I had a TX1500 for about 20 years. It would not start in cold weather even with glow plugs. A battery out of an 86 V-8 Mustang will just fit with a little help and covering the battery terminals when installed. Be sure to replace battery cables with larger ones. Even with a bigger battery it...

I just had a pipe threading project. I went to a used tool store. I found a nice quality hardly used Rigid thread die and ratcheting handle for $50. The tool store owner said he would buy it back for $25 when I am done. I felt like this was a good deal for both of us.

My B7800 does not have clearance for tire chains. Does anyone know of 1 inch spacers that I could install between hub and wheel for chain clearance?

I have an older B7800 with a LA-402 loader. The Kabota salesman told me that there were no conversion kits made to convert my loader to a quick disconnect modern style. He indicates I need to buy a new loader. Is that correct?

I have a B7800 tractor. My wife would like to spot spray for weeds and non native grass. A 3 point tank and a PTO driven pump with a hand held spray nozzle. Any body have a recommendation?

Great Idea---why didn't I think of that!

I have a B7800 Kabota that I bought 6 mos. ago. I told my wife about the idea she could use it for spaying weeds from the operators seat with a hose and a trigger operated valve. She likes the idea. I showed her the controls and she took it out for a spin (tractor style.). I can see my wife...

I just bought a B7800 HSD. I ordered an operators manual, parts manual and work shop manual. I just received my manuals and I could wait till Monday and ask the Kabota dealer where I bought the manuals but I would like to open them if they are correct. My work shop manual front cover has...

Replaced the eight year old battery in my B7800. Before I removed my old battery I checked charging voltage and it was 12.4 volts. I installed my new NAPA Legend battery and it was still charged at 12.4 volts. I am waiting for my manual so I have to rely on you guys. My experience tells me...

New to me B7800 Kabota. I will be leaving my tractor in a shed but open to the weather. We have -10 degrees in the winter, are the glow plugs adequate to start it or do I need a block heater?

My B7800 new to me. When on gravel or dirt and turning sharp the inside rear tire jumps and spins a little. The differential lock is not engaged. Is this normal?

I have a new to me B7800 HSD Kabota tractor. I use my right foot to activate the hydrostatic drive. When I remove my right foot the tractor stops immediately. How do you use the foot brakes for steering assist when you are pulling hard? Or when you are pushing a lot of snow and you need...

I am in the market to buy a snow bade for my B7800. The local Kubota dealer recommends Land Pride from Kansas City. Are these any good? What are you using?

Sold my Iseki TX 1500F today. Picking it up tomorrow. Posted it on Craigs list at 9 PM by 7AM I had three people that wanted to see it. By noon 12 inquiries. The second person who looked at it bought it. My father-in-law bought it new, always parked inside. It had original paint, I think...

B7800 tractor and loader I just moved up from my 17HP Iseki to a 29 HP B7800 Kabota. It has a loader model LA402-1. This tractor was used for cleaning up horse manure so they bought the cheap loader. The bucket does not detach from the loader frame. I bought the tractor for snow...
