I'm looking at buying a kubota for doing various jobs around my market garden, the most important will be for power harrowing the beds, the beds are 80 - 90 cms in the pollytunnels but I would like to be able to do slightly larger beds outside maybe 1.2 metres, will a b7001 or b7100 be able for that size with a power harrow? Also the beds are slightly raised will i have a problem with compaction from the wheels? Should I go for a tractor with a wider wheel base that will put the wheels in the paths and not on the bed? Any help would be greatly appreciated..I've had enough of digging beds by hand!

The tractor will have the power to do the job and you will have some tread compaction if the unit has the factory R2 Rice and Cane tires (B7001).

The rear wheels are fully adjustable on the B Series, so you should be able to come up with a width on the rear axle that will work.
