Hi, Very nice investment. I wish you well with your purchase. I have owned B7100-D for just under 40 years now. It is a solid tractor which I added an ARPS 70 Backhoe to it within a month of purchase. The backhoe was brand new and the Kubota was 4 years old when i purchased it. The suggestion I will make is for you to replace the rear axle hubs with the newer style of hubs ASAP. My rear wheels were always loose and wobbly. I replaced my hubs with the new style hub around 1992 and have not had an issue since with loose hubs. Google new style hubs for Kubota B7100. Good luck with your new tool. Dan😊 PS: All States Ag Parts has them on Amazon for $119 each. I'm running RimGuard loaded, Titan Trac Loader 12- 16.5 NHS, oversize R4 tires, plus the weight of the backhoe with no issues.
It's hard to think of a more versatile machine than a tractor with a loader and a 3pt hitch. If you're anything like me, you'll keep finding new projects and new attachments to keep the tractor working! A little advice: when you put the new tires on, put liquid ballast in the rear tires. Ballast weight is a must for small tractors for stability when you have a full bucket.
@threecreeksbackcountry awesome! The backhoe will be super handy! I would still recommend some liquid ballast in the tires though - that way you still have ballast weight even if you don't have the backhoe hooked up, and it helps keep the center of gravity a little bit lower too. Take it from a guy whose entire property is one big side-hill - you want all the stability in a tractor you can get!
Work horses. I have the same B7100 DT. The world is getting pretty wacky so a garden is on the agenda for 2025. I moved on 10 acres a few years ago. Half woods where the house is at and half unkept hay field that'll partly become garden area. You won't regret the B7100. It's literally an overgrown overpowered 4X4 garden tractor. 16HP diesel has lots of power but the tractors weight at a bit over 1000lbs will lose traction before it loses power. Mine has done work my 21HP garden tractor just couldn't do.
The B7100 is probably the best Kubota mini tractor that anyone can buy. Built with the same level of robustness as the larger equipment but very compact. It has less power than newer models but I've never found my tractor to be any less capable in this weight class. I do plan to retrofit power steering someday when I finally blow my manual steering gear. 😂
If the hydraulic pump is mounted on the back of the fuel pump you need to keep a check on your motor oil. If it starts rising the hyd pump is likely going bad.
From what I recall the loader Hydraulic pump is shaft driven off the front of the motor Crank Pulley. The system is completely isolated from any other Kubota systems.
Tires are NOT cheap! I would continue to use those tires unless you travel miles down a paved road all the time. I'm sure they have tubes, and they should have tubes!! I love the rear balloon tires on the Cub cadets! IF it ain't broke, why fix it?
Nice machine you got, I have B6000 with "japan spec" very deep thread tyres and I'm probably going to replace them. It's like driving on square wheels on hardpack ground... I see your new video, mean looking machine with those new tyres!
I have the same Kubota I bought mine to help me clear our new house lot I have pulled out the roots from 27 trees and I have moved 23 other trees with only 1 problem when I tried to move a very big root with the bucket I broke the front differential I love my bulldog
Hi I'm having a Kubota B5000, planning to DIY a front end loader, can you please show me the details of your loader in another video,regao the way of hydraulic connections from pump, controller, the loader mount and etc.. thank you very much

We’re planning on putting a backhoe on here 🤠 so that should balance it out nicely. Specifically, a Kubota B670 or B629 😁

New small tractors only use hydraulic fluid even the rear and front ends.
Neat little tractor 🚜
be careful with tire size. you don't want to go too tall. Good luck its a very cool tractor.
It uses hydraulic oil
Technically it’s supposed to use 80-90 gear oil. Somebody switched it out to hydraulic oil
Great tool on are farm! 👍🏽😀❤️🇺🇸
Hi I'm having a Kubota B5000, planning to DIY a front end loader, can you please show me the details of your loader in another video,regao the way of hydraulic connections from pump, controller, the loader mount and etc.. thank you very much
Nice.
Y’all got money back???
