    Pat's Quick Hitch vs LP QH15

    This has been interesting, especially since I just got a B2601 and have been thinking of getting a Land Pride QH10 or 15. Now I am thinking of a Pat's Quick Hitch! However, I don't yet have any pto implements, and the only one I see in my future is a rotary cutter or flail I'd use 1-2 times a...

    Quick Hitch and Heavy Hitch

    Got my Heavy Hitch today and love it. But the sway bars on my B2601 MAY prevent getting a full rack of weights on the inside. I hadn't checked into that, so I now I might have some extra weights. I don't think my eventual Quick Hitch will put the Heavy Hitch back far enough to squeeze in extra...

    Quick Hitch and Heavy Hitch

    I heard back from Heavy Hitch, and they said they used the Land Pride QH 10 and 15 when designing. So those tend to work well with their hitch. No guarantee but it sounds like the double weight racks at least stand a good chance of working best with the LP QH.

    Quick Hitch and Heavy Hitch

    The O&D video is a great lead and indicates that the weights can hang rearward with the LP05 hitch but not to the inside, toward the tractor. The curved top on the Land Pride 05 hitch prevents that. I have a similar question, though regarding the SpeeCo or Land Pride 10 or 15 hitches and the...

    B2601 FEL

    Does anyone know if this is the kit that can be used on the LA435 loader that's on my B2601? I asked Neil Messick if there was an indicator made for the B series and he said no. I should have asked him or someone in parts whether one can be retrofitted for B series/B2601.

    Steering wheel loses straight-ahead position

    I am really sorry to learn of this wheel issue. I got my new B2601 today and soon noticed the crooked wheel. Pointed it out to the salesman who had delivered. "Yeah, I hate that too—some mechanic assembling the tractor slapped it on there." He told me I could pop the center cover, access the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I like that Kubota spinner! I want to try a spinner on my tractor. Why did you put yours at about 10 o'clock? I see some there and some at 7 o'clock. Putting mine on the left side makes sense because I'll probably use it when using a blade on the front. Steer with my left hand and keep the...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I like your spinner! Got a question. How did you decide its placement? I was thinking of putting one on the same side but a little higher. But I have not used one! Anyone else with spinner placement advice? Or brand. From its looks, it appears to be a Polar Snow Products, sold by Amazon and I...

    Kubota Build Price vs Dealer List Price

    I posted elsewhere before on this topic concerning a B2601. The big dealer north of me was just a little under MSRP. I think I could have done better pricewise with a smaller dealer. But the big guy is opening a store 20 minutes from me and I thought that might help over the long run. What I...

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    My B2601 loaded on the dealer's trailer with another tractor to come to my place tomorrow! They have got the grapple and bucket I ordered at the front of the loader; the back of the truck has my snow blade. My other options are wheel spacers, filled rears, and additional front hydraulic.

    Grading Scraper for a B2601

    I don't have much experience with a grader blade, though I have my B2601 ordered with a 5' snow blade on the front. I also ordered a Land Pride 1560 box blade. This is about 400 lbs and about 100 lbs more than the box blade the salesman wanted me to buy. Lift capacity won't be a problem but...

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    On starting and stopping, this is from the online manual I found for my B2601 that's coming: STARTING: Set throttle lever about halfway [looks a little lower than that in image] Turn key to “On” Turn key to “Preheat” for 2-3 seconds 5 seconds @ 32-23F 10 seconds @ 23-5F If it’s very cold...

    New to diesel -- what don't I know?

    This may've been answered but I wonder about off-road vs highway diesel fuel? Our local stations here in SW VA generally have both, with highway more expensive. I am getting a new tractor and wonder which way to go.

    Can't find a B2601, is the B2601 the right pick.

    I ordered a B2601 on December 15 and my dealer said it will be 4-6 weeks to get it. It is unclear to me whether I am getting one he has in stock—I didn't go to the dealer and have not tried out the model. But I have owned two previous B series gear tractors and a JD970. My only minor concern is...

    Buying a B2301 w/o a mower deck

    I just ordered a B2601 without a MM mower. I realized that my property is such that I'll have to have a small mower anyway. Once we lived a place I was able to lay out so that I had only one engine. It was great!

    B2601 regrets?

    We all do the "just a little bigger" thing. I just did it by ordering a B2601 instead of a BX. But at some point, you lose the small-is-beautiful functionality that attracted you in the first place. I look at where frame sizes change. A B2601 is a bit bigger than a BX. But that larger frame...

    Rear view mirrors

    I really like this setup. Can you say which mirrors you ordered and if you had to drill holes for them?

    Negotiating on B 2601 - Web Build Price vs Dealer

    Right, mikester. Pricing is a game manufacturer's and dealers play to make sales and to profit. A while back, on cars, I felt I'd cracked the code by finding online the supposed actual cost of a car to a dealer. Everyone was doing that, the word was out. Going on memory here as to what the...
