Kubota B7100 Sweeper

[Centron]

If you where to attach a sweeper to a B7100 could you power the sweeper via the drive-shaft that goes to the front wheels?

 

[Eric McCarthy]

No thats the drive shaft that powers the front axle and it does not spin fast enough to power anything else other then the front end.

 

[Centron]

Then what options is there to add a sweeper?

 

[hodge]

You could find one hydraulically driven, and run it off of the tractor hydraulics.

Kubota sells a sweeper for some of its models, From the pics it appears to be hydraulically driven

 

[Eric McCarthy]

Quicker cheaper option is to get a sweeper that hooks to the 3pt hitch and is powered off the PTO

 

[Centron]

But isnt there an option of having a B7100 with front mounted pto? And another question as well. What is the differens between the B7100 and the B7001?

 

[Eric McCarthy]

There sure is if your tractor is equiped with a mid mount PTO.

The Kubota B7100 is the North American model and the
Kubota B7001 is a grey market tractor from outside the United States
