I am looking at buying a Kubota B6100 4x4, 3 cylinder diesel. It has a pto driven finish mower and a front mounter snowblower. The salesman guesses it is from the 1970's. It has about 1500 hours, doesn't look beat up but it has been used. It starts easily and seemed to run well. Anybody know about these units? Reliability? How well does the snowblower work? Should I offer more than 1900 dollars?

I own a B6100 Kubota.My attachment for it are a 4' finish mower,12x16 disc, a 38" brush mower, a box blade, a PTO driven spreader,a Kubota tiller,and a boom pole. The first thing you need to do is put trencher tires on the back!! They have good traction and don't dig up the grass as bad as tractor tires do.Mine are 29.5 x 12-15.It makes a big difference. The disc is probably a little too big,but it can pull it. Everything else works great. The brush mower is small,but I build deer feed plots on my hunting lease. Anything bigger would not fit between the trees. It is hard to find attachments small enough for this little tractor, but they are out there and most of the time cheap. I tried a 4' brush cutter. It was to heavy and made it like sitting in the middle of a teeder-todder. I hope you like it and if you have ? just ask me.I'll try to help.

I have a B-6200 4wd w/loader, and the thing is a brute! I have a horse farm, and that thing has worked everyday for the past 8 years, doing things like pulling small stumps, pulling up to 18" logs, a full 40 bushel ground drive manure spreader. You can just about field strip it with a 14mm wrench and a screwdriver. If you can get one for $1,900, you are getting the deal of the century.

If it were 2wd, you'd hate it, but the 4wd is a super machine. Puts the compact Fords to shame.

Tim,

If it is a B6100, it IS NOT grey market. If you can get it for $1900, rip his arm off. I agree about being wary of the salesman. Any tractor salesman that isn't intelligent enough to KNOW about his merchandise is either not a very good businessman, or a crook.

Go for the tractor if it is $1900. You can part it out for more that that.

My opinion,
Tommy D.

BTW, I have a '79 L225 and LOVE it!.

I had oil light problem. Mac sugested oil gage. I put one on. Before the oil light would come on after 7 minutes runtime. With gauge it starts at 55 psi and ran for 40 minutes with 35 psi at that time. These at 3/4 throttle. At slow low idle approx 8 to 10 psi. The road was wet though and I noticed oil/fuel spots about every 2 ft. I found it coming from the breather pipe, about 1 drop a second. Is this dripping normal and what are your thoughts on the oil pressure???? Thanks C.

I think some of the B6100 tractors were gray market tractors. Which means pto runs backwards from the rest and is usually smaller. But still good tractors. just hard to find implements. I think they were built in the late 60's or early 70's. Just my 2 cents worth.

Tim, I'd be real turned off by a salesman that 'guesses' it's a 1970-something model. Get the serial number of the machine, and look up the year. I think Kubota stamps the number on the left side of the frame by the clutch.

My book lists models T & HSD in 4wd, which means the tranny, is it a clutch or a hydrostatic?

The T was built from '76-85. and average auction prices for the bare tractor range $4100 - 5000.

The HSD was built 1980 - 86, and brings $4100 - 6700.

Since the dealer sounds uninformed, this model has 14 engine horsepower. It looks like original list price of these models is pretty close to the best dollar paid for them used, which means they are real popular with the suburban set. Not really much horsepower.

Tim, I have a B6100 Kubota 3 cylinder Diesel 4x4. It was built in 1980. I bought it used in 86 and have been using it all the time for the last 13 years. It has a frontend loader and a 36' tiller on the rear driven from the pto. It's done a fine job for me and never had any trouble with it. Good luck if you decide to go with it.
