I have a 1997 B7100 hst and there is no mention in my owners manual of greasing the throwout bearing. The red arrow points to a hole in the frame that gives access to a grease zirk. I do not have a workshop manual, perhaps it is covered in it. Can someone confirm this is indeed a grease zirk for...

you might find this useful, from my 1997 B7100hst owners manual. My manual specifies 13.5 liters or 3.6 US gallons. Keep in mind the manual for this tractor was written 22 years ago, products names etc may have changed or modern alternatives might be a better choice.

I went out and got a bit more accurate with my measurements. I used a straight edge. The outside to outside on the rears is 45 inches, not the 44. The fronts are just a tick under that , 44 3/4 Again, this is the side wall measurements. The contact patch on the ground is less of course.

I just measured my 1997 B7100HST with turf tires. The rear hubs are spaced out on the axle as far outboard as allowed. Inside sidewall to inside sidewall on rears are 21 1/2 inches Inside sidewall to inside sidewall on front tires 29 1/2 total width at widest point is the rear turf tires...

Cleaned up a logging staging area with my Kubota B7100hst and 5 foot landscape rake.

Thanks for your input Cathy! Did you feel you were underpowered with the L2501 and the 5 foot cutter? A few more pictures of my B7100 , 13 pto hp , with 4 foot cutter in thick goldenrod and grasses. Cut well but of course slowed the travel speed way down.

This picture shows a maintenance mowing on 5 acres that was seeded this June. The seeding included about 25 different native wild flowers and 5 native grasses. As you might be able to tell the brush cutter is set to about 6 to 7 inches for this session. Just cutting the tops off of weeds...

Paul, My one concern with a flail mower would be cutting at the 8 to 10 inch height. Are flail mowers designed to be suspended off the ground while mowing or are they normally run with the skids having ground contact?

Thank you! I know I had seen that chart before, its now bookmarked.

Thanks for all the thoughtful responses! As far as the cutter is concerned I have till May 2020 to choose. The tractor should be ready for pickup first week in Oct.

I just went online to confirm what I think the dealer told me. The L3301 and L3901 are rated for a six foot cutter. The L2501 is the same frame (wheelbase and track) with very close to the same overall weight and lift capacities. My dealer mentioned that the L2501 would handle the weight of the...

I have considered a flail mower. I like the idea of a flail mower making the whole rig more compact. The weeds that will need to be mowed off before they go to seed will be things like common mullein , spotted knapweed, cool season grasses. Oak and aspen resprouts. What I do not know about...

Thanks! I had noticed some owners of L2501's have installed right fender hand holds, which I think I will end up also. One of the features that Kioti has standard on their "economy" CK2610. How do you find the seat as far as comfort? I know the seat will be a big step up from my lightly...

"I would hope you can share the mods that you make to the l2501 for you to operate it. I am wondering how you get on and off of it." Great question! On my B7100 I installed a hard topped canopy attached to the ROPS , and yes , its welded which I know is not recommended. I have a hand hold that...

I purchased a 56 acre land parcel in central Wisconsin 2 1/2 years ago and have since been involved in prairie/oak savanna habitat restoration/creation that directly benefits the Federally endangered Karner Blue butterfly. After forestry mowing the invasive Scots pines on 28 acres and a seeding...

Just trying to get a handle on these filters. I am not sure I understand what the difference or definition of pressure filter and suction filter is. I double checked with a interchange site, the collasped filter is a Fram Tough Guard 3682, this seems to interchange with the Kubota...

Frank, Thanks for your reply. I did look at the paper and it looked good. Everything you see in the photo is the chips from the bandsawing of the filter. I have installed the new kubota filter , added fluid. The 3pt hitch at this point is 100 percent! Fingers crossed!

I received the Kubota filter from Messicks , great service by the way!, and installed. This is a picture of the Fram after I cut in half with my bandsaw. As a side note, The Kubota filter does not have the inner ring that is cleary shown on the Kubota site. The bottom picture was pulled...

Hypothetical, if the oil filter collasping came first and a piece of the filter material became dislodged would the strainer on the 3pt lift control valve catch it before entering the control valve? I have downloaded the shop manual and was hoping I would find a schematic for the hydraulic...

Thanks for the information and feedback! I did order a new hst filter, Kubota , from Messicks along with a few other items. I have made sure that the limiting stops for the 3pt are adjusted and not binding. The flow control adjustment bolt and jam nut that controls the speed of the implement...
