    Dump trailers.

    I need a dump trailer for use on my 16 acres. Local dealers only carry large highway models. Anyone have experience with smaller CUT/ATV type dump trailers. Will be pulling it with either B8200 hst or a B2601

    Implement Manufactures

    Took delivery of a TLBMMM 2601. It replaced a 31 year old L2250. I have a set of Payne pallet forks but they will not work as well on the new rig so want to get a QA fork set. The Kubota set is $1200.00+- from local dealers. Was looking at several aftermarket suppliers. Everything implements...

    B2601 frt loader bucket question.

    My new 2601 has the quicktach 60 in light material bucket. It'll work great for gravel/earth/mulch bags and such. The one thing it won't handle, I believe, is the Payne Forks I used on my old L2250. It obviously had a heavier pinded 60 in bucket which worked well with the pallet forks. Is there...

    Oil change question

    I had a L2250 gear and still have a B8200 HST, both over 30 years. Changed oil every fall whether I put 10 hours or 100. Replacement filter are white as far back as I can remember. Changed trans and frt axle fluid 3 times in each. Coolant every 3 years, then 5 as antifreeze life improved. Fuel...

    Want to fill my rear tires!

    Will washer fluid retain its antifreeze ability for the life of the unit. I had calcium chloride in my last unit for 31 years. How does one determine quantity needed, and where can RV antifreeze or beet juice be bought in larger containers. I'm getting a 2601 delivered this week, was thinking...

    Wait,wait and more waiting

    Put a deposit on a B2601 TLB set up and have been waiting almost a month now because there are no BH70 units in that distribution network. There were early in the spring but nothing now. Has gone from 3 weeks to 6 now with nothing guaranteed. Is this the norm when KUBOTA runs dry on something...

    -20 windshield washer fluid

    How does one add the fluid to the tires, does the anti freeze ability of the fluid last the life of the tractor? My 85 L2250 had a salt water solution for 31 years, was eating away at wheels when sold last year.

    Land Pride Quality Not Up To Par

    Been working with my KUBOTA dealer for 20 years. Ordered a new tractor and asked about Land Pride. Doesn't have a catalogue, sells BEFCO line. He's had to many quality issues over the years to recommend and sell them. It's one mans opinion, but he's never disappointed me.

    Opinions on 2680-1 w/drive over deck

    45 years I've mowed with a ground contact deck. Just sold my 31 year old L2250 set up as such. Ordered up a B2601 with suspended/drive over deck. My dealer for the last 20 years said don't drive over the deck, he's seeing a good number of decks starting to cave in and it effects the decks...

    thinking of buying a 3 point snow thrower

    For 31 years I used a 60 inch Ford 3 point blower on the back of my L2250 gear tractor. Had a after market cab on it. Drive is 1300+ feet road to garage with parking area big enough for 15 cars in front of house. First time 450 feet is gravel. Did a good job. I got older and more adverse to...

    B2620 vs. B2601

    I too just closed on a 2601 TLBMMM. Down a bit from the L2250 I had for 31 years but more tractor than the B8200 HST mower setup I still have.

    which diesel fuel is best?

    Looking at new tractor, dealer strongly suggested I stay away from Biodiesel. Modern tractors are not as forgiving as my 30+ year old units I'm replacing. One Mobil dealer within an hour of me carries non bio low sulfur. This is the issue that concerns me. Tech says Kubota frowns on Bio when...
