Foward Reverse is backwards

I was wondering if anyone ever looked at those pictures. Guess so.

We're taking the tractor into the Kubota dealer here in Everett, WA Monday so I'll keep you all posted on the problem and the fix.

BTW. Anyone have a B7100 HST with a FEL? Can you get some work done or is it just a novelty?

Seems like the cheapest way out is to unbolt the seat and turn it around./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Easy now...watch your language!!!!!

In your control panel, Brandon, there is a section for display preferences, one of which allows you to display profile pictures right along with the messages. As you might guess, I have it set that way, so I see everybody's pictures whenever they post.

Mark -

You know I wouldn't pick on a new guy as readily as I would, say, a Star member, but this one just plain cracked me up. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif Oh -- and I did nothing more than refernece it. That's the original size, and no, I did not tamper with the wardrobe.

BTW, Brandon -- you got a story to go with the picture?

Yes you can get some work done but it is slow, may take many different approaches and requires you to adapt to conditions as they are. It is probably best as a lawn mower but can accomplish many other tasks. I would post some pictures of what mine has done but do not have a digital camera or scanner.

Have you check under the foot rest where your pedal rocks back and foreward,to see if it hasn't broke or worn..or slid off the arm.

We have a friend with a B7100 that seems to be able to do quite a bit of work with his FEL. He also has the front tires filled; he says he gets more "bite" with the FEL that way. However, Kubota says that is a no-no...

Thomas, I don't see anything broke under the pedal. The really strange thing is that if I let it sit for a few hours, it works as expected for 10 to 15 feet, then "tightens up." It is like I'm standing on the brake. I haven't got it to go backward when pushing on the forward pedal at this point.

Thanks

I imagine that John Walker's mom got a picture just like that after he arrived in Afghanistan..../w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

My grand-pappy always told me, "No matter how bad you loose at poker, never give up your beer or your gun!"

After loosing almost everything, I did step away from the game with a B7100 and a hyper link to TBN.
