I'd like to add a rotary cutter to my Kubota B5100D4WD, see pic. My manual says max capacity is 44" 250#. Everything I find is larger and heavier. I won't need to use it a lot - so light duty is OK. Any thoughts? I would consider a 3pt finish mower but would like to keep the cost below $500. Thanks for the advice!

My manual for my b7500hst has simular specs. What's the pto horse power? Mine is 16 and my dealer says a 48" rotary cutter will work just fine. I've checked out a few - KK, Howse, and bushhog, any would work. The KK and Howse go for around $550 and the bushhog was $800. They will all cut up to 1". I will wait to see if anyone will have a sale this fall for mine. A 3pt finish mower is quite expensive.

I would give First Choice a call and see if they have anything that will fit your tractor. They are great people and make very excellent and competetivly priced implements.

Can't help you on the mower, but what a beautiful old Kubota!

Bruce,
I also have a B5100 4WD I tried pretty hard here in N.E. Oklahoma to get a rotary cutter small enough to fit it. But no one here was able or willing to get me one as small as I needed I found this one at http://www.sweettractors.com/compact.html#bigbee (Big Bee 38”) I was worried about buying it from a dealer I did not know plus I had never heard of the manufacturer. Plus I really worried about shipping cost. I sent an email to Sweet Tractor and they where able to answer some of my questions and give me a price for shipping. They also gave me a break on the price if I would take a display model that was faded from setting out side in the sun.
It only took 5 days for it to be shipped to me. I have had it for about 4 months now and I am still happy with it and would buy it again. It chews up any saplings I can run over with my B5100. I tell people it is a rock, stick and terrapin throwing machine.
I will also try and answer any questions you might have.
