Small tractors cost nearly as much as bigger ones.

Thanks Tom!

DO NOT BUY ANY KUBOTA PRODUCT I BOUGHT A NEW KUBOTA LX 4020 TRACTOR TO USE FOR A SNOW REMOVAL BUSINESS IN BRIAN HEAD, UT. I HAD TO PURCHASE FROM A DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO AS IT WAS THE ONLY KUBOTA DEALERSHIP WITHIN A 1000 MILE SEARCH TO HAVE THE TRACTOR I NEEDED FOR THE PURPOSE INTENDED. The Dealership, Wickham Tractor in Fort Collins, CO sold me the tractor and added Howes diesel treatment to the tank as well as selling me the remainder of the bottle to use to prevent the fuel from jelling. I Used as per specs. Tractor was purchased on 11/21/23 and I picked it up and transported it back to UT. Tractor was in operation for 17.2 hours before it would not start. Local Kubota dealerships said they would not come out to try to fix it as we did not buy it from them. Took it to Las Vegas, NV, as they were closest Kubota dealership, dropped off on 1/8/24 at 730 am. Kubota dealership said the fuel smelled funny so it wasn't covered under warranty and said $12000.00 plus to fix. The DPF was completely clogged and the only codes were low temp MAF sensor and no communication with EGR. Western area rep said there was no fuel to test because I drained it. This is a Lie. Had more than 6 gallons of fuel in it when i dropped it off. I have all the emails and correspondences and text messages, proving they denied coverage for adding a fuel additive. Sergio at Kubota customer service said, “When I put fuel in the tractor it voided warranty.” Apco, the Kubota dealership in Las Vegas, sent out the injectors for testing they came back as bad due to fuel contamination on 1/23/24. Kubota persisted in their point of me putting bad fuel in the Tractor. When I called the tester, I pressed about the fuel contamination. The person who did the test, said it was visible metal in the injectors that most likely came from the high pressure fuel pump. There was no metal in the fuel tank, fuel filter or fuel water separator. The dealership i bought the tractor from said they were the only ones that could help me at this point due to Kubota policy. Eddie at Wickham tractor told me I needed to bring the tractor back to them, 1367 miles round trip. and they would sell me a new one because I had broken this one. And would see about trying to fix the one I had already bought for a discount. I transported the tractor back to Greely, CO to Wickham on 1/18/24 they tested the fuel that was still in the filters and it came back as fine 2/8/24 so they were going to replace the entire engine. This could take between 3 to 9 months. My warranty coverage says all warranty work to be completed within 30 days. On 2/28/24 I found out there was internal Kubota Service Bulletin that came out to all the dealers the week before I bought the tractor stating the very problems my tractor was having. They knew this, and still denied coverage, and finally, when I presented this fraud to Kubota, on 3/7/24 Wickham tractor said they were going to replace the tractor with a new one, but wouldn't give me a timeline of when I would get a new one and I would have the expense of picking it up from them verses a local dealership. These delays have cost me my business and reputation to move snow I had to pay out my competitors and cancel and refund all my contracts. A service bulletin for this tractor was issued before I bought it stating this very problem. and it was to be fixed at Kubotas expense. They knew the problem existed, they tried to blame it on me for adding fuel supplement, they tried to coerce me into buying a new tractor on top of the broken one so i didn't lose my business. they refused to cover the cost of repair until i proved their fraud, and intent by pushing the narrative and then changing and deleting emails. I have all emails and correspondence showing the timeline, the fraud and intent.

I have same tractor and box blade and love it. The larger box blade on the MX is a must at least for me. I do a lot of work in the woods lifting, pulling and pushing trees and the added weight of box blade helps. I used to own a B3030 - also a great tractor for what I used it for but needed something bigger. My biggest surprise regarding the MX6000 vs B3030 was the fuel consumption. My MX does not sip diesel, I know its a bigger tractor / engine / weight, but I quickly went to Vevor 65-gallon fuel storage with pump. Standing on wheels pouring from 5-gallon containers was ridiculous.

Excellent review, thank you! I am in the process of purchasing this tractor, do you regret not getting the Ag tires? My sales person recommends them but I am also planning on doing some finish mowing so the Ag may be too aggressive for me, what are your thoughts?

I love that grapple, and the tractor! I have the same setup, only with a cab 🤑

What is the total length of your tractor setup from FEL tip to farthest end of your box blade?

What is the total length of your MX6000 with LA1065 FEL With your Land Pride BB3584 attached tip to tail? Do you have a Quick Attch

Thanks for the video. I have a MX 6000 also and I’m looking to get a grapple here in the next couple weeks. Are you still happy you got the 60 instead of the 72 and has anything bent on it yet? I would like to use mine to load logs on trailers also .8 foot and as big as diameter as I can lift, hopefully 24 or 26 inch anyway Thank you.

Thanks for posting and doing the review, I'm looking at buying this tractor and it helps to have a real review.

In Australia Kubota doesn’t sell the MX6000. They sell the MX5200. I have one and it looks to be very similar to the MX6000. The loader is lower rated than the loader on this tractor but again they look to be very similar. I don’t think these tractors are well suited to clearing land. They are designed more for doing work in cleared land. They are a bit too fragile to be a land clearing machine. They can do the job but it has to be taken slowly and carefully, otherwise something might snap, bend or break. We like our MX5200. It’s strong, reliable and capable.

Hey Tom what is the total length of the tractor with FEL and the box blade..tip to rear of box blade?

How is it digging dirt?

Mr.Tom have the Mx5200 (@54hp?) Gear-drive shuttle shift 8×8 with the BH92 backhoe & same tires. With 7years & 1200hours of Totally Flawless profomance... & ZERO PROBLEMS. Just wish l would of let them "Have their tool box" & saved the 45cents on the Purchase Price of 41,580.°°$. Did "jack-up" both of the "Buck-board" seats( for more visibility & clearance's). Also "Supped-up" the slooowww hydraulic's just by changing some hoses & FITTINGS by 40%!!!( pressure & lifting profomance stayed the same).Also "Swaped-out" the Origional HD,with cutting edge - Heavy-Blast-Furnass- low volume- half SCOUP loading- Loader Bucket with a "Miricale-wonder- does Everything-BETTER -78" Skid-steer Loader bucket. These are "Good-Tractors"; but it is like an "old-ford" compaired to my "other" Massey-Ferguson 1736m power-shuttle-CADILAC. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio and happy safe tractoring. Best wishes with all your endeavours.

those large front tires a great. when you have the L series you feel inferior to your buddies with real tractors! lol

they build the perfect tractor then put loader control up high and the treddle pedal. that was the two things that made me buy a different brand.. all in all that is one fine machine. i play with logs with a fransgard 950 log grapple and open station to i dint wreck cab

i have the same size tractor. 3 $200-250 adds well worth it are cutting edge for bucket. rear hydraulic top link and pats easy change

Great video! I’ve got an L3301 from the dealership, had it 3 years. These tractors look fairly similar, I’ll have to look into it and see the differences. Anyway I’m gonna hit the subscribe button too! Edit: your tractor is the next size up from the one I’ve got, looks similar but must be the video!

Can't tell the dent. I just bought the L4802, excited to get started working it.

Thanks for the great video. Awesome information and I look forward to more videos

Those bolts came loose on my LP rear blade too. Lost one in the snow.

I'm looking at the 35 series box blade for my Massey Ferguson 263. It's about 75" outside the tires, and I'm thinking about the 78" model. I have a tilt and top kit too. Thought about an 84 inch, but didn't want too much for the tractor, and with the side load of tilting it, thought it would be better to just clear the tires. I didn't want it to pull the front of the tractor sideways. Tractor is 2wd, but I have front and rear weights, and it's a fairly heavy tractor.

Got the same for my mx6000

I think its a good size for the 6000 and your tractor handles it well 👍🏻🇺🇸

Awesome 👍🏻🇺🇸and the hoses look good too

man you living the life . thanks for explaining how you loose capacity w too big.

Spec. Says weight is 250lbs. For the 6 series'

I have this grapple on my LX 3310 ! I know it is over kill for my tractor but I watched the videos on the smaller size and didn’t want to have problems with bending anything and I really think the extra large protective plates help with limbs coming through into your grill! I have picked up some boulders and column rocks and have not bent the lower tines! My tractor is a bit small and lacks in pushing power to get full use of root digging capabilities of this grapple but I would buy it again if I needed to!

I think that you made a great choice if you are interested there’s guys that made some videos of Grease fittings and a grapple it’s pretty cool how he did it he’s from Canada I’m not sure the name but Google it you’ll find it

Have the same set up you have. The weight is key to why I got the bigger box, the smaller box blade will bounce unless you are using on soft material.

I had the same model you do on an L4060. It seems like the grease zerks were tapped into the pins themselves. I used mine to pick up rocks, broken concrete slabs, etc and never bent one. I’ve see a video of a guy who did while abusing it moving boulders. Personally, I would not recommend welding a bar for support; as that will limit its digging ability. Just my 2 cents. The rakes on the back side of the tines are for raking brush, etc.
