I finally got sick and tired of having chains on the floor boards while alternately moving dirt and boulders. So, to make up for the spendy approach on the cup holder, I cheaped out on the approach for the tool and chain box. I'd bought two ammo boxes for this purpose and tried to mount the...

I gave up a long time ago trying to find a clever way to add a cup holder to my Kubota. This is a pix of the approach I've used for a while now.

Here is a 60 hour report on my Kubota B7610 TLB. Started out as a 50 hour report several months ago, but time seemed to get away. I bought this tractor for some extensive landscape and construction work at our home in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is equipped with...

I stumbled across this site Hydraulics Super market when looking for information about hydraulics. Seems to have some answers to questions I've had about hydraulic fluid. Australian site but technical information is good anywhere. It may not be a viable source for parts for most of us but...

Anybody else changed the hydraulic fluid in their Kubota B7610? The manual says the capacity is a bit over 4 gallons. On draining mine I only got out about 2.5 gallons. I know you don't get it all on an oil change, but just about a third of the fluid, a gallon and a half, still in there...

I've made a few comments over the past year that I bought a B7610 instead of a B7800 because it would fit alongside my shop. Well, here are a few photos to show the available space. When I bought the Kubota the shop wasn't yet started. But the dirt pad was finished. I had the plans made up...

The B7610 has a chain stabalizer for the 3-point hitch. I guess a backhoe is hard on the chains and I broke one of mine at some point this summer. The dealer replaced it under warranty. The chains were always difficult to adjust and I always managed to bash a knuckle or two when adjusting...

I have always been fascinated by machinery. The bigger the better. I've seen several comments by other posters about watching heavy equipment at work. I'll bet you also don't mind being stopped at a railroad crossing either, as long as you aren't too far back in the line. Oh, and airplanes...

Ok, reading all these posts about chipers got me fired up again. Two nearby dealers carry BearCat 73454 chippers. The Kubota dealer has stock and is asking ~$3400 for the chipper. The closer John Deere dealer has no stock but will order one and sell it for ~$3300, since he has to order it, I...

Well Florida gets their hurricanes, the midwest tornados and winter, the east gets winter and summer and in California we get earthquakes and forest fires. Since it doesn't rain from May to November the long dry season creates lots of dry forests. There are three fires going at the moment...

I'm at 2,000' in the California Sierra mtns above Sacramento. This location is just below the snow line. We get several dustings a year of snow but it rarely lasts on the ground more than a day. The home and shop is in a small North/South valley, so, we don't get the benefit of a full day's...

Need a spare JD/Yanmar engine? In my search for a diesel engine for a generator set-up, I ran across some Yanmar engines. In trying to find out more about the engine types, I discovered these engines might be for John Deere tractors. Anyway, for what it's worth, here is the information...

I have a Kubota B7610. This tractor has only one hydraulic outlet adaptor/fitting and it is roughly under the driver's seat on the right side. Without accessories the tractor hydraulic supply fitting has a bypass block bolted to the fitting. When an accessory is added the bypass plate is...

Muhammad et al.: In various forums here I repeatedly see comments about how the poster can't do this or that. Most frequently is the comment about "I can't post the picture because it is too big." On another board [motorcycle oriented] I frequent there is an "Other Forum" category soley for...

A bridge project or two will likely work its way to the top of the list in the next several months. Anybody have pointers to web pages or books in print on how to engineer one? I have a small seasonal stream to cross in possibly two places. Both for foot and tractor traffic (tractor around...

I recognize that this network resource is not a public service and is privately owned and the owner and his representatives can do what ever they darn well feel like doing here. However, I had a post deleted that contained no profanity (not even any **** pretending to be either), no personal...

Attached is a pix of my 30'x50' shop with the walls up and ready to set out the roof trusses. The walls are 10' high and with the scisors trusses it will have a a greater that 12' clearance in the center 1/3 of the building. This will allow a car lift to extend fully and have nearly 6'...

Anybody have a tight throttle on their Kubota and find out how to get it to operate smoother? My B7610 now has 35 hours. I'm moving a lot of dirt from some excavation to the back of the property. I try to set the engine speed around 2,100 to 2,200 rpm to take it easy on me and the tractor...

Here is a 25+ hour report on my B7610 Tractor Loader & Backhoe. I bought this tractor for some extensive landscape and construction work at our home here in Placerville, California. It came equipped with a LA352 loader, B4672 Backhoe (12” bucket), a Gearmore box scraper and R4 tires. The...
