    B7100 worth it for 3K?

    The tractor from my last post. Overall it seems in really nice condition, with little rust and mostly complete. The machine I was comparing it to is a John Deere z355e with around 100 hours. "Up for sale is my B7100 hst 4x4. Runs well but has a small amount of blow bye. Recently had a service...

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    In my personal experience definitely, our old Massey was I think 24hp, and it thrased out 24hp kohlier lawnmower any day. But I'm also leaning towards the Kubota, especially when accounting for both having higher hours

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    Most likely yes, definitely for tilling ect and general yard maintenance There's also a b6001 with a TLB setup for around 8K, which I'm considering saving up for and purchasing at a later date too. Since 12.5K will still be cheaper than a used commercial zero turn which is a massive benefit for...

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    Yeah, personally I'd love to afford a larger commercial zero turn, but at that point it's a question of worth lol. As for the 60" definitely. Our hire was I think 57" and it struggled with 22hp, ie I had to be real slow when mowing over somewhat thicker patches. Now imagine that in the wet...

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    Haha I wish that was an option, general thing here is that you have to do it minimum twice a week in the wet season, before it becomes too hard to mow. I can do once a week but it's generally alot more annoying. If it's dry normally you can stretch to 2 weeks, bur with the rain it's atleast...

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    I wish I had more budget lol, but after spending 7.5k (aud) on a new mower just this year (yeahhh cub cadet reliability lol), I really can't afford more, especially with this Christmas approaching. As for us, well our only 60 inch decks here are around 8-9K (aud) with most of the nicer ones...

    B7100 with deck or 7+ year old zero turn?

    Hi all, so with our lawnmower deciding to give up the ghost and no longer run I'm in the market for a newish machine. The issue is, in summer (which is now) our property gets extremely wet, to the point our old lawnmower was sliding sideways and stuck constantly (even with difflock). Due to this...

    Scam or decent deal? Kubota l2202

    I've worked on a fair few cars in my life, including rebuilding a close friends. However my experience with tractors is very limited, hence asking since I presume parts are somewhat harder to both find and fit

    Scam or decent deal? Kubota l2202

    A According to the owner "I have no idea what's wrong with it as I have been unable to get a mechanic to come out and have a look." Which is understandable, since near Christmas mechanics here get really busy, but since it's a somewhat good value tractor it just makes no sense to sell...

    Scam or decent deal? Kubota l2202

    Sadly I was closing on a bx23s, but had to backout thanks to our work truck looking like it'll need a rebuild somewhat soon, so I had to look alot cheaper due to still needing to move soil ect

    Scam or decent deal? Kubota l2202

    Said tractor Transmission issue, owner says seized and won't freewheel. Aswell as throttle linkage being seized Has new tires, and mechanic quoted 500 (340usd) to fix. Thinking this is good deal as our local dealer refurbishes this series, so parts and attachments are very close. Should just...
