    B7200 ROPS

    The 3 point lap/sash belts in the old Landcruiser do have inertia set ups, but this centre 2 point lap belt doesn't. Once I've set it at the length to suit me it doesn't move.

    B7200 ROPS

    Thanks - I had seen that done but hadn't thought of it for this.

    B7200 ROPS

    Thanks. I suspect we're not the only ones who bought a tractor so we could make things for them. I also think rounded corners on the ROPS would look a bit better, and less chance of getting caught on low branches. Not sure yet if I'll be able to bend the corners yet though. Skinnier would...

    B7200 ROPS

    The first thing I made for our "new" B7200 was a ROPS. I bought the tractor to build and fit a front loader, and thought it would be better to have the ROPS first, as if I built the loader first I would be tempted to use it without a ROPS. The mounting is based on pics of a bought one and it's...

    Front loader for a B7200

    Thanks Dan - the urge to over-build is always pretty strong.

    Thanks, 25 mm sounds like a plan.

    Do you know what diameter your pins are ?

    Front loader for a B7200

    G'day all I'm in the process of building a front loader for my recently acquired B7200 and have a question about pins and bushes. I've bought some steel bushes with greasable 5/8" pins that are normally used for trailer leaf springs (see pic). In loaders such as the B1630/B1640 would it be...

    Mower deck attachment and removal

    It certainly is. Probably take me almost as long to fit and remove the deck as it would to mow the grass.

    Mower deck attachment and removal

    Oops - cross out "during" and replace with "fitting". Auto-correct catches me every time, and I don't know how to edit a comment.

    Mower deck attachment and removal

    Thanks for the welcome, for your comments and for the pics. In the pic you shared it shows the PTO shaft on the tractor (yellow) with a groove running around the shaft - I'm guessing that quick attach during must use this groove to lock in place. I don't have this groove on mine at either end...

    Mower deck attachment and removal

    G'day all I recently bought my first tractor - a Kubota B7200HSTD with a 60" RC60-72H mid mount mower deck. So far I've found that attaching and removing the mower deck is not so easy, with the most difficult part being connecting the PTO shaft under the tractor. The uni joint on the end of...
