    B6100 snow plow

    I got my B5100 with a 4’ blade, which was just obnoxiously small. Upgraded to a 5’ blade and it’s about perfect.

    Oil filters, what else fits...

    I wouldn't use anything but Kubota. Super cheap insurance. I wouldn't put a fram filter on anything I paid more than $10 for.

    Garden tractor with locking differential

    All good points. If you are trying to gain traction without going to the expense of a 4x4 machine, adding aggressive tires or chains, loading the tires/adding weights, and adding weight to the rear of the machine are great ways to increase traction. I have a VERY steep piece of lawn on the...

    Snow tracks for subcompact tractor?

    Aggressive tread works great in soft terrain like mud and deep snow, not so well on hard slippery surfaces like ice and packed snow. Turf tires work great because there are more biting edges and surface area for the rubber to hold the snow. What gives you traction on packed snow is the adhesion...

    OK - what "NOT" to do

    As a teenager, I used to trim hedges that way for a guy I would work for from time to time. He's still a good friend to this day, but its funny how from the tractor's seat he never seemed to care as much as I did when I hit a bees nest with the trimmers. LOL

    b6100 hydraulic problems

    I have a 2510 blower for my B5100D. Yes, it is obnoxiously loud. As suggested by others, I use the 3-pt with a cable to lift and lower the blower and my blade (which I honestly think works better than the blower most of the time). If you want to use a double-acting cylinder on these machines...

    PTO Generator Use/Compatibility

    Thanks. Yes I am in the appliance field and am quite familiar with the sensitivity of modern electronics. Many of the appliances and devices designed for the US will not work properly in other parts of the world due to the 50 HZ electricity supply. There are listings available online of which...

    PTO Generator Use/Compatibility

    Well, I appreciate the info, and yes I want to get away from storing gasoline as I don't use it for much else other than the mower for my small yard. The reason I want to run on diesel is because I have an oil-fired boiler that heats my house. I'd like to install a second ~300 galllon tank so...

    PTO Generator Use/Compatibility

    Well thanks for all the input and yes that answers my question. I have a 6-circuit transfer switch wired to my panel to run my boiler, well pump, fridge, and lights/outlets in 2 rooms. This can all be handled easily by a 5kw generator. In fact, I currently have a 5kw Kubota gas generator. I...

    15 degrees F no hydraulics

    I had a very similar issue recently and it ended up being ice accumulated on the suction filter blocking hydraulic flow to the pump. Changed fluid. Good to go.

    PTO Generator Use/Compatibility

    My question is about the size/output of the generator vs the HP rating of the tractor/pto. My tractor only has a 12hp engine with 10 pto hp. many of the generators available start at 7kw and therefore require minimum 14pto hp to achieve full output. Question is can I run one of these larger...

    B4200 Safety Switch / Switches

    From my understanding, the B4200 is basically the same tractor as a B5100 which is what I have. If that is true, it is a very simple electrical system. You just need to get a meter on there and see if you are getting power to different components. Is there output from the starter switch to the...

    Need help with hydraulic failure on B5100

    Thanks. I actually changed the steering box oil last year and the first 2 teaspoons to run out was crystal clear water. Thanks for the reminder. I'll change it tomorrow.

    Need help with hydraulic failure on B5100

    Well, maybe this will help somebody down the road. Apparently water got into the gear case. I'm guessing through the shifter boot as I let the machine sit out in the rain most of the summer. Ice formed in the oil and plugged the strainer/filter for the pump. Problem solved, it just makes me...
