I looked on line for suitcase weights :censored: and found them for $58/ea. out the door at my local. I adapted a "L" frame to my "B" chassis for a little extra help on the front end of my B6200. Works like a champ and I pull a 6' back blade, 6' york rake, 42" tiller, 60" finish mower, 48" brush hog, 30" dirt scoop, etc, etc.

This is what I did with my Kubota B6000. $65.00 ea. from Home Depot and they pay the shipping. They came green and I painted them Kubota orange.IMG_0475.jpg

Thanks, I love it. Wouldn't trade it for the world. I love the old school tractors.

I especially like the tire setup. Usually you see them with pizza cutter tires. Thanks for posting the pic.

That's a really god looking B-6000! Way nicer than mine.

That is exactly what I thought seeing the picture. Except for the "way nicer than mine" part, since I do not have one...

What a great looking Kubota!

In the background, viewing left to right, I see a spot welder, fume extractor(?) and what is the third machine?
