The short answer is no. You have to be able to have the traction to overcome the drag the container will have, and unfortunately the B2650 isn't heavy enough. I'd think you'd find even an M-series Kubota might have trouble just dragging a 4k lb shipping container through loose gravel. It...

No, Kubota would not allow that. That looks like a nice, stable tractor in your link. We have some terrain similar to that around these parts.

It's a fair point, and adding spacers does place additional load on the rear axle due to a lever effect. It would be something to consider if you had an extremely heavy implement on the rear hitch. However, I wouldn't think twice about it - my safety is going to be more important than tractor...

Next year it will be called the "LX2650" or similar!

That's what I was thinking too...also beats "clean the garage / basement, etc."

No. I have an L2501 with the LA525 loader. If I leave the loader about 4 feet off the ground and shut the machine down, it might have dropped 4 inches 24 hours later. Seriously. Now granted, it is only 6 months old at this point.

I have a 2018 MX4800, and it looks just like my machine with a cab. I guess even the open station models will get a rubber floor mat now, which is nice. Controls appear to be the same. But a cab option is welcome.

If you shut down for every little pause...it is true you might help save the planet by polluting a tiny bit less, and burning a tiny bit less fuel. But you won't help save your tractor...Starting up is when the most engine wear occurs. You'll also wear out the starter faster, and your battery...

Thanks! My first Kubota was a standard B-series...a little bigger than a BX, but not vastly so. I installed 2" rear spacers and it made a big difference.

Thanks D2 Cat. I hope to never experience a rollover but if I do I want to be as safe as possible. Sounds like the cab would offer good protection. In my case, a rollover would mean taking a good tumble, multiple rolls. I always wear my seat belt on these slopes.

Yeah, BAP and I even do business at the same Kubota dealer. I've never done front spacers, but I've done 2" and 3" on the rear of certain tractors. Always been a good experience; the Bro-Tek ones are very nice quality. As for the front, I'd be concerned about added stress. Somebody said a...

It's on Kubota's site...you can get a CAB!

Thanks sheepfarmer. At one point I had an L4310 open station (2002 model) which was a large L series and the "luxury" platform. At the time, the luxury features included automatic glow plugs, full metal cowlings around all the controls and seat, nicer seat with seatback angle adjust and storage...

I got my 2013 B2920 as just the tractor, with a 60" MMM and no loader. In 2016, I purchased the Kubota loader for it and installed it myself. But it is not a cheap thing to buy at about $3700. Typically Kubota offers "implement rebates" when you buy a brand new tractor, and the loader counts...

I'm strongly considering trading my two current tractors for an L4060 cab tractor. Right now I have an MX4800 with R1 tires, rears loaded, and rim dish pushed all the way out. I also have an L2501 with R4 tires, loaded, with 3" spacers on each side at the rear. Both perform well on side hills...

Tornado, I just went out and checked mine. No seeps on either side, but the bolt wear was interesting. Sitting on the tractor, the right side front axle flange bolts have slight wear on them. Not nearly as much as the photo you posted, but some gray paint is missing. On the left side, the bolts...

Welding another plate would provide more protection but there is really no where to support the rearmost part of an added plate and it could bend or break the weld. That said, I feel the factory plate provides adequate protection...just make sure yours has it. Regarding filling the tires, you...

Yes, very slowly turn the key forward and the glow light will come on. My dealer showed me. I also have the habit of re-engaging the glow position after the engine starts, to help smooth out the engine for the first 30 seconds or so during extremely cold weather. On the 2501, turning the key...

I started it with glow plugs the next day (we had 29F) and it started very well as usual. I'm not really a fan of turning the key backwards for the glow setting. You can turn the key forward for glow as well, but its a very small zone before the engine cranks.

The tractor did start at 27F without glow plugs but it was rough. Glow plugs next time!
