Strengths Nice heavy well built tractor. Strong implements with quick connects. Lighting Package and Aux Hydralics. 10W30-10W40 for Hydralics. Good bucket and hoe strength/movement. Solid steel throughout. Well thought out placement of gauges and electricals. Solid little Diesel for this size machine. Heavier then most compacts.

Weaknesses Power separation between hydralics and drive train could use additional engineering. Hydralics hose connectors could be upgraded. Hydrostatic pedal takes a bit of getting used to....seems ackward at first.

Overall Excellent compact workhorse especially if one knows what it was designed for. 4X4 nice, but not required. Great quality overall.

Strengths Digging force of the backhoe is great, Also the digging of the loader is awesome, perfect for digging out areas for patios without damaging yard real bad

Weaknesses Well the 25 hp. Kubota has the machine stalling out when I go in to a large pile of stone or dirt with the loader. I have since determing the speed I need to go with out stalling out when going into piles. I think the 25hp. engine is not enough power for this machine, I guess thats why they now come with the 31hp turbos. Also my machine has 376hrs. on it and all components are leaking down. I did discover a small hole in on of the hydro lines and am hoping this will solve the problem once fixed

Overall I like the machine alot but the 2 wheel drive sucks. My advice would be not to purchase B100 with the 25hp. The 31hp.turbo seems like the perfect engine for this machine. BTW be prepared for some rear tire spinning if you are going to be using this on slopped grades.

Strengths Strong digger, easy to operate

Weaknesses 2WD, poor traction when wet

Overall Very pleased
