    Kubota B7001 and CAEB MP550

    That is such a nice little baler! I hope I will be able to find a similarly affordable one for my B7001, but I guess I have to relly on the neighbors in the meantime.

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Using a weed eater would take ages tho! I have used it to fix up a smaller field earlier, and I think I would use days doing a full acre (4000 square meters). Ive thought about getting one of those two wheele comb mowers, remove the wheels and welding it up to act as an attachment I could hang...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Thanks for all the advice guys, but I really just came to talk tractor! 😆 From what I gather, none of my dreams are economical sound, but I'm ok with this being my money pit. It looks like the current tractor wont be able to run any if the compact bailers (for instance abbriata m60 mini) I've...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Thank you! I guess I'll have to spend a year or two to get the feel of it as you say. Do know where I can find pdf manuals on old Orange tractors so I can read and dream of what I should try to find once I know my needs better? All I can find is those in-browser manuals in french surrounded...

    Ok, now I feel stupid. After googling american units I now understand that I have one acre of fields. Ive always thought an acre is 1000 square meters which is our smallest unit of measurement for fields. Sorry for the mixup. I have 4000sqm of fields and want to be able to cut 1-3000 sqm for...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Thank you for the useful links! In my country we have mandatory ny law five weeks vacation and both me and the wife have an extra week at our current employers. And we have really flexible occupations, spending a week of vacation on making hay is perfect. That being said, the neighbor and his...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    Thank you for the tips, and I do know animals require work and supervision. I was thinking chicken and maybe a few goats. It would just be a recreational thing to make the kids feel like they actually live on a farm. Both me and the wife make a decent living doing our 9-5. The neighbors are...

    B7001 owner dreaming of wheat and hay

    I'm in the process of acquiring a small homestead with about four acres of fields and about twenty acres of wood. The place comes with an old Kubota B7001 that I would really like to keep. The current owners have been using the tractor to get logs for firewood and other minor tasks. The fields...
