B2650/3350

Hi Everyone,

First post here on OTT...

I'm not really sure how to put this, but I've been checking out the Kubotas since we're coming out with a SSQA pallet fork frame and I'm really impressed with the specs on the B2650 and B3350 as a nice size and equipped setup. I went and looked at some this weekend and like them even more!

Soooooooooo are you a manufacturer or some guy that wants to build one for his tractor, or just looking for information to build one. Or trying to decide which tractor you should buy?
Welcome to the orange but a little more detail from your end will help people along with your question and answers

Hi Skeets,

Sorry, this is what happens when I try to think before my coffee in the morning! I was just impressed with the size of these two models, especially with 1) a cab, 2) an SSQA loader, and 3) the 3 range trans. I don't know of anyone else offering anything equivalent.

I was really just sayinig hello to the Kubota folks with some kudos.

Hey guys I can tell you this. I was trying to decide between these two models last week and ended up going with the b2650 purely on the fact that it didn't have the diesel particulate filter and regeneration cycles. As a mechanic Ive seen first hand what these emmisions items have done to the reliability of diesel cars and trucks. Im hoping to get the tractor by the weekend. Hope this helps.

Hi Matt,

Congrats, what will you be getting with the tractor? Loader, backhoe, etc. If you are getting a loader, be sure to consider the quick attach bucket. If not now, you'll be glad to have it later on.

Oh, and by the way, good point and I agree on the diesel emissions. I had a new F-250 with the 6.7l for a short time. Super nice truck, but way too complex to possibly be economical for the long haul. My understanding is that these new diesel trucks aren't going to last the same several hundreds of thousands of miles like their simpler predecessors.

Morning Art,, I understand now,, and all I can really add it that I got on a 2650 at the steelers,, and my arse refused to let go of the seat almost have to pry me off it with a 2x4,, Welcome to the Orange and i agree about the DPF, underground they were a PIA, and those engines had to be certified by the EPA as not putting out X amount of particulates to meet health and safety standards

Hey Art,
Im selling my bx2360 to a good friend of mine in order to move up to the B2650. I ordered the quick disconnect bucket, loader and the fiberglass canopy so I can get some protection on those hot summer days. I was told today that they wont have it til probably late next week which is a bummer but Im patient.

Congratulations! The cab is one of the main reasons why these machines got my attention. I could r.e.a.l.l.y. use a cab here in the northeast for the winters.
