On my little B6100 with FEL and box blade, using the steering brake I can still turn it around in about the same spot as a larger skid steer. Both my 'keeper' tractors have loaders but I do have a tractor i bought to resell which has no loader. I used it with a bush hog one time and could see...

Well a sufficiently big deep socket would probably work as long as the wall thickness didn't interfere with the crank pulley. There may be a special tool for it, something like this tool which is for holding old Honda engine crank pulleys (though this is to hold the pulley, not the nut, but the...

Have you considered putting a hefty 'hinge' at the bottom of the forks and have them point up and clip/strap up for 'stowage' when not in use? That way you don't have to keep them somewhere else, their weight held close to the plate shouldnt cost you much lift when not using them, and you could...

Generally i've just seen people sawing off to the side of the actual attachment, not anywhere in the middle of it. But, with forks and a single grapple lid it may be the case that the width of the fork spacing becomes the minimum width of something being 'grabbable' although it would depends on...

^ On a related note, I have a ripper tooth for my backhoe. I don't have a dedicated 3pt ripper per se, but i do have a 3pt receiver hitch, so my plan that I haven't followed through with yet is to just drill 2 appropriately spaced holes in a 2" square tube, pin my backhoe ripper attachment to...

Nice! I'm also sort of surprised you have 8" wide wheels in the first place. I don't know all the wheels these things could have come with but anecdotally ive had 2 6100s and 2 7100s here that i've worked on and the ones that had 16s" looked more like 6-6.5" rims, whereas the 16s on my case are...

I deeply respect the willingness to dive into the math on this because it does work on so many things, but my opinion on this particular subject is that individual tractor tire brand/models vary SO MUCH from their stated specs, that it is nearly a crapshoot and being technically correct with the...

So, arguably you don't really need the nozzle at all for flux-core wire, although it might help a little bit in steady air and a lot more in wind? Dont know, haven't tested, but i run without it. Gives the best visibility, but then of course you 'notice' that not only is the tip itself live when...

Not trying to be feisty to the OP, glad the belt is on and the problem is solved. But for the benefit of anyone else with a similar problem who might come along later..

That is not right. The tensioner is for the belt you're talking about, and there is no 'directionality' to belt tension. The way you use that tensioner is loosen the nut in the middle of the tensioner pulley. That nut locks down the adjustment, you need to loosen it to change the adjustment...

I think Yeswelder recently changed the color on all the welders and so the older 205DS got even cheaper. Which is crazy because anything $3-400 for this functionality is fantastic in my opinion. So on the 205ds the current and wire feed speed are tied together, so while you could put .030 flux...

Unless it is referring to a '1st design, 2nd design' kind of thing where the design of those pieces changed somewhere during the production run and the parts you have only fit the '2nd design', then I don't know why they would say that. If the seals fit, i would ignore it and carry on...

Back when i used the HF 90a buzz box on thin metal, I added jumper cables between the ground clamp and work piece to 'turn down' the welder by adding resistance to the ground path. If you want to get real tricky using crap equipment there are 3 ways to 'wire' jumper cables in the ground for...

Well, color me excited to come across a bunch of reading to do about a turbocharged Kubota 3cyl as i have B6100, b7100, b8200, and an appropriately sized turbo sitting around (among many INAPPROPRIATELY sized ones). I tripled the wheel horsepower of a minivan by turbocharging it on the stock...

I generally wouldn't advise anyone away from the piranha tooth bar as 98% of what i've heard about it is good and I don't actually think i've heard anyone say they regretted purchasing it.. plus as 'implements' go it's cheap! I know it's not exactly an implement but a straight edge bucket and a...

I would just build to the width of the SSQA plate since that's within the range you stated anyway. If you do 3 bottom tines I'd do 2 upper so those could fit between the lowers and let the lid close further. Or 4 on bottom, 3 on top. If you're not planning to do ANY raking with the bottom...

The sad truth on this idea is something can only push down by as much as it is heavy, and the front of the BX isn't heavy enough. It probably takes around 600 lbs downforce to lift the front of a BX, less if you've got a heavy 3pt implement lifted. That's 3 guys or two big guys standing on a...

Ouch on those wheels! Me being lazy and a little odd, since I have access to brake lathes at the school i teach at, whenever I have ugly wheels I chuck them on a brake lathe and just hold an angle grinder with wire wheel against them as they're spinning to get the first ~80% of the junk off. I...

I get you. My B6100 was my first tractor but I have driven some tractors and operated skid steers and excavators before, and i feel that 'machine operator' is basically a subheading under mechanic anyway (Im an ASE master tech and teach automotive at a college). Not that it's not its own...

This tractor is going to be wearing a backhoe for the rest of its life, at least with the current owner, so I removed/disabled some of the 3pt stuff to prevent accidental snags/injuries/damage to the machine. First thing i did was actually swap pressure lines between this 6100 and my own 6100...
