    Opps. I need a part for my B6000

    Anyone know if I could just wrap the bottom with some air cleaner material until I get the new parts?

    Sweet, so there are multiple people on this board from the Chattanooga area. I'm only about 35 minutes away myself.

    B6000 to buy or not?

    Thanks for the Info Vic :). From he previous owners the RM42 on it was made for it and does indeed spin correctly for the B6000. It seems to be a great mower, with bushhog (breakaway) type blades and give a finish mower result. Right on the mower it says to use 800-1000 for the PTO speed, which...

    B6000 to buy or not?

    :)I have learned this! I have to be honest here, the issues with pushing it and having it over heat might be me. One part of my yard has a 35 degree slope thats about 600 feet long. With the 43" on, it takes my 8 passes to mow it, 4 down and 4 up. It's of course the up's where I need to...

    The over heating only seems to happen if I "push" it. I can mow the whole yard (about 2 acers) and if I keep it about half throttle it just purrs right along. Since, from everything I've read about the cooling system on these, that there is no thermostat or water-pump about the only thing it...

    B6000 to buy or not?

    The guy I bought it from just fully serviced it. It's what he does for a living so I'm pretty confident it all up to snuff. (Just in my simple checking I know that the antifreeze, belts battery and rear brakes are new for sure.) I have noticed a over heating issue if I push it harder than half...

    B6000 to buy or not?

    Honestly, for as cheap as I found this, it would almost make sense just to find another/something else with any other options I would need (like a FEL) and leave this one setup for the mower. The only thinks I would really have a use for other than a fel is a tiller. But that's something I'm...

    B6000 to buy or not?

    Well, I went ahead and bought it, heading out to mow... Edit... Ok done mowing. Worked well. My grass was was about 12 inches high and wet, but it had no issue at all taking it down. So, I hit some weeds and over growth that was about 6 foot high and wet... again. no issue. Nice. I'll have...

    B6000 to buy or not?

    That sounds good. What about the issue of the reversed PTO? In doing some deeper research it sound like the place that had been making them is gone? If that is the case, then what's the chances of being able to get it turing in the correct rotation so I can get some other stuff for it? What...

    I have about 2 acers I have to mow, that tends to eat normal riding mowers. I have a local guy here with one of these Kubota B6000 tractors that has a rear white 48 mower on it. I have driven it around his place and mowed with it, everything seems to work just fine, it only smokes at first...
