    ZL600 Engine Manual please?

    Hi Dave. Many thanks for this useful information. It was also thoughtful of you to raise the pto issue. I am aware of its counter rotation and non-standard shaft, but had I not been, you could have saved meva lot of grief!

    Can anyone help with this? |I know that it is available from commercial download sites but, even if free, I don´t like giving out my card details! Thanks

    B6000 how to make a front linkage, please!

    In fact it has been designed to be mounted in front. There is a plate for bolting onto the tractor - but I have one of those strange boxes that hold an electric clutch and pulleys for the belly mower, so I plan to mount plates onto the chassis to extend it forwards, then weld a mounting plate...

    Simple crane for 3-pt?

    I have a 3-point frame which attaches to the linkage on my small Kubota B6000. Looking at the simple cranes on sale, it seems that they are merely a bar with a hook welded to the top of the frame, angled upwards, plus a bracing strut, so I am thinking of modifying the frame to turn it into a...

    Solution found! I have discovered a firm, based in Ireland, which distributes small front linkages. In view of my highly questionable fabrication skills I have decided to buy from them. Their current price for a small one (with 350kg lift) is 450 euros, and they also do a larger version for...

    B6000 how to make a front linkage, please!

    I think you are right about the hydraulics issue. I actually own two ploughs. One is a really strong, reversible blade on a 3-point linkage - very serviceable, I think. I also have a blade from a Wheelhorse Raider 12, which looks very much like the gravely rider blade. Maybe I should...

    B6000 how to make a front linkage, please!

    Thanks for these really interesting replies. I don't have anything like the expertise of some of the posters (and the links), so would be looking for an easy way forward. I think I could work out the hydraulics ok with my idea being perhaps to use a double acting upper link arm (or perhaps two...

    B6000 how to make a front linkage, please!

    Hi everyone. I have a B6000 in nice condition which I bought recently and am currently repainting. I would like to be able to fit some cat 1 products to the front - notably a snow plough/grader, and perhaps a box. I already possess the plough, which is designed to fit on cat 1. On a budget...
