    'New' B6000, 4WD feels like applying brake

    Allright, I'm on the flatlands of the Netherlands, so 4wd is only necessary to get me out of some mud. I'm going with the advice to just assume that it's not problematic. Thanks all for the advice!

    'New' B6000, 4WD feels like applying brake

    Sorry, but thats not the nicest reaction. No, it's not my first tractor, yes it's my first Kubota and 4wd tractor, but not my first 4wd. As I mentioned, it's 'feeling' like the brakes are on, I'm not thinking that they are on, they are not. There is a lot of resistance in the driveline...

    'New' B6000, 4WD feels like applying brake

    'New' B6000, 4WD feels like applying brake

    That's what I was thinking. But the circumfence of the rear is 2160mm and the front 1573mm, so that should be close enough to the stock ratio if I'm not mistaking.

    'New' B6000, 4WD feels like applying brake

    Hi guys, just got myself a B6000 last week. Am busy cleaning it up and refreshing. One thing that has me a bit worried is that the tractor rolls freely when 2wd is selected, but not so in 4wd. As soon as I select that it feels like the brake is deployed. Has anyone experienced the same and can...
