my B7100 lift does not operate smoothly at all, tractor only has alittle over 400 hrs on it, but lift needs some adjustment or repairs, is this a normal problem with the 7100 ? power steering would be nice also, otherwise its a great little tractor, pull a 5 ft finish mower with it.

You might as well change the hydraulic fluid since it will drain out when you pull the screen (filter).

The B7100 doesn't have position control. So, when you move the lever back, it raises until you go back to the neutral position. When you pull it towards the front of the tractor, it drops until you return it back. So, to raise to a determined heighth which is less than all the way up, you have to jockey the lever until it is where you want the implement, then return to neutral. Is that what you are refering to? If so, that is normal for the B7100. It is more jerky the higher you have the RPM's, and less jerky at lower RPM's. It is a design that you learn to live with.
While I can accept it on my tractor, because it is what it is, if I were buying a new Kubota, I would expect position control. It is disappointing that Kubota doesn't offer it on all models- it should be a standard expectation.
