Ditto to what KenB said. I got one for my 1978 B6100 from my Kubota dealer. Installed it myself. Pretty easy actually. It comes with typical Kubota instructions.

Mike:

When I activate the 3ph lift on my B6100(no position control) and it is already in the full up position, I get a loud screech too. I'm pretty sure that's the pressure relief valve activating.

I get a similar screech whenever I operate my FEL (separate hydraulic system) in cold weather. That's the pump cavitating because the oil is too thick to flow fast enough to keep the pump full.

Is your screech coming from the 3ph valve area or the hydraulic pump area?

I've used the FEL method for peeling up sod with my Kubota B6100. I've also used the box blade.

It is much easier to peel up a consistently thin layer of sod with the box blade. Using the FEL requires much "modulating" of the dump/roll to keep it from digging in. I found that I also needed to cut a "starting slot" in the sod with a shovel or I couldn't get my FEL to dig in. Perhaps a tooth bar would help there. I don't know 'cause I don't have one.

On the other hand, if you're going to be moving the sod off somewhere else, if you use the FEL, the sod is already there in your bucket waiting to be transported after you peel it up. With the box blade, you need to peel it up, drop it out of the box, then come around and scoop it up with the FEL. Yes, you can drag the sod with the box but you (I, anyway) would need to stop the tractor, adjust the top link, re-set the 3ph height (I have no position control or hydraulic T&T) and hope the sod stays in there for the trip to wherever I want to put it.

That said, I now generally use the box to peel up the sod then come back around and pick it up with the FEL.

Thanks for the info, Bird. We're near Charles Town up in the eastern panhandle.
Yeah, I think the tractor is going to be real handy on my 3.5 acres.
