    Kubota b6001 and l1500

    Most definitely a multi use thing, I'm planning on using it for garden work, so tilling ect as well as a "backup mower" for when the wet season comes so I have something other than the lawnmower, which gets stuck all the time. I would prefer something like a b7200/8200hst but when they're...

    Kubota b6001 and l1500

    I have thought about renting, but discovered the cost would very quickly exceed that of a cheap second hand tractor. Adding on most of the rentals around us are designed for for slashing as it's a horse-heavy area, meaning 35-60hp tractors are the norm, at which point I would also be better...

    Kubota b6001 and l1500

    Hi all, so with needing to purchase a small tractor as surprisingly a lawn mower does not till all that well, I've begun to look at the smaller Kubotas since that's all we have in aus. Generally I've only really been stumped by a few things 1. A b6000 has a counter clockwise pto, and as far as...

    B7100 hst worth it?

    Yeah our prices are really weird, a old Massey is cheap as chips but anything more modern is just really expensive,a good Kubota (b6xxx to b2100) are atleast 9-15000 easy. And yeah it's not a beauty but considering it's the only hydrostat,Im surprised with the price

    B7100 hst worth it?

    Wow really? I just looked again on marketplace and there's about 4 all within an hour of me, although it seems like our market is Abit weird + we imported alottt of the Asian machines so its not too much of a surprise

    B7100 hst worth it?

    I'm probably going to go for a test drive sometime next week hopefully, but I have a mower deck already lined up to purchase,so that's completely covered. But yeah the general condition and missing parts concerns me slightly, especially when you factor in the limited photos and age

    B7100 hst worth it?

    We have those,but that condition would be atleast 10K, which as you can imagine is Abit too expensive for me

    B7100HST front driveshaft for 4wd

    How hard is it to replace? And would the tractor still be usable/safe to use without it? Mainly just going to be doing mowing with it. Would it even be worth replacing?

    B7100 hst worth it?

    (app prices in aud) Hi all, so after consulting a gardening subreddit and finding out that unless I buy a 5000$ tiller or tractor I cannot use our ground. Now as many of you will understand I ofc decided to go the tractor route. Since well 7hp single cylinder petrol vs 17hp diesel is a big...

    Kubota l1501DT restoration

    Probably should've included that, but I'm from qld aus, and just having a look on marketplace about 2500 is the cheapest you can find a nonscrap runner for. I wish we had the cheaper prices so much lol. But thankyou for the advice 😁

    Kubota l1501DT restoration

    Hi all, so after my son suggested restoring an old tractor I fell in love with the idea. Now he's found one that I'm considering, but I'd like a second opinion. Especially considering this is nearing Christmas where it'll have to be finalized. This is less a "how much would it cost" and more...
