I have a Kubota B6000 Tractor and the PTO spins counter clockwise. I was wondering if anyone knows if they make augers that go counter clockwise. And the auger goes clockwise but the pto goes counter clockwise so the auger does not dig. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!

PTO reverser?
Did you look at the PHD site to see if they make 2 dif ones?
I wish you lived closer to me, I'd be interested in it

It looks like the PHD is correct?

What would the purpose of a pto turning ccw ? All the implements in the world turn clkw. Was this tractor destined to be used in some foreign land where their attachments operate in a different manner ? I never heard of this. Maybe there is an adjustment or extra gear that would reverse the direction.

I have a friend with the same problem and we have rearranged several implements to fit his reverse notion. The idea of the pto reverser is good, just finding enough cash to get one is the problem. They are also hard to find, so we just figure out a way to work around it. He wanted me to make one, but so far I have eluded that job.
If you just have to have a PHD, consider a hydraulic one as that would be a better way to go anyway. You could mount a hydraulic motor on the one you already have, or if you are good at fab work, remake the shaft with a reverse twist shaft from some sort of auger. Making the reverse twist tip would be the hardest part.

Its probably a grey market tractor

I agree with Ken, probably a grey market tractor, originally destined for somewhere in the southern hemisphere.... you know, where water spins in the opposite direction going down a drain. Wouldn't you want your auger to turn the same way? ;)

I am pretty sure we can all agree that it is a grey market tractor. It has several differences, which include a reverse turning pto, (3 speed output also which is cool!). The normal six spline pto shaft is a 16 (or was it 18?) spline but adapters are available and only about $40 or so, so that isn't a problem.
Last time I saw a pto reverser for one of the B6000 it was for sale at somewhere just over $750 which is hard to stomach on a tractor that is worth just a couple thousand to start with. An owner of a B6000 can do a lot with them if he is handy with a wrench and a welder. A lot of them came with a tiller that mounted to the rear of the differential housing.

My Satoh Beaver is not Grey Market. The PTO spins CCW. I do not know if the B6000 was Grey or not but these first SCUT tractors had many Implements for the CCW PTO. I have a finish mower, my neighbor has a tiller and I have heard of snow blowers made for this CCW PTO. I do not think any Implements are made today for CCW PTO with exception of maybe the PHD shown in the earlier post.

How does that Kubota handle that auger? I have wanted to try an auger on my Satoh but wondered if it had enough power.

it will do it no problem. I ma looking into making a reverser myself.

If you make a reverser, make a couple at the same time, as somebody is always looking to buy one, and it will pay for your time and materials when you sell the second one.

I should hope so, I just picked this one up last week, it is a Corsicana which have not been in business for I don't know how long.

I put it on my 15hp Mitsubishi and went out and dug two holes, It needs a new paint job.

Glad to see it works. I figured it would but feel better making a purchase when I know it will work.
Thanks for the pictures.
