Hi Andy I have done this job a few years ago on my B6000. If you have a look at one of my old posts I have a photo showing the hubs which where rusted and had no oil in them for a long time before I brought the tractor. Anyway being a B6000 it didn't phase it too much:p To do both sides takes...

Hi Dookanooka I brought my hydraulic cylinders 1st and then built the loader frame around them. I used 1.5 on main lift rams and 1 on the bucket tip cylinders. Hydraulic hose size was 3/8. I brought my cylinders from www.dieseltraders.com.au - happy with them and they have worked fine but...

Hi Congrats - you just got given the best tractor Kubota ever made;) Well in my opinion:p. Like you mentioned you can't kill them with a stick! As mentioned check out/search previous posts. There are links for manuals and a lot of information on here related to the B6000. In relation to the...

Hi Bulldog See this post for some photo's of my 'finished' B6000 with home built loader. http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136&highlight=B6000+hydraulics&page=5 Cheers John

Hi Rob Not sure on that hour meter it may be a mechanical unit not an electronic unit. Maybe someone else will be able to give you more information, but I would check first as if its mechanical (i.e. runs of a cable setup like an older car) it will be near impossible to fit to the B6000. I...

Hi Over in Australia I've seen a few of b series kubota's - B6000, 6100, 7100 with dual ag wheels. I've seen at least 4 or 5 and am wondering if these are kubota options or are they aftermarket mod's? They certainly look pretty cool. Anyone own one? and do they offer much more traction...

I really like the small size of my B6000. It surprising where you can go when you have a small footprint. Not sure why they are getting bigger. Also its easy to transport on a tailer. I have used a FORD 1700 (17hp) on my block (3 acres) and compared to my B6000 (13hp) the size difference was...

Hi Check out these previous two links. They will give you all the information you seek and also show you where you can info for the B6000 - note the specific links in these two posts below - it will be worth you effort;)...

Hi Guys Thanks for the kind words and thanks for everyones help earlier on. I couldn't have done it without the help and advice from this list. Regarding lift weight about 200kg lift capacity. It handles full 44 gallon drums which was my goal. However I need the weight on the back which is...

A few more snaps! I also added an hour meter to take the guess work out of servicing intervals;) Cheers John

Hi Well its finally finished :). Its taken awhile but the little beast is now all painted and put back together. I think it turned out alright. Also put new tyres all round. 7x16 on back and 6x12 on the fronts. I previously had rice tyres on and these new R1 lugs make it run soo much...

Hi I use an inverter welder. Its amazing! Its the size of a shoe box and light and can weld 4mm arc rods @ 170 amps. It converts AC to DC so you can use it at the end of a 50 ft extension cord and not melt the cord. I use it on low amps and with stainless rods and can weld very thin sheet...

Hi Rob Mine are 170 mm long. A few pictures attached. I think anything approximately this size will work and it would be easy to fabricate something up. You could easily add wheels if needed. They don't really do anything apart from keep the tiller at a certain depth from the soil surface...

Well I have finished painting all the panels and the loader frame. Now just the blue bits left to go and then add the decals! A few snaps attached. Found the $22 kubota paint no different to the $4 'International Orange':( I used the kubota paint on the tractor panels and the 'International...

If you have a B6000 you are a special person:D Yes there is a secret club also along with a secret handshake so that we can identify one another and make sure no B6100 or B7100 owners don't slip in :p We have an annual conference in Las Vegas every two years as well - invite only ;) Seriously -...

Hi I have actually seen quite a few (5-6) the same colour green kubota's here in Australia. So it seems a little common. I reckon it maybe something like a company like zetor brought a heap of kubota's and painted them all green. It may have even been done at the factory? Would be interesting...

Hi Rob It would be pretty easy to add an alternator to the b6000. However I think you would need to fabricate a mounting bracket. You will see that many b6000 with front end loaders have an extra hydraulic pump which is belt driven off the radiator fan belt. You could easily take this approach...

Pretty disappointing from Kubota. It turns me off when companies do stuff like this. I own the tractor and believe I have the right to know what its been constructed of, how its been put together and the right to be able to fix it myself. Otherwise if I can't do this I really don't own it...

Well painting has started. I decided to paint the 16inch rear rims to replace the 14 inch ones that were originally on the B6000 as my first job. Previously I brought Kubota orange and blue paint for the main body but wasn't sure I had enough to do the wheels as well based on vic's suggested...

Also built some forks for the loader as well over the weekend for picking up logs. They are a bit rough but they didn't cost me anything apart from time and they seem to do the trick. So now all thats left to do is paint it all!
