B6000 with loader

[Orangegon]

I recently picked up this B6000 from where it sat in the woods. Looking to see if anyone wants to buy it complete, as-is, as a project. It looks very complete and like it will work again with some filters, fluids, and elbow grease. I will even drag it into some blackberry bushes, and you can make a YouTube video of "saving it from the woods" if you want. Rear rims have some rot, otherwise a solid machine looking for a restoration.

Located outside Salem, Oregon.

Asking what I paid, $1750.

That is a B219 loader, if anyone is interested.

Interesting ROPs.

Yeah, its an oddball. It is actually labeled as a Kubota loader with a serial number, but is a B206 model. I think maybe this was an early loader solution to the grey market B6000's. It is labeled Kubota, but manufactured by a company in Wisconsin. Thanks for replying!

It is identical in design to the B219, even down to the plumber's tape anchor points for the hydraulic lines.
Perhaps they changed the model number because of dimensional changes fo fit a B6000, as you have stated.
B219s were also manufactured in Wisconsin by Aeroquip.

Here is a photo of the ID tag on the loader. Clearly, this is a collectors item due to the unique model number. I'm gonna have to raise the price now.

My tag is in a little better shape. And ARPS became Aeroquip later.

Are you running a B219 on your B7100? I originally bought this one thinking I would modify to fit my B7100, but it seems a little odd to hack apart a vintage piece that is complete, and also smaller...

 

[Lil Foot]

Yes.
I have heard of people modifying a B219 off of a B7100 to fit a B6100, B5100, or a B6000, but never the other way around. Seems like it wouldn't be too much trouble, but I see your point about breaking up a classic pairing.

Shame you arnt a lot closer, I'd be buy it in heart beat at that price. Around here it would still be $3-4k.

Let's get creative. I will put it in bubble wrap for you...

That ROPS reminds me of them older Deere garden tractors.
