    Wanting a FEL

    Bill I was told I could add a third function for a grapple but not without undue cost - in the thousands! If you happen to find out differently please let me know :) And yes I love my B7800 it's a great tractor and I've never had a problem moving heavy wet snow with the loader or the rear...

    Brand New to Tractors!!

    Go on youtube and watch some rollover videos - not trying to put any fear in you but it was one of the most useful things I did. It's surprising how tippy these tractors can be. As was already noted you don't want to be traveling sideways on hills or anything steep. The "pucker" factor will...

    B7800 rear wheel weights.

    Hodgy, congrats on the b7800 - I have one as well, think mine is an 07 I've had it 3 years now and love it. I too looked at adding weights but was steered away from that decision by a kubota mechanic who said it's possible to cause damage to the rear axle if spinning the rears with wheel...

    Need help installing heater

    Chim, no the hose that's shown in the picture with one end disconnected is the same size 3/8" on both ends so I had to change both to get to the heater. Because I had very little room to work near the engine I installed two 3/8" hoses from the bypass fittings, one on the thermostat housing and...

    Anyone built a homemade cab?

    Here's a few pics of my homemade cab on my B7800, purely for function and not looks lol but it keeps me warm and dry and cost around $800 Canadian for everything. For some reason these pictures rotate when uploaded, they are in the proper orientation prior to uploading. Not sure why this is...

Install went quite well and lots of heat in my homemade cab and most importantly it helps to keep my windows clear :) I can have my jacket open and no gloves on in -14 Celsius and quite comfortable so I'm happy. Here's a...

    how to wire linear actuator and 3 wire switch

    Thanks Hokie, just checked it. Center wire from the switch is common. Rocked the switch changing each outside wire and got continuity. Nothing from outside wire to outside wire.
