New to Forum and tractors

[ossa]

Greetings,

I have a 2004 Kubota B7510 w/350 hrs with FEL, backhoe, 3PH scraper blade and a kludged-on six foot snow plow off a Jeep CJ. I have 10 acres in Vermont with 900 feet of gravel/sure-pack driveway to maintain and lots of landscaping on a new log cabin. The new-to-me tractor is in pretty nice shape, always kept under cover in a care-port. I'm pretty handy with tools and mechanics, able to do anything on a motorcycle (my lifelong passion), but I know nothing about tractors and have everything to learn. So far I've put in a new battery, fixed the stuck diff-lock linkage, increased rear wheel track for room for heavy-duty Vee chains (that was an adventure due to VERY seized hubs), and installed a Kubota block heater. I'm already learning a lot from you all via lurking and searching and look forward to learning more!

Tractors are a joy to use!

Welcome Ossa
You have already done more with your tractor than a good percentage of owners
Nice tractor!
Not sure why the manufacturers still make pin on buckets, it seems silly to me.......
Then people are forced to do things like your snowplow onto your tractor

Welcome to the TBN Forum Ossa.

As a former Vermonter (1956 through 1978), owner of a B7610, and owner of 75 acres in Fletcher, Vermont it seems we have a little in common.

You've got a sweet looking tractor, especially with the backhoe.

And thanks for the pic, we love pics.

Thank you! Very nice setup you had. We have a lot in common. I see a Vee nose enclosed trailer, I have one of them too. I'm just across the river in Barnard!

Thanks newbury. I see you're going to retire to MS? I just retired last September. I highly recommend it!
