    Which Welder to buy

    Well $1K sounds like a pretty nice setup for starting out. What I did since I knew absolutely nothing about welding is buy a refurbished Harbor Freight 110A MIG (220V) for $100. I used it to learn how to weld for six months, it was actually a pretty good welder. Then I sold it on Craigslist...

    Mystik hydraulic fluid

    At the risk of starting a fluids debate here goes. It is time to replace the hydraulic fluid on my B7610. I went to TSC and saw they have Mystik JT5 Universal Trans/Hydraulic fluid which it says on the label meets Kubota SUDT/UDT specs, price was $32/2gal. I know from my Kubota manual that my...

    Got stuck in 4wd?

    While clearing the latest snow (18" this time) I managed to get my B7610 stuck in the snow/ice. I was surprised to get stuck in 4wd. Noticed that only one of the front and rear wheels was spinning, I know my Audi does that, transfers power to the wheel that grips but did not think the tractor...

    Where to buy tires

    Thanks for the suggestions. I called TSC and they could not get the tires but they did suggest Champion Tires right up the road in Ringoes NJ. They stock tractor tires and also have pretty good prices and great service. Thanks again.

    Where to buy tires

    Thanks, but I know where there is a TSC, 3 miles from my house. They do not stock the tires I need. I guess I will give them a call and see if they can special order them.

    Where to buy tires

    I am looking to replace the front tires on my B7610 they are 7-12 R4. I cannot find anyone local other than the dealer that has them (for mucho $$$). I looked on line and same thing, seems CUT tractor tires are not that easy to get. I live in NJ which makes it difficult to find AG supply...

    Backhoe for a B7610

    I have been looking to get a backhoe for my B7610 and am interested in your opinions. This backhoe will be used for stump removal (3-10in stumps, several hundred of them), trenching/hole digging and to dig up small trees for transplanting. Not really heavy duty work for the most part so I...

    New to Kubota

    I have the same situation as you do. Bought a used B7610 which IMHO is just right for the job. I do have an old Sears garden tractor for mowing around the house which is difficult with the B because of the tires and maneuverability. You will not regret getting a Kubota tractor, I pinch myself...

    Just Painted my B7800

    Amazing job, I really like the attention to detail like not painting the nuts and bolts. I am looking to paint my B7610 probably next summer. How did you paint it, did you take it all apart and paint each piece or tape it?

    For Sale B6000E for $1500 WOW!!! in Missouri/US

    My rule of thumb for Craigslist is, if it does not have a phone number to call, I'm not interested. More often than not its a scam especially with the price too good to be true, usually it is. Joe

    mower mounting hardware

    I just picked up a used RCK60-24B MMM for my B7610. The mower was off of a B7500 and it came with the mounting hardware. Will the hardware work on my B7610 or do I need to get specific mounting hardware for my tractor? Thanks Joe

    How to determine type of liquid ballast

    Hello everyone, First, thanks for those who replied to my post on manuals for my new used B7610 with FEL. I now have manuals in hand. In reading the manual I found out that it is very important to have rear ballast to even out the weight when using the FEL for safety and traction. So I...

    New member, service manual?

    Hello, I just purchased a used 2005 B7610 with LA352 loader. It did not come with manuals. Where can I buy the service and owners manual online, from a reliable website? I did a google search and found a site that said the service manual is discontinued, can that be true for a tractor only 5...
