The New Tractor

We have a new tractor, aptly called the "big" tractor, in comparison to the "little" tractor. It's a 1986 Kubota B7100HST. It has four wheel drive, a 3 cylinder diesel engine and a hydrostatic transmission. It came with a front loader (the big bucket at the front), a back-hoe, and a cab.

Soon after it arrived, I removed the back-hoe and have been working to repair a couple of the hydraulic cylinders. It's messy business. Here you can see the work in progress:

I'm sure the big tractor will be featured in more posts to come.
