    Any photos of Kubota back blades?

    With freight, their economy blade is $249 and change. More than $200, and I doubt if it is as heavy duty as the Kubota blade.

    Well... back to the original question- anyone with any photos of a Kubota 3 ph scraper blade?

    Any photos of Kubota back blades?

    I am looking for a 4' blade for my 7100, and have run across a Kubota blade a couple of hours away. The seller is in the hospital right now, so it will be a little while before I can go look at it. Naturally, I am curious about it, and can't find any photos of Kubota blades anywhere. Anybody...

    tractor or diesel ATV

    Very good advice. You need to decide what your priority usages will be, and go from there. I have both- a B7100, and a Honda trx 300 4x4. Both serve their purposes well, but the tractor is more useful, when it comes to work. The tractor will also hold it's value better, and if you study the...

    Kubota B7000 or L175

    Good advice- depending on what you want to do, either one may be too small. The fact that you have that much snow indicates that the 4WD will be better for you than the 2WD- and, as stated, don't be scared of the term "grey market". Do your homework- you can find plenty about both tractors, as...

    1st tractor on limited budget

    I don't have/know specifics, but here are some generals; 1) Find out how many hours are on it. And, what was it used for? General, reasonable work, or was it taxed hard? Naturally, the lower the hours the better, but that doesn't always mean that it is in better shape. A high hour tractor, that...

    Need Rototiller for 4750

    Probably most any brand will work for you. What's your price range, what's in your area, and are you willing to order on line? I really like how my King Kutter is built, but I knew that most any would work- but, that was available, priced well, and a nice unit. My advice- whatever you buy, make...

    Yanmar owner buys a Kubota!

    I, for one, am not offended. In light of the initial information given, it was hard for me to understand why you would be upset, if you didn't do your due diligence. Knowing more now, I agree that she manipulated you. I concure- she knew that something wasn't right, and she alluded that if you...

    Sorry went green

    Wow, that's petty. Don't assume that your voice represents mine. Goochy has every right to buy what he wants, and John Deere makes good equipment. No one should have to grovel to another person for his or her choices- do you make every choice based on what others think you should do? Of course...

    Yanmar owner buys a Kubota!

    Sorry that you didn't get what you expected. But, I have to say two things, besides welcome to OTT. One, I don't know all of the circumstances, but I would be surprised if the lady selling the tractor knew the condition of it. So, she can't be much to blame. But, in all of your work to pull it...

    My sentiments too, Dave.

    chain breaking

    They are pricey ($160 at my local Tractor Supply), but you could always get a slipper clutch for it. They even have complete drive shafts, with the clutch included, for $199.

    Maximum weight of rototiller B7000 can handle

    It was pretty out today, and I couldn't stand it. I put the tiller on the 7100, cut the shaft to length, then went to the garden to give it a try. Dad plowed it about 2 weeks ago, since we have had real warm weather lately. On the first pass, I tilled about 3" deep, with no issues. So, on the...

    Which Rototiller for B7100?

    I just bought a King Kutter II 48" standard rotation for my B7100. Of course, I haven't gotten to use it yet. I searched and studied, and came to the conclusion that it was a sound buy. I would have been happy with a lighter duty tiller, because I will only be using it once a year, for two...

    implements on the ground

    You need to look at the glass half full. Not "excuse"- justification. You NEED one, to preserve the value of your equipment. A pole barn will save money. It will add property value. It will keep you out of trouble. Yada yada yada.

    Maximum weight of rototiller B7000 can handle

    The gear boxes are dry- the dealer told me that beforehand, and I have plenty of gear oil here. As soon as the ice melts off of it, I will fill it up and grease the fittings. I will make it work, whether it be going real slow(er), multiple passes, whatever. Our ground is pretty soft, and the...

    Maximum weight of rototiller B7000 can handle

    http://s65.photobucket.com/albums/h205/br549_red/?action=view&current=tiller005.jpg Not what I wanted to hear! I just bought a King Kutter 48" tiller today! I have a B7100 HST, and assumed that it would handle it fine. The previous owner used a 48" tiller on it with no issues. Oh, well, I'll...

    4WD not engaging?

    That is a good suggestion, but I believe it is time for a new clutch, if he is in low range, on slick ground, and the tires won't spin.

    Kubota B7100HST-D

    Duh... I should have looked. I knew that I had seen it, but I suffer from looking too many places, and can't remember where I saw something. It's a good looking 7100.

    Kubota B7100HST-D

    Hmm... I know that I have seen that tractor for sale before. Was it on here, or Ebay? Or maybe another Craigslist listing? I would make sure that you go see the tractor in person, before passing along any money. I just wish I could remember where I saw it, but I know that I have. And I live in...
