running underneath. nothing like 4wd and kubota horsepower.

This is my first tractor. Other than clearing the driveway, I don't know exactly what I'll be using it for yet, but I have plans. FEL's are very useful, I may get a snow blower, I definitely want some pallet forks for the FEL, I could use a post hole digger for putting up a few acres of fence...

Greetings. After several months of lurking , I have finally registered. This week I will be ordering a new MX5100HST. I think I have the options I want all figured out. But let me run it past the experts to see what I missed and should add. Here is the order: MX5100HST with LA844 Loader...

So I have been thinking about upgrading to a larger tractor from my MX5100, but not sure how far to go. The 2 main reason I want to increase size is for more lift capacity and the ability to run a 12ft brush hog (Batwing). The lift would mainly be for lifting full pallets of material and not...

I own a Kubota MX5100 w/hydrostatic transmission. I suspect I have a "safety switch" problem, because as of yesterday it won't start. Basically, when I turn the key there is no response. The battery is strong, but there is not even the familiar "click" of power reaching the starter. I know...

All 4x4, all with FEL, and all HST. I have a rough quote of $25k for the L4600 and haven't checked on the MX's yet. Website build price is within $300 for the L4600 and MX5100 and the MX4700 is cheapest. For my use, the extra HP isn't a requirement; in fact I could probably get away with the...

I have a new mx5100, my top link appears to be too short. To get the top link out level with the lower hitch arms it is around 3/4 of the way extended out. And when using my box blade, if I adjust it out further than the lower arms it's about to screw out of itself. Do I have the wrong top link...

Decided to get out and clear the driveway around 3pm today and the tractor would not initially start. It had power and I had used it earlier in the day no troubles. I thought perhaps it was the kill switch stuck so I checked under the seat and it was operating okay and then checked some of the...

Looking at purchase of MX5100 with a front end lift. From what I have been told really need the 4 wheel drive to fully use front lift. Adds a good bit to price of tractor so wanted to get thoughts of those that have/have not the 4 wheel drive. Thanks

So far I have logged roughly 5 hrs seat time. Mainly mowing with a six foot rotary cutter and clearing dead cedar trees with the FEL. After spending years operating older machines I can say it is a luxury to drive. Even my wife, who has never been on a tractor before, was able to operate the...

As a bonus at work I was told to go buy myself a new tractor. I said OK... But as an engineer I am spending way too much time analyzing the options. Here is roughly what I do with a tractor: Running bushhog on a very rough 10ac a couple times a year (most the rest is woods or planted by a...

I started my 2012 MX5100 today. It ran fine for the first 45 minutes. I let it idle in the yard for about 15 minutes then went back to pushing snow. made about 100 foot pass under load and the tractor ejected the dipstick about 30 feet from the tractor. I replaced the dipstick picked the...

I was finally able to get my MX5100HST on a trailer and move it with my own truck. I blew the motor in this same truck about a month and a half ago towing an unloaded trailer (large injectors + too much timing) seizing the 2 middle pistons to the liners and cracked the head in 3 places. I just...

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.

Folks, new to the forum, but have been a follower and reader for some time. I have a farming background, mostly john deere 125+ hp tractors. I ended up with a Kubota MX5100 tractor about a year ago and use it for bush hogging, box blading, small disc, and small field cultivator. My question...

Changed fuel filter today on my MX5100, following the steps in the Op Manual for bleeding. But the engine shut down just before I closed the bleed valve and will not restart. Apparently the next step would be to bleed one (or more) of the fuel injection lines, but how do you get to the top...

What's the biggest disk my tractor will pull without over-working it? Also, will this tractor pull a 4 row planter? Appreciate any help/advice.

Does anyone have experience using Rotella T in a Kubota MX5100? The manual seems to say that you shouldn't use it because one of the many Rotella T specs is CJ4. The manual, if I'm understanding it correctly, says that CJ4 oil shouldn't be used because it's intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate...

I am the new owner of a mx510 0, 4hrs on odometer. I really enjoy the tractor and am getting used to the controls gradually. I already know about the jerky 3pt hitch thing. I just found another problem that if one is not careful could damage the hydraulic unit. It concerns the 3pt hitch...

Hi all, I'm looking at buying a M6040 or MX5100 and need some width info. The product brochures for both machines state the minimum width, but I need to know the max width to determine if either will fit on my trailer. Does anyone have this info? I would be most grateful for whatever you can...

I had heard it both ways before i purchased. It won't lift that. or It'll lift that no sweat. The "that" in question is 2000lbs of heating pellets. I have 5 tons delivered every year and was tired of manually humping them into my garage with the pallet jack or even worse having to unload by hand...

Is that a decent price for this tractor

Just did my 50 hour oil change. It seems the MX5100 has 2 oil drains on the bottom of the pan, one on each side. Wonder why come this is??

Mx5100HST OR DK50HST OR 5035 MAHINDRA HST can't make up my mind. I currently have a kubota L3200 HST I need more hp. The mahindra is huge and heavy The kioti seems ok, I like the fact that the kioti and mahindra have remotes in the rear. The kubota mx is ok, nothing fancy. It lacks some of the...

Hi guys, new to the forum. Im looking at tractors, I think I have settled on a Kubota MX5100 HST, FEL, R4 tires. Ive had quotes of 26200-25000. Does this sound like a good ball park? Im in Ga. Thanks Shawn

My MX 5100 (about 200 hours on it) quit after about 30 minutes of bush hogging. The only other time it quit, I cleaned the fuel filter element, bled the fuel system (as described in the Operator's Manual), and it ran fine. Followed the same procedure yesterday, it ran O.K. with the air vent...

Just got my '12 MX5100DT with LA844, QA bucket, grill guard, and Rim Guard. For me, the power and size are perfect. I'm ordering a tooth bar tonight and leaning toward the WR Long "TB." The QA really gets my mind going over the possibilities. I've cut my rough cutting time in half, too. It...

I'd appreciate any tips you guys have on finding replacement wheels and tires (R4 or R1) for an MX5100. I'm looking at one that has turfs on it, and I would want to replace them with R4s or R1s (preferably R4s). Front and rear, of course. I know I can order them from Kubota, but I haven't...

I have a Kubota MX 5100 with hydrostatic transmission. When I get off the tractor while the engine is running the engine shuts off as the shuttle ignition shut-off switch senses that the tractor is in a forward or reverse position.

Just got a mx5100 and want to add a grill guard. Haven't checked with dealer yet, there's one on ebay for $249+. Making my own probably not an option. Any other suggestions?

Hey Guys, I'm looking at a used 2011 Kubota MX5100 4x4 with La844 FEL, less than 100 hours, Ag tires. It hasn't been garaged kept but has been kept in a location that doesn't receive much sunlight. I have seen pics and it looks to be in good shape. However, both front outer boots are torn. Is...

Hi Guys, great site, helped me choose my soon to be tractor - a mx5100 hst. I have one problem, the backhoe. In australia, there is some standard that the mx5100 bh92 combo doesnt meet (ROPS position). That being said, i am willing to ignore all the other mx5100/bh92 related deaths that occur...

Just noticed on Sunday that while bush hogging along the road with the left side on the edge of the pavement the tractor wouldn't hold it's line. What I mean is that it requires steering pressure to keep from steering to the right, like with road crown. During the .5 mile I was driving like...

I bought a "new" used MX5100 w/FEL almost two weeks ago. Apparently, a guy bought it, took it home and barely scraped the paint of the cutting edge of the bucket and decided he wanted a bigger tractor. I bought it with 8 hrs on it as a "new" unit with respect to the ability to finance and...

Does 8 foot plow sound about right for a Kubota MX5100, mounted on FEL? I have a 7ft rear blade, and the machine does fine with that if chained up.

I have been reading n learning from tbn for a couple of months.Narrowed my choice of tractors down too mx5100 kubota.My concern is im doing mainly grapple work on 200 acres of woods and it seems like the mx is much lower in hydralic capacity compared too other tractors in its class.Want to hear...

Purchased a new MX5100 a couple of weeks ago and want to know if any other MX5100 owners have experienced a jerky 3pt hitch? With a box blade on the 3pt, it is smooth when lowering and when raising quickly, but if you raise slowly, the hitch is pretty jerky. Jerky enough to bounce the tractor...

Just took delivery of a new MX5100 HST. Only been able to put about 3 hours on it so far, but really like the power on this tractor. The HST has been great. Only complaint so far is the 3pt hitch is pretty jerky when raising slowly or in small increments. Smooth when lowering, but bounces the...

Lots of threads on the forum relating to pallet forks, but I was interested in learning specifically what brand of pallet forks the MX5100 owners have purchased, reasons for purchasing, and how well they work. Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks for your comments. Curtis

went to a farm yesterday thats selling most everything they have an picked up 3 good feed troughs an 2 mineral feeders.noticed he had a batwing shredder sitting there.so asked if it was for sale he goes no.but i do have a 14ft bushhog i bought 3yrs ago used once or twice that ill sell.so it...

Looking for any advice and comparison between the MX5100HST and the M5140 hydro-shuttle in terms of performance and fit for doing grapple work clearing brush and trees. Will be using tractor to clear, move and stack brush and also to move and pick up downed trees to waist height for easy...

OK, this is small potatoes from the get-go. i love my MX5100 and, all things considered, is perfect. Except for the small item that the distance between the throttle foot pedal and the lever on the floor to engage the rear wheel lock (positraction) is too close and if you aren't careful can ruin...

Hi guys this is my first post, I just purchased a 2012 MX5100 2wd and geared last week. My family own a Dairy farming back in the 60's and 70's. They had to sell when I was 13. My farther kept 50 acres and a 1950's ford 800 which is getting tired. So that is one reason I got the Kubota for...

Hello to all. Finally pulled the trigger today on my dream machine. An MX5100 4wd, quick connect fel, and gear driven. Kubota is giving a $2,000 discount for cash, and I couldn't pass it up. Not to mention, my dealer gave me about another $3 grand off list. The backhoe is going to have to wait...

Just took delivery of a new MX5100 this past week (thanks again to all who helped me to pick the tractor out). I'm having one curious issue which I thought I might ask opinions of here before calling my dealer back. I park the tractor outside, under cover, on a slightly unleveled surface. I...

Reading my owner's manual again, I noticed it says that you are supposed to come to a complete stop before engaging the 4WD. I guess I do that most of the time but there have been occasions when i started to slip at a slow speed and just pulled the 4Wd lever to engage. I thought it was OK to do...

Looking for pics or instructions of a block heater on this tractor or one similar. Thanks

If you have an MX5100 with Kubota rear remotes, would you be so kind as to post or PM me with pictures of the rear remote hydraulic valves? Just tilt the seat up and take a couple of picture of the valves, please. I'm thinking about ordering the Kubota rear remote kit and installing it myself...

Tying to work through all the pros and cons for each of these machines and which one would make the most sense for my needs. Primary use will be cutting 20 acres of fairly hilly pasture land, not too steep though and secondary usage would include general maintenance of gravel roadway, fence...

well i camehome to a heifer laying by the flatbed trailer.didnt think much about it till i turned the water trough off.then i checked her an she had got her head neck an front legs wedged in the trailer tongue.so called a cousin an he came to help.he tied the log chain around her rear...

Narrowed down to either a slightly used kubota mx5100 or a new mahindra 5530. Both have FELs and gears. I really liked the 5530 when I test drove it and the lay out of its controls. I also like the mx5100 and I can get that 4000$ cheaper. Two different dealers both being about the same distance...

In July 2012 I bought a new Kubota MX5100DT tractor, manual transmission, no cab, with 844 loader. This tractor replaces my 1947 Ford 8N that I have used for the last 33 years. I have used the Kubota about 25 hours, mainly to cut my fields with a sickle mower. So far I find the Kubota an...

Anyone ever had problems with their hood latch? Been brush cutting some tall/seedy grass & need to clean the radiator screen every so often to keep the engine temp in normal range. Only way I can get the hood open is with a long flat-head screwdriver & prying the mechanism away from the pin...

When towing a turbocharged tractor it is common practice to tape an upright exhaust stack shut to avoid having the wind blow in the exhaust and spin the turbo bearing without oil and burn it up. Newer compact tractors have the exhaust exit under the edge of the hood where the wind might not...

This might be a silly question but I'm a novice tractor guy and need to lubricate the loader for the first time on a Kubota MX5100. Read the instructions but it only tells you where to lubricte not how. I have the grease and the grease gun ready to go but how do I get the grease where it needs...

After kicking it around for a while, a chance encounter with the dealer led to my buying a unit that had been demo'd at a county fair for all of five hours. It's a gear drive MX5100 with R-1 ag tires, rear remotes and a set of front weights. It is what I need in that it is light but has 50 HP...

a buddy came over yesterday morning an we gave the MX5100 HST a complete service.we greased the tractor from top to bottom.then we drained the engine oil an changed the oil filter.then it was on to the hydro oil.an boy was that oil ready tobe changed after 125hrs.the hysro filter had some metal...

MX5100DT with gear trans and ag tires. Is new at a dealer and has 5 hours on it from county fair use. It has front weight bracket and 5 weights as well as one set of remotes in the back. My price list is from six months back but so is the tractor. I figure tractor @ $22,829, hyd valve @ $718...

I have an L4300DT with ag tires that i use for landscaping purposes. I do not have a loader on it and don't want one. But I need a little more power and have been thinking of going up a notch to a used MX5000DT-ag tires or even a new MX5100DT-ag tires. Maybe even an L4600DT but I don't think...

for those of you wondering if a mx5100 can handle a 3pt 6ft shredder in heavy shredding the answer is yes.i run in low at 1800 to 2000rpms.an the shredder goes through anything i ask it to.you need to run at 2000rpms for heavy stuff an drive slow.

I'm new to owning a tractor and just bought a new mx5100. Most of the tractor usage has been using a tiller or a 6ft brush hog. We have 10 hrs on it and have used over 20 gal of fuel, Does this make sense?

i`ve searched but can`t find any info. on how to make a vertical exhaust thru the hood with a 3" chrome stack. has anyone done this or can tell me how to. thanks candyman

Does anyone know how many tonnes an MX5100 Tractor with FEL can tow easily including a trailer?

I'm trying to decide on an appropriate 42 inch pallet fork for MX5100 (quick attach). We want to handle pallets and building materials which typically will be less than 1000lbs, but there will also be some more abusive "off-label" use such as big logs, rocks, etc. I've seen that pallet forks...

Hi All, I read on the forums recently of someone disconnecting the clutch pedal switch to permit starting the tractor without depressing the pedal, having to climb aboard to start is a pain,,, where is the switch located? Walter t

I have a mx5100 can someone tell me , draw a picture , take picture , of how the hydraulic lines come off of tractor for the bh90 backhoe .I am wanting to make me a set of remotes set up like that to run a post driver , log splitter so I don't have to tie the handle back on the other remotes...

It' here! After almost buying the L4600 I decided to step up to the Mx 5100. I saw where too many wished they had went with a bigger tractor. I may not be able to eat, but I got the bigger tractor!:laughing: I get to keep it for a week then it goes back to have the controls and a Grapple...

Anyone know what the difference between an MX4700 4 / Naturally aspirated and an MX5100 4 / Turbocharged?

Hi All, Got my MX5100 HST yesterday, NICE rig, I traded my L4400 gear tractor in on the new beast, it is a little bigger, more power , love the HST, R4's loaded, QA bucket, canopy, 3 rear remotes, pallet forks. I put my quick hitch on from the L4400 and hydraulic top link, mounted my home built...

Finalized a deal today with my favorite local dealer (Phil's Sales and Service in Columbiana, Ohio) for a new B2620 with a 60" MMM. This will be my fifth Kubota in 5 years. I just love getting new tractors, I must be a distant relative of johnthomas. I originally started out with a BX2350. I am...

im going saturday to drive the mx5100 and the m5640. I have finally narrowed it down to these two models. over half of the tractors use will be in the woods with my wallenstein fx90 skidding winch and moving logs. I like the mx for its size and low stature but i like the 5640 for its bigger...

Hello to all! I ve been looking on here for awhile and finally signed up. I want to replace my old 3600 ford with a new MX5100 here in the next month. it will see a lot of time in the woods with my wallenstein fx90 skidding winch. I would like to make sure, however, that the la844 loader is...

I can seem to find a 3rd function for the tractor and kubota doesn't make one for it. Any info is appreciated

I have price checked two dealerships and have a $1500 price difference. The latter dealer told me he checked with his distributor and his competitions unit is already 2 years old! What kind of differential in pricing should there be for a NEW two year old machine?

I am very excited.... going to pick up the new one Friday morning. :thumbsup: I made the mistake of just riding in a M6040 cab tractor 2 weeks ago ..just around the lot. But decided on the M7040HDC-1 for the extra HP. It seems that everything just fell in place...

OK, so you might say I put the cart before the horse, so here is what I need advice on. I own a L3400, great tractor I used it for bush hog, and disk. I bought a new place (41 Acre) soil is more clay than sanding of my old place and the L3400 was starting to strain a bit with the bigger disc and...

I'm leaning toward the MX5100 for purchase in the near future. I will eventually want a grapple -- and it looks like the most common opinion here is to go with the WR Long one -- and not the factory Kubota for the 3rd loader function. I may eventually want a sickle, or other equipment that may...

I just wanted to introduce myself. We would appreciate any advice about getting rocks out of the plowed field. Right now we are stopping the tractor and loading up the front end loader. We took six loads out just this week. We are dealing with about 10 acres. I love my new tractor. Kubota...

A limb got pushed up into the underside of my Kubota MX5100 today and broke off the lower radiator hose connection port. The broken port remained dutifully clamped to the inside of the hose, but it broke away from the bottom of the radiator itself, which, to my surprise, is plastic. The top...

My buddy at work lives down the road called and ask if I could bring my tractor down and offload a woodstove from a trailer. I said no problem, I'll be right down. Even though it was raining a little I headed out to help him. I pulled in his drive and holy cow, there was one of the biggest...

This was done a couple of years back but things have changed since then. The MX5100 now comes with a Hydrostatic option and 2 or 4wd select. Does the L4400 have any advantages over the MX5100? The price is so close, I'm wondering what the catch is? This is my first tractor and it would be...

I cannot decide which to buy. I currently own a bx2360 hst, a New Holland tl80 mech shuttle, and an older MF 255. I want a good midsize tractor to brush hog with, run a box blade, do fel work, and mow, and rake hay, and carry 5x5 round bails. I spec'd a M6040 with hydro shuttle, 4wd, fel...

First off, what a great site! Can hardly pry myself away from here at times. I Plan to purchase a new MX5100 this week, and am also looking to purchase a rotary cutter to match the tractor. I will be cutting 5 or 6 acres of pasture, and maintaining trails in the woods with the new tractor...

HI ANYONE KNOW WHETHER IMPLEMENTS USED ON A fORD 3000 tRACTOR COULD BE EASILY COMPATABLE FOR USE BY kubota mx5100 ? I'm thinking of buying used tractor implements when i buy a new tractor...i think the Ford 3000 was a 47 HP tractor and so i need to be sure they are easily compatable before...

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 suppose that Im looking for a multi-use tractor that will do all tasks very well. I don't know if that tractor exists. I curently run an old IH 1066, and it's great for shredding the 10 acres of pastureland that I have, but I can't really do anything else with it around my place. Im...

Does anyone know of any safety and stability issues with using the BH on both these models as in Australia KUBOTA are not permitted to sell the BH 92 on both machines as its regarded as unsafe. Something to do with the ROPS height or distance from the tractor seat or the attaching framework...

wildkat grapple 48" got the 3rd. function valve from ted installed it myself. got the grapple 3 weeks ago, man this thing is nice have moved logs, brush, rocks & can even pickup pop cans, i don`t even have to get off the tractor to pick them up. how did i ever get along without it. / candyman

Howdy all. I'm a new member of the forum but have been looking for info here for several years. We are getting ready to get our first tractor and think we have it narrowed down to the MX4700HST, but I am wondering if there are any real advantages to going with the MX5100HST. I know the 5100 has...

well I have been looking at tractors for about a year now since I bought the ranch.. no pun intended. I had my eyes and heart set on the L4240, there just happened to be an AG show these week in my town, went down to see if there were any show specials.. One of the sales guys there showed me...

Does anyone know the price or part numbers for a 2ND set of rear remotes for the MX5100. I asked 3 dealers and have 3 totally different answers. Also the price is over $400 different. Seeing the first set is there it seems the 2nd should be a lot cheaper.... Thanks

i want to install 4 rear remotes has anyone installed there own. what to get & how to install. ? thanks, candyman

Courtesy of Fit Rite Hydraulics! I have to say how easy it was to communicate to Brain any and all questions I had during the research stage. He answered everything within a short time period. First off it arrived on time...was packaged great with no damage. After using this hydraulic for a...

How can I get my hands on a KUBOTA MX5100 HST 4 WD with loader and BH OPERATING MANUAL before I actually order it? I'd like to know more about it before I put the order in, yet it seems to be impossible which makes me think there might be problems to operate them than appears the case by not...

A few weeks ago I posted on here that I was a first time tractor buyer and I thought I had narrowed my choice down to the kubota 7040... Well after scratching my head for a few weeks I am now wondering if I need a tractor that big. I just purchased a small farm and need a tractor to maintain the...

SUMMARY: I have questions about the backhoe bucket width (18" or 24"), what length trailer, tire selection (R-1 or R-4), and backhoe thumb (hydro or mechanical) ME: I own a BX2230 with Woods BH6000 and am very pleased with the combination on my 2 acre plot. THE LONG STORY: My brother has...

Since i searched and searched for any pictures shoeing the way the hoses are ran and the machine looks with ill post my pics here when I'm done. Should be interesting. Today I will be adding 2 sets of rear remotes to the tractor. It is the factory setup.

Hi, I have a 2005 MX5000 and the book says it is category I/II. I am in the process of making a tipping box and need to know how wide to make the lower links. Cat 1 is 26" wide, Cat 2 is 32.5" wide. What should I do? It will be mostly used for firewood gathering, but sometimes I might put a...

If price was no object (I think there's about a $5,000 premium for the L5240 over the MX5100) is there any reason why I should buy the MX5100 instead of the Grand L5240. Both would be HST and open station. I do a lot of tractor work (plowing and/or tilling) in smaller (1/4 to 1 acre) market...

Im trying to decide if I buy an 8ft blade for the 3pt is gonna be to big if I ever need to rotate the blade 180 Degrees (from pulling with it to pushing with it). Or is the 7ft the better fit?

I am trying to determine whats the advantage of a turbocharged tractor ( which I have never owned ) vs naturally aspirated. I have an L2500 now I am selling and trying to move up to something I can possibly put a backhoe on ( btw whats the average cost of a backhoe for a 5100?). IS the 5100...

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...

my tractor is 1yr old today,an it has close to 90hrs on it.an the tractor has been great trouble free service.an it has done everything ive asked of it an more.the loader handles the 5 by 6 bales no prob.

So I have finally done it. I purchased a 3 bottom plough about a week or so ago from a local guy who resells old used farm machinery and other items. I was about to give up finding a used one as they are so hard to come by up here. One New Holland dealer told me to call the local metal scrap...

My new MX5100 finally arrived late this afternoon. I did two laps around the orchard with the FEL on, and then did two more laps with the FEL off. All total I put one hour on her. Didn't go above 2000 RPM. She was a bit bouncy with the FEL on, however when I took the FEL off she felt like my...

Thinking about this unit with cutter only for 10 acres. Not needing a FEL until I build on the property at least 3 yrs from now. Best price I have gotten is around $22,100 with a canopy and industrial tires. 0% financing vs cash back

Just a short update on my first weekend with the new tractor. First things I noticed: - size...a lot longer than my B20 and have to watch the loader doesn't hit anything - power...plenty of it. I've only had it up to 1700 rpm's and it had no difficulty in digging up a stump from a 26" diameter...

Thought I would do a little contributing here... Sold my B3030 last year and picked up a new MX5100. I really liked the B3030, but found that it just didn't weigh enough for what I was using it for. The MX5100 fits my needs perfectly. I figured I would post a few videos of it in operation...

It was delivered today. Unfortunately they forgot the BB and I'm currently awaiting delivery for that anytime now. Yes I know pictures are required and so far have only taken this one: It will take some time to get used to it compared to my trusty B20. This one is a lot bigger and so long! I...

I closed a deal today on a new MX5100. I'm going with R1 tires, QA bucket, and an FFC 84" Hyd. Angle front blade. This thing caught my eye at the local fair in early September. It was love at first sight. I'm trading in my L3700 with a little over 500 hours on it. The L3700 is a great tractor...

maybe i`m in the wrong place i searched for the above & found nothing. i want to install it on my tactor i have a loader on it. don`t have a clue what or whos equipment to get & also i want to get a grapple. can someone help me. ? thx, cm

So Monday is the day I sign for my MX5100 with BH96, R4's, toothbar and Bushhog MBX72 BB. I've sold my B20 and should have the MX by Friday. Can't wait, should be an interesting day and I'll be sure to take some pics then. Edited to note that I forgot to add it will also have QA.
