Read articles →This is a new owner's first-impressions walkaround of a base MX6000 with cab, not a dealer pitch. It covers his specific configuration and add-ons: Summit Hydraulics rear remotes (since Kubota's kit was backordered), third function valve, level indicator, wheel weights, cab controls, and comparisons to his BX for hauling and hydraulic flow. Useful for buyers deciding on optional equipment and cab amenities rather than core specs or performance testing.
Posted by an owner-operator (Ill-Informed Human channel) sharing candid, unsponsored first impressions of a tractor he just bought.
Kubota didn't have their standard rear remotes in stock, so the dealer added Summit Hydraulics instead, which made them power over electric rather than power beyond.
No, it is not standard. It costs about seventy dollars extra and was an absolute must for the owner since you can't see the bucket's position otherwise.
The MX6000 lifts much more, including full water tankers the BX couldn't handle, has bigger buckets, and offers higher hydraulic flow for things like log splitters.
No to both. He skipped air ride seating since it didn't feel worth the money, and avoided beet juice fill, using bolt-in wheel weights instead.
