- I had no choice...The Missus made me do it. I HAD to go buy new MX5400 to keep her happy !! So today I brought it home and unloaded it and provided marginally accurate answers to questions peppered upon me by the Missus. I have to admit I am not used to new equipment at all. Technology has changed dramatically over the 7 decades I've been walking around. So I floundered a bit on some of the grapple and third function valve descriptions but will hopefully be able to be more succinct and factually correct answering questions in the near future. But for now, you are subjected to my limited and potentially incorrect information. #Kubota, #MX5400, #grapple

Good to be a retired and have a good money coming in your golden years to live and buying stuffs like these, you guys lucky he got it made🤟👍
Oh heck yeah....I'd recommend retirement for anyone !! I've been dragging dead machines home for probably 45 years now so we figured one that runs and has good tires would be nice for a while !!. LOL. Thanks for watching. Have a great day.
Congratulations Wendell and Missus, that will make your task easy, maybe no more snatch blocks lol,
Hahahaha...Oh I don't know Jan. It'll do us good for a lot of tasks but I'm sure there will be projects beyond its capacity too. Thank you for the positive comment my friend.
Nice tractor Wendell.
Okay I guess I will have to look at a new tractor. Got to keep up with the Jones. "
Always nice to have one around that starts every time. 😁😎
Well, its not an easy thing to do...it takes a lot of mindful finagling to decide if, when and what. LOL But it will be nice to not have to tinker on something every other time its needed. (-;
Hahaha love the banter between you both. Congratulations on the new acquisition👍😀.
Thank you, I'm thinking I'll keep both of them a while...the tractor AND the Missus!! (-;
That's awesome very nice tractor I am jealous lol . congratulations that makes me happy for you guys it will great for the homestead looking forward to watching it being worked and I am sure it will do that .good job by the Misses taking us through the play by play and explaining how things work . can't wait to see it in use take care and be safe enjoy your new ride .
Good Morning Tom, it is going to be nice to have a smooth operating machine for a change. No more tinkering unless I want to use an old one. But then again, in their defense most of my 70 year old 'runners' are reliable enough for the most part. Have a great day....we were getting used to the nice weather and this morning its 5 degrees below freezing once again !!
Boy howdy that smile tells the story! Thankz Mrs!
Now I wasn't smiling THAT big....was I ? LOL. Dang, I guess you might be right Mike. I gotta admit it IS a pretty nice rig. Thanks for visiting again my friend.
Beautiful tractor 44. Congratulations!!!!
Thanks Bob...I'm sure it 'll get quite a lot of use pretty soon.
Absolutely brilliant commentary Missus! Loved it. I'm looking forward to seeing the "sad eyes" and "bonded pairs". Gave me a great chuckle this AM up here in the cold north land. 20 degrees this AM !!
AND congrats on the new tractor.
One thing for sure I never know what kind of buzz saw I'm gonna walk into when she is behind the camera !! We are glad to have provided the good vibes for the morning in the midst of the cold snap. Thank you for all the kind words my friend.
Always an add-on to acquire no matter how big the tractor.
Oh yeah, without a doubt. There's always something Frank. That's an easy burden to carry though. (-;
Looks like a nice machine! I am sure that it will serve you well.
Hot dang !! That's the plan anyway. Thanks Jared for the comment.
Congratulations Mr Wendell!! Man yeah, that is super nice!! " How did you get a hold of my camera " 😂😂😂🤣🤣 You and the Mrs never disappoint my friend, I love her questions, your reactions, and commentary!! Look fwd to seeing more of this soon my friend!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
All I know for sure is she sure loves putting me into a tight corner...!! Well, at least I'm telling the truth Nelson. I don't know a lot at all about the new stuff so it will for sure be a learning experience with at least a mistake or two in the mean time. Thank you for the kind comment concerning the Missus.
@@tractorman4461 I think she enjoys that alot Mr Wendell, the expressions are epic.. mainly because I know exactly!! Well that sure is a sweet new ride, can't wait for more sir!! 😁😁
@@Pennies_on_the_dollarIt'll be a learning curve for sure. I'm used to having to really work to drive my old stuff around here. And yes, the Missus does really like it.
@@tractorman4461 😁😁👍👍👍
I tested one of those when I bought my last tractor. They are a stout tractor with a bunch of lift capacity. Welcome to this century as the Missus would say HA!
Hi Tim
@tractortalkwithgary1271 hello Gary!
Hahahaha....out of the dark ages of rusty stuff and tinker-time on old tractors. LOL. I don't think we are gonna be short too many of the old ones though. A few, for sure. But it's time to move some down the highway anyway.
Congratulations!! What a beauty!!!!! You deserve it :)
Hahahaha....that's somewhat debatable !! (-; Oh wait, you MUST be talking about the Missus...right ?? Have a great day and thanks for stopping in for a visit.
After we get over the SHOCK of a New Working Tractor and starting up on first crank, power steering, Oh my my.
I know Tom....it sure IS quite a shock isn't it. LOL. Thanks for visiting today buddy.
Hey hey tm44 I like it. Nice tractor my friend. 🚜 the right color too.❤
Orange is the new RUST, don't ya know Dean. LOL I can't imagine a different color for a new machine....
Congratulations sir! Can’t wait to watch the upcoming videos
Thank you Joshua. We are really going to enjoy using it too !!
Congratulations! So happy for you folks. Enjoy.
Thank you Chuck. We both think its going to be big enough to do what we need for sure.
LOL! Great Line. Best day of the rest of it's life. :)) Congrats again T! Pretty exciting day!
Hahahaha....truer words have never been spoken. LOL. Thank you GP for the visit my friend.
Well how unusual, another tractor that’s the same color as those Finr TM44 T-shirts! All shiny and preddy! And you do a fine camera and narration Missus 44! So deserving of numerous squeezinz! Tippin too! The unloading video, so much more exciting than a small box! I recon this one will serve you better around the 44 Ranch, lift more, cozy seat and dare I say, a real TuTu Toter! So Many Thanks 44s and in the morn, the day after St. Paddy’s day, I’ll be Drippin, Tippin and Sippin your way inna morning! DJO
Well one thing for sure DaveyJO, there's a lot of difference between this and what I normally use around here. So I guess I'll keep both for a while...the tractor AND the Missus !! Yessir, we be sitting' anna sippin' right here in the kitchen starting out the new day tippin' towards the Eastern end of good old Pa. !!
Congratulations on your new purchase. I will say in my opinion the brake peddles on the left side will take some getting use to but will be much better when turning in slick conditions. Using the brake and the hydrostatic peddle on the same side is harder to use. A counterweight is a must. I also recommend a grapple from Everything Attachments. I have their Wicked 60 and love it. They are not the cheapest but are very durable, good luck and be safe!
I have plans for a substantial counterweight for sure. About grapples....I didn't realize just how hard it would be to find one to suit my needs and be reasonably priced at the same time. I DID finally find one and it will be on the way soon. I'm not too concerned about the brakes being a bit different than what I'm used to, it was just odd to see them there. Thanks for the thoughts and for the time you took to watch.
Oooooh! 😧 Nice and *shiney!* What a perfect addition to the operation Wendell. Thanks for letting him get it Mrs. Wendell 😁👍
Thanks for stopping by today Zane. We have been talking about it for a bit. I didn't want to bring it home in the middle of winter. So now there's no excuse !!
Well, at least it kinda made the Missus happy you have a tractor with paint on it. LOL This one should be able to handle 99% of the things you move around. Can't wait to see you testing the lifting limits of this one. Nice purchase! 👍👍👍
I've got. a few logs that are beyond its capacity...but I always have the backhoe to take care of those. I think she can't figure out what she likes the best, either the paint or the tires that hold air !!
@@tractorman4461 🤣🤣🤣
Stunned that you actually brought home a NEW tractor. LOL. Nice size and power in that one, and will get a lot of use around the property, I'm sure. Nice!
It should do most everything I need it to do. And still of the right size to fit in the same spots the bigger older tractors do. I figured it'd be a little odd to see so much shiny paint in the middle of all the rusty stuff !!
Man, Wendell, you don't fool around do you, when she tells you to 'go buy a new one' you take that to heart! Hahahaha!
Rear 'counter-weight' , how about a backhoe attachment? ( I'm really smiling here now )
The Narrator you have here is GOOD!
Hot dang a backhoe WOULD have make the perfect counterweight !! LOL. I gues I missed my chance Reg. LOL. Yessir, I gotta agree, the narrator did a good job....of putting me on the spot once again. (-;
@@tractorman4461 Aww, you handled it like a Champ, as I've come to expect. :)
Sorry Sir but i do not fall for it ( I had no choice...The Missus made me do it. I HAD to go buy new MX5400 to keep her happy !! ) Ok, now you have no choice to re home your others tractors ; ) This is a very nice open cab tractor that you have ; ) Nice Team Work with your fine lady !!! Now the big question is witch one of your team tractors will be re home ; ) LOL Cheers !!!
Oh my gosh...its true Dave, all true !! I had no choice. LOL Well, I might be stretching it just a little bit. (-; Time will tell about which one or two will go on the chopping block. I mean heck, they're all near and dear to me....maybe I'll start with the parts tractors. Yeah, that's what I'll do. Thanks for the idea mon ami, now I have someone to blame if my plan goes awry !! (-;
@@tractorman4461 LOL Be Safe Sir Cheers !!!
Very nice there Sir, my RK 37 just did it's first regen last week at 34 hours, yeah it took about 20 min and a 1/4 tank of fuel!!! 😤
Well I have no idea what to expect when it does happen, so at least now I know. Ugh !! I think the trick is keeping the exhaust temp elevated by not idling or having repeated short run times.
now thats a good cover
My sister in law had a cousin that was an old Marine. I met him a few short months before he passed. But he immediately went home after our visit of several hours and packaged up several new USMC covers and sent 'em to me. Then the Missus gifted this one to me just a few weeks ago. I wear them only on special occasions. This was such an occasion.
Nice tractor Wendell!
A whole lot of useable horse power!
That's what I'm banking on Gary. Without the Tier 4 requirements.
Hi my friend. Great talk with your Wife. Nice tractor for sure. As always I liked and shared and hope others will do the same. All my very best to you and yours.
Well, she is quite the conversationalist Bobby. Thanks for watching and sharing my friend.
Awesome tractor, the reason they moved the brakes pedals to left side, is so you still steer with the brakes while moving because it’s a hydrostatic, if it’s was standard they would be on the right side, i have B model and my brake pedals are are on the right side and and so is the drive pedal and you can’t you the brakes to steer with I’m sure you used you brakes to steer with on some of your older tractor its doesn’t happen very often but ie you need to you can now, good luck 🍀 and God Bless
That makes sense. I was just taken aback at the Dealers when I saw it is all. When discing plowed ground with the old row crop Masseys we always had to turn with the brakes. The front tires would just slide instead of turn in the soft ground pulling a heavy tandem disc. I just figured that was kind of minimal now with the front wheel assist. Thanks for the cool comment today.
@@tractorman4461 you’ll be surprised how lite the front can get sometimes, mine has fluid in all four tires and just the load alone makes the rear lite with just the loader let alone when you pick a load up with it, I understand my tractor is probably half the weight or even lighter but even tractors that are 60 to 80 Horsepower around here always run all four tires with fluid, but you’ll like your tractor they are nice it will take a day or two or maybe less and you’ll have it all figured out, by the way you have Awesome channel too, God Bless
@@joutdoorsmen23I have a plan for a custom ballast mounted on the three point. Hopefully it will work out as I am planning. The rear counterweight adds a LOT to ease handling good loads up front. I have approximately 450 pounds or more on the little B3030 and it really is the only way I could move some of the larger logs. I'm not expecting much trouble with most of them at all with this much heavier rig. Of course I DO have some that'll work the 65 hp skid loader or the backhoe pretty hard. I won't even try those with the MX. Thanks once again with additional input. I do appreciate it.
@@tractorman4461 you’re welcome yes I always put my tiller on my B2620 that’s makes a big difference
Congrats Wendell. Lookin good. Loader is a 1065kgs. I think that is kg load or 2343 lb limit. Maybe put a jump seat seat for the Mrs. It's so big ,it needs a copilot. lol😀
Hahahahaha....I'm not too sure I can talk her into THAT...but I might give it a try. LOL. The loader lift capacity was what I really liked.
Nice tractor this unit will be great for your sawmill and the Misses commentary was nice and refreshing. Your a lucky man ,don’t let her drive it she will take it over like my wife did. Enjoy the unit
Well I tried to buy two....a his and hers model, but I couldn't sell that idea to her. (-; Thanks for stopping in today Richard.
So happy for you, nice size tractor. And Mrs 44 did a great job
She normally keeps the purse strings drawn pretty tight...in a moment of weakness, she loosened 'em. LOL
Wow !! All those old tractors that you have must be feeling older and more useless like when the attractive young lady visits the retirement facility and the residents are reminded that their time is largely past and there is a new " Belle " of the ball !! Great channel !! One of these days I'm going to find a small tractor with a loader, they sure do maintain their value and are hard to find at a reasonable price !.
Hahahaha...yeah, I kinda feel sorry for the old ones. Probably out in the shed wondering which one will be the first to go..!! LOL. I think most of 'em are safe for a while at least. How far away are you because I have a fair sized IH with a loader that needs a little TLC that could be made into a good deal for someone that wants to do a little work. Its a 2504 Industrial with a really rough loader.
Got the same well done great machine
Awesome !! I hope you are having good luck with yours. This is my 4th one as well as the biggest. I just completed a nice heavy counterweight for it too. Thanks for watching.
I ran hoses to the back of my L2501 to the remotes and run the open and close with the hydraulic control lever.
Not as handy but much much cheaper
I had briefly considered that Gary, but decided to go ahead and do the 3rd function thing anyway.
@@tractorman4461 , if you are going to using the grapple a lot, you won’t regret it.
Wow great tractor 👏👏👏 congratulations
Thanks Tony. I've been looking for a while. Now I don't have to look any more.
Nice orange thingy. Congrats. I know you were hesitant to buy a new one, but you HAD to please the wife.
Heck yeah Terry....gotta do what ya gotta do to keep the Missus happy !! (-;
Hi Wendel Guess your wife let you buy a nice Easter present. Looks pretty sharp.
Hot dang Bob...she sure did !! Actually we have been talking and looking for a while now. I just didn't want to spring for it in the middle of the winter.
Nice
Thanks....we think so too. But it'll get its turn to get dirty pretty soon.
Very nice piece of equipment, Wendell. I’m sorry the missus made you buy it.
Yeah....it was a tough thing to endure, but I think I fared it well. If not, I'll just suffer through it a little more. (-;
Hi Wendell! Now you need to sell the AC WD45 to JD to help pay for it & also make Mary happy to boot. It reminds him of the one we had when I was a kid.
But then I wouldn't have a new motor to put in the W Speed Patrol..... That's the reason I brought this one home. Btw, I saw one for $400 on Marketplace two days ago. Not too far east into Illinois. Complete WD45 in a shed. It's probably gone by now.
Wendell, JD's trying to help you purge down your fleet of treasures & help make Mary happy that you are getting rid of some of last century's treasures.
Wendell, sell your WD45 to JD & Mary will think you're serious about downsizing. That would make them both happy. Then you can be on the lookout for another one to fix your road grader. Just a thought.
Good evening Wendell!
🤣🤣🤣
Good Morning Gary....Its another great day in the neighborhood !!
Specs list 46hp net at PTO.
.
the number on the loader is a metric rating. For lift capacity, so its 1.065 metric tons.
For reference a metric ton is very close to the same as a long ton.
.
So at max height, its English lifting capacity is about 2,200lbs-ish
Im sure down at ground level its waaaay more.
.
Usually war ship displacement, is about the only halfway common use of a long ton.
Thanks for the added information. I get a bit mixed up with the metric stuff...even with Celcius its hard to know how to dress. But that's just us American's. LOL. Yes, the HP rating is brake horsepower and that's totally misleading to actual net. On the loaders, I just double the number and add about ten percent.
🎉
Yessir, I'm kinda celebrating too !! Thanks for watching.
Wow! Very nice tractor! You might run out of work to do with a big unit like this!
Hot doggies I hope so. Then I can relax a bit more !! (-; Thanks for stopping in today Roger.
happy easter .
Good morning my friend. Here’s wishes for a relaxing and Happy Easter for you as well.
@@tractorman4461 did u get my pictures i
@@nigelgwillim644No, I didn't Nigel. I checked my messages, email & tictoc dm's. What platform did you use to send them..?? I'm sure i've just overlooked them.
ok happens@@tractorman4461
New tractor! now Wife say's sell all the other treasured ones? I have heard that myself,
Well Randall, I'm banking on her forgetting the conversation. But I DO need to move some of the parts tractors on down the highway.
Beautiful machine! Does it have auxiliary hydraulic outlet on the rear?
Yes, sure does Tony. I hope to keep it pretty for a while....I hope.
Why won't you let The Missus drive it?
Didn't I tell you get her a tractor?
Lovely video especially with The Missus
She DOES add a bit of a flair to the video Rick, that's for sure. Oh she will drive it when necessary. Heck if she can drive these 70+ year old machines with no power steering and lots of gears to grind, she should be pretty good with this one. (-: I was going to try for a package deal for a second one...but a 500i got my attention instead.
looks good buy wendell wich is better water ballast or weights personally never liked water/liquid ballast
I prefer weights my self. But the dealer said they had trouble getting weights and have for quite some time. So for now, liquid ballast will have to do. At least its not calcium chloride. That stuff rotted tens of thousands of rims over the years.
congratulations! how much of that thing is still made in japan?
I assumed pretty much all of it is made in Japan, but that is only a guess. I really have no clue. We as consumers have little to no control of that I think. It's a guess just where any of the parts of all the brands of tractors are built.
@@tractorman4461 excited to see what you do with it. Beautiful
@@covecarpentryA lot of use around the sawmill for sure, as well as moving dead stuff into the shop too.
Do MX’s have 3 gear ranges now? I thought they only had 2?
Yes, three ranges. I've not even been in High range yet back here in the woods. Around the sawmill, Low range is mostly what I'm using.
@@tractorman4461 must have been thinking of the gear drive version. Great tracker and awesome counterweight you made!👍
vi un shorts sobre este vehiculo
Sí, empezó con el cargador sentado en la grava desconectado del tractor. (-:
Now then, will the much older brother need to buy a New Tractor to keep up with you?? 😂
Well heck, I'm just trying to keep up with HIM !! He's got all the good stuff over at his place Chris. LOL
Tractor to far front on trail , too much tongue weight
Might have been....but that's the good thing about the 3500 dually or the F350 dually...you just about never notice unless its a much bigger load. Thanks for the added input today. Have a relaxing evening.
Way cool Tractor man. My tractor has almost 400 hours on it and hasn’t registered yet. I keep the throttle at 1500 RPMs or above, and I never let it just sit in idle. Bigger tractor means you can move bigger logs. 🚜🪵😁
The loader capacity and overall tractor weight was what drew me towards the MX series. I got tired of always being at the max with the littler tractors and the backhoe is just too cumbersome. Yes, I plan on maintaining higher minimum rpms and no idling around with it. Its all about exhaust temp keeping the system burnt out as I understand. Thanks for the comment. I learn a LOT from you guys.
