Hi all,

I’ve been looking hard for a dedicated FEL machine and adding a diesel to my fleet. It’s been a long time since I owned Kubotas and my needs have changed. I have a small property and really only need to move loose materials. At one time I was considering a garden tractor with a FEL and trying to reduce my machines. I have several wheel horse and JDs. Various plows, carts, blowers, ariens snow blower, exmark wall behind with sulky etc.

I’m between a cub 3235 I looked at today with three hydro levers at 400 hrs with blower, rear plow, three point hitch, 4 way plow, cab, 60” deck, 44” deck, FEL and I tested it out performs expectations, two parts 3235 tractors, extra wheels, and probably more I’m forgetting. It’s a nice machine but it’s a pile of stuff to store and I already have five machines. Axles on these old cubs go for a lot as do other parts so I could part out the other two or keep and have this thing forever. Sell an extra deck etc and make some cash back if needed. Also can sell my Jds and wheel horse stuff too. This package is at $5,000 ish. It’s fair but more than I wanted to spend.

Or

Kubota B5100E 2wd gear no idea hours but she looks very clean and wasn’t rode hard for sure. Comes with FEL 3,500 everything works as it should. Could use a glow plug switch and a boot for shifter. Bushings are good and she feels solid all over. I’m not too familiar with wrenching on diesels but I’m passionate to learn. Asking $3,500

Curious everyone’s thoughts.

If you're passionate to learn about wrenching on diesels you may be disappointed. They don't seem to need much. If it starts easily and runs it may go for a very long time but with the number of years on it a clutch or engine rebuild may be in your future. With a tractor that old and unknown hours it's a crapshoot. TractorData.com Kubota B5100 tractor information

I passed on her.

Test driving it she just was really janky from the brakes to the gear drive and lack of power steering it made it tough for any meaningful FEL work.

If I want old to tinker I would get a red belly ford 8n
