I just acquired at B6100......

[jordanh]

4WD with factory hydraulic front blade and a finish mower on the back. One owner before (whom I know) who used it to mow and push snow/gravel.

I'm afraid at 14hp it may be undersized for my needs/desires. Primarily I will use it to mow about 1.5 acres of pasture, grade 150 feet of gravel drive, regrade my yard to fix some water issues around the foundation, remove snow and prepare and maintain about 6 acres of food plots.

I don't think I'll have a problem except on the food plots. We have access to an 8 ft disc/cultivator. I fear this is much too large for my little tractor to manage.

I don't have any manuals and finding specs on this model is slim pickin's online.

Anyone know the lift capacity of the 3pt on the rear? What about the factory front blade hydraulics on the front? Can those same hydraulics be used on an FEL if I wanted to switch out the front blade later or do I need to have a complete new setup? Current system has two controls....lift and blade angle. Should handle lifting arms and dumping a bucket......

Any input, spec info, tips, etc. would be appreciated. I'm having the dealer install factory ROPS as cheap insurance.

:^D

Congrats on the tractor! I almost bought a B6100E a while back. They are tough little tractors even at only 14 hp. One site that might provide you with a little info is Tractor Tips.

Hey, its a great little tractor. I owned one for 20 years then traded in on my present tractor. Mine was 2wd but fine for mowing and small tasks. Your disc will be too large for it most fo the time.

I still have the manuals in storage and will look up the specs when I have time but it won't be right away.

I have a B6100D also. Good little tractor. It's capable of everything you have mentioned except for the foodplots. I doubt it would pull an 8' disc.

The manual lists the 3ph capacity at 300lbs. I currently have a 6' back blade on mine and it weights right at 300lbs. Picks it up just fine but it make the front a little light. It also tends to show the tractor who's boss when pushing snow or dirt.

As far as the hydraulics, I think they used a front pto pump for a fel. The tractor hydraulics are rated at 3gpm and may be too slow for a fel. I don't recall the rated pressure.

Anything I've needed for mine I've been able to get at the local dealer. I've also used www.tractorsmart.com for parts. Easy to deal with and fair prices. They also have manuals available.
