    B7100 Front Hydro Pump via Crankshaft.

    If these guys say that the FEL will work just fine it will. I've been thinking of why I think my b205 dozer blade's hydraulics are slow when everyone else says their FEL is fine.... I believe it's because they are completely different attachments that move and are powered in a simular way...

    B7100 Rear Studs On New Hubs

    Tool junkie, Taxing inventory sound like hooey but unfortunately it's a reality. Here is a good article in it referring to the commonwealth of Taxachusetts. http://www.masslive.com/business-news/index.ssf/2012/08/inventory_tax_costs_jobs_study.html D2cat, Thanks for pointing out fastenall...

    48" Gearmore Rotary Cutter Price

    I see most of them new $1000 - $1200 for a good one. At $675 if the gears go and you have to replace it, now your talking $825-$900 invested. Your better off going new at that price. If the deck is solid and he got it for $300 and rebuilt it he is only in it for less than $500, that's a fair...

    Dealer Damaged Wheels

    It's awful that a business would even say something like that to a loyal customer. I shouldn't have expressed violence in my last post, it's not good idea and would not help in this situation even verbally. I never have but the thought has crossed my mind in a few situations :D. Did you...

    48" Gearmore Rotary Cutter Price

    Judging by that photo I would shoot really low. It doesn't look like it was taken care of very well. Some questions to ask the seller and yourself... How much can you get a new one for? How much life does this one have left? Why is the seller getting rid of it? If it looks rough on the...

    48" Gearmore Rotary Cutter Price

    That's not a bad price if it's in good shape. 4ft attachments seem to be the hardest to find, I'm looking as well but they don't come around that often. When they do, the ones I find are in rough shape and they still want a lot of money for them. I usually try to buy at 1/2 price from new if...

    Liquid Ballast

    Wolfman is right, that's about as toxic as you can get with really no extra benefit of weight. Sheets, I've read somewhere that Dish soap was used as well but I don't remember where.... It must have been done in Florida because soapy water freezes. We use a heavy soap/water solution for...

    Dealer Damaged Wheels

    Peter, That's awful customer service, $7000 is a lot of money to spend with anyone! You must be able to keep your composure well, if that was me the cops would have to drag me out of there and taze me to release my grip around his neck. I live not too far from you and have only dealt with...

    B7100 Rear Studs On New Hubs

    The funny part is they want a raise! :D I find that a ma and pa hardware store carries a better stock of basic plumbing parts compared to the bigger corporation supply stores around here. We have three supply stores on the same street in one city, you can stop at all three and still not find...

    B7100 Rear Studs On New Hubs

    I'll have to pop them out and take them around to see if someone can come up with something, I think my best bet is the tire shop. I mind as well change them all out now, after that I doubt they have the strength to even hold the loaded tires on now! It's a pain in the rear to find parts...

    B7100 Rear Studs On New Hubs

    Hello everyone, Just recently had some new tires put on my b7100. I replaced the rear hubs with a new style hubs that I got off of eBay this past summer. When we put the rear tires back on today everything was going smooth. Put the tractor back on the ground and gave all the lug nuts one...

    Liquid Ballast

    You could mix up your own calcium chloride and pump it in yourself. You can get it in big bags of ice melt, mix it up, and pump it in. Like everyone said before tubes are recommend. 5lbs of calcium to one gal of water protects to -52F and would add a lot more weight than anti freeze. Here...

    Liquid Ballast

    Has anyone ever tried using a glycerin/water solution for ballast? A 70% glycerin to 30% water will protect against freezing to -40F. It's non toxic, weighs 26% more than water, and won't corrode anything. I've used it in fire sprinkler systems that are piped with CPVC where propylene glycol...

    need help

    Bulldog, Did you have any problems with gears breaking having the front tires filled? I wanted to fill mine but the kubota dealer said it would destroy the gears and it would feel like it's in 4wd all the time. Mentioned he has a few guys with big rigs like yours that have them filled any...

    BX with Auto-Connect MMM Deck. When?

    My father and I have wondered why kubota hasn't come out with MMM that you drive over. A cheap and easy way to help the guys out there with bad backs is to use a set of low profile snowmobile dollies. Lower the deck onto them before you detach and it slides right out like butter. If you don't...

    From what I've read on here any tiller 4ft or less works just fine. Im sure others have used larger but its not recommend... The possibilities of where to buy one new are endless, I've been looking for a used one for months and have not found anything around me worth it. As for the back hoe...

    Switching From Turf To Industrial Tires

    I'm out in the northern berkshires. I picked up my turf tires on eBay, 10ply both front in rear. Carlisle Multi Trac for the rear and a Kenda trailer tire for the front that has tread like a turf tire. The rears came from Pete's tire barn in Orange, MA, they were at my door the next day

    Dealer Damaged Wheels

    I think this thread answers my question I had today why a kubota dealership I went to today doesn't change tires! I'm sorry to hear about your rims, I'm not a big fan of dealers that don't stand behind their work or products. I agree with the other fellas to go straight to the Kubota corp if...
