    Kubota Safety Switches Help?

    I have an L3130 too. None of the safeties work...they never did. Everything is nice and clean. It'll start run and drive fine. I better never need the safeties. But we used a 63 ford loader for years and the only safety on that was your brain.

    B6000 questions

    I was thinking a rig like this would be far safer. Any sort of violent twist would pop the rig off the ball hitch. http://www.countryatv.com/atv-log-skidder.htm There are many homemade rigs bigger and better made but the basic design is aways the same.

    Stability / ballast / diy questions

    The suggestion about retro fitting with rops got me thinking about stability. Along with basic wheel weights, would the addition of weight along the underside mid line add more low center of gravity stability? Think a very heavy belly mower. Or am I not thinking with the right physics? If...

    It says $150 for a rops kit for the b6000. Looks like a deal to me.

    Dumb parts question..

    I've been looking around at other makes, and other kubota models. I keep wandering back to this one as the others I have looked at they want a lot more money with no attachments, or they are totally shot to pieces (and they want more money). I figure knowing the history of the thing is a big...

    Dumb parts question..

    As far as I know, the tractor itself has not been abused or over worked, and well maintained from the the day it was new. The dad was OCD about caring for it, and the son pretty much retired it to parking lot clearing duty other than tilling a few gardens, and brush hogging his overgrown back...

    Dumb parts question..

    I figured as much. I know the guy who owns it, and the tractors history. Its mostly been used for pushing snow off a parking lot. For the last 20 yrs that's about all it has done. His dad bought it new and treated it better than the kids. lol It came with a roto tiller which is all I'll...

    Counter weight

    I figured I would just leave the roto tiller on the back. It's pretty heavy.

    B6000 questions

    The first of many no doubt. :D I'm off this week to buy and haul home a very nice well cared for B6000. I am unfortunately diesel and tractor stupid. My first question is... The rear 3 point hitch is power up. It lifts the roto tiller and the other implements. How much weight can this thing...

    Dumb parts question..

    I've never owned one of these tractors before, So I was wondering where do you get parts? Can you even get new parts for an old B6000? I'm going to buy a nice B6000 in a few days. It just occurred to me I better ask before this turned into the JD AMT problem I ran into a while back. They no...
