Overview
A Messick's dealer rep walks through both the MX5400 and MX6000 from inside the cab, covering Kubota's model lineup logic, how net vs. gross horsepower affects cross-brand comparisons, what changed from the prior MX generation, and specific cab omissions like missing armrests and exterior mirrors that cost under $300 to add. Useful for buyers comparing the MX series to Kubota's L or M series and wanting frank commentary on value-versus-spec tradeoffs.
Posted by the Messick's Farm Equipment channel, a dealership, so the walkaround is sales-adjacent, though the presenter is notably candid about the tractor's shortcomings.
