I'm looking to rent a trailer mounted post pounder this weekend, to do some fencing on my level yard. The trailer is spec'd to weight almost 3,000lbs. Do you think I'd be able to pull this with the B1700?

Hi All. I just bought a B1700, and tried searching for a log splitter setup for it. I was wondering if it would be possible to use a cylinder (close to same size as the loader cylinder), and run it off of the loader control somehow. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I'm by no means, a...

Hey everyone. I just brought home a B1700 and can't find an Operator's manual for it anywhere on line. With colder weather coming up, I'm just wondering what Kubota recommends for glow plug cycle time before starting. Anyone with insight on the matter? Thanks in advance!

I'm looking to get a replacement motor for my Bobcat 825. The motor that is currently in it, is from a Volkswagen Rabbit... Needless to say, it doesn't work the way it should, so I'm on the hunt for something better.

Hi All. I have my first tractor (B7100), and have a dumb question. The way the loader valving is set up, the float function is on the bucket curl stick, and not the lever that controls the lift (or arms) of the loader. Is this the proper setup, or should it be the other way around? I'm thinking...

I have a fairly new-to-me 1980 B7100D and just put the first few hours on it this weekend. I was doing dirtwork, so there was a lot of shifting between reverse and 1st gear. The tractor ran/shifted fairly well for the whole day, and when I went to put it in the garage at the end of the day, I...

I've got a 1980 B7100, and was doing some work with it for the first time yesterday. I was lifting things with the FEL, and noticed the back end of the tractor was a little unstable. I'm not familiar with these tractors, as this is my first machine that I've owned, but I'm just wondering if this...

I'm wanting to install a temperature gauge on my '80 B7100. I've bought the in-line fitting to attach an analog gauge to the rad. hose. Is there anyone out there that has installed a 2" gauge in the dash panel somehow? I've attached a photo of the dash on my unit. I'd like to install in the dash...

I've for a KMW K80 loader on my B7100 (geared). The valve was leaking pretty badly from most of the fittings that connect the hoses to it, so I replaced all of them with brand new. Would you be able to let me know if I need to purge the system in any way, after I hook up all of the fittings, or...

Hi All. I'm looking at getting a 3 point finishing mower for my kubota B7100. I found a great deal on a good Woods RM59, and I saw that the front shaft needs to be a certain length for a Kubota tractor (or any other smaller tractor). The seller of the mower said that it was used on an...

Hi All. I've just bought my first Kubota. It's a 1980 B7100 (geared drive), 4x4 with FEL. I'm wanting to buy a finish mower for it, and have found a good deal on a 60" Woods model RM59 that is veritcal belt driven off of the shaft. Will my tractor run this mower alright? Any advice would be...

I've got a B7100 with KMW K80 Loader. The loader is set up to run on the tractor hydraulics, and has a 2 stick control valve (one stick for boom, one for bucket). Is it normal to only be able to control one function at a time, or am I supposed to be able to do two functions at once (ie: boom...

I just picked up a 1980 B7100, and am starting to go through it. When I bought it, it was known to have oil in the coolant (or something turning it black). I've noticed quite a bit of smoke coming out of the valve cover vent hose when it's running (no oil coming out, and it's not moisture), and...

I just picked up my first Kubota B7100 this weekend. I'm new to the tractor world, and this tractor came to me with some required repairs that need to be done. I'm not afraid to take on mechanical work myself, and enjoy learning new things from people on this forum and Youtube. The tractor has a...

Hi everyone. I've got a 1980 B7100D with a FEL. I bought it used, and it has the two-joystick loader setup (one for the boom and the other for the bucket). Would anyone be able to tell me if all FEL's have the float function, or is this generally only the FEL's with the single joystick? Any info...

I've just purchased a 1980 B7100, and will be headed about 5hrs away to pick it up. I've got a 18' car-hauler trailer with ramps, and the tractor will have the loader and 3pt. tiller on it during transport. The tractor also comes with a rear blade that won't be attached, but will be tied down to...

Hi All. I'm brand new to the forum, and brand new to Kubotas. I'm looking at buying a 1980 B7100, and the person selling it has confirmed that there is oil in the coolant, but the tractor is still running smooth... Before I get too far in negotiations on price, I'm wanting to know if anyone has...
