    No tach on BX1800???

    Hi all. I just bought a 2001 BX1800. It is in nice shape with a RCK54 22BX mmm, and 377 hrs on it. There is no tach on this model and am wondering how to get the right engine RPM to have the correct RPM on the PTO?

    Thinking of buying an MX6000.

    As the title says, I'm thinking of buying a new cabbed MX6000, LA1065 SSQA, dual rear remotes, 4 or 6 rear wheel weights, 3rd function and probably R14s. For any of you guys that have this unit or something really close, how much should I expect to pay for it? I'm in Canada, but I'm also...

    B6200 No Start

    B6200 HST 4wd. Battery is good at 12.8v, same at post on starter. But I only get 10.8v on the wire on the solenoid when the key is turned to the crank position, and it takes about 15 seconds to get up to that 10.8 from about 9.2v. I've checked all connections and grounds that I can get to...

    Weight Box

    I wanted to add some more weight to the rear of my tractor for ballast while using the loader and for snow plowing. I added 180# wheel weights to each wheel which helped but I still needed more weight and didn't want it permanent as I use the tractor for raking hay as well. So, I had a 3 PT...

    A salute to Kubota durability.

    Picked up another B7100 HSTD the other day, 1230 Hours on it. A twin to the one I already have, right down to the LA300B loader. Bought it from an older gentleman who bought it new, but hadn't used it in 5 years due to health issues. Stored inside since day one. Threw a battery in it, checked...

    Loader in float position?

    Here's a question that just occurred to me. My MX5000 is stored in an unheated shed. Will the hydraulic oil warm up quicker if I put the loader in float position while the engine is warming up prior to driving? I'm not sure how the hydraulic flow pattern is on this particular tractor but I...

    L185 pin plug.

    Hi guys, I searched but didn't find anything conclusive. I started my L185 and left it idle while I installed the loader on my B7100. I came back 10 min later to find the oil light on and a pool of oil on the ground. It came from a hole cast in the block just above and behind the oil filter.(see...

    WTB L185 Hood

    Like the title says, I need a good hood for my L185. Must be solid, a few minor dings is fine but no major damage. Also looking for a good set of rear fenders for the same unit. Willing to pay top dollar for the right items. TIA.

    B7100 Dozer blade fit on a B6200?

    Hi Guys, I have a chance at good deal on a 4' Kubota front dozer blade complete with the frame and hydraulic lift assy. It is off of a B7100 and I'd like to put it on a B6200 or maybe on a B6000. Does anyone know if it will fit on either of these units? Thanks

    Introduction section?

    How about a section where new members could introduce themselves? Maybe with a short Bio and explain how / why they are here?

    Like I needed this.

    Well after playing around with my B6000 and falling in love with the little beast, and seeing the gear vs hydro debate on here my curiosity was aroused. So yesterday while idly cruising the internet for lack of anything better to do, I came across a decent deal on a B6200 HST complete with a 60"...

    B6000 Fuel Filter # Confusion?

    I seen the fuel filter list on here, went to my Kubota dealer and picked up part# 15231-43560. Went to change the fuel filter (the one in the sediment bowl), and my filter is about 5/8 - 3/4" shorter than the one on the list. I noticed that the wix, fram and Baldwin numbers that cross over to...

    B6000 Steering Box Adjusting

    The pics in my online service manual aren't that great and I'd like to tighten up the freeplay in the steering wheel. I pulled the yellow rubber plug on the side of the steering box ( a few drips of clean oil came out?)and I can see a slotted screw inside there. The manual says to loosen the nut...

    My "New" B6000

    New member here. I've been checking out this forum for a couple days now since I bought my B6000. It looks like a great site with a ton of info. I just brought my new baby home today and thought I'd post a few pics. I bought it at auction so I don't know any history on this unit but I went over...
