    BF300 loader compatible with a B7100?

    I have a gear shift B8200 with a BF300 loader and there is a B7100 HST with a front mount snow blower that looks to be a good deal and I'm wondering if I could swap my loader onto the B7100 and sell my B8200. How much would I miss the 5 extra HP at the PTO? Thanks!

    Kubota k420 tiller, forward or reverse rotation?

    I found an old tiller for sale and I'm wondering if its forward or reverse rotation, and how much does that matter? Any insight appreciated. Thank you!

    Convert belt driven lawn tractor implements to run off of 3pt PTO on subcompact?

    Not sure of the model number but that sounds right. It uses a 12v actuator to lift it up and down. I was thinking I could weld something up to hitch it to 3pt. Just cant envision in my head the best way to convert/transmit power. I haven't had a gear box off a deck yet. Would there be some...

    Convert belt driven lawn tractor implements to run off of 3pt PTO on subcompact?

    I have a rototiller from a Cub Cadet 2186 lawn tractor and I'm wondering if there's a way to rig it up to run behind my Kubota B8200. Any ideas?

    Recommendation for a crane/hanging type scale?

    Can anyone recommend a cheap but decent quality hanging scale, preferably weatherproof, 1,000 lb capacity or better but accurate lower in the range. For weighing animals for butchering and totes of fish and lobster bait. Thanks

    Check your tire pressure!

    If you have cordless tools, check and see if they make an inflator. I have Royobi stuff and got this earlier this year when they were having a buy one tool get one tool free sale...

    Check your tire pressure!

    Hate to admit this, but at the beginning of the summer I swapped AG tires and rims over to turf. Last time I mowed I hoped off the tractor to pick up a branch that had come down and notice only two of six lug nuts holding a rear tire on and the remaining two only had a couple threads holding...

    Home made or highly modified 3pt attachments

    Wow, so that wasn't a weekend warrior project, that was months of planning and skilled labor! Bet it felt pretty good the first time it chewed through a stump!

    I would have bet that was factory made!

    Home made or highly modified 3pt attachments

    When I first got my tractor a hear ago, I got a smoking deal on a 60" finish mower that basically came with a free Goosen leaf blower. I can't believe the amount of air those things move! I was using it for the first time to help my neighbor out and when I hopped off the tractor for...

    Home made or highly modified 3pt attachments

    Funny that the first post is just what I was thinking off. I don't have front hydraulics but I do have an old Cub Cadet rototiller attachment that has a 12v actuator that's pretty beefy, like a $600 unit. I was daydreaming of rigging it up on my bucket to make my own version of one of these...

    Home made or highly modified 3pt attachments

    Just for fun, I'd love to see pics of homemade attachments. I'm new to tractors but my experience is that you are an inventive lot and bet there's some cool 3pt Rube Goldberg machines out there.

    Is there a Holy Grail of used compact tractors?

    How about this, what would be the best used machine that is hydrostatic and makes over 20 hp at the PTO, is 4WD and compact in size? I'm asking because I have a B8200 and while I love it, the steering is failing and its gear shift and has less than 16hp at the PTO and I'm considering trading...

    How can you tell if gear box breather valve is working on mowers and brush cutter?

    Should air pass through freely or is there an actual valve and it open with a certain amount of pressure like a car thermostat?
