I found a nice used 2005 M6800 but it doesn't have a BH. The dealer said Woods did not have BH listed as available for the M6800. I did a search and found a short discussion back in 2012 about this but it wasn' conclusive. Does anyone know if a BH is available for the M6800 ?

I am thinking about buying a new M7060 that has A DPF. Can anyone confirm how long these filters last and what is the replacement cost ? I thought I read somewhere that at some point it is a $3000 situation! Also, my understanding is as this filter deteriorates the tractor performance will...

I've been running an mx5100 for 5 years. It's been a great tractor. But I need just a bit more pto hp to run my airblast sprayer in the orchard. The 5100 runs it until I start up a hill and then it bogs down I little. But I don't want a physically larger tractor. I noticed the L6060 gives 53...

I currently have a MX5100 and I work a 20 acre peach orchard. I could use a little more power to run my Airblast sprayer but I don't want a bigger tractor. So I am starting to consider the 7040 narrow. It is only 48" wide and is also lower. I think it might be just what I need in the orchard...

After much thought I took delivery of a new 825i gator last Friday. The Mule Pro FX came in a real close second place. I thought both machines were great but the primary difference was in the dealerships. I went to three different Kawasaki dealers in the area and I just didn't hit it off with...

I have been running my Rears 300 gallon Airblast Orchard sprayer with my MX5100 for about 5 years?. The problem is the MX5100 can barely make the 540 at the pto on level ground. My orchard consists of 10 acres of peach trees. (About 3000 trees) With the tank full & the 3'diameter blower running...

My MX5100 is 3 years old and I have had this problem 3 or 4 times before. It is HST drive and something happens with the forward / reverse pedal and it doesn't make home position which won't permit it to start. Sometimes you tap it with your heel or toe and it will start. I usually have the...

I am looking at buying a 2012 Land Pride RCD1884 Offset Rotary Cutter. The Specs say it has slip clutch driveline protection. This unit has two spindles and two gearboxes. My question is does each gearbox have it's own slip clutch or is there just one? Also, I noticed one gearbox is 65 HP and...

I have been using two Stihl chain saws for the last few years. One was an ms250 and the other is a ms 361. I use the saws quite a bit. We generally cut between 10 to 15 chords of wood each year. Anyway, the last two years the ms 250 has been Nickel and diming me to death. More importantly, my...

I think this is common knowledge but I thought I would publish my experience anyway. I purchased a B2620 a couple years ago and I mow a lot. We now have 700 hours on the tractor. I am on my third mower position control assembly. Installed these assemblies run approximately $275. The B2620 has...

I was at the local mall the other day and I was walking down the main concourse and came to a fairly large display of Club Car and Star Ev utility vehicles. I had some time kill so I struck up a conversation with the salesman. I was skeptical at first but the longer I listened the more impressed...

I started having problems with the directional control valve on my log splitter. It has a feature that automatically releases the handle when the cylinder is retracted. This allows for hands free retraction after splitting a log. The splitter is about 12 years old. It is a 33 ton Troybuilt...

I am not a big gun nut. I own a shotgun and maybe a half box of shells. But there is something about a foreigner especially from not so Great Britain trying to take my second amendment right away that really upsets me. I hope this is not to political for this site and I don't really want to...

I have a b2620 with 150 hours on it and all of the anti scalp wheels have fallen off of the mower deck. The front two broke clean at the joint. (poorly welded joint) the back ones gave up because the bracket material thickness is less the 1/16" thick. I bought a $14000 lawn mower hoping I would...

I have owned several Stihl saws but my last choice of buying a ms 250 has been quite a disappointment. It is very difficult to start when it is hot. Actually it doesn't start very well when it is cold either. When cold it starts but keeps bogging out when you try to give it some gas. When hot it...

We bought a new B2620 with a 60" mower a couple months ago to use primarily as a mower. About 3 weeks ago after my wife finished mowing I noticed the left front anti-scalp wheel bracket was broke. The weld joint broke on the end nearest the wheel. (not where it welds to the deck) Upon closer...

We have a 12 acre orchard (peaches, apples, and nectarines) plus about an acre of strawberries. The orchard is 5 years old and every year I find it necessary to water. I also need water for spraying chemicals. I have access to a large pond about 3/8's of a mile (one way) from the orchard...

For the last 5 years I have been taking my tractors to my dealer for service. I am going to retire next year and I need to find ways to save money. I now have two tractors. (MX5100 & B2620) I am thinking about doing the general maintenance intervals and only taking them in for certain major...

I just bought a new B2620. Since we are going to use it for just mowing the first thing I wanted to do was take the 3 pt arms off so I didn't have to worry about backing into anything. The dealer said if you take the arms off the deck will not go up or down. What kind of hokey deal is this? Does...

Finalized a deal today with my favorite local dealer (Phil's Sales and Service in Columbiana, Ohio) for a new B2620 with a 60" MMM. This will be my fifth Kubota in 5 years. I just love getting new tractors, I must be a distant relative of johnthomas. I originally started out with a BX2350. I am...

This is probably a dumb question but is there any tricks to getting a water pump primed easier? I have to pump water out of the pond and into my orchard sprayer. i have to spray alot so this has gotten to be a real PIA. It is supposed to be a self priming pump but I would like to talk to the...

Well, it's that time of the year. I took a week off work. (vacation) and started pruning my Peach orchard. So far I have pruned about 500 trees. Since I have 2000 trees that puts me at 25% done. My goal is to get 1000 trees done this week. My trees range from one to four years old. I can't...

I bought a Troybuilt Horse Tiller a couple tears ago. It has a Briggs Intek engine and the maual doesn't say anything about HP. It does say it is 305 CC's. I found online a formula that says you divide CC's by 15 to get HP. That makes this thing 20 HP, Is that possible? I have been telling...

My buddy at work lives down the road called and ask if I could bring my tractor down and offload a woodstove from a trailer. I said no problem, I'll be right down. Even though it was raining a little I headed out to help him. I pulled in his drive and holy cow, there was one of the biggest...

I have inherited an older "Perfect" finish mower model # S-380-ZA. These were made in Holland and are an unusual design. It has 4 blades plus one on a swingarm for mowing around fruit trees. The blade on the spring loaded swingarm is mounted in a housing that spins and has a rubber tube (bicycle...

I am going to add the Back Hoe to my MX5100 next month. My dealer usually orders them with an 18" bucket. I am thinking about also getting a 12" bucket. I have alot of drainage lines to put in and I would think the smaller bucket would be better for digging stumps. It seems the smaller bucket...

I bought an 84" FFC Hyd. Angle front QA Snowplow to mount on my new MX5100 Kubota. We finally got nour first snowfall yesterday.There was only about 4" of snow but I have been eager to try out the new set up, so I decided to clear my three driveways. (about 2000' total plus parking and turn...

Recently I bought an airblast orchard sprayer with a blower that pushed my new MX5100 to the limit. Actually the blades had an adjustable pitch which I had to lower to the mid range to get 540 rpm's out of the PTO. I was also getting nearly 20GPM at 300psi out of the pump. Both are driven off...

As promised Kurt Ackerman from George Ackerman Co. delivered my Rears Airblast Sprayer yesterday. Rears is American made in Eugene Oregon. Ater studying sprayers all summer I decided Rears was the best value for the money. It has a 300 gallon stainless steel tank, 32" adjustable blower fan...

No I'm not in prison, but sometimes I feel like it. I'm 62 years old and I've been at my job 27 years. I am one of our company's top managers. I appreciate my job but man do I have to put up with a lot of crap. Sometimes I don't know which is worst, the workers under me, or the owners over me...

Two years ago I bought a Befco 84" RFM with pneumatic tires. Although I tried to keep the air pressure up, invaribly they would come off the rim when I would back up. If I wouldn't see it right away the tire would be destroyed. After going thru 3 or 4 tubes and 3 or 4 tires I gave up and...

On My last two Kubota 's ( B2920 and L3700 ) the sway of an implement was taken up by loosening a nut and turning a turnbuckle until you got precisely where you wanted to be. My new MX5100 is totally different. There are inner and outer tubes with holes drilled on about 1" centers. You choose a...

My new MX5100 finally arrived late this afternoon. I did two laps around the orchard with the FEL on, and then did two more laps with the FEL off. All total I put one hour on her. Didn't go above 2000 RPM. She was a bit bouncy with the FEL on, however when I took the FEL off she felt like my...

Ok guys, I 'm getting a new MX5100. I have access to heavy plate, a burning table, and a CNC machine. I am thinking about making my own custom rear wheel weights. I want to trick them out a little. The ones I have seen look like rings. I would like to burn rounds out 4" thick solid plate. Put...

After 525 hours on my L3700 I have decided to up size to the MX5100. When I stop and think of how much I have accomplished with the L3700 over the past 16 months, I am very impressed. The MX5100 has some big shoes to fill. Between my orchard and my son's house, it has kept about 20 acres mowed...

I closed a deal today on a new MX5100. I'm going with R1 tires, QA bucket, and an FFC 84" Hyd. Angle front blade. This thing caught my eye at the local fair in early September. It was love at first sight. I'm trading in my L3700 with a little over 500 hours on it. The L3700 is a great tractor...

OK, I checked out the impressive do it yourself FEL snow plow projects. I don't have the time, equipment, friends, or skill to build my own. Does any body sell an out of the box system I can easily attach to a Kubota MX5100 FEL? I can handle a cople hoses or a simple mounting plate but no...

I am thinking about upsizing from an L3700 to a MX5100 tractor. My question is can I use the BH 76 BH from the L3700 on the MX series tractor? I don't use the hoe alot so it seems like a waste to buy new equipment. The BH 92 is real expensive and I really don't need that heavy of a backhoe.

I sure underestimated the size of tractor I needed back a few years ago when I bought my first Kubota (BX2350) I just turned over 500 hours on my L3700 to find out I will need a larger tractor to run the new Rears Mfg. airblast sprayer that should be here around October 1 st. Yep, I will need...

I have been looking for a used Air Blast Sprayer for the last six months. I have a small orchard ( 2000 peach trees ) that I started three years ago. They have out grown the small skid sprayer I bought at tractor supply three years ago. I want a 200 to 350 gallon unit and something in good...

Can anyone tell me if is possible to put a front snow plow on my Kubota L3700? Thanks! cj

I think others have complained about this but I'm not sure if there is a remedy. I now have over 200 hrs on my L3700. It has exceeded my expectations and suits my needs well. So far my only complaint is the throttle lever has gotten more difficult to move since new. I thought it would get easier...

Or lack of adjustment. I put my BH 76 on the L3700 for the first time and couldn't believe how cramped the seat area is. (and I am not a big guy) Is there a way to ajust these or have I missed something? I am way to close to the controls. cj

I found a two row cultivator that has a tag that says it is product of Pittsburgh Forging company ( farm implement division ) It is in good shape but the replaceable shanks need replaced. They have two plow bolts that hold each shank to the shank holder. I can't find anything on the internet...

After owning a Troy Built Pony for ten years I decided I needed a newer bigger better tiller. Since I was satisfied with the Pony I thought the Horse was the answer. Yikes, was I mistaken, Troy Built sure has gone down hill. I paid $1875 and it has only been used one afternoon and the first...

I stopped by my Kubota dealer after work today and saw my L3700 for the first time. They had the 84" Befco RFM attached. Wow, this combination looks like a serious mowing machine. I told my wife I was going one size up. ( traded my B2920 with 60" mmm.) She is going to flip out. They...

I currently have a B2920 which I really like and does just about everything I need to do, but I could use just a little more tractor. If the B3200 would have been available at the time I bought my tractor I wouldn't have even blinked. The new B3300 seems perfect for me but the L3400 is...

Last year I started a small orchard ( 1500 ) trees. At this time I can mow the entire orchard with a standard finish mower. As the trees get larger I am going to want to reach under them and won't be able to get close to the tree because of the roll over bar. I was wondering if there is such a...

I have been looking at Utility Vehicles all summer. I found that each major brand had some things I really liked but didn't have the right combination of preferences I was looking for. The Cub Volunteer was the first one I looked at and after almost buying a Gator, Kubota, and Ranger I kept...

About two months after I bought my B2920 I find out Kubota rolled out the B3200. The B3200 would have been an easy decision over the B2920. Yea, I considered the B7800 but It just wasn't enough more of a tractor and although it had a stellar reputation, it seemed somehow outdated. Ever since my...
