Rent a car trailer and drag the tractor up here to the NW. There are (apparently) people standing in line to pay $10,000 for it! Just saw a B7100 sell for that last weekend. There is one in the Equipment Trader up here that the guy is asking $13,000 for. It's nuts...

B7100 HST for sale

Thanks for the replys. Sounds like the gray smoke on startup is normal. The tractor has been sitting for over a year so the hard starting may have to do with the condition of the battery and state of tune. The owner has welded a couple of brackets onto the frame between the front and rear axles to mount a subframe backhoe. I was wondering if the Kubota frame is hardened steel and does it matter if he has welded onto it? I know that this is a problem with Semi trucks and their trailers. Mark mentioned that I should watch out that the tractor should not jerk (7100 HST) it seems a lot more jerky then my Bolens. I also wondered how big a problem not having power steering with a FEL is with this tractor? My MM is awful with a full bucket. I frequently pick the front wheels off the ground with the FEL and spin the wheel if I have to turn sharply in limited space. I move lots of dirt with the tractor and don't want to buy a Kubota and find out that my wife can't drive it too.
