    I love this place!!! Thank you

    I wanted to say many thanks to the masterminds behind this awesome forum. A few days ago I finally spent some money and had my tractor tire's liquid filled, not bad for 50 bucks. I also was looking over the site and I saw where Vic made a video on how to push snow with a blade. It never dawned...

    Sings of when to replace a clutch?

    I've been looking back on past articles about when to replace a clutch and I'm still a bit lost. The clutch petal on my B6100E seems like it has to go down real far to shift direction or speed. The B6100E has a 6 forward 2 reverse transmission and it's only in 5th gear do I get a little bit of...

    Home made Zamboni video

    I was on YouTube looking for a video of what a grader scraper looks like in action and on the sidebar a home made zamboni video caught my eye more then anything else. SO I had to click on it out of curiosity and I thought it would be neat to share and its related to OTT in a way because the man...

    4 wheel drive or not?

    I've been sort of confused for years about FWD on tractors. I hear all the time that with 4 wheel drive the tractor has a greater draw bar horsepower and can pull down a house, but over use of the 4 wheel drive can break the front axle in half. A few years ago I used to drive trucks for a local...

    3 speed pto

    I've always wanted to know what is the reason for Kubota putting a 3 speed pto on some tractors? My B6100 has a 3 speed and I dont think I've ever used #2 or #3, I did one time played with the #2 speed and it scared the hell out of me and didnt want to try the 3rd speed. If I rememeber correctly...

    How popular are sub-compacts???

    I have been trying for two years to sell my Kubota B6100E to upgrade and get something a little larger like a L175 or L185 for example. And I can't seem to find anyone who would be inclined to buy mine. I have talked to the dealer and the salesman said they dont last long on the lot, everone...

    Weather proofing tip and beating the elements.

My dad is one of those types who doesn't throw away alot and if its free its better. So he was able to get ahold of several bed liners free from a...

    Something keeps killing my battery!

    I have a Kubota B6100E and something keeps killing my battery. I went to the dealer and asked the shop foreman what it could be and he told me he has never heard of a tractor doing what mine does. I can put on a brand new battery, charge one or jump start it off my truck and the tractor will...
