I have a potential buyer for my tractor and all the attachments. I've been kicking around the idea of selling mine to upgrade to a larger tractor with a front end loader. Being broke kinda sucks because I was tryin to sell mine and replace it right away with a larger tractor. And not have to shell out more money. I've been keeping an eye all over for another Kubota in the 20-30 hp range with a FEL but the fel brings top dollar on used tractors.

UUGGHH! I reckon the quest continues and I'll have to buckle down and save up for what I need....

Yea, I think you are going to have to wait and save up. Simply put, the only way that you will sell a B6100 2WD and some implements and have it equate to the money necessary to buy twice the tractor with a loader is if you 1) stumble on to the deal of the century (or a very nieve seller), or 2) find one that is worn out and worth little.

I was thinking of selling the tractor with the implements at around 4 to 5 thousand and using that money to get what I need. But then again with a larger tractor I'd have to go buy all new larger impliments or at the bare minumin a grading box. So yeah its going to take quite some time to save up and get things right.

I'm fed up of turning down job's with my landscape business because its more then I can handle with my B6100. I will glady accept any and all donations to my tractor fund! LOL

The "B" series have a Cat 0 hitch while the "L" series run Cat 1 so you would definately want to change implements.

Your idea should get some traction but how much is left to find out.
Good luck getting more Orange. :D:D:D

Carl the company has been around for over 25 years. My dad owned it before I did and I took it over.

And my B6100 has a Cat 1 3pth. I can use many of the same impliments that my dad has for his L275. I dont know where your buying your B series Kubotas at Aquaforce!

My first Kubota was a B6000E which had the reversed PTO and my 3 point used a CAT0 drawbar that was only 20" wide. That is how I got the tractor so I don't know if it was changed to that. I always thought it was stock that way. Interesting that those here have CAT 1 on a "B" Kubota.
I have CAT 1 on my L175 now. Nice difference.
