Hi, I recently bought a Kubota B7100. I don't remember the year but it is an older model. I am a horseman and thought it would be fun to turn the Kubota into a "Pokey" so my daughter painted a mane and eyes. I added a forelock and tail. A Pokey rides on the steering wheel and a Gumby hangs from his tail. I am definitely on a learning curve right now as I figure out the angles I need to put the gannon box in order to level and rip a couple inches. As of now I often end up with mountains and craters when the tire goes in a little hole from a horse the box goes up dumping the dirt only to in a few feet the box goes down and digs deep as the hind tire ends in the same hole. So I definitely have to figure that out. As well as while going around the round pen to not have the dirt pile up around the edge. I want to be able to move dirt into holes the horses will create from rolling or digging or just nervous new horses that pace back and forth. I am finding the gear that raises and lowers the box sometimes gets stuck and goes on auto pilot and continues to raise and lower after I release. My friend who spent months taking apart the whole tractor and rebuilding it to be sure it was all safe said it might just need some oiling. So hopefully that will be fixed. I just need to really learn the angles. I saw a few threads on this subject and will be studying more. Thank you for having such a great site that obviously has a lot of great information from people who know.
