I finally fixed the problem with the implement lowering last week. After all was said and done, the problem was with a spacer on the control arm, or should i say the lack of a spacer. As soon as I fabricated a piece of metal that applied an outward force on the control lever arm, the problem...

Ok. So this is not the first post about the 3pt hitch problem with the tractor. The problem was that the implement kept lowering on the 3 pt hitch if i was not holding the lift lever in position. Recently I just replaced the piston rings and inspected the cylinder for any damage. Looked at...

You mean I spent all that time up to my elbows in hydraulic fluid for nothing? I'll check the feedback rod, and repost when its all back together. thanks, c

Recently my 3 point hitch started dropping under the weight of its own implement(a box blade) on my B8200. I have checked the piston o-ring and backup ring(both appear good), and am now looking at the control valve/relief valve unit. Just wondering if anyone has had this problem, and where to...

I recently purchased a '93 B8200HST. I have been using it for 2 weeks with no problems , but yesterday I was unable to get the range selector into low. Worked ok in middle and high position. On inspection there is a pin which is part of the selector handle that engages with another bar with...

I appreciate the honest reply Vic. You pretty much called it--- the dealer here wants to charge me $800.00 for the ROPS. I don't see any other option than to pay the price. Still, makes me think that maybe the Canadian market isn't as important from a PR point of view than the American one...

Hi Vic, Thanks for the videos. I find them a very helpful resource. Just wondering if the ROPS and Seatbelt safety program that members from the States have told me about is also available in Canada? I am going to (hopefully) purchase a B8200 this week and am waiting for a reply from...

I could be in the market for a ROPS Kit. I have purchased a B8200 without a ROPS. Would it fit? I say 'could' because I am waiting to hear from Kubota Canada about their ROPS program. The local dealer says they never heard of it, and now i'm thinking there's going to be some kind of stupid...

If you have anything for a B8200 HST, I would be interested. Thanks, Cam

So sorry to hear about your loss. In these circumstances, no words can soften the pain you must be feeling. My heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Cam

kubota orange 11. Never heard of that, but also good to know. As for the monitor or the camera, I've seen it with my own eyes, and it looks just like in the picture. I think you're on to something though because the paint job looks professional, only with a lot more red tint than orange. c

The colour is not that important to me. Still it is an obvious negotiating point to me, which is probably why he brought it up in the first place and quickly mentioned that it is the factory colour(and therefore original). The ROPS is wayyyyy more important than the colour, and I don't actually...

Thanks for the link North Idaho. I will definitely pursue the ROPS as part of any deal. The promotional prices are phenomenal as well. (I can't believe this wasn't mentioned to me---I just want to make sure this promotion applies to Canada as well---stranger things have happened north of the...

Ok, thanks coachgeo. Here is a picture. c

No doubt a strange thing for a supposedly knowledgeable salesman to say. I asked if there were any service records and I am quoting his reply here: "Ok I did check have them check the store records and we have 3 work orders . The first was in Septmeber 2011 and it had 820 hrs on it for...
