Just saw this come up locally. I’ve been looking for a small kubota to help with my property.
I have about 5 acres and about a 1,000 foot gravel drive as well as a small saw mill.
ideally I’d have something with a belly mower, a fel, and a scrape blade. I really also want 4wd and HST.
I’ve been eyeing the older B7100 models for a while (mostly just love thelook and the fact they’d be small enough to fit in my small shed) but I haven’t been able to find a single one on my area that has fel. Called Koyker about getting an aftermarket fel. They were awesome to deal with but their quote came back at over $6k.
today this popped up. (See below)
It doesn’t have the belly mower or scrape blade, but those are easier to find around here.
Seller mentions issues with tires and a leak under the seat. I contacted him about that and he tells me that the leak is from a metal line but wasn’t sure what it was.
I’ve asked him to send me a pic to help verify but wanted to post here and see if:
1) y’all think this is a good deal?
2) you see anything in the ad ad limited info I so far have that raises BIG red flags?
3) recommendations as to what to inspect when I go and see the tractor in person.
this would be my first tractor and first diesel. I’m mechanically inclined (can rebuild gravely walk behinds, atvs, motorbikes) but am a hobbiest, no expert, and I know my limits.
Edit: just got pic of leaking line. Last pic here.
seller tells me he got tractor when he bought his house and has used it for about a year.
