    Back blade for ice removal

    I also have a black top drive , run a blower up front and back blade. My B7100 is lighter and less HP than I would guess yours is? The ONLY time that I can clear ice from the blacktop is in the spring when it starts thawing underneath and looses its grip on the asphalt surface. The back...

    Daily Chuckle

    I get walnuts from a walnut tree, hickory nuts from a hickory tree, hazelnuts from a hazelnut scrub. :unsure: How come I get acorns from an oak tree and not oak nuts?

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    Thank you! I agree with you on the aesthetics! I prefer tractors and trucks to have a more "squared off" appearance but a lot of that is my age catching up to me! :)

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I have maintained my blacktop driveway and my neighbors gravel driveway with my B7100 with B2650 front mount blower and 6 foot scraper blade for 13 years now. Here in central Wisconsin we rarely see 12 inch plus storms, most are in the 4 to 8 inch range. I use the scraper blade 90% of the...

    Snowblower mod

    I cut and installed rubber conveyor belt to the tips of the impeller on my Kubota B2650 front mount blower. At the time my driveway had crushed red granite stone. The size was perfect to get wedged between the impeller and the impeller housing. Really tore the housing up. The rubber closed the...

    Does anyone Collect Antique Cars?

    I love it! My dad was a police officer for a village in southeast Wi from 1964 and took a moonlighting job as an ambulance attendant . My memories of John Wards ambulance is very much like your's. (y) If not mistaken at that time the village did not own any and contracted out to private...

    A RED Kubota…?? Really..?? And Why Leasing may beat buying.

    My thought without any context was perhaps it is a tractor for a Breast Cancer awareness event or fundraiser. Plenty of examples of pink tractors on the "net".

    70's kubota B6000e

    Did a bit of searching. The B6000 owners manual mentions radiator capacity is .79 gallons. I do not see that it mentions total cooling capacity. I know, not much help as to your specific question. My B7100, which has a 3 cylinder engine but somewhat similar frame specifications and class of...

    Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

    I was looking thru some older pictures and came across this one. My son sitting in one of my spare chairs getting some love from Machen circa 1996. Machen was one special 4 legged friend! Loved to "gallop" along side my four wheeler down at my recreation land, able to go for miles. She spent...

    iPhone / iPad questions

    iPad's are available Wifi only or wifi/cellular. Mine for example is a WiFi only model with no provision for a SIM card. Even with a iPad with cellular and sim slot I do not believe a iPad can function as a voice phone. It simply allows one to connect to the internet via cell towers. There...

    To Plow or not To Plow

    What county are you located? I live in Waupaca County with my land in Waushara County which is central Wi. I am real familiar with Forest county , the Crandon area in particular. There is a big difference in snow fall per winter between where I live and Forest county for example. If it was...

    Bolt on bucket chain hooks

    I installed one of Ken's excelent bolt on hooks in the center on my L2501's loader. My thoughts were to add two more when I get a chance. My grapple spends most of the time on the loader but it sure is handy to have hooks when needed. I did not rig the compactor , I would have used a chain or...

    56 acres of overgrown ex Christmas tree plantation with great habitat restoration potential! And all the continuing expenses, equipment, labor that goes along with it! :ROFLMAO: yikes! Congrats on your upcoming retirement! (y)

    I use a Winchester 670 chambered in 30-06, (long story on this rifle). Thankfully we do not have a straight wall limitation or a minimum point restriction. With the purchase of a buck tag I automatically receive two extra doe authorizations . This was my first buck out of my blind in the same...

    Shot down to my land today to check snow depth and a few trail cams. Our gun season in Wi starts Saturday morning. My blind is in the back round. The trail that these deer use angles across the blind about 25 yards in front and then runs along side as shown. Of course all of this action...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Had our first measurable snow here in central Wisconsin which gave me a excuse to fire up my B7100. Since I have the L2501 at my land the 7100 is pretty much relegated to snow fighting duties. The video is akin to watching paint dry but here it is. :)
