Do I have a B7100 D, DT, DP or ???

You folks have been VERY helpful.

Since I'm new to Kubota, perhaps someone could explain the model number suffixes. I have a 1978/79 B7100 4WD with gear shift, B219 FEL and a Gannon Box Scraper. What is the correct, complete model designation? I assume the later models with "HST" are for the "Hydro-Static Transmission".

Looks like B7100 DT.

Thanks, Bruceatlam! From now on, I will refer to it as an B7100 DT

I believe that the DT stands for "Dual Traction", as in traction from both axles.

Kubota used HSD and HSE for 4WD and 2WD tractors with hydrostatic transmissions. They also use HST for HydroStatic Transmission. I think in that case, they may have called them HST-D and HST-E.
