    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Got my 20x30 "parking area/turn around" put in over the last couple weekends. It still needs final grading as there are some low spots but gotta wait to borrow the york rake from a freind for that. The neighbor came over with his Case 580 TLB and excavated approximately a foot down in the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Have I mentioned that having the forks has been a game changer for moving logs, brush not so much, but logs, they are very good at that

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    Thank you fornthe clarification @North Idaho Wolfman i agree about the excess weight at the front end. But... I'm fairly comfortable with the amount I can move. Our property is mostly flat and the forks worked really well in the fall moving lpgs etc. In my current situation I'm willing to...

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    I would agree on the backwards plumbing, except it worked fine for the first several months after the build. It's not that I have to hook them up backwards for it to function properly, it's that I have to hook them up backwards for me to be able to dump at all, and the lever runs backwards at...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Put the homemade loader back on so now we will probably get a late March/early blizzard. Also made the homemade "bucket" attach to the homemade fork frame so no more pinning and umpinning between the two

    Kubota b7100 FEL build on a budget

    Just put the loader back on (hopefully not more snow) but the idea behind jumping the gun was that I wanted to make the bucket sort of a "quick tach" its crude but functional. The bucket can now hang from the plate that the forks hang from and gets just two bolts through the bottom peice of...

    Hoping to get some help with some generic non kubota questions

    Quick update. We got the mistubishi tractor moved to its new home today used my b7100 and plow to push it up on the trailer backed up in the new paved driveway and rolled it off. Having the brakes "unstuck" makes that thing roll like a dream. Got the loader off, wish I would've known these...

    Hoping to get some help with some generic non kubota questions

    Update: we now have a pile of scrap metal that has four rotating wheels. It still won't go into any gear even without the engine running amd the clutch linkage is still a mystery. However as many of you suggested the brakes where frozen. now we can at least drag a rolling chunk of metal to its...

    Hoping to get some help with some generic non kubota questions

    T That was the original plan of its owner. I had actually been interested in it at one time a few years ago strictly fir the loader. I would personally rather see it reused again given that it has a loader on it but we will see

    Hoping to get some help with some generic non kubota questions

    Not 100% sure if the clutch switch functional we made sure it was depressed when trying to turn the starter. Since it didn't "take off on us when it did start and since the shifter "jiggles" like it's in neutral I imagine it is indeed in neutral the shifting issue I believe is likey unrelated...

    Hoping to get some help with some generic non kubota questions

    I am seriously thinking chains the loader up.unfortunely the ground around here was frozen a week ago but it's been 40's-50's all week with rain so dragging g without rasing the locked wheels is likely going to be a fight up hill. I'm hoping the brakes are frozen that's a fairly easy to "tear apart"

Wish I had taken some pictures but 1:30-4 am wherent prime picture times and getting "stuck" 2x didn't help once up by the road and once off the side if the drive which had me on 3 wheels I was able to self recover both times with a little shoveling...

    Waiting for snow

    It started as a 6 foot jeep blade but is cut down equally on both sides to 5 feet Only a foot wider then the original blade that came on the tractor, but the height makes it look disproportionate.
