    Bought a new B6000

    Greg The S850 rotary hoe was designed to run on the B6000 so no modification needed. Any slasher will connect to the B6000 no modification needed - just that its a size that allows you to connect the 3 point linkage - Cat 1. You will need to buy an adaptor though that converts your 10 or 18...

    Bought a new B6000

    Hi Greg To turn off the B6000 just idle right down until it cuts out. Yes the b6000 will have plenty of grunt to run up to a 4 foot slasher - about 3.6 ft is perfect as it covers wheel widith. It also runs the S850 rotary hoe really well which is 3ft wide. You can buy two new glow plugs off...

    Bought a new B6000

    Greg Here is the link for the manuals http://www.kubotabooks.com/AutoIndex/ The B6100 operator manual will be close to the b6000. Also the engine shut off lever is actually a decompression lever and shouldn't be used for turning off the engine. See some of my earlier posts. I have actually...

    My Orange Kubota Tractor

    Hi Chief We should patent that wax! Your B6000 looks like a beauty. The pto does run anticlockwise but don't let it hold you back. You can buy a pto adaptor which will convert that output shaft to the standard 6 spline 1.3/8 pto shaft and then implements will hook striaght up to standard pto...

    Bought a new B6000

    Hi Greg The B6000 is probably the best tractor kubota ever made:D :p Its a full on Kubota and you can get them dirt cheap as the PTO spins backwards which puts most people off. They run slashers and their rotary hoes really well and the only problem with the pto occurs if you want to run...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Hi Ipz2222 Thanks for the advice, its actually good to have people give some thoughts. I had planned on adding a gussett as you suggest and wanted to incorporate the mounting pin for the bucket tip ram at this point. I thought I would just weld 4mm plate both sides for these. I haven't attached...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Well its starting to look like a loader now. Main arms are finished and I have mounted the main lift rams. I have also added cross bracing back to the front bumper. Seems to work well. Anyway next weekend I will add the bucket tilt rams and attachment pins to the bucket. They look like they...

    I did it

    Hi Pulsnitzer Your B7000 parts should be pretty similar to a B7100 (non-gray market). So just get a copy of any of the B series parts manual and order parts through part numbers at your dealer. Just tell them its for a B6100, B7100 etc You can get a lot of the parts manuals here for many of...

Not sure what the problem was with the new decomp valves I brought. they seemed to work OK for a few days but I the got...

    B6000 white smoke - decompression

    Well just to finish this post off I purchased new decompression valves and springs and put the tappet cover back on. Fired up the Beast and she runs as clean as ever. No white smoke :D Anyway thought I'd just post an outcome so if others notice one day when they start there old B series Kubota...

    I did it

    Hi The valve for the AUX hydraulics should be between your legs and should look like the first photo attached. You will need to unscrew the plug and put on a hydraulic hose. This will give you a single acting type cylinder. Controlled off your three point hitch leveller. If you don't have the...

    B6000 white smoke - decompression

    Hi Well I fired up the B6000 today and noticed it was blowing white smoke and running strangely. Its always run clean and I'd just been playing with the decomrpession lever. Anyway I thought it was most likely due to this so I removed the tappet cover and it looks like the decompression valve...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    A little progress. Just about completed the uprights which I made from 75x75x6.5 mm RHS which I had laying around. Figured I could go a little heavy here as its not being lifted:D and also made the mounting plate for control lever. Now moving onto the loader arms which I am building out of...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Hi Vic Yes I think I need my money back for that wax! It was like it when I brought it:p, but a respray is the next job after the loader build. I've already brought all the decals (some hard to find - like the pto speed one) and plan on following your article on respraying to make it look new:D...

    B6000 Rotary Hoe / Tiller

    Thanks Vic I mounted it today to my B6000 and it works fine. I bit of a two man job putting on and off as it is not a 3 point linkage but it really works well tilling the ground. Is the S850 the same as an SF850? Do you know of a parts manual for the S850? I will put in 80W/90 gear oil and see...

    B6000 Rotary Hoe / Tiller

    Hi I recently purchased a rotary hoe to hopefully bolt onto the back of my b6000 - it looks like it will fit but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Anyway it has no markings on it what so ever. Can anyone out there tell me what model number it is? and also if there are parts and operating...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Hi Well thanks for the photos. They have been a real help. I've started building and have also had some luck. I picked up a B6000 subframe for $50 and also a 1.4m bucket. The subframe bolted straight on (30 bolts latter!) so has been a real find. I'm not sure what it was off as it has some...

    Adding Aux Hydraulics to a B6000

    Hi Todddrummey Thanks for the post. I've actually been in the US for a few weeks with work so haven't had a chance to start building the FEL yet. However I have managed to pick up a brand hydraulics open center controller for $150 which has made me very happy compared to prices back in oz...
