    Tire Ballast Hurt or help on Snowy Hills?

    Ballast will help a bit on snow but not much. If you have traction problems when removing snow, you need chains, which will help a great deal. Wet snow is more slippery than is dry snow. Turf tires are better in snow than other types. Confused a bit. Do you have turf tires on the B? Guessing...

    Best tractor for snow moving in gravel lots

    Couple of comments: Box blades are not designed to remove snow. A three point mounted blade, preferably hydrauliically angled, is a much better rear mounted solution. Snow blowers are not well suited for removing snow from parking lots. It is not possible to remove snow from crushed rock...

    Kubota Easy Over Mower Deck

    No experience with the model in the video but I have had a so-called drive over 60" deck for my 1994 B1750 for over 30 years and after trying the drive over method once or twice have never tried doing so again. Deck simply rolls away unless I build ramps from wood blocks which sometimes works...

    Lx 4020 rops or cab (or 3520 cab)

    Depends upon what you intend to do with it. From your post it seems that a cab version is right for you unless you spend lots of time driving around and beneath trees. I had 5 Kubotas (all but the smallest recently sold prior to a 1,750 mile relocation) and all were open station due to...

    Front weights - LX2620

    No. I bought the front weight bracket and 5 weights for my similar B3350. As stated, neither the weights nor the bracket can be installed with the loader mounted. FWIW, three weights can be mounted on the frame without the weight bracket on the B3350 (not the replacement LX 3310) but not sure...

    B1750 hst service

    There are. Automatic transmissions have torque converters which will not drain. Your Kubota has no torque converter so you should be able to drain nearly all of the oil. Do not operate if overfilled.

    The cost is in low volume distribution for the sake of convenience at your dealer, not piece price. You will find much the same everywhere.
