new b7100hst owner

[bruski]

Just found this forum and thought I'd upload a picture of my "new" b7100hst. Keeping the old woman off of it is a problem. This is my first tractor and I'm loving using/maintaining it. Got it in May to bush hog pasture, drag/harrow a riding arena and pull a manure spreader. Been putting about 10 hours a month on it. Only had 563 hours on it when I bought it and all the filters, etc. were meticulously labeled with date/hours of last service so I'm thinking was well cared for. As you can see it's in great shape. I didn't know that Kubota reintroduced the b7100 in the nineties when I bought it so I thought it was in remarkable condition. Know now from this forum that it is a 90s version. So much the better.

One thing I don't know is when the hydrostatic fluid was changed (if ever) even though I found 440 hours on the filter which I changed. The manual I have is vague about hydro fluid change. It's full and clear. how often should it be changed?

Can I get a tiller for this little baby?

I have a 44 inch Buhler tiller for my B7100.

Where did you buy yours?

 

[bruski]

I got the tractor along with a new bush hog 48sq rotary cutter and a 5 ft rear blade at Mordt Tractor in Troy, Missouri - total cost $5.5K. Not the best of deals but ok, I'm happy because I know after putting 60 hours on it that the tractor is sound. Could've gotten an older 6100 for about $3.5K through a private sale but for me the additional $700-$1,000 for a nice shape, low hour, newer tractor was worth it.

Congratulations, bruski. I'm sure you'll enjoy that little tractor. I used to have a 1995 model with a front end loader.

The manual I have is vague about hydro fluid change. It's full and clear. how often should it be changed?

According to Kubota.com it should have been changed at 50 hours, then 300 hours and every 300 hours after that.

Can I get a tiller for this little baby?

Yes, almost any brand, but you'll probably want to stay with a pretty small one. Personally, I had a Bush Hog RTS40 and considered it just about perfect for my B7100. I did have to shorten the driveshaft, and the Bush Hog manual has the instructions.

Bird, thanks for the service interval link.

1*Can I get a tiller for this little baby?

1*I would think so.
You might/should check out a used one.
I'm having a dealer check into a used tiller for a BX1500 for me.
