CX2510 issue at the dealer

[Santa Craig Cringle]

My dealer just called me and has run into an issue with my CX2510 TLB with MMM. Apparently he’s discovered that the MMM and BH not only cannot be installed at the same time, but also use different brackets which unfortunately use the same mounting holes. Clearly I don’t want to deal with that to switch attachments. I’m thinking about giving up the MMM as I only have 1 acre and if I ever get a larger lot I could get a finish mower for the 3PH.

If I skip the MMM I lower the tractor price by about $2500. There are a few things I passed over due to budget that I’m thinking of getting instead: hydraulic top link, telescopic lower links, a 9” backhoe bucket, 3rd function valve for a future grapple...

Any suggestions? Already have a double edge blade, pallet forks, loader, bh with thumb, filled tires, & hst link. I am using this only on one acre primarily for landscaping. I passed over the grapple before because I don’t really have much brush to deal with at my current property.

Definitely get the Kioti 3rd function. Adding it later would be a PITA. The 9" inch bucket is nice but since switching over to the 12 " bucket I haven't gone back to the 9" Of course I only have 40 hours on it at this point. If you get a 3pt quick attach the adjustable lower links won't be helpful. For 1 acre I'd jump on Craigslist and find an old lawn tractor to mow with. Find one with a Kohler Command engine and you'll be good for years.

Forgo the MMM and get the other things you mentioned.... far more useful! You can get an RFM later if you need, at a better price too!

I’ve found uses for my trenching bucket. Easier digging depending on what your doing also use with my thumb for lifting stuff
