Hi all.
Does anyone know the engine speed for a B6000 at any setting (Idle, WOT, etc)? The speed at the crank pulley would be the best info if someone knows.

Without a tach I have no idea, eventually I may try an external gauge if need be but thought someone might know.

I'm working on adding a FEL, I picked up an old Sears/Kwik-Way loader with its own hydraulic pump and am trying to figure out where and how to power it, off the the front of the crank pulley might be nice, if it's fast enough.

Thanks for reading.

From the manual on Kubotabooks.com 2700 RPM is the right speed for 540 RPM at the PTO, max RPM is 2900. If the front of the crank uses a spline like mine does you're probably going to have a problem finding the female spline adapter for it. You might have to get creative.

Hey thanks! I don't know why but I didn't see it when I looked through the manual...
It don't think mine's splined, but there was a factory front pto arrangement that bolted to it I think.
Anyway, thanks for finding that for me.
