"I bought this tractor new from a local dealer. I haven't had any problems at all, it's used to maintain about 20 acres of farmland. I also purchased a disc & bush hog with it, this tractor handles all implements very well ( also have gill & box blade). I have no complaints. After shopping other brands this was the best deal for the money."

"I bought this Kubota Tractor strictly for loading materials. I have used it a lot for that purpose. For brushhogging, I use a MF135 which is great for brushhogging and other yard work. "

"Bought this tractor to help maintain 17 ac. Run a few head of cattle and have approx. 9 ac of woodlands. Tractor is always reliable with plenty of hp (50) for what I need. Have red clay soil and wish I had gotten 4 wheel drive model."

"Good tractor, very reliable, plenty of power for utility work as well as light farm work. We use it to brush hog, plow snow, split firewood, cut, rake, and bale hay, plow smaller feilds, disc, cultipack, and cultivate. Only a 2 wheel drive but goes through mud pretty good."

"I use this tractor lightly (as you can see by the hours) around a small farm, and mostly to assist in fetching / moving logs for my sawmill. I purchased this tractor in early 2011, and at the time it had 142 hrs on the meter. The owner had purchased it with a front-end-loader w/6' bucket, box blade, post hole digger, 6' bushhogg, root rake attachment for the FEL w/hydraulic grapple jaw and an 18' trailer. I am very pleased with the performance of this machine! A lot of power in a little package."

"Just new to this Japanese machine. Had a 1967 MF135D with FEL for the past 25+ years and for the most part really liked it. But I wanted a 4wd tractor and loader hydraulics that were independent of the 3 pt hitch. So I bought the used Kubota (traded in the old Massey) In terms of power and weight they are roughly comparable. (I trailer the tractor several times a year so wanted to keep weight under 6K). So far no significant issues with the Kubota but I do miss some features of the old girl - things such as the 2 stage clutch and multi-power. A two stage clutch is particularly useful when operating a snow blower. Another comparison/gripe - the Massey achieved 540 rpm PTO speed at 1700 engine rpm with engine rpm to spare. The Kubota has to be full throttle to achieve the 2700 engine rpm necessary for 540 PTO rpm. As such I doubt that the 540 PTO speed is matched with the peak torque of the Kubota engine (have yet to confirm this), but I do know that the Kubota is much louder than the 40 year old Massey when running at 540 PTO speed. Too soon to make a fuel consumption judgment but I suspect that at full throttle the Kubota will be more thirsty. I do like the wider loader bucket (6') on the Kubota. In summary, I have owned this tractor for less than a month and have only put a few hours on it - the work being mostly snow blowing, snow pushing or back-blading. So far no issues, but then we have had a very low snow winter thus far!"

"Have been very pleased with my MX-5000. If I had it to do over, I would get the same tractor but with 4X4 and a front end loader. Little trouble, easy to maintain, easy to drive, and does everything I ask of it."

"My 04 MX5000 is a great machine. I haul everything from trailers to hay with my MX5000. For a compact tractor it has plenty of power and most of the basic functions that any small farm or contractor may need. Pound for pound Kubota did a good job of producing this model. I really like the contractor tires on it. Buddy and I have a commercial mowing business. He runs a kubota 45hp tractor just like I he loves his machine. I have only had one flat in 7 years. I mow commercial lot's, empty lots in subdivisions, pasture, rake, square bale, clean ponds, and redo drive ways. There has been times my machine runs for over 12hrs straight and does well on fuel. For someone wanting to purchase a universal machine they can't go wrong. There are downs sides and ups to each machine though. "

"This is a very strong tractor for its size. High ground clearance and AG tires make this a go anywhere tractor. No service issues, routine maintenance is a breeze. Very good value for the price."

"Great tractor, the $X$ feature has been a life saver. Easy to work on, great quality for the money."
