B7100 HST

[teach]

I just purchased a 1990 B7100 HST, 16 HP, with a Kubota loader, turf tires, rears filled, and ROPS from a local dealer. The tractor has 800 hours. The tractor is in nice shape and appears to have been well cared for. Used machines this size with a loader are hard to come by in my area (Rhode Island). I paid $5700, how did I do (not that it really matters now that it is sitting in the yard, just curious)? This is an upgrade from my 1983 B7100 STD trans., with 2000 hours and no loader (which by the way has a front mount snowblower, rear chains, rear scraper blade, and rear dirt scoop, and is now for sale if anyone is interested). I love the older machine and it always impresses me how strong it is. I hope the newer machine with the HST is just as strong.

Morning teach.
I say you done very well.
Yup its getting harder and harder to find those little mules for sale.
Little advice,when useing the frontend loader...bucket loaded...make sure you have good grip on the steering wheel when moving,for if that front tire catchs or drop in rut etc... it could be painful on the fingers.

I have "95" B7100HST w/loader and couple of attachments.

I agree, looks like you have a very nice deal.
I hope you enjoy your tractor.

As per Thomas. On mine I keep the thumb tucked over the top of the wheel so it can't get caught.

My very first Kubota was a 1996 B7100HST 4WD and I have very fond memories of it.

I have since owned a BX22, a BX23 and now operate a BX24. These later models have very ingenious design features, however none of them are as strongly built as my first B7100.
