    B6100 to buy or not to buy

    Shes home. The longer glowplug cycle helped but it is cold blooded. While using it I did run into another issue, sometimes when I push the clutch in with the unit in gear it will start to growl/vibrate and it is difficult to take it out or switch gears. If I let the clutch back out and push it...

    B6100 to buy or not to buy

    The smoke is black and there is alot when it first starts. It eventually clears up in 15-20 sec. I was reading a few other post on here that said you should cycle the plugs for close to 60sec. and Im sure we didn't wait that long. Once the rig is running it doesn't seem to smoke much unless you...

    B6100 to buy or not to buy

    Sounds good I checked the PTO while I was there and it was CW. He said he has all the manuals and the original bill of sale along with a pile of receipts. The smoke was the main concern for me, it starts kind of hard compared to my dads 1750 and smokes more. But unless something happens when...

    B6100 to buy or not to buy

    I looked at the tractor this A.M. and the hood says it is a 6100 but the serial # stamped in the case says b6001. This isn't something grey market and the pto should run CW correct? It does smoke a little more than Id like to see but I have him down to $2600.

    B6100 to buy or not to buy

    I came across a 1978 B6100 4x4 gear driven, front end loader, small box grader, and a 4' brush hog. Tractor has seen its share of use after all it is 32 years old. It has an hour meter that is broke at 1700. It seems like it starts a little harder than it should but not sure if the glow...

    B7100 help

    Im familiar with the Kubota work ethics as my dad has a b1750. Thats kind of what I wanted to know is how the later model 7100 stacks up to the same year 1750.

    B7100 help

    Hi, I am looking at a 1993 b7100hst. Do the later model 7100 have an updated cooling system--water pump/stat? Are ther any "issues" with these units to be aware of or should I keep looking for a 1750? Thanks for any input.
