Read articles →This is a hands-on 200-hour maintenance walkthrough on a family-owned MX5100, not a dealer pitch or spec overview. It covers oil and filter change (including the hydrostatic fill quirk), radiator screen cleaning, grease points on pivots, kingpins, and the three-point hitch, plus front axle oil checks. The owner also shares candid long-term impressions and minor gripes. Best for owners wanting a real DIY service reference rather than a buying guide.
Posted by an owner/family member doing their own maintenance on a relative's tractor, offering hands-on impressions rather than dealer or professional expertise.
Kubota says to drain all the oil since there is no stop on the filter, but the owner spins the new filter on quickly, loses only a little oil, then tops it up instead.
Grease the front and back pivot fittings, the kingpin fittings, and the three-point hitch top link and bottom link, plus tiller joints if equipped.
No, this tractor does not have a separate reservoir for the final drive. Oil in the front axle flows down into the hub.
The four-wheel drive and high/medium/low switches are stiff and clunky to shift, since they are manual rather than electronic switches.
