    Hi guys, time to try and repay you all for the help i've received from you all to date. On the basis of how hard and time consuming it can be to source original spec and parts number of older kubota kit, i thought i'd offer my help with a few bits. I have an original spec sheet for the S-850...

    hydraulic pump upgrades.

    hi all I finally managed to get my b6000 loader sorted out, took me a bit more cash than expceted but it was worth it (i think). I fitted a new spool with 2 new lift rams (now double acting) and modified the the bucket ram setup to use just 1 single centre mounted ram, and it works fantastic...

    Bucket Rams, single or double , thats the question.

    hi all Whilst i deal with my other loader issue i have found that my bucket rams rods are bent, not to the point where they wont slide(they slide in but only 3/4 ways then they stiffen up and i need to get aggressive with them) ,so enough to need replaceing sooner than later. I have been looking...

    strange hydraulic problem, can anyone assist.

    hi everyone just a short question about hydraulics. I got my FEL loader all fitted now to my B6000 and all seems fine but for one thing, the lift rams are very slow on lowering when using the spool valve with the hyd pump running. The rams are the original 1 way operation for lift and gravity...

    B7100 rops.

    hi guys just a short one , will a ROPS from a B7100 fit a B6000. I understand that it should fit a 5100/6100, I was thinking that since both the 5100/6100 are very close to a b6000, there may a chance it would fit. any thoughts. rob

    4 in 1 loader buckets for "small " compact's.

    Whilst i was thinking about the setup of my FEL the thought crossed my mind about 4 in 1 loader buckets. I've seen plenty on mid range compact and larger but nothing on small kubotas. Now i know the B6000 is what you can call "small", but i cant see any reason why a 4 in 1 can't be used...
