    BF300 loader compatible with a B7100?

    I have a gear shift B8200 with a BF300 loader and there is a B7100 HST with a front mount snow blower that looks to be a good deal and I'm wondering if I could swap my loader onto the B7100 and sell my B8200. How much would I miss the 5 extra HP at the PTO? Thanks!

    Can anyone recommend a cheap but decent quality hanging scale, preferably weatherproof, 1,000 lb capacity or better but accurate lower in the range. For weighing animals for butchering and totes of fish and lobster bait. Thanks

    Home made or highly modified 3pt attachments

    Just for fun, I'd love to see pics of homemade attachments. I'm new to tractors but my experience is that you are an inventive lot and bet there's some cool 3pt Rube Goldberg machines out there.

    Operating a BF300-A FEL on a B8200

    I was using pallet forks clamped on to my bucket to lift a 200hp outboard motor on and off a pickup truck bed. It seemed difficult to lower it smoothly, or at least as smoothly as I'd like to. I'm wondering if smooth operation comes from skilled handling or if there's some adjustment that...

    Is there a Holy Grail of used compact tractors?

    Kind of like the 1999-2003 Ford 7.3 powerstrokes or the 1998 Dodge 12v quad cab are considered by many the "holy grails" of used diesel pick ups. Is there an older model compact where Kubota just seemed to knock it out of the park and the tractor just keeps ticking no matter the hours put on it?

    Finish mower blade sharpening? Jigs, freehand, angle grinder, bench grinder, stone, paper?

    What will happen if I put these tire sizes on my B8200?

    I can get a deal on turf tires on rims. The sizes are: Fronts 20.5x8-10 Rears 31x13.5-15 And they reportedly came of a B7200. But tractor data says I need: Lawn/turf front: 24x8.5-12 Lawn/turf rear: 13.6-16 Can I still use these tires? Thanks!
