    There is an ad directly beneath the search feature and when trying to use the search the drop down comes on top of the ad. As soon as I type anything the ad opens up.

    Suction filter B7100 won't come loose!

    I have a b7100 I bought new in 1992. I have never been able to get the suction filter out. The drain plug on the opposite side came out but not the strainer. At the time I believe I was using a wrench with a cheater and was afraid I would ruin the strainer so I just changed the fluid and filter...

    Help me design a bridge for my Kubota.

    I have a small stream in my back yard that I need to cross mostly for mowing with my RZT 50 but occasionally I need to get my Kubota B7100 across. The Kubota has a FEL and the heaviest rear attachment would be my tiller. I'm guessing the total weight would be around 2,000 lbs. My bridge will be...

    b7100 only 800 hours and rebuilt - why?

    Around 1992 I bought a brand new b7100 with a 1630C fel and a 4' bush hog and 5' box blade complete with tandem axle trailer for the grand sum of $10,500. At 875 hours the cylinders had to be bored and the pistons and rings had to be replaced with the next size over. I now have about 1400 hours...

    OrangeTractorTalks will not close!

    Whenever I am on OTT and want to go to another site it will not close. I have to either open another page(leaving OTT open) or close my browser completely and reopen. Only then is OTT gone. This does not happen with any of my other forums. I am on a high speed cable connection. What gives?

    Removing, repairing and replacing dynamo on B7100

    Recently my bearings seized in the dynamo on my B7100. As anyone who has ever tried to remove their dynamo knows, there is one nut on the bottom that is extremely difficult to get to. Getting it off can be accomplished easily enough by bending a 10mm box end wrench. Getting it back on was the...

    Craigslist and the BX25!

    Six to eight weeks ago I started searching for BX25's on craigslist. At that time there were a few for sale. Since then someone has posted ads all over the Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas and probably more states as well offering to buy BX25's for $6,000 to $12,000. I never see any for...

    How much dirt can a BX25 dig?

    I am wanting to construct a drainage ditch that will channel water into my pond. It's not that the water does not flow into my pond now, it is just that it spreads out and in periods of wet weather the pasture it flows over is so flat that I end up with a swamp. My idea is to dig a ditch about...

    Moving the BX25

    I have hired a number of backhoes with operators in the past and when they are digging and wish to move them a short distance there is a technique they use. They raise the front bucket and stabilizers and use the hoe to push them forward without ever turning the seat to face forward. Do people...

    Trying to figure out Kubota's nomenclature

    As I understand it the letter indicates the frame size, the next two numbers the horsepower but what do the last two numbers mean? Then there is the case of the BX25D which doesn't have two numbers at the end, just one letter. Is there a method here?

    Should I trade my B7100 for a Bx1870?

    I have a B7100 that I bought new in 1992 with a fel. It has had quite a bit of hard use, tilling pumpkin fields. Leveling pads for buildings, lots of loader use, etc. At a little less than 1000 hours I had to have the top end of the motor rebuilt. Currently the loader bleed down so quickly you...
