Where is the top link? Just not in those pics. Try this one:

Quite possibly... but... The B7100 owners manual shows 2 low resolution photos where you really can't make all the parts, but the 3 point is clearly set up differently between the pics. Then the B7100 wksp manual looks different again. Maybe the B7001 was set up differently, maybe worn parts...

Thanks. I think I can now confirm that I fumbled my way through relocating the turn buckle brackets correctly and I now need to cut a couple of bits of pipe as replacement spacers for Part No 130 from that B7300 parts diagram. Thanks everyone - you've been very helpful!

Thanks. Looks like you are also running without the spacers I suspect I'm missing (I suspect they should be where the red arrows point on the copy of your pic below. It looks like the ball joints on the lift arms could move left and right and if so that the rod they're all threaded onto could...

Maybe! It's been through a 3rd party remanufacturing line in Japan before import to Australia, so blue might have been the handy paint can at the time! But I also wouldn't be surprised if that means there were non genuine parts used in the remanufacturing process.

Thanks - I'll have a look at that too!

Hey guys, Sorry about the pics below not being perfect. I'm currently separated from my tractor by a flooded bridge so I'm hoping they're good enough for the advice sought! I'm a newby and my tractor is a remanufactured Kubota B7001 (grey import into Australia, I believe it's an Asian market...

Feedback for anyone interested and in case anyone finds this post in a search with a future query: It works fine, just not fast! The PTO will lift the flail mower and move it around fine (I'm glad to have the FEL on as counter weight though). In areas that are largely grass with 12 months...

Excellent - that's exactly the reassurance / 1st hand experience I was looking for (presuming your B7100HST and my B7001 are structurally the same). My flail mower is stamped 230kg (507lbs). Thanks!

Yep, that's the plan at this point. Picking up next weekend. Overloading the 3 point / lower link was my main concern but I'm going to give it a try.

Thanks D2Cat - will check, and yes, both my implements are rated at 540. Lencho - yes I found that one thanks. I'm expecting the 125mm flail to work sub-optimally at best, but just don't want to risk breaking anything to prove it!

Thanks mate. I didn't go too much into what I was hoping to achieve in the first post because my main concern is whether I was likely to damage anything in trying. But I've got a 17 Acre property covered in Kunzea (thick Tea Tree bush). My neighbour has slashed 5 acres or so already, but the...

Thanks SDT, That's sort of what I was hoping and expecting. Ie hoping to hear I should give it a go as I'm unlikely to break anything but don't expect too much! Will the FEL be enough front weight or should I pick up half a bucket of rock / dirt too?

Thanks mate, External width is 1450mm / 57", and cutting width is 1250mm / 49". Weight - yes 230kg is about 507lbs on the old scale. 230kg is on the online specs (link in the OP) and stamped on the serial number plate on the machine body, so I'd expect it's implement weight, not shipped weight.

Hi all, 1st time poster and 1st time tractor owner! Long post to provide the detail, but the key question is: Am I going to break this little tractor if I try out a flail mower that's probably too big for it? I've bought a re-manufactured Kubota B7001 4WD Sub-Compact (which I believe is the...
