New to everything, saying howdy

[jeffreythree]

This is a great site with a ton of info. Tomorrow I go pick up my new to me B6100E that I put a deposit on tonight. I was mostly looking at 4wd Yanmars, figured out 4wd was not a necessity for me(width was), and came across a Kubota that was actually in my price range. Comes with a finish mower and sprayer. It will mostly be used around our pond and woodlot. Mowing a 1-2 acres and spraying pondweeds. I need to get a box blade and figure 48" is best? Also, going to start looking out for a 42" rotary cutter to expand the turf areas that have overgrown, seems 4' may be to big? Fab list is getting long since I need a ball hitch and a winch to help around my little sawmill. Anybody ever seen a front hitch along with front weights? Sprayer pump wiring and a rear receiver will at least make it easy on the back.

Post pics asap.

Search threads with B6100E in the title.
Get a jump on some the issues which will come up.

Think how much easier spraying will be now.
That's something I should build this winter

Enjoy the tractor.

I own a B6100E and I have a 4ft grading box behind mine and I've used a 4ft bush hog without any problem's with it being back there.

A couple of pics as any new member should supply. Lucked out in how my fence was built. A couple of whacks with a hammer, a little time with the framing nailer, and a chainsaw to the extra post turned my big enough for only the tractor gate into a 6' wide gate. Sorry, no pic just yet, I had to finish the gate before dark. I need to build it a little roof in the corner to keep the elements off. The original owner supposedly only mowed with it 3 years before parking it in the garage and only taking it out occasionaly. It is sure clean enough to be true.

A fine addition to the family.
I like the look of the air filter on the outside of the hood.
I'd imagine you got more tractor by opting out of 4wd.
