    New here with a B6000

    Well I found another B6000 in great shape locally. Funny enough just a few miles from where I got this one. Everything works like it should and it has the 3pt hitch linkage and a rear blade... With rear hydraulic angle control! My plan is to move the loader over to it and take the rototiller off...

    Kubota B series salvage yard

    Hello, Do you have a ring and pinion gear for the front axle of a B6000? I believe the part number is 66711-82810. It is a grey market tractor but I don't think it makes a difference. And if you do, do you ship to Canada?

    Some kind of rodent deterrent?

    Winter ???

    Sewer outlet froze up last night at some point. The tank level alarm went off at 4:30am. That was a first since we built this house in 2014. Probably due to the lack of snow and frigid temperatures. I took a Gatorade bucket like they dump the coaches filled up with hot water and an old aquarium...

    Winter ???

    They updated the forecast this afternoon. Might hit -50* ambient air temperature tomorrow night. I haven't experienced that here in my lifetime. At least it's sunny and "looks" nice outside.

    Winter ???

    It has arrived. Isn't supposed to get much warmer all weekend. Loaded up the wood rack on the front deck so hopefully won't have to venture out much this weekend. Just have to make it home from work today.

    Winter ???

    The snow up here is expected to stay away... They say maybe a couple of inches on Tuesday/Wednesday. But the cold is coming back. (°C) not that it matters much near -40. It'll be a change from the near freezing temperatures and very little snow we've had so far this winter. Hoping for some more...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    We've got a couple of these 'garage in a box' things and they work ok. Ours have walls and zipper doors on the ends but we usually get about 5 years out of the tarps. It's important once a rip is noticed in the fabric to tape it up right away or the wind will make short work of it. I found that...

    New here with a B6000

    I don't know if it'd help. They were scratching the surface of the frozen snow/gravel but wouldn't bite in. The weight of the loader even with the rototiller on it puts the center of gravity really far forward. If I jack in the center of the loader arm cross member the rear wheels come off the...

    New here with a B6000

    Started it up for the first time since the last post. It started about the same as in the summer, but it was barely below freezing today. It worked great to clear the pond for skating but didn't have much traction on a slope which is a problem since our driveway is a hill. I added a wooded...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I cleared off the pond for the first time with my new old B6000. It worked great with the chains on the rear tires. It took a little bit longer than the garden tractor with a snow blower but did a better job with being able to apply down pressure on the ice. It barely made it up my steep...

    B6000 Decompression Valves

    I followed the instructions from the B5100/6100/7100 service manual that Lil foot posted and it worked for my B6000. With the lever pulled and the cylinder at TDC tighten until the screw contacts the rocker and then an additional 1 1/2 turns.

    Starlink Question

    I made the same mistake when I ordered the short wall mount. I contacted customer service through the app and they sent me the long wall mount for free and didn't even make me send back the short wall mount.

    New here with a B6000

    Replaced the broken/missing times on the rototiller. Some of them took a little bit of grinding to fit into the slots but they look like a good reproduction of the originals.

    New here with a B6000

    School for the girls stars next week plus hunting season and winter coming up so I'm guessing things will slow down until the spring. I did ask my father to keep his eye out for some tire chains a couple weeks ago while he's at the auction/garage sales and he said come with me. After wandering...
