My First Tractor

[2ndHand]

After surviving open heart surgery this spring thought it would be a good idea to get a tractor to reduce the bull work and have some fun at the same time. Bought a Kubota MX4800 with mower, grapple, and pallet fork.

Planning on adding a mesh screen to the brush guard to protect the grill. Here’s an image of the planned modification:

I love the grill and I see a winch. The winch would be a great idea if you use it in low wet areas.

Is that chain basket a factory option?

Congrats on your new tractor and to a successful recovery from open heart surgery. You picked the right brand.
I have owned a Kubota L345DT 4x4 with FEL for the last 27 years. Those orange tractors will run forever. Just change the oil and all filters at the recommended intervals. I also like that you went with a Land Pride mower. One of the best manufacturers of accessories in my book.

The chain basket is made by adding the wire mesh to lower portion on brush guard frame. It would nice if was a purchase option!

Thanks for the reply - I appreciate the info!! Looking forward to years of operating it. Someday I hope to get a 3 pt. air blast sprayer for my orchard.

I love that idea. I have a brand new L2501, same exact unit, just smaller engine and next stop to grab me some expanded metal. Already have the Kubota matching paint and MIG welder.
Photo day it was delivered. First add was the 3 3/8" chain bucket hooks. These hooks are made to weld on. I bought factroy Kubota orange paint. Caution, there is a different shade on earlier models, so not all Kubota orange is the same color. Welded large D rings down each side of the new trailer I hads to buy to haul this tractor (7X18)
