    Optimum Rpm.

    If you look at the hp/tq curve on a b2601 engine (D1105 series) you will see that between 2650 and 2800 the hp is the same. But the torque is higher at 2650 than 2800. Fuel consumption is less too. I run my engine 2600-2700 rpm when mowing. No complaints from the tractor.

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Wow. No thank you. My wife is from Michigan. We were at her uncle's funeral up in New Baltimore. Got up in the morning, and snow had covered the hotel parking lot. In MAY !!! I told my wife that we're NEVER living here.

    Mole Purge

    I have declared war on the moles in my yard!! I hate those little suckers. I level out the mounds and check the mole area 3-4 times a day. When I see a new mound I expose the tunnel, light a Gopher gasser and put it in the tunnel. Then put carboard over the tunnel and cover it up with...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    The instrument panel lamps on the B 2601 needs an LED upgrade. Depending on the difficulty, I'm going to replace them with some LEDs. There are 9 bulbs in there.

    Salesman gave me a Free Hat.

    When I traded my JD1025R for a B2601 the salesperson showed me the numbers. . . I was ready to sign the check. My wife told the salesperson to call the manager back and tell him we want $600 more off the price. The manager reluctantly agreed. Found out later the computer wouldn't accept...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Not that I use it at night, but I decided to do the $20 upgrade to LED headlights.

    Knowing what you know now, would you buy the same tractor again?

    Yes, I would keep what I have. I replaced a JD1025R with a B2601. The JD was too small and too low to the ground. The B2601 is exactly the size I needed.

    PTO

    My brother-n-law and I were using a rental tractor mounted PHD to replace the fence posts on a wooden privacy fence we were replacing. I had 3 holes left to dig when I heard a loud POW and smoke started coming out of the hole. . . I had hit the neighbor's underground electric line. I was...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    After a brutally hot and dry summer that took its toll on the grass and trees it's finally cooling off and raining again. So, I broke out the spreader and fertilizer to try and help the grass along.

    What RPM's should a Kubota B8200 engine Idle

    1000 RPM sounds right to me. Thats where my 2601 idles. My last 2 green tractors (670, 3005) idled around that. Only my 1025R was different. It was 1575 RPM at idle. Too fast. . . Just one of the reasons I traded it for my 2601.

    She won't crank over.

    I read a post a couple of days ago about a tractor that was smoking really bad and would barely run. Have you checked the air filter? Always start with the easy things first.

    ROPS adjustment

    The first thing I did when I got my B2601 home was to fold the ROPS. My property is flat, and the odds of needing my ROPS is about .00001% If I ever move to a hilly area, I can raise it back up. But for now, it's going to stay down.

    Trailering my L3560 LE 800 miles…my set up. ** New photos**

    Make sure your tires air aired up properly. Under inflated tires will overheat and blow out quickly. I'd tuck in my mirrors too. Otherwise, they will act like mini parachutes while you're going down the road.

    mower

    Welcome aboard. I just happen to have that exact mower and tractor. The mower should be suspended by the tractor, not sitting on the gauge wheels. If the gauge wheels are digging into the ground, my only suggestion is to try and raise the gauge wheels up some to give them additional...

    B2601 blowing smoke

    Good call on the filter. I've never seen an air filter with 136 hours that was so clogged that it caused that kind of smoke. I bet that poor tractor has had zero maintenance done on it. I’d be changing the fluids and filters before I did anything else with it.

    2013 B2650 No lcd Display & No Start?

    I have seen batteries show 12 volts until you put a load on them. . . My father taught me to always start with the simple things first. If it were me, and I had a battery that I could swap out and put it in the tractor to verify it's not the current battery that's what I would do...

    Towing a 14' utility trailer for a hayride?

    In our subdivision, all the houses are on acreage, so the kids can't run house to house to trick or treat. The residents sit out on lawn chairs on their driveway near the street. . . Every Halloween we get around 100 kids all riding on flatbed trailers with hay that ride through the...
