Read articles →This is an owner's maintenance-focused walkaround of a 2021 Kubota MX5400, not a buyer's overview. The owner shows how to check the combined transmission/hydraulic fluid via the rear sight glass, then tours the control layout: joystick lock, PTO engagement, regen buttons, diff lock, 4WD engage, individual wheel skid brakes, and seat suspension adjustment. Useful for current MX5400 owners wanting fluid-check and control guidance, not shoppers wanting performance or price info.
Posted by an owner who uses this tractor on his own sawmill and ranch operation, sharing hands-on maintenance tips rather than a sales pitch.

Yes, the brakes can work individually as a skid function, letting you lock one tire at a time in tight areas, but both are needed for parking brake.
