Front-End Loader B7100 Kubota Loader & power steering conversion questions

[Rooster 01]

What's the best loader to put on a 1997 3 cylinder diesel B7100 Kubota...is there one that comes with it's own hydraulic pump? Folks tell me to go with the Kubota loaders..which one is the best?...keeping in mind no power steering...Anyone have experience using a Koyker Model 120...are they good loaders? Is it possible to convert from armstrong steering to power steering & how big of a job is it..kits available?

The original kits were expensive and unavailable from Kubota. Lucky you, as the money spent seemed to be to much for the benefit.

Loader wise I think you are putting some good money into a bad project. You might find it better to update the unit to a TL with power steering or power assist.

I've "after market" front loader on B7100 over the years..can't recall name brand but they we painted black..also believe at one time Woods offer front loader.

Power steering kit,there was thread on this topic..B7100.. which also could be purchase..try search.

Don't take me wrong,but that's some hard earn cash for updating..good down payment towards newer machine in what your seeking tho.

www.tractorpowersteering.com is a good place to go for power steering. I believe they are also a sponsor.

I put a Koyker 120 on a Yanmar I once had. The loader was tougher than nails. Bullet-proof. I had a small problem, where they sent me the wrong hoses. Customer service was top notch and I had the replacement hoses in my hand before I even needed them.

There isn't a single thing bad that I have to say about that loader.
