3 point Height Adjustment issue

[BRbaseball34]

I've got a Kubot B2410 and I'm have a couple small issues and am hoping you all have some advice for me. 1st point, I'm pulling a 5' landpride box blade and I'm using the Speedco 3pt quick attach. When I have my height control at the highest setting it's only 6 to 8" above the ground so when I drive through a small dip it will drag. This segway's into my second issue, my 3pt height control lever is numbered 1 - 8 and on any implement I'm running (BB, Brushhog, Disc) I only have adjustment between 6 and 8 before I'm completely bottomed out on flat ground! Am I missing something very obvious? Any help is much appreciated.


Lastly, I'm starting to look for a belly mower, anyone have one that fits mine they would like to sell? 60" preferably.

If you look at the three point arms there are several holes you might need to move the arms to another setting to get more lift.
Another adjustment is the position of the center link on the tractor, you will get more lift if you put the center link in the lowest of holes.

Welcome to the forum from Northwest Alabama. Wolfman hit the nail on the head.

Welcome, and NIW is correct. I just went through the same thing, and if you scroll down a page or so in this (the implements section) you can find all the things I have tried amd which helped get me more lift for a back blade. There is one more set of holes I haven't done yet, but I have enough lift for the amount of snow we've had, so I haven't bothered. It is daunting if you think there are 27 possible combinations...

My quick hitch is happiest if it is vertical, so that is part of the challenge. You can shorten your toplink but then the quick hitch might not pick up stuff nicely.

Good luck and holler if you need more help.

I got your 60" mower but I cannot imagine what it would cost to ship it to you.

You'd be surprised how less expensive (but little more risk maybe?) you can ship using Yesterday's tractors. Not only do you get private folk looking to save some funds as going to pick up a tractor from grandpa's estate to take back to their home...... but you get independent driver/shippers who watch these pages too for loads and they may be bonded/insured. Then there is Uship too. Never hurts to ask.

You can ship large bulky items like this for fairly cheap via Fastenal, I do it all the time, about 1/4 of normal shipping costs.

Just a follow up everyone. I've been really busy lately and haven't been able to jump back on here.

I tried to adjust to the different hole locations but only gained about 1" more lift on the box blade.

What I did figure out was, underneath the seat where the height control arm attaches, there is another threaded rod with two nuts that sticks out and can be adjusted. I backed out the rod and jackpot! It took the lift up a whole foot! Very excited for that.

Now for the mower! Shoot me an email and with price and so forth. I'll check on shipping to get it here. stutzmanjas84@gmail.com

For the mower, there are currently two for sale in he classifieds right now. One says it has the mounting hardware and looks lightly used by the pictures.

The 3 point adjustment peaked my interest. I've had my tractor for ten years and did think it had limited range but it was never really a problem. I tried this adjustment today and it works. I didn't have an implement attached but used a drawbar as a measuring guide. I got 3 extra inches of height which is pretty cool. Two things I observed 1) the upper lift arms now raise high enough that it contacts the wiring harness for the rear lights etc. This is no big deal as I just secured that bundle tight to the side and it keeps them apart. 2) when I first adjusted the nuts, I backed them off pretty far. When the lift was raised to the Max, it sounded straining like it was under a load. If I pushed the lever forward it would stop. I played with adjustment nuts a couple of time and eventually got it so it still raised higher and the noise stopped. I don't know much about hydraulics so maybe that wasn't going to be a problem, but I'm more comfortable with it not sounding like it's overworking.

Thanks to the OP for this tip. Now if I can increase the FEL height I'd be all set.
