    block heaters

    Hi GSDGuy. My B7200 had a block heater my B8200 does not. The 7200 would start easy even when it was real cold. The 8200 always starts but if it is real cold it has to be harder on everything. You have to hold the glow plugs on for 30 seconds at least ,its hard on the starter, battery.Whether it...

    Auxiliary Lighting

    Hi Rust addict welcome. Ya Iv'e pretty much maxed out my B8200, I have two halogens on the front of the cab, two regular round aux tractor lights on the back of the cab, I use a power window motor to turn the hood on the blower and a power pedal adjuster to raise and lower the hood, plus I have...

    Interstate Gelcel

    Hi Joe. No I picked it up for $300 last summer with the two new batteries. I figure the motor is still good I am just not sure what I am going to use it for now. I built the grand kids a gocart in the summer. So that option is out. I don't know what i will do with the rest of it. I guess if...

    Interstate Gelcel

    Thanks Aquaforce, I bought a handicap scooter a while ago that had some electrical issues but had 2 new batteries. They both have charged up real fast on a 2 amp charge so that is real good news.:cool: dusty

    540 RPM or 960 RPM on 4' Snow blower~???

    We just don't want you to get bored with your equipment Joe. I agree with you about running the tractor at the lower rpm. You and I have about the same size blower, but your tractor has about 3 more pto hp than mine and mine has no problem with having enough torque at 15 or 1800 rpm. So your...

    540 RPM or 960 RPM on 4' Snow blower~???

    Wow I just read back on this thread and saw your post Joe and the picture. If nothing else get some guards on those chains. They are going to break at some point in the life of the blower and can be very dangerous whether at 540 or 960 rpm.:eek: dusty

    540 RPM or 960 RPM on 4' Snow blower~???

    I have a 4 ft blower on my B8200. It is a ford blower that I put extensions on to make it a little wider than the tractor. It has a gear box no chain. I run it at mid range on the pto. If I run it at 540 I have to rev the snot out the tractor to get it to throw any distance. I think the middle...

    Drilled Hole into Engine Block

    Hi dejohnson, that is nasty. From the sounds of it eserve Knows exactly where you drilled. I don't, but then I am not a Kubota tech , eserve is, so I'm thinking you should be real carefull what action you take next. I don't know what a block for an L2800 is worth plus maybe a new piston, plus...

    Does the B8200 4WD have a lagging Front/Rear setup or negative slippage?

    Hi Perry, I don't Know the math but I have a b8200 Hsd with the same size tires as yours only in r4s. I don,t get much pull either way. :D dusty

    How can I loose stubborn nuts?

    Hope you feel better Joe. When you do get feeling better tear that clutch apart on that blower. If for no other purpose than to clean it up and see what condition it is in. Dirt rust or old dried up grease could be causing it to slip. Take care of yourself.:D dusty

    Front Blade

    Thanks JB. We haven't had much snow either. I have been out 5 or 6 times. But nothing really heavy. I haven't had a chance to use the blade much. It actually tips forward enough that I can use the top of the blade to pull snow away from tight spots. I didn't plan it that way but thats how it...

    3 speed pto

    Hi Eric. The Highest speed would be for a mid mount mower the other two would be for different attachment set up to operate at different rpm's. Just like on farm tractors where some equipment is built to run at 540 rpm and some is built to run at 1000 rpm.:D dusty

    Front Blade

    Hey Guys thanks for the replies. Handyman I am thinking it would be cheaper and easier to change tractors than to try to find all the parts you would need. I think you would need a lot more than just the front axle. Eric the idea with the rubber strip sounds good to me. Wear would be a big...
