Hello board,

I'm about to purchase a rear tiller for my B6200. I looked at all brands, but the HOward seems to be the best for the money. It has a mid range price with top line features. Should I consider a shear pin drive line or slip clutch? Hopefully someone can get back to me asap as the dealer only has one left and it's peak season.

Hi fossil,

I used a Bolens hydro garden tractor to mow 3 acres for about 4 seasons, and I just purchased my first gear drive Kubota. Having had both, I favor the hydro ever so slightly over the gear when mowing, easpecially when it comes to obstacles such as trees and bushes.However,if your land is relatively open as mine is, I'd go for the extra horsepower and consider the 7200.

My two cents.

Welcome Joe,

I,m also new to the orange family and find this website really nice. I,m very curious about something. Do you live in NE Ohio? If so, I think I know who sold you the tractor. I bought mine from the same person.

Brian,

What size tires/rims do you need? How many bolt holes? Is the tractor 4WD? We probably need answers to these questions so we can help.

I have a 1990 B6200 4wd with ag tires and would like to purchase a rear tiller. I think 42" is probably the best size, and I prefer slip clutch instaed of shear pin. Can anyone recommend a good aftermarket tiller? I heard Woods and Land Pride make nice units, but I have no experience. If anyone has a good used one for sale, I'd be willing to listen.

In North East Ohio one can purchase a late 80's early 90's B7200/6200 in very good condition with mmm for around $5000. These are 4wd tractors with around 800 hours, excellent sheet metal and good drive train and tires. They would also include front/rear PTO and 3ph. I passed on a B7200 with 850 hrs.,4wd,3ph,mmm,front/rear pto and rops for $5000. I later bought a B6200 4wd,mmm,3ph,rear blade,front/rear pto,rops,excellent sheet metal,new Interstate battery, 860hrs for $4800 delivered. Maybe this will give you an idea of current market value.

Yes, this is as clear as mud. You take the circumfrence ratio of FRONT/BACK factory tires and you get a number, which multiplied by 100 gives a percentage.Any tires you put on in the future should be withing five perentage points of that number.

Right?

Hey guys,

Need some advice. Just bought a B6200 4WD. It came with front & rear agricultural tires. I want a set of turf tires for this tractor and I found a cherry set from a B7200. Accordidng to my manual, B6200 turf tires should be rear 29X12-15 and fronts 20.5X8.00-10.The tires for sale are rear 31x13.5-15 and fronts 20.5x8-10.These tires are listed in the manual for the B7200, but they are not listed for the B6200, although I see no reason they will not work. Please advise.

Thanks,

John Fundy

Applause to Murf from a new member of the orange family. Congratulations on your new purchase. I always said, all a guy really needs is a good dog, a good tractor and every now and then just a "little".

Enjoy!

Those belly mowers can be tough to find. Try ebay. Also, contact your local orange dealer and put the word out. I think "Woods" made a nice aftermarket belly mower for that tractor, but I'm not sure if they still do. You can check their website and send them an inquiry email.

Yup!

Morgan hit the nail on the head, as he usually does. I own a B6200 and according to my owners manual, which is the same manual for B5200, your weight is between 1058 lbs. and 1223lbs. depending tires and 4wd or 2wd.

Hello board.

I'm really enjoying this site. It's a wealth of knowledge and a lot of fun. Anyway, I think the story is getting old by now. Just purchased my first kubota, B6200 4WD with manual trans. Serial number is B6200D61222. Can anyone trace this number and get me the year? I've scoured the internet for hours with no luck.

I just purchased a 1988 B6200, 4WD with standard transmission. It's fitted with ag tires and I'd rather have turf. Is there any way I can do this without buying new rims from orange? Rear size is 8.3X16, fronts are 6X12.Anyone out there in the mid-west willing to trade turf rims/tires for my very good ags? Or, anyone out there willing to sell a set of rims so I can buy the turfs?

Just purchased my first Kubota. It's a B6200, 4WD with standard trans. One drawback is it has ag. tires and I prefer turf. Is there anyone out there near the ohio area willing to make a trade. Also, could anyone suggest a source for turf tires/wheels other than those expensive orange dealers.

Seems like a heated topic! The good news is, for the most part we're all talking Kubota, which means we're talking top-of-the line equipment. Choosing "B" vs. "BX" really comes down to specific needs and money. Either way, you can"t lose. As a recent addition to the Kubota family, however, I had a certain amount of money to spend on a tractor. I looked at BX and B. I purchased a used B for less than a new BX in the same hp range. My thinking was the extra tractor I received plus the savings out-weighed the advantages of the BX.

Kubota Curious re BX 22

Replies 46 Post by johnfundy

I'm not real familiar with the JD, but I just went through the whole BX Kubota issue. I was looking for a compact and seriously looked at the Kubota BX, and it is certainly a fine tractor. Further research, however, showed me that I could by a used B series tractor in excellent condition for less money than a new comparable BX. The BX series kubota is a "sub-compact". The B series, however, is a true compact capable of much more than a comparable BX. The B series has a larger frame, is more rugged, weighs more and is generally overall more robust. A B series with a loader/tiller will run rings around a BX with the same, assuming of cousre the HP is about the same. I ended up with a 1990 B6200 for about 1/2 the cost of a new comparable BX. Don't sell yourself short by buying too little tractor. As far as resale, NOTHING holds value better than a KUBOTA. Besides, the JD is probably made in Japan anyway.

Brian,

You said you have a B6200 that needs ag tires. The rims for ag and turf tires are different, at least thats what my dealer told me. These rims are expensive. I live in Ohio, maybe we can trade your turf tires/rims for my ag. tires/rims.

Hello Tractor Board.

Just purchased my first kubota. It's a B6200 , 4WD, with attachments. The tractor is very clean and well kept. One thing I notice is I get a very slight "gear chatter" when I shift into reverse. All forward speed are chatter free. This might be normal but I'd like some opinions.

I have been searching for a compact tractor for quite some type. I narrowed my search to Kubotas, and now I'm looking seriously at a B6200. The tractor has 830 hours, 4WD, 60" mower deck and rear blade. Agriculture tires in good shape-general overall condition very, very good. Asking price is $4900, I think I can get it for $4500. Some of you have told me thats a good price. What years were the '6200's? It's rated 15HP net-is this enough? Should I hold out for a 7200? How about parts?

Thanks

I have a chance to purchase a B6200 for under $5000. Th etractor is clean, runs well, has less than 800 hours and includes 60"deck and rear blade. Is this fair? does the B6200 have a good reputation?
