    B7100 Front tires - replacements?

    I am glad this tread was started! i Have put off ordering tires for the front of my B7100 due to the 20 x8-10 trailer tires that were installed before I purchased it. Worked but had pre mature sidewall cracking and less than great traction. today I ordered a set of K513’s in the proper size. Can...

    Inletting Marlin 336 Stock

    There comes to mind a few high end rifle makers that offer wood stocks. While some may argue that they are mass producers they build quality , accurate rifles. Kimber, Cooper rifles, Sako are three for example. I love that there is a market and pros and cons for both traditional wood and...

    Inletting Marlin 336 Stock

    Having a medium to show where the wood is contacting the metal is key. Inletting black in a small jar will last many many inletting jobs. The old school way is a soot lamp. I personally would stay away from rotary tools as its easy to remove material in a hurry that might cause a unsightly gap...

    Drill press bites the dust

    This does not surprise me In the least. My father was a tool and die maker for Allis Chalmers tractor division in mid 50's to early 60's. At which time he was hired as a patrolman for a small southeastern Wisconsin community. He gifted me his Kennedy box full of machinist tools. To this day...

    Late Model B7100 battery confusion

    Thanks all for responding! Dave, I was not aware of what the L signified ! That is the sort of knowledge I was hoping to gain from this thread. SDT, "I replaced the battery in my B1750, which is similar to your B7100 (battery on left side between seat and fender), last year." As a side...

    Late Model B7100 battery confusion

    Its time for me to replace a ten year old battery in my late model hst B7100. After doing a search here in this forum I see that some folks say a 51R is a correct battery. My owners manual says that the battery type is a 50B24L I have a cheap group 22 lawn and garden battery in now that has...

    L3200 no till

    And just a FYI. The contractor that no-till planted my 28 acres had this LandPride planter. It was beautifully constructed and very beefy machine. He was pulling it with a Massy Ferguson 1755m which I would guess is much more substantial than a L3200? He covered a lot of ground with it (28...

    L3200 no till

    This is a picture of a little 4 foot no till drill that I used to plant a small area with natives. It had two different boxes that can be filled depending on the seeds your planting. I pulled it with my little B7100 . I would think that there are others on the market that would work well with...

    Tractor detailing?

    I would guess everyones experience will differ and a lot would depend on the tractor. I purchased a Kubota later model B7100 hsd that had about 825 hours on it. What I did was first to wash it as best I could with a hose and soapy water. Then I went into all the small crevices and nooks and...

    UTV for spraying setup

    For what's its worth post. (which might not be a lot, lol). All three of these machines have been on my oak savanna restoration project comprised of about 28 acres of mulching, herbiciding and native seeding. The fellow on the green machine, which I believe is a Polaris also?, spends a large...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    This is one unit of my oak savanna restoration project covered in what I think is hoar frost or possibly rim ice. On the far hill top barely visible is my box blind.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    First snowfall of the year requiring the B7100. I know my priorities are good when my Jeep sits outside and the the B7100 and L2501 reside in the garage! lol

    Vehicle $$$

    I had the same thought when I purchased the L2501 new about a year ago. Other than houses, land , business purchases it was the single largest purchase in my life thus far.

    Anyone have a "Magic Keyboard" ?

    I absolutely love my Ipad. I have a very nice laptop running Windows 10 and have not turned it on in about 4 years. Ipad goes with me everywhere while my laptop was just too bulky to have the same portability. The Ipad takes decent outdoor pictures if the light is good, I check and load pictures...

    Anyone have a "Magic Keyboard" ?

    I purchased the magic keyboard when I also bought my IPad pro. the two positions only really allow for about a 10 degree past vertical. So if I understand your question correctly is that no, you can not set it so the camera faces down. As far as sitting on your lap its stable if it’s in the...

    Whitetail deer checking out trail cam at the pond project

    I am always on the lookout for sheds as the deer population is improving on my place. The way my luck goes at times I will “find” one of the sheds with a filled tire on the L2501! 🤪

    Whitetail deer checking out trail cam at the pond project

    I have been pretty happy with this trail cam. The daytime pictures and video are very nice compared to some of my other branded cameras. Browning 850 Defender One of the features is that it has WiFI and Bluetooth which allows me to to change settings, retrieve videos or pictures from a short...

    Whitetail deer checking out trail cam at the pond project

    Thank you! Almost from the moment I first started digging and had some rain wildlife started visiting. From field mice, cotton tail, coyotes, birds and up to deer. I had no other water feature on my property before this. Next spring/summer I will line with hopefully 6 to 8 inches of high clay...

    Whitetail deer checking out trail cam at the pond project

    I had watched this guy hang out on my property since early in velvet. I think of all the deer I have either got on trail cam or seen in person this one is my favorite.
