Excellent referral Stephan, however every adapted you could want except 6 to 18. (18 splines must be incredibly rare). I think it is to the tractor wreckers and a special manufacture using an old PTO 18 spline drive fixed into an extension yoke. I cannot think of any other solution.

You may have to replace the rotary hoe pto fitting to a standard 6 female since the adapter you want doesn't exist.
Thank you for the suggestion but the B6000 is about 35 years old, so I am told - and professional advice is that parts will not readily be available to enable this to be successfully or cost effectively done. Apparently it would be cheaper just to replace all my 3 implements.
Personally I think this is shame on Kubota that they allowed a change in tractor design to occur without making provision for solving this particular problem, which is the natural consequence of this change.

I'm not saying to change the PTO shaft on the tractor, Change the PTO coupler on the implement to one that fits your tractor. Replace the 18 spline end on the implement PTO shaft with one of these on each implement.

Yeah, as George said, change the tractor end yoke on your implement's PTO shaft. It'll require a bit of work on your part but doable. If for some stupid reason you can't find a yoke with the correct U-joint size, get what they call a "cross-over" U-joint. It will be different sized on each cross but it will work fine. We use them all the time on Jeep buggies.
Your 18 spline stuff is a first for me.

Thank for the the assist but the problem is that the Rotary Hoe (RH) bolts directly onto the transom of the tractor
and the PTO shaft is direct drive into the gearbox of the RH. Therefore the Female spline in the RH is an integral part of the gear box of the RH. I have not opened the gearbox

I think you might be SOL on that set up. Do you have the lower links for the 3 point?
