    More weights

    Nope no power steering on the B6100, just good old fashion arm muscles. I might have to go somewhere and find a shipping scale to get an idea what weights are on now. So far its all my big ass can do one handed and I dont want to drop one on my foot. Im not really sure how the bracket that...

    BX, B, or L? Help please!

    I havent checked to see if they are still being made this week or not but the L3800 was a very popual tractor. Beefy and could move alot. I dare say you'll want something with some ass behind it like and L

    More weights

    Two things Paul, One not having the equipment or skills to make something like that. Two not having power steering to turn the wheel with all that weight up front. I'm sure over the next several weeks my forearms would be like pistons.

    More weights

    Im not sure what the weights on the front weigh now. I just know theres 3 big ass weights total and it fills up my hanger bracket for weights. I have no idea where to begin weight wise to counter balance for the rear. My dad has some smaller 55 pound suit case weights I could play around with to...

    More weights

    Ok gang I'm seeking ideas from anybody who has a good one. Aeration season is about to start back up soon and I feel like I should add a bit more weight to the front of my B6100 to counter balance the 500 pounds of aerator on the back. I've learned to live with it in the past but last fall...

    site adverts.

    I've said it before and I'm saying it again, kinda pointless to advertise Kubota tractors to already Kubota owners...

    B7100HST-D and 4WD

    In many situations if the tractor gets stuck in a sloppy mess simply step on the differential lock your right heal and you'll usually move free. Or if you have a loader in the nasty stuff roll the bucket all the way down, apply pressure to the ground and curl the bucket back. It'll help push you...

    Woods BH9000 control pattern

    You cant switch patterns unless you move around hydraulic hoses and good luck figuring that out. Usually most excavators you can switch the way the joystick work by turning an adjustment knob but not on this particular backhoe.

    B7100 Radiator Buying

    I was in a helluva jam last fall when my radiation sprung a leak on me in a customers yard. I tried to get mine fixed at a local radiator repair shop and the guy with 30 years experiance couldnt fix it. So.I had no choice but to order from the dealer for $500 and overnite shipment. Even tried...

    b-7100. What RPM to run while mowing

    Service Dept Vic made a statement in the past that these particular tractors have a throttle limiter on the engine so you can crank the hand throttle back WFO and the enging wont go past a factory limit.

    B7100HST-D and 4WD

But anyway I went a picked up an older compact Ford tractor with the company roll back that was having steering/moving troubles...

    New member-commercial use tractor/equipment question.

    These Kubotas will take anything you throw at them within reason. Now that being said some people can break an anvil given the chance. Know the limits of the tractor and dont treat it as a bulldozer she'll last for years. My dad has an L275 thats 30ish years old and used it in the landscape...

    Advise for giving tractor a bath?

    You mean none of you guys fill up a hot soapy tub, dim the lights, light off some canldes and incents. Play a little soft music then lather rinse and repete. Dawn dish soap is your cheapest best friend for getting anything greasy and dirty clean. I recently discovered this cheap degreaser...

    Wanted to buy finish mower for B6000

    I believe a pto reverser is what you need rather the trying to find a matching finishing mower.
