I'm looking for a rear scraper or box blade etc but a little unsure which is the better tool to get. Having not had the need until now to use one on a compact tractor, i am looking for some advise on which is the best tool to use on my B7100 and B8200 for grading around my pond. I would liketo...

I'm off on another thread, i'm not biased to any specific kubota tractor , but, the early "B" series have to be at the top of my list. I have tried a fair few various kubotas but i still come back to my good friends the B6000, 7100 and 8200 , to me they are like your trusty old indoor slippers...

Hi all, just purchased my first mid-sized kubota a few hours ago. It is a nice and original L275 (2WD) with approx 1600hrs which looks to be right in comparison to the overall condition of the machine. Anyway, it will interesting to see how it compares to my other kit, its got a cab so i'll be...

Warning , very long post i'm afraid, maybe a bit boring for some folks;);) Hi all, just thought i would add some details of my recently completed backhoe/loader subframe project. As from my other post a while back i purchased an old lewis 200 backhoe, which, turned out needing a lot of work on...

As in the title really guys, my somewhat longer than expected backhoe restoration and refit project is now finally completed, and i must say that i'm very pleased with the results so far. Its taken a lot longer than i had hoped to honest , mainly due to work commitments and family probs but got...

A question for anyone in the know really when it comes to engineering in steel etc. I am about to start fabricating the final part for my backhoe, its a new subframe. The original subframe was not supplied but i did have the end of it still bolted to the backhoe main chassis. Basically 2...

Hi all, I'm planning on doing some long overdue land drainage work shortly in an attempt to help our water logged property during the winter period. I'm going to be using my recently rebuild lewis 200 backhoe fitted to my B8200 for the work. Working Space andvery limited access is a factor so...

A question for those in the know as i need some guidance on the subject.

I've had another one of my mad ideas this afternoon with a solution (hopefully that is) to my ongoing issue of front counter weight when using my recently aquired lewis backhoe . As i currently don't have a FEL for either, and nothing seems to be forthcoming, i have decided the best option is...

Hi all, I have been on the lookout for another backhoe to fit my B7100 & B8200 but until now nothing has come to light, well not at a lowish price that isn't rubbish that is. Some of you may recall a had a KB180 that was in a somewhat poor state of repair and even more problems came up with it...
