Front Loader and spare parts for B7200

[BamBam89]

Good morning all together,

i´m new here and first some informations about me.

I am 33 years old live in Good Old Germany and since yesterday owner of an Orange B7200. I got it for free.


And now the "problem". Everybody knows it´s an older model and we need to do a few thinks.

Its not easy to get spare parts for this Kubota in Germany so i look also in other countries. Can anybody tell me the best seller for spare parts for this model?!

And a second question, did anybody knows if it is possible to install an front loader on the B7200D?! When yes, can you please tell me the model name of the front loader an maybe a seller?!

Thank you everybody.

Attached some pictures

P.S. sorry about my bad english
If you need some more informations or anything is not clear, please contact me.

Regards Christian

With parts there are a lot of different outlets.
What parts do you need?

Yes that tractor can handle a loader.
As far as finding a Kubota loader, the chances of you finding that over there is closer to slim to none, they are very very hard to find here in the USA.

You can find an aftermarket loader for that size of tractor locally, then you will most likely have to build your own sub-frame and mounts for it.

Your English is great.... Better than most that only know English!

When I got my 22 year old tractor, I started looking for a loader. I discovered that a) it was too old for Kubota to bother with any more, b) used loaders are generally attached to a used tractor and c) shipping costs almost as much as a custom made aftermarket loader.

So I built my own. The most expensive part was the hydraulics -- cylinders, control valves and hoses. Not counting the 40 or 50 hours of my time that went into the project, or the cost of all the metal working tools that I already had.

If that is not an option, be prepared for a long hunt. Or consider selling your tractor to finance the purchase of a tractor that already has a loader.

Good morning @ all

I found some shops at "Must have websites" I think i find their everything i need. Thank you!

It must not be an original loader and i dont want to buy the loader in the USA. I think the shipping costs are very high. This would not pay off.

You are absolutly right with this three points. But to build an loader by myself is not an option. I have many metal working tool but they are not big enough to build an loader


Maybe anybody has an aftermarket loader on his Orange and can tell me Model Number or typ of the loader. Then i will try to find this one in Germany.
To build an sub-frame is possible.

Has someone of you pictures how the sub frame is installed at the orange?
i didn´t have any idea how to install it. Some pictures are certainly helpfull

And one more question. Does anyone know a page on which I can find a manual??


Thank you all for your answers.

Regards Christian

Go to kubotabooks.com to download the ops manual (operators manual)
there is a B7200 HST WSM manual, and that will help with most everything.
