    Checking Hydrulic Fluid

    Hi guys, I'm a new tractor owner and am still learning. I have a B2601 and I've tried to check the hydrolic fluid at the rear of the tractor and in the front axle. But, I can't see it. It's like trying to see water against a yellow background. Do you guys have any tricks you can share that...

    B2601 FEL Capabilities

    Hi guys, I'm still trying to understand what the capacity numbers on a LA434/B2601 loader mean... If the breakout force is 1521 lbs at the pivot pin, does that mean it should be able to curl 1521 lbs? If lift capacity is 948 lbs at the bucket pivot pin (max height), should I be able to pick...

    Wheel spacers and rear ballast

    Hi Guys, I live on a hilly lot... not much level ground anywhere. I've read that wheel spacers add too much stress to the rear axle, but I've also read that they are perfectly acceptable options. I went ahead and got a set of 2" Bro-Tek rear spacers. In reading more, I stumbled across an old...

    B2601 LED Headlights

    Hi Guys, I'm looking to swap out the OEM headlights on my B2601 with brighter LED ones. I thought they were the same as GM 881 fog-light bulbs, but when I tried to use some, the plugs were different. Does anyone know what the correct bulb/connector type is for the 2601? Thank you, -Michael

    B2601 engine questions

    Hi Guys, I've got a new B2601 and I have a few questions about the engine that I just haven't found online... 1) What is the torque output curve? Like for my Ram 2500 I know I have 550 ft.lbs of torque at 1350rpm. Is there a similar spec for these Kubota engines? Is there a graph of the...

    Ballast Box Cement Fill

    It's for a B2601. Looking to add about 5cu.ft. to the ballast box. At ~150lbs/cu.ft, I think that gives me around 750lbs + 132lbs for the weight of the box totaling 880lbs

    Ballast Box Cement Fill

    Hi Guys, I've got a ballast box that I want to fill with cement/concrete. Unfortunately, I'm new at this and had no idea there was a difference between cement and concrete, much less what makes them up. So... for you guys out there that have filled a ballast box with cement/concrete, or made...

    Dealer completion gotcha's

    Hi guys, I'll probably order my B2601 this week and the dealer said it would come new from the factory, with some local assembly once it arrives. I know the final quality of the product can depend on how well the dealer does that final assembly, so I was wondering what kinds of things I should...

    B2601 3-point lift capacity

    Hi everyone, Another load/lifting question... On the specs for the B2601, it states the 3-point hitch can lift 1800 lbs at the lift points and 1400 lbs at 24" aft. But, the operators manual on p5 ("Implement Limitations") has the weight of the lower link limited to 660 lbs and in the list of...

    B2601 lift capacity

    I would have the tires filled and a ballast box on the back. I don't expect to carry things around that heavy, that high, but I need to unload 950lbs from the back of a semi with forks and haul it to a staging area. Once its off the truck, I could carry it near the ground. I also need to move...

    B2601 lift capacity

    Hi everyone, I'm a first-time tractor buyer and am a little confused on some of the specs. In particular, with respect to the FEL. The B2601 brochure states: Lift capacity (bucket pivot pin, max height) = 948 lbs. Lift capacity (19.7 in. forward, max height) = 659 lbs. So... how much can I...
