- Sold my Kubota B6100 when I moved to WA
Hi, I'm getting a great "deal" on a 1979 B6100.
I live in West Virginia and we have a house on 31/2
acres of ex-pasture land. My Father-in-law who lives
in California said I can have his tractor
if I "just come get it".
Well, I may be dumb but I ain't stupid - I'm hitting
the road in a couple of weeks to drive cross country
and back to get it.
Can you all help me out with a few things understanding
what I'm getting?
He tells me it is a '79 B6100 4WD w/ 6 speed tranny.
It has a B219 Kubota loader with 38" bucket,
An EK-36 36" Ganon scraper, and a FS850 Kubota rototiller.
Here are my questions:
Is this a Cat 0 or Cat 1 3 point hitch?
What type of hydraulic control is on the 3 point hitch,
(lift only, position control, draft control)?
What type of clutch arrangement is the PTO, (Trans driven,
live w/ dual clutch or independent)?
Does the Loader have double-acting hydraulics (i.e.
both lift and down-force)?
Ever hear of the "Ganon" scraper?
I've never owned a tractor before, found discussions of
PTOs, hitches and hydraulics on the web and want to
learn more so I can ask good questions of him when
I pick it up.
Thanks for your help.
