    I was worried I was expecting way to much out of such a small tractor.

    It might be a 2WD "E" model? Hard to tell because the four lug front wheels look like golf cart wheels to me. If it is a 4WD "D" model then the ratio is definitely off just looking at the tires. You can't find R14t tires that fit the B7100 4WD models with the stock wheels. I've run the math...

    How NOT to do a hydraulic oil change...

    A good reason why spraying "used oil" on roads can be fraught with unknown issues. A little bad juju in the waste oil can lead to a lot of problems.

    How NOT to do a hydraulic oil change...

    I knew this was Texas before I even finished reading. There's so much bad practice going on with leases bringing good money from hunting "bros" that really should stick to hunting big game at the local beer joint.

    B7100 For Sale ***SOLD***

    That's a sturdy little beastie. I hope my project B7100D comes out looking half that nice.

    I've seen enough of your projects and posts to say that I assumed that from the get-go. :ROFLMAO:

    B7100 hydraulic toplink

    Forum supporter Summit Hydraulics offers a diverter valve to control a cylinder circuit as well. Would be handy for something like the hydraulic links done by the FitRite gentleman. https://summit-hydraulics.com/product/hydraulic-solenoid-selectordiverter-valve-13-gpm-12v-dc/

    Let's talk B7100 hydraulic lift controls

    I've seen what is "market" for the B7100/6100 lift control valve, housing, and all. PM me a quote on the whole lift job (arms, housing, cylinder, and valve) and I'll see if my budget can bear it. Edit: Thanks @Mountainman - very fair for what I'd need.

    Let's talk B7100 hydraulic lift controls

    The original valve handles the input, control, and relief functions the same as this replacement unit. The original hydraulic supply from the pump is mangled - it was hacked apart to supply fluid to the now removed creeper transmission and trencher. My plan would be to transition to a new...

    Let's talk B7100 hydraulic lift controls

    So my project B7100 was used to run a trencher and dozer blade in a previous life. As such, the rear lift system was "deconstructed" and the parts were probably turned into shipping containers. It's a sad state of affairs. The control valve for the rear lift cylinder has been permanently...

    To those looking for 20.5x8-10 tires

    I put a set of the previously mentioned PREDATOR! tires on my B7100 and it seems to be fine. Ran it for a good while this weekend doing some spring prep. They seem to be a tickle wider than the stock 20.5's but inflated up to about the same diameter with the chunky treads.

    The dog rolled the rtv x1160. Really the dog jumped in and trounced on the accelerator, up a tree and on its side it went.

    This is much more inclusive, I think. https://www.amazon.com/Danger-Yourre-Quality-Reflective-Aluminum/dp/B07HJMNP15

    Where is my lost stuff?

    This is how I now own two sets of ball joint separator tools. Magic.

    This Thread is simply about how SATISFIED and HAPPY a man can be with a Kubota Tractor.

    I just have a clapped out B7100 and it's still far more machine than I could have dreamt. Punches well above it's class. I'm sure bigger, newer, and better machines would be fine too, but I love this one all the same.

    Bolt Pattern and Hub Diameter for B7500 wheels

    So my deep Google dive seems to indicate that the B7500 front wheels for the turf application Part #6c040-50640 have a larger bolt circle pattern and hub pilot bore, with 6x4.72 and 3.5" respectively. However, it looks like the B2150/B8200/B9200 had an option for turf front wheels that would be...

    Bolt Pattern and Hub Diameter for B7500 wheels

    Does anyone know the bolt circle and hub diameters for the B7500 wheels? I found a decent deal on a set of R4 takeoffs mounted from a B7500 and I want to see if they'll fit on my "new style" B7100 with the 6-lug hubs. As best I can tell, the fronts are 4.5" bolt circle with a 2-5/8" hub hole...
