kubota mx5100

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.

I purchased an new MX5100 HST, 4WD, with loader from my local dealer August 16th of this year. I love the tractor and the way it performs, but it is so noisy I am forced to wear ear plugs when I use it. There are a couple of concerns that I have about what is producing the noise. The fan is...

I sure underestimated the size of tractor I needed back a few years ago when I bought my first Kubota (BX2350) I just turned over 500 hours on my L3700 to find out I will need a larger tractor to run the new Rears Mfg. airblast sprayer that should be here around October 1 st. Yep, I will need...

I have a lead on a 2011 MX5100 which is the model I have been planning to upgrade to since the Spring. It has only 134 hours on it and was used solely to pull a wagon/trailer at a garden centre. They are asking $18,500 CAD or about $19,000 USD however it does not have a loader. I've asked the...

Hi everyone. Need some help from u guys. Today I have an BX24 which Im very happy with. But sometimes it too small. For example I need to get a "trailer" with a hydralic crane to do some work in the woods, trees catch by storms etc. I find that the BX24 dont have the ground clearance aswell to...

IM buying a mx5100 this week and am thinking about remote hydraulics. How hard are they to install later? there expensive from kubota and i'm not going to need them right away. Eventually i want to put a grapple on top of my bucket and have hydraulics to run a splitter or our 8ft disk in the...

Hello Just wondering if any mx5100 owners have pulled a mower/conditioner (haybine) or any disc mower? I imagine a small sq baler is no problem any one do any small rounds? I still trying to talk myself into one after working on the old MF this past week. Trying to find the right balanced...

Hey guys, I've never owned a tractor, but we just bought an RV Park and need a tractor to do the following things around the park: 1) Spread Mulch 2) Spread Pea Gravel 3) Spread Gravel for Roads 4) Grade Roads 5) Create new roads and sites 6) Bushhog 7) Spray grass and sites It sits on...

After all the rain here in Indiana finely got my hay baled 13 acres . This was the first time for me it was clover and grass mix thick . Long dry time ground was still damp under hay but got it done and tools back to barn. The MX5100 worked great keeping the rpm down to about 2200 (2700rpm 540...

A couple of questions for those that have gone from a Lxx40 to a MX. I'm wanting/needing to go to a larger brushcutter. How much do you miss the features of the Grand when going to a MX5100 HST? Also, if you use the rule of 5hp/ft., why do folks seem to run 6' and 7' cutters behind the MX...

I was at the dealer today pricing a grand L 3940 and the dealer wanted to show me the MX5100 saying it was more tractor for about the same money. Can you offer me comparisons as to what I'd be gaining or losing with these tractors? Operating expenses, creature comforts, reliability or anything...

Just a quick introduction from Tennessee... Recently got 100 acres to play around with. After shopping tractors ended up buying a Kubota Mx5100 4WD with FEL and backhoe. Not sure how much I'll use the backhoe but figured if I was going to buy a tractor I gotta have the backhoe too. Right now...

Hey folks....I bought a new MX5100 back in Feb.It has the LA844 loader.I need to pull it to the deer lease and my trailer is only 16ft long.My dad left it to me when he passed away.I plan on removing the loader and hauling it that way.I have a Woods BB720 rotary cutter on it which weighs over...

After borrowing my sisters John Deere 870 for the last few years I decided it was time to pick up my own tractor. After researching for a couple of months I decided the tractor for me was an L3800. I called the dealer and talked out a price we agreed on but once I got there and drove the...

I know there are a number of members who have the MX5100 and I am currently targeting the MX4700 just because it's near the top I want to spend. I know the differences between the two are: - 4 extra hp - turbo - adjustable 3pt arms Is there anything else that is different? The cost for the...

Good afternoon guy's, I just joined this forum looking for some feedback/opinions on these two tractors. My dad is currently in the market for a Kubota tractor and has narrowed it down to these two. He cant decide between the two and the big difference is the turbo on the MX5100. Has anyone...

It was a few months ago.. but took delivery of a MX5100 4x4 hst with FEL, draft control and 1 rear remote, 6 ft shredder, 6 ft disk, 6 ft box blade and front hay fork. Upgraded from a almost new Mahindra 2816 .. Just needed more room and HP. I bought it new, lucked out and sold it for close...

I have 75 acres that is mostly flat, dry and woods. I use a tractor for bushhogging, planting food plots, etc. I currently have a IH 384 and it handles all of my work but seems a little under powered. (May just be it's age.) I have the "itch" for a new tractor and I would like for it to last a...

My MX5100 with FEL arrived 3/19. I also purchased the HD bucket. I put about 3.5 hours on it Saturday, I cleaned-out part of the barn, and cut some brush. So far, so good.

After considering a L3800 (or deal on a L3400), I think I've decided on a 2011 MX5100. I have 50 acres of both field, pasture and wood and a 1,000 foot drive and decided the 5100 is generally a better fit for my needs. Discing fields, cutting small fields, tilling for veg crops, maintaining...

In 25 words or less: what is the difference in these two machines? Simple answers like "$5K" is not what I am looking for. I want to know how important the "deluxe" features are. Any insight will be appreciated.

I'm planning on buying the MX5100DT, 4wd with FEL and AG tires. The dealer says they usually fill the rear tires with methanol/water, but if I want the front filled they will do that as well. I will be using the tractor for brush-hogging this year, and only using the loader on occasion (mostly...

Interested in the opinion of others on this tractor. 2008 Mx5100 gear drive with FEL. 221 hours. Single owner. At the local JD store. They are asking 19,500. Is this a good price? Seems a bit high to me. Thanks for any thoughts.

Trying to decide if this is a good enough tractor for me. I have 86 acres with 15 acres of woods. I will use the tractor to haul wood to the house with the FEL and the 3 point hitch. I have ALLOT of dirt/clay piles from a dug pond that I will be moving to a new location. I mow with a 90"...

I've been lurking for awhile, trying to figure out a few things before purchasing a tractor. The tractor will be used for clearing snow out my 1/2 mile driveway in the winter, some brush (grass, weeds, saplings) clearing and possibly running a small baler or mower someday. The property is around...

I have read were the mx5100 is a fuel drinker. Is this true and if so how do the l4400 and mx4700 do. I'm real close to pulling the trigger on one of these models. Please advice. I dn't wanna buy sumthing and not be happy with my purchase. These are one of them questions that can't really...

I'm getting closer to choosing a tractor here. I started looking at the Deere 4105, but because of weight, only 2 range, no independent brakes, and no folding ROP's, I got away from that one. I like the Kubota MX5100HST a lot. Looks like the Deere 4120 is similar, but a little smaller. This may...

Simple question. Should I get a 6ft or 7ft box blade for the MX5100? It's got R4 tires that are filled and it's got a loader. Just wondering if 7ft. will be too heavy to pull. I've got the rear track at about 6ft. Thanks.

What should I look to pay for an MX5100HST with FEL and loaded rears? I would be using the special finance offer and not cash. - Dave

Hi everyone. My head is spinning here from all the information. I have a horse farm that I need to do some loader work, mow 5 acres with a finish mower, drag a horse arena, and plow some snow with the rear blade. I would like to stay under 25K for a tractor with fel. I was looking at a Deere...

Just purchased a MX5100 HST 4x4. While searching around the last couple of months, I have been debating on Hydraulic top link. I am having 2 sets of rear remotes added. I opted for one, then called back to add the second set. Is there a reason to have a third set. I ask this because I would like...

I went back to Kubota dealer and this is what I may be getting. MX5100 HST 4x4 FEL Box Grater Rear Remote Tires filled(Some Kind of Methanol mix or something, said it was kinda like the stuff you clean windows with) All this for 28,000...

I just dropped my tractor off today for a single set of rear remotes. Dealer price installed is $750. I looked at some different options, but decided to go the factory route. Who has the best price for fittings and couplers? What is the going rate per foot for hydo hose in your neck of the woods?

with a kubota 74" snow blower, ice chains, 351 farmi winch, and Wallenstein BXM42. With promised delivery before the new year. Thanks for all the info from you people, it helped in my decisions. Do any of you have hours on the Wallenstein BXM42? would like to know that this is a true work horse...

I've a new MX5100, but bought it with no frills. Now that snow removal season is here, I need to add a rear light so I can see to run the snow blower after dark. Any suggestions/experiences about this? Is it worth buying the Kubota kit? If not, where do I pick up the power to run the thing? I...

I have a relatively new (1 month old) MX5100 with front end loader and a 3rd function remote installed for a future grapple or thumb. A friend of mine has a 3ph hydrolic log splitter that he says I can use. Unfortunately I do not have any remotes located on the rear. Is there anyway I can use...

So I put together what I would consider a sizable package deal. It consists of the tractor with a Q.A. H.D. F.E.L. with replaceable cutting edge , extra valve and plumbing, ice chains, logging winch,wood splitter, Wallenstein 42 chipper, and a 7ft rake. I spoke with my local dealer and he worked...

I'm looking at a new MX5100DT with the FEL, Ag tires, 4WD. I am looking at a price of 25,600. With the $1000 off cash incentive program from Kubota it comes to 24,600. I'm told MSRP is 28,310. What do you all think? NC Retiree :cool:

I've been posing some scenarios here on TBN for a few days with some great responses and I'm getting a little closer to making a purchase. I'm hoping to get the same quantity and quality of responses on this question as my others. Okay this is a little bit of an apple to orange comparison...

Can someone tell me if you can get floor mat for the MX5100:confused: I haven't asked my dealer yet. I know it would probably be more expensive getting it from the dealer. Any ideas would be helpful!! I've got to get one! I cant stand scratching the floor surface, for i know will soon lead to...

Well I took delivery this morning of my new 2010 MX5100 HST. I got the quick attach FEL, and bucket, and 4X4. I got the R4 tires and had the rears loaded. It has the grille guard and best of all.....ORANGE. There are 5 dealers within 80 miles of me, and I checked with all of them. The best deal...

Can a Kubota MX5100 (50hp) handle a 7 foot rear grader blade? Will be used for snow removal. Manual says 72 inch maximum! Kind of surprised! You would think a 50 hp tractor could handle more than a 6 footer. Maybe a misprint? Jim

I normally use Shell Rotella T. The manual that came with my new MX5100 states: The CJ-4 engine oil is intended for DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) type engines, and cannot be used on this tractor. Rotella T is CJ-4 rated. What oil can I use in this tractor? Thanks, Jim

Hi Everyone! I'm the proud new owner of a MX5100 HST. I will need to get a wood chipper and am looking for recommendations on brand and type. I will be using it a lot since I have 107 acres of mountain property and have a lot of trees that will need to be cleaned up. Thanks, Ron

I'm in the market for a 50 hp tractor, four wheel drive, with a loader for my farm. Will be used only for mowing, dirt, gravel moving, etc. No hay bales or such. Leaning towards a new 2010 Kubota MX5100, four wheel drive, dual remotes out the back, and a loader. The lowest price quote I got...

Which would you choose? Same tractor. 5100 has turbo and 50 hp and the 4700 non turbo and 46 hp. Telescoping 3 point links on the 5100 and non telescoping on the 4700. 4700 $1k cheaper. Thanks for the input. Jim

I'm new to the tractor world and purchased a MX5100 with FEL, Ind Tires and Canopy. I also got a Land Pride Cutter RCR 1872. I have about 100 acres of mostly wooded land, about 15 acres to bush hog and roadways, food plots to cut and disc. A couple of questions, anything special to do while...

Dose any one use a 7' a three point bush hog with a mx5100 if so how dose it do ? I'm going to mow a grass field about 12" to 18' high . If it works what gear do you use

I really like it, it has plenty of power. It did great with the bush hog and the 8' disc. Some of my buddies looked at the smaller stature of the tractor and said that there was no way that it would pull the big 8' disc. I had no problem at all, with the 51hp it was nothing! I had the back tires...

I just bought a new mx5100. I need to know witch tires to get R4 or ag tires? I have 50 acres and 12 acres at my house lots of hills and rocks. I don't have alot of snow to plow. I live in the Ozark mountains. Just normal farming and cleaning up some lots from a tornado, some tree pushing. The...

Trying to sell my setup mentioned above for 22,000. I think it is a very good price, but have been getting a lot of folks saying it is too expensive for them. The tractor has 83 hours and in good shape. I just redecked the trailer with Pressure treated lumber last weekend, and the F250...

Coming up on the 100 hour service for my mx5100. Any idea what the local Kubota shop may charge for it?

Well, I finally ditched my old tractor and bought a spanking new MX5100 out of necessity. I have a 2.5 mile driveway that winds up over a mountain to our property. I was totally snowed in (over 60 inches and counting). So, called Messicks and they delivered the 5100 to the bottom of the mountain...

Stop at the local NH dealer who recently picked up Kubota, for parts for my haybine and took a look at a MX5100. Was impressed at it's simplicity. I am curious if anybody uses one for carring round bales 4x5. It looks like it would handle them alright. I also have a smaller barn it would...

I got a new MX5100 with a LA844 loader yesterday. Only had 30 minutes on it so far but am not impressed with the lifting power. The loader will not raise if very full of dirt. I also tried pushing the tractor backwards with the bucket, like I am used to pushing my old 2WD farm tractor out of the...

I have a new (50 hours) mx5100, and so far its a great tractor. However, I keep reading mention of hearing the turbo spinning down, and I don't think I'm hearing it. How obvious is it? Also, the one thing I'm not impressed with is the fue consumption. I'm told it will get better as the tractor...

My fiance is looking for a tractor. He is going to do alot of landscaping type work and will be using a front loader, a box blade, an auger, a scraper blade and a tiller. He will be doing this for a business so the tractor will be used quite frequently in alot of different jobs of various...

I am new to this website and very "Green" with respect to tractors as well. I am specifying a new Kabota MX5100 with a FEL, rotary cutter, disc, post hole digger and box blade scraper. I was wondering about some of the hydraulic valving configurations that are available. On the Kubota website...

I finally decided to buy the Kubota Mx5100 Dt with ind. tires, Fel, and 1 hydralic remote. I bought it for about $24,600. now im wondering which brushhog would be the best for me. I have to do some heavy cutting in some tight places and around trees. I was wondering what type of cutter to buy...

I'm looking for an additional tractor for bush hogging the pastures. I want 40-50 PTO HP. I currently have a 6' brush mower, I might consider upgrading to something a bit larger but will probably stick to the same size. I've been seriously considering the Kubota MX5100. I've had good luck...

I'm looking for a new 2WD tractor primarily for bushhogging pastures. Something to run a 7' mower. I've had good experience with Kubota over the years and have been looking at the MX5100. Today I checked at the Deere dealership and they have the 5055D which seems very similar except the JD...

I have narrowed my first tractor down to a M5040 (2wd) with FEL and the MX5100 (4WD) with FEL. I have received a quote on the M5040 for $23,700.00 and $22,900.00 on the MX5100. Both quotes include AG tires, Fluid in tires, and a 6ft Brushhog. I am torn between the upgraded M5040 and the 4WD...

I am looking to purchase a MX5100 (4WD) with FEL. Looking for any opinions, experience, or problems with this tractor.

I was pushing some underbrush with my FEL a few days ago and managed to knock my fan blade belt off with a limb. I am not sure how long it was off but I noticed it right before the temp gauge went into the red side :eek:. Do you guys think I will be alright? I let ole Bota cool all the way...

I'm looking for input between 2 tractors. The L4400HST and MX5100, I will be mowing roads and acreage. The MX5100 is $985.00 more but I think it for the extra HP it is a better deal. Any input from you Kubota experts out ther would really be apprecated. Thanks

Bought a mx5100 last year and so far it works great. This year I need to find the largest cutter that the mx5100 can safely pull. Looking at 10' cutters but curious if that is to big of a cutter. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

I have been looking into upgrading tractors and have come across the MX5100 with loaded R-4's. I would mainly use it for property maintenance on 50 acres of woodland and snow removal. In time I will be getting a Farmi winch for it.

I've been shopping for a 45-50 horse 4wd utility tractor for a few months. I'm new to tractors and Kubota, so I could use some help. I'll be using it in the woods a lot, planning to buy a 3ph winch as well. Also I will do some loader work, but that is secondary. I really like the m5040, but it...

I'm getting lost in the specs and finding it difficult to compare these tractors. I do lots of loader work and bush hogging. also comparing 400cx loader to la854. To anyone that owns a mx5100 is the 8f/8r transmission enough gears?? looking to spend $30g

I have a 4 acre field I am going to plant hay in and harvest it myself, then there is the neighbors field that is 8 acres that I am going to try to lease to grow hay. I know I have to prep the ground, since both mine and his are just weeds. I have a bush hog, and roto-tiller both rated for 40hp...

My new tractor (one of the above, as of yet undecided, buy bought early this week!), will require turf tires for some commercial landscaping work once per year. It sounds like there are a handful of different turf tires, the salesman will tell me all about them when I get back to the dealer...

As mentioned in my other thread regarding round bales- I am 2 days away from putting money down on a new tractor. I'll be getting a gear, 4WD with ag tires. The main job for this tractor is farm usage, but will have 'some' landscaping work and that is truly what will be paying for it so it needs...

I'm 2 days from putting money down on my first new tractor. I'm still caught up on the L4400 vs MX5100, (5100 is on backorder while 4400 is on a good discount being a 2007 model)... With either, and I do gather the L4400 can only go up to 800LB bales, but what attachment is best for round bale...

are there Hydralic remotes for the mx5100dt

We have 20 acres we have to grade a 600ft driveway,some heavy brushoging,and move about 60 5 by 5 round bales in the winter.Would the Kubota MX5100DT be good foe our situation?

I'm in the market for a box scraper for my Kubota MX5100DT to repair and maintain about 1400 feet of gravel driveway. Any suggestions on what brand and model would be a good fit for this usage? I'm sure I'll use the box scraper for more projects in the future but the gravel driveway is my main...

Hi, I'm looking to make a purchase this week and its basically narrowed down to the New Holland TT60A and the Kubota MX5100, both 2WD, mostly to be used for 72 inch bush hog and FEL (light to medium duty) work, but mostly cutting at this time. Prices are really close. Any input as to which...

Continuing the tradition here, I thought I'd share some pictures of my recent purchase, an MX5100. Having never owned or sat on a tractor before, I was a bit intimidated when it was delivered and they said hop on. Minutes later, though, I'm digging, leveling, and having fun. Smiles all around...

I've looked at (and driven) these three tractors that are in stock at a local dealer. All are about 45 PTO HP and any of them would do what I need (bushhogging, moving dirt/stone/snow, moving/stacking round bales with an FEL, moving materials with pallet forks). I'm also putting in 3000 ft of...

Yesterday was a great day, we became the proud owners of a MX5100 What a nice tractor for the money! It's equiped with 4wd, LA844 FEL, grill guard, dual rear hyd, work light. Our local dealer: Kuhns Equipment in Quincy IL was fantastic to work with. Our salesman was Vern and he made this one of...

Buying my first tractor is becoming more stressful than buying my house. I have looked and read and been to every dealer around. I think a couple of tractor salesmen are actually tired of seeing me. I have heard every story from every salesman about what I need and don't need-never the same...

I am lucky to have two Kubota dealers within 30 miles of me. Have been looking at the MX5100 Dealer A gave me a written price proposal for the one on his lot. It has 1 remote, LA844 loader, joystick, 72 inch bucket, grille guard out the door for $23,900 Dealer B (3 miles away from me) gave me a...

I hope to have a tractor in my driveway by the end of next week, so I need to make my final decision. I have three tractors to pick from. Kubota M5040, Kubota MX5100 and JD 5203?. 1. Which Kubota does the JD 5203 compare to the closest?5040 or MX5100? Reason I ask is the JD is cheaper than the...

Hi all I am new to TBN as far as being a member but have been watching the site for over a year now. I am finally getting close to being able to buy the tractor I want. I have my eye on the MX5100 and thought I would through out some prices and see what everyone thinks of them. This is in north...

Anybody know? I read that the MX5100, which replaced the MX5000, has a turbo charged engine and a syncro-shuttle transmission. I'm just assuming the turbo was added to offset the new 2008 emission standards because they are rated at having the same PTO hp of 44. I wonder if the fuel economy...
