I built a subframe for my B6000 for a FEL, and created a document with some details. It's too big to attach so I created a dropbox account to make it available. You can get it here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/u2917icuzhffz7k/B6000%20subframe.pdf?dl=0 Let me know if anything isn't clear, I'll try...

Hi Daniel. I just now saw this message, maybe I missed a notification. I thought I uploaded a .pdf document at the time, but can't find it now, so I'm attaching it here Oh, I see it's too large. Ok, I've created a dropbox account and placed it there. I apologize for not following up earlier. I...

That's an excellent point. I've been guilty of doing that when I get into a tight corner, but up to now the weight has been at the rear. Many loaders for small tractors require additional weight in the rear to offset the load and keep the tractor balanced with all 4 wheels on the ground. That...

Okay, I'll gather it together, and post it here within a day or 2. Most of the info I started with came from forums like this, then was adjusted to fit, and it's my way of giving back.

Yes sir, that would probably match the power steering of many newer machines. The B6000 doesn't have power steering, if it did, it would decrease power to some other feature. I'm old and tired too, can't move the heavy stuff like I used to, but I can crank the wheel to point the loader in the...

I knew the flow rate affects the speed, that's why my erroneous number seemed so odd. The single cylinder on my lift pulls fenceposts quickly and easily; I'll be happy if the loader lifts 1/4 as fast. I was told I need at least 4 GPM for reasonable speed, but I can live with just under 3, I'm...

I appreciate hearing that from you. I feel more confident about using the built-in hydraulics, which saves a couple hundred dollars.

Ahh. I'm glad it was a mistake on my part. That makes more sense. I'm not always good at math; I'm glad you were able to see my error when I asked for help. Thank you for pointing that out.

I don't have one for sale, but I am making a DIY FEL for my B6000 and have made a subframe for it to mount on. If you don't find what you are looking for, I can share info about how I built it. Was planning to post it anyway when the whole project is done, but the subframe is finished and I can...

I know this topic has been covered many times, and I try to do my homework first, but sometimes I get confused. I have a B6000 which the previous owner has tapped into the built-in hydraulic system. He added a control valve, but I have no idea what he used it for. I obtained a lift (like an...

These are great suggestions. I do have the manuals from kubotabooks.com, the Operator's Manual, the Service Manual, and the Parts Manual. They have been my guiding light as I learn and fix this tractor. I didn't get a chance to meet the previous owner; he lives way out in the boonies and sold it...

Hi everybody. Please forgive my long-winded rant. This is my first post and I'm excited to be here. I bought a Kubota B6000 a couple months ago, and while searching for answers to a million questions, I found this awesome group. Most of my questions have been answered in previous postings, so...

Hello, I'm new here, and new to Kubota, and I'm interested in the tiller if it's still available. (I couldn't tell from the public messages.) I'm serious and ready to proceed.
