Hey guys, this may be a dumb question but I was wondering if there is any way to squeeze out a few more HP out of the B6000. I was looking a b6100 and noticed it's .5-1 HP more than the b6000. Is it worth even trying?

No not easily or cheaply.

And FYI: You have a 2 cylinder in the B6000, the B6100 has a three cylinder engine, they are also much different designed engines.

Is there a big power difference between the two??? I was also kicking around the idea of the b7100.
Not much of a HP difference between the B6000 and the B6100 or even the B7100.
I have 2 B7100HST's that have been changed out a D950 and D850, the motors are a little more HP, 21HP and 22HP.

You would have to get into a little larger tractor to start noticing a HP gain.

But I will say I think the B7100, is a lot more capable than the B6000.
It's taller wider, and a little more comfortable to operate, but that might just be me.

Thanks Wolfman... I'm looking at getting a b6100 or 7100 and selling the 6000. I have a few implements that I want to run on the 6000 but don't have a PTO reverser.i really like the rice tires that that 6000 has on it... I've been trying to find out where I can get some at. If I can find some for the 7100 (or even 6100) I will switch in a heartbeat.

Not sure of the size you would need, but I got them here for my L1500.....

I appreciate the help. I'm not sure if those will work. The tires that I have on now have approx 3.5" deep tread.
