kubota mx5800

Popped the hood on my MX5800 to blow out air filters & radiator screen & saw the the coolant was just below the LOW mark on the little opaque overflow bottle. Is that normal for a cold engine (hadn't ran in days)? If not, do I just add coolant to the radiator when it's cold?

I have a Kubota mx5800. It runs with bush hog for about an hour then shuts down. It will restart after leaving it off for about an hour.

I've noticed that when I have a heavy load in my MX5800 grapple & I'm reversing uphill in 4wd that my front tires don't spin & lightly click like somethings not engaging. Is this a safety override so I don't blow the front axle or something since there's so much weight on it or is something...

What should the tire pressures be (front & rear) for my MX5800 HST w/ R4s? The front are "foam" filled & the rears are filled for ballast weight if that changes anything? Appreciate it!

Hi all.I am desperate to find a replacement seat for my mx5800 tractor. My seat has a hole which gives me a wet butt every time andd my suspension is broke too. Other than overpaying for a garbage Kubota seat again from dealer what do you recommend. Thanx!

Hello, first post, but I've used site for a lot of research. Tractor won't start or crank off key switch. Dash shows code P0606 which is some issue with PCM/ECM. It will start with a trigger jumping solonoid. I suspect it to be a safety sensor, but I can't find any additional ones that I haven't...

Found a grease fitting not shown in owner’s manual. Located on rear mount on 4WD front axel. Unlike the front mount there’s no breather plug. Grease or no grease needed? Doesn’t except much grease. Thoughts?

Went to use the MX5800 yesterday and as soon as it started up there was an explosion of cattle cubes coming out from under the hood. A rat had stuffed pretty close to a 5 gallon bucket full of cubes up under the dash and all on top of the engine. :mad: He also chewed through a fuel gauge wire...

Just did the 50 hour on tractor, both hydraulic filters also. My first oil change was at art and bills enco in 1966. Since then I致e changed....a bunch. This was by far the easiest oil change ever, for me. A drive shaft runs thru the sump, externally thank goodness. Because of that there are...

Hi All, We're going to a Kubota dealer today to look at a used MX5800 that was a farm rental. It has 260 hours on it with R4 tires. He said he would add a loader, 3rd function and load the tires for $29,500. What are your thoughts? He said he could get us a new one for about $1500-2000...

So I have a 1 YO MX5800 with 100 hours. When I am bush hogging with my 8' Land Pride hogg, my tractor will die after 4.5 to 5 min's running. Every time. It will restart and then die again. After sitting for a while it will finally run for another 4.5 to 5 min's. Sounds like a fuel filter I...

Here we go, another grapple thread... Basically because I got overloaded looking for a grapple. Here is what I have: Kubota MX5800 What I need to do: Pick up tree trunks large limbs misc branches from cutting down trees. I do not plan to use it to pop roots up or anything. I will...

Has anyone ever ran a tree/post puller with their MX5800/5200, Grand L 5460/6060 or NX6010/5410 series tractors? We have a lot of honey suckle to clear and I had a skid loader and tree puller that was incredible at pulling it out by the roots but everytime it rained it was 2-3 days before I...

We picked up a new 'bare bones' MX5800 this weekend for a pasture mowing tractor. I have seen a lot of MX's on here but most had loaders and other options so I thought I'd post this one. I bought it with zero options. I found a used weight bracket on ebay and added some aftermarket weights from...

Hello TBN! I finally created an account after reading a ton of helpful advice on the forum over the past few months. The info I found here proved invaluable during my buying research, so thank you to everyone for creating this very useful resource. So after my several months of research I...

While I am pretty good at understanding most things, Hydraulics are still a bit of black box for me. I know that my MX5800 has a total Hydro system gpm of 14.4 (9.5 for pump flow and 4.9 for Power Steering). I plan to purchase new Danuser hydraulic Auger, either EP6 or EP10. The EP10 says...

Hello! I will be picking up my mx5800 this week and am looking forward to the upgrade from my 30 hp new holland TC30! The dealer is adding third function and 2 rear remotes as we speak. I plan to add hydraulic top and side link to help speed up the grading/crowning process on my 1/2 mile...

I'm looking to purchase a new grapple soon & have been reading through the forum posts on grapples. It will be used on my MX5800 (~60 Hp) for brush & logs. What size (width) should I be considering? As of now, the top 2 on my list are the following ones, just not sure which is the best for logs...

I am in the market for a Rotary Cutter for my MX5800 with 50 HP PTO. After some research I was planning to order a Woods BB720 (6'). Just looking at CL and there is a BushHog BH27 (7') available with limited use which has a good price. My concern is the BH27 may be a bit too much cutter for...

Like the title says, occasionally she'll start to stall out on me but if I let off the gas it idles back up. It almost seems like it could be the sensor under the seat? Would it help if I adjusted the seat suspension adjustment handle so it's more plush / less stiff? It's very hilly here & now...

Here is where things are at with me. I currently own a five year old L4400 all paid for. I desperately need a grapple for quite a bit of work waiting and ongoing on my wooded and prairie property. I have decided to go with a Land Pride 60 grapple weighing 400 lbs. My two choices are: (1)...

Hello, I checked the forum and most of the discussions are about whether to get wheel weights, what size/how many, and where to buy them from. I couldn't find anything about mounting wheel weights, especially that are around 100 pounds. I searched youtube and only found a couple decent...

I had some threads gathering help from everyone trying to decide on what to do. I owned a 4020 with a 7ft mower and was a very reliable tractor, but no loader, very tall! I was contemplating keeping the 4020 and just getting a small, sub 25 hp tractor OR something in the 40 to 50 range and...

The parking brake on my 5800 doesn't hold as well as I'd expect. Is this an easy adjustment I can do myself instead of having to take it to the dealership? If so, how do I tighten it up?

I've read the manual twice & am still confused by the regeneration modes. Seems like there are several different options & I have no idea what to do when my MX does this... Can someone explain in english what I should do haha? Thanks!

Got a new 5800 today and love it! Managed to get in a few hours of bush hogging also with a LP 8' double spindle pull type. So much nicer than my little Deere and a 5' cutter. Onlyst thing is the new 5800 sure does seam to generate a lot of heat. Pretty warm while bush hogging today and the...

Been shopping for a tractor for a few months. Finally sold one of my little tractors (JD 4200 w/ FEL) and I'm keeping a little JD 870 for the garden. And I've lowered my sights a little as I thought I wanted a JD 5075 or equivalent Kubota. Just can't justify that much tractor and the price...

So I see a lot of people recommending the Ken's Bolt On Grab Hooks for the bucket. I'm looking at installing 2 of the bolt on (not welded) grab hooks on my MX5800 roughly in-line w/ the loader lift arms (from what everyone says). I'm running 5/16" G70 chain, which grab hooks should I get? I've...

Hello, I'm purchasing a 2018 MX5800 that will be delivered soon. I'm kicking around adding wheel weights to this tractor. I'm already getting Rimguard filled rear tires to specs, which should add about 550 pounds per tire. I've owned an MX5100 & an MX5200 so I'm familiar with this model &...

Think this might be my last ? re: the new MX5800HST. Well... probably not haha. Is the L2235 a good bucket or should I get a heavier duty one? Will be using the FEL for dirt work, rocks, logs, & pretty much everything else you can imagine. I'm hard on equipment so don't mind upgrading if I...

Kubota MX5800HST w/ R4s. I'm getting my rears ballast filled but they asked if I wanted the fronts slimed. Pros/cons?

Do they make a rubber floor mat for the MX5800? Either Kubota OEM or aftermarket?

Will be purchasing a MX5800HST w/ SSQA LA1065 loader soon & was going to wait on the grapple but think I'm going to bite the bullet & order one. Main objective is to move logs but might move some brush & possibly some rocks (if that won't hurt the grapple). I don't know much about grapples so...

Got it narrowed down to these 2 tractors. When does the turbo on the MX5800 shine & when would I be better staying w/ a MX5200? Work will consist of a steep mountain property - clearing trees, downed debris, moving rocks, bush hogging a little, property is steep & 1,500' elevation. Other...

It's a stretch but I was curious to see if anyone knows of a way to get Kubota front fenders for my MX5800. I don't even know if Kubota makes fenders for them? Messicks was unable to get anything for the U.S. With things starting to thaw, the sandy field is starting to throw the mud around a...

New to tractors I just ordered an MX4800. The sales Lady told me it would be a Great fit for what I need it for. Mostly loader and Backhoe use with very little PTO demand. My question is what is the main difference between the MX4800 and the MX5800 if you are not seeking HP for the PTO. This...

Im looking to purchase a tractor that will be used for a bit of everything on a hilly and woodsy homestead. - 4WD - Heavy, Wide, Stable - HST - FEL - with 3rd function - 40+ PTO HP to run a decent Brush Hog and my Chipper Shredder - solid backhoe that will be used for digging stumps, laying...

I put my year old MX5800 and BH92 hoe through it's first workout this week. I dug out a shale bank to level an area for a shooting range. I put 8 hours on the clock, mostly ripping red shale with the hoe, using 11 gallons of fuel in the process. I probably could have done it in much less time...

I've been running an mx5100 for 5 years. It's been a great tractor. But I need just a bit more pto hp to run my airblast sprayer in the orchard. The 5100 runs it until I start up a hill and then it bogs down I little. But I don't want a physically larger tractor. I noticed the L6060 gives 53...

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...

I borrowed an MX5800 this morning. I didn't check the fuel level visually in the tank, evidently the gauge is off. The tractor died, I checked the tank, no fuel. I've put fuel back in. It turns over, but won't start. I'm pretty sure its in vapor lock. I know I need to purge the air out of...

We have a L3800 with which we use a Titan ballast box. We have this ballast box up to about 750# including its weight, sand and 5 suitcase weights we put on top of the sand. We have a MX5800 on order. The MX will have a LA1065 FEL. The heaviest attachment we will have on the FEL is a 4n1...

I've been researching tractors for weeks and I think I've narrowed my selection to these 2 tractors. The Mahindra 3550 and the Kubota MX5800, both HST 4WD. I'm having a tough time deciding between these. I like them both... Someone give me some feedback please. Dealers: The Kubota dealer...

Anyone running a really big brush hog on their MX? Been shopping for a while and an MX10 just popped up for a reasonable price so I'm doing big my research :anyone:

Got a WR Long 72" front blade now (the lighter one for compact tractors) that I used on my L3901 but it seems a bit small for the MX. WR Long makes a 84" and a 96" front blade for compact tractors. They make a heavier duty one but I think the lighter one would be better for my gravel...

Hi everyone, I'm new here, and have never owned a tractor in my life. In fact, I've never really lived rural until about a year ago. Here is a little description of our situation. My wife and I purchased 20 acres of forest/hills/pasture in a mountainous area. She is a doctor who took a rural...

In order to get the hydraulic tilt cylinder to be in mid stroke when the rear blade is level, I had to use the original right side adjustable lift rod on the left side. The original non adjustable left lift rod had two adjustment holes. One would let the blade tilt a lot to one side and very...

Doing the initial transmission oil filter change on my previous HST L series tractors was always a messy task. I had to remove the old filter and install the new one as quickly as possible while oil poured out of the filter housing. I would always lose between 1 and 2 quarts in the process. I...

Dealer gave me a ballpark number of $29,400 with front loader and R4s, and can finance 0% for 84 mo. with 20% down. Not sure if I could bargain to have one or two remotes included, or if not, what a fair price would be? Thanks in advance for any feedback and/or recommendations you may have...

I just finished my second regen on my MX5800. The first one occurred at exactly 30.0 hours and the second at 60.0 hours. The owners manual led me to believe that the regen cycle was dependent on sensors in the particulate filter and exhaust system, not hours. Is this just a coincidence? Has...

I am in the market for a new TLB, I currently have a 1996 L35 that has worked its heart out for me and is beginning to need more and more attention. I do all my own work and I love working on the tractor as well as my other equipment, but sometimes tractor work needs to be done without...

The maintenance schedule in the manual states engine oil & filter changes should occur after the first 50 hours and then every 400 hours after that! 400 hours between oil changes? I put around 200 hrs. per year on a tractor. Does that mean I change the oil every 2 years? I thought it must be...

I just traded my L3430 HST and BH90 backhoe for a new MX5800 HST with BH92 hoe. I had the dealer add 3 OEM hydraulic outlet ports and an OEM top & tilt kit. Since the tractor was delivered with the BH92 hoe attached, I installed the 3 point hitch and top & tilt kit myself after removing the...

Ok, so I believe that I have narrowed it down to two machines for my first tractor. Massey Ferguson 2706e or Kubota MX5800. Here are the details on both: Massey 2706e => TractorData.com Massey Ferguson 2706E tractor information Kubota MX5800 => TractorData.com Kubota MX5800 tractor information...

I'm very impressed so far. I was looking at 5200's but after shopping and getting Barlow's pricing I got the 5800. When I got to the shop it had 2.1 hrs on it and by the time I tied it down it had an even 3. First day I played around with it but nothing serious and got it up to 9.1 hrs and...

I am in Idaho have a quote of $34,850 for a MX5800 with the LA1065 loader and ag tires. I haven't tried any negotiating yet but just wondered how that looks in comparsion to what anyone else has seen. The dealer is local to me and has been good to deal with on other things so I would prefer to...

Just saw on the Kubota site they have released a new M model, an MX5800, 61.4 hp with HST. Tractors - MX4800-MX5200 Series | Kubota Tractor Corporation Looks real promising with the higher hp and still with the HST.
