Been looking at this model for awhile my main concern is the DPF. Has kubota worked out all the bugs yet?

I would go with a B2650 or B2601 but i want the extra HP for larger attachments and 72" mid mower.

I don't have any "fresh" information beyond what is posted about the B3350 here:

There was a recall last winter described in post #4 but haven't heard from B3350 users since then, which might be good news, since most people write in to ask about problems. You might see if you can find a Kubota tech or dealer that may be able to tell you what is new in the current B3350's.

You might want to consider an L series tractor for that size mower. There are quite a few users on the forum with L tractors of various sorts and which have a different engine setup than the B3350. We are largely doing fine with the dpf in them.

It would be great if some 3350 owners could chime in. :D

I went with the 2650 for simplicity. What a great tractor!! It's been a work horse for sure.

There does not seem to be many 3350 owners. Trouble with the L has no MMM and i don't think it will fit in my garage :)

What is the differance in the B2650 or B2601.

Thanks for the help

Does anyone know the differance in the B2650 or B2601? besides the obvious?

I really wanted the 3350 but with all the DPF crap am going more towards the 2650 my concern is the 19.5 pto with a 72" deck and is it anough to handle a 5ft bush hog.

I looked at the L series and decided no.

From what I can tell cause I am wanting a 3350 myself is the "50" means you can get a cab from the factory.
yeah wish they would get the B3350 fixed, i have read that it is only the cab model with issues.

I wanted the ROPS B3350.

I have a lot of concern that 19.5 hp pto might struggle with a 72" mmm and a 5 ft bush hog and 63" snow blower. I tend to let the grass grow a bit before mowing it and what i bush hog the grass is as tall as the tractor. I also want a tractor that works well when it's cold out side have read the 3350 has issues with cold. I'm outdoors more in the winter because it's my fav time of the year never liked the heat of summer! :)

The only difference between the B3350 and the B2650 is horsepower. I have a B2650 run a 5 foot brush hog, box blade and rototiller with no issues at all. I have about 20 acres of pretty rugged terrain and other than moving big trees (something I need a 60 horse large tractor) I've no issues at all. I got the 2650 to avoid the dpf issues everyone is having on the 30-40 hp tractors.

I would go with either the B2650, or a smaller L series. The 3350's aren't something I'd be willing to take a gamble with.....

Hello,

I have an M6040 (157 hrs) I use for bush hogging (96" WOODS) and a ZD331 for lawn maintenance and walking path cutting. My bush hogging work is becoming less and less due to good pastures and a neighbor who takes our hay off the fields. I'm thinking of consolidating both machines into a smaller Kubota which can do all my cutting which will mainly be lawns and paths and perhaps a little field cutting of shorter grass (<6"). I want a cab unit with AC because I'm in SC. My dealer suggested a B-3350 with 72" belly mower, but I've read on this forum the issues with DPF. Should I go with a B-2650 instead? I'd really like the F-3990 front mower but I can't get a sealed AC cab on that unit. John Deere has a new Terrain Cut 1575 front mower with sealed cab, but the cost is 38k, about 10k more than the B-3350. Maneuverability is also an issue. Any input from the experts would be much appreciated. Thanks! Orangejuice.
