2006 Kubota B3030
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 around my property. Here is the first video; just a short clip of it pulling a 7' box blade on my driveway:

Thanks! I've been dragging the driveway once a month for the last few years; we have the flattest, smoothest, most even gravel drive I've ever seen!

Your neighbor has a good neighbor.
I've watched a few of your videos on you-tube. Good stuff. I'm glad you share your talent.

What attachment do you have on the 3 point hitch in this video (The one where you are clearing brush for the neighbor.) ? I can't see it well enough to tell what it is. I usually leave the scraper box on mine when I am doing this sort of work to provide additional rear end weight. Do you have ballast in the rear tires? I ordered the bucket guide rod with my MX5100, but it has not arrived yet. I have been waiting since August 16th for it. This tractor is truly amazing for its size. I have been doing a lot of loader work with it since I got it in August and I am amazed with what it can do. The toothbar makes an incredible difference with the bucket. I custom ordered a flat toothbar for it, but it is not working as well as I had hoped. I knew the flat one would be limited, but it keeps popping off teeth even with light work. I wanted to be able to back drag without taking off the bar. I have re-welded all the teeth, but I don't think it will be able to dig in rocky dirt without losing teeth. I ordered and received another standard toothbar and I am going to drill some more holes in the bucket (The holes for the flat bar won't work for the standard). And, I will use it to dig out the dirt and load in the trailer and used the flat toothbar for cleaning a pond and using that for the topsoil after it composts. I knew a 70" flat toothbar would be problematic when I ordered it, but I had to try! Nice videos, thanks.

Cool video! Got to love the MX5100 as I just got mine last week. It's a bull with plenty of power. I still have to go light with it as it's still in the break-in period but so far, I have been impressed! Keep up the vids as they are very good.

It is a 2" receiver hitch that I built for moving my trailers around. I'll try to remember to take some pics of it and post them up here. It may look a little confusing in the video because I have 2 additional receiver tubes on it that are used for holding additional drawbars. That way I don't have to hunt for the correct ball size; I always have 2", 2-5/16", and a pintle hook available right on the back of the tractor. I have built a couple of them for friends that have tractors.

Do you have ballast in the rear tires?
Yep; the tires are loaded. I normally leave the blade on for doing loader work as well, but the driveway was a little tight and I didn't want to clip the neighbor's garage or house.

This tractor is truly amazing for its size. I have been doing a lot of loader work with it since I got it in August and I am amazed with what it can do.
Me too! I've been impressed from day 1. I really liked my B3030, but this is SO much more machine.

I plan on posting a few more videos as I have a chance to film them; posthole digger, pallet forks, more loader work, etc.
