My 2006 Tacoma 4L hauls my 7k PJ car hauler with B2650 loaded, no problem. I'm like the OP, infrequent trailering, mostly local, nothing longer than 100km. Just keep my tranny in 4th. OD off. Cruise 60mph just fine on highway.

Anything on a pto I run at the operating rpm for the pto, in my case rear PTO is 540 (about 2380 engine) RPM, mid-mount PTO is 2500 RPM, matching the engine. For steady heavy work otherwise, like with the backhoe, I go with the tractor "operating RPM" on my B2650HSD is 2500. That's the RPM where...

I've been running without filled tires or wheel weights over the more than 6 years and 1200 hours I've had my B2650HSD since new. All I need is my 60" box scraper on the 3-point as ballast, for as much as the front end loader hydraulics can lift. And as filled tires are recommended against by...

In other words, measure your fully-loaded clearance beneath the trailer back frame and subtract an inch or so, and use that measure to build the compression blocks.

I would NOT use this hitch as a log puller illustrated in this screenshot of the sales photo. If the log ever caught on something while being pulled the tractor would upside down on your lap in a second or 2! Think about it. If the log is a few inches off the ground and hits a stump or any...

https://www.amazon.com/MaxxHaul-50039-Standard-Trailers-Equipment/dp/B07MWRW7PV $65 !!! 1/5 the price of your somewhat schmancier unit, and besides the 2x2 receiver being included in your unit, this one does just fine doing exactly what you'll need. I got one of these 4 years ago, has been put...

Boxblade, run at angle by adjusting the 3-point side link.

I'm a SE Manitoban on 119 acres, lots of forest, 1000ft of driveway. Take a look at my profile equipment list, I couldn't be happier! And with the forestry jobs I take on with cutting our own firewood and fence posts in the "back 80 acres" I can say the B2650 ROPS is a wonderful, capable...

2017 B2650HSD bought new. 1230 hours.

My B2650 operator's manual has a section that describes when to use the oval holes on the stabilizers to allow for play on certain listed implement types. The sway looseness needed depends on the implement, some need serious play. Listed are a few, like moldboard plow, disc plow, subsoiler...

True, yet would not 10x the # available be offset by 10x the population shopping for those used machines? We've had Kubotas up here for decades, too!

Good luck with finding a used (sub)compact K in good condition, without a finding new one competing on price. I looked for a couple years before giving up trying to find what I needed in used, as the new costs weren't much more.

Regardless, there's more CA & CCA there. I look at battery warranties carefully, too.

If the replacement battery is the correct type, voltage, size, and the terminals match position and type, then the more the merrier when it comes to cranking amps advertised, CA & CCA. It basically means there's more power available under any temperature range than the old one. New tech has made...

^^^^^^THIS IS THE FIRST THING I THOUGHT WHEN SEEING THIS THREAD.^^^^ Sorry to shout, but protect yourself! Also, as there's going to be solid pressure backed into the hydraulics just from the weight on the lift cylinder, I would suggest a jack under the blower to at least take most of its...
