    B2650 hydro pedal creeps out of neutral

    I had that problem as well. It was the safety switch on mine. This thread explained it: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36221

    Creeping B2650, HST pedal not centering... fix

    I have been having an issue of my B2650 HST treadle pedal not going back to center and therefore creeping unless I manually centered it. This also led to not being able to start the tractor at times because of the neutral safety switch. It was driving me insane. Searching for a solution, and...

    B2650 FEL hose wear solution

    It would most definitely take some of the bend out, but the bend actually needs to be there to pass though the metal loop on the inside of the vertical arm without rubbing so hard causing the wear.

    B2650 FEL hose wear solution

    Before I knew they were wearing, I did the same with my sleeve. I also secured it with another zip tie. It still ended up working it's way down. That's when I thought I better check under the sleeve. Sure enough, that's when I learned it was wearing. Without the 45 degree fittings, it's poor...

    B2650 FEL hose wear solution

    Unfortunately I did not take "before" pictures. I will definitely take "after" pictures tonight when I get home. The wear area is easy to locate though. When you raise the loader, watch the top of the loop the hoses pass through. You will notice that the hoses make contact there and as the...

    B2650 FEL hose wear solution

    I had mentioned in another thread somewhere that I was having an issue with the FEL hoses wearing badly where they make contact passing through the loops on the arm. The protection sleeve that Kubota puts on them did not help much. Two of the hoses had worn through to the steel braiding. I...

    B2650

    Zerks on the hoses... just what I need more things to lube! LOL. My hoses just started to wear where I could barely make out the metal in them. I took a close look at the hose routing, especially at the extremes of the FEL range. When the loader is fully up, those hoses are pushing really...

    B2650

    Overall I've been very happy with it sharing many of the likes previously mentioned. The one dislike is the routing of the FEL hoses. I don't know if it's the position of the loop on the arm they snake through,the lengths of the hoses, or something else, but they rub very hard against the top...

    Is an upgrade from a BX2370 to a B2601 really an upgrade?

    I went through the exact same thing a year ago. I had a bx2370 and was thinking of going up to the b2601. I originally thought about the B2650, but was concerned about it's size. My property is almost all wooded, so I spend most of my time among the trees. After talking with the dealer, he...
