Jeepers, I can’t believe I’m the only person employing a large mirror to make snow blowing with a rear mounted snow blower a simple operation. :) I easily keep an acre or more cleared of snow here, plus help neighbors out often. After 30 plus yrs. I’ve never had a hint of a stiff neck or run...

Zip ties work but if you change between backhoe and 3 pt equipment often you have to cut the ties loose, replace them, etc. Plus, depending on the ties used.....the narrow ones can start to cut into the hydraulic lines with very little vibration over time. That's something to think about or...

The BH77 on my B2650 is a little different.....with a little bit longer hose. I just use a short strap with a couple of D rings on it to gently snub the hose to the side of the tractor. Looks like you could do the same to the backhoe sub frame with a similar strap of some sort. It does help to...

To Fro65 and Lil Foot: That's too funny!! I figured someone would get a chuckle out of my Dakota sized pistol. If only it was real and my grip was strong enough if it was! :D the wood pistol was made many years ago by me when my younger brother was getting married. His "Father in Law to be"...

Here's a couple of pics of my "Crime Stopper" revolver. One is alongside my Ruger .22 and a can of coke for reference. The other is alongside my full frame .45 auto. Kinda reminds you of Crocodile Dundee's quote, "You call that a knife?" :D

My PTO auger (believe it might be a Farm King) purchased 30+ yrs ago hooked up behind my older JD750MFWD at only 17 PTO HP and worked dandy fine. I used both a 9" and 12" auger with it. Now behind the new B2650 its a mean drilling machine. I will say I was more comfortable using it with the...

You have a wonderful dilemma a lot of people would be quite envious of: a great tractor and soon to be coupled to a snow blower at one end or the other. :D Either way is a win/win situation for you and you'll be laughing at the forecast of snowfall. You don't say what other implements you own...

Greetings! Nice tractor, by the way!! I've been running a 60 inch rear snowblower on my CUT for the last 35 +/- years. (same snowblower, too!) Last year it was transferred to my new B2650 and works GREAT. RE backing up with a 3 pt snow blower: a mirror mounted so you can see the snowblower...

SMKK, a rear remote was also included in my B2650 TLB build from the factory. The local dealer installed everything. The only issue was that the rear remote had to be disconnected in order to install and use the backhoe. By the use of quick couplers they made that pretty easy. I've only used...

I hope it's not too late to mention Kubota's ratcheting lift rod kit for the 3 pt. hitch. That was a last minute addition to my order and it sure is a nice feature, especially for the little added expense.

Congrats on your new B2650!! You're going to wonder why you waited so long. :D Now you guys have me wishing mine had been ordered set up for a future grapple! But there hasn't been a day that I wasn't happy with my purchase. Have relatives in the Rice Lake/Cumberland area that are hoping I'd...

You can alter this one to have it apply to either sex but I'll tell it in it's original form as was told to me. Gentlemen, you may not want to tell this to your wives late at night! :D Why is a woman's brain the size of a bean in the morning?...…...Because it swells up overnight!

When I bought my B2650 a year ago I was waffling between the tire choices. Wanted the turfs for mowing but also R4s for light field work, backhoe etc. As a final "deal maker" I asked if the dealer would also include the other set of tires. They came back at a price pretty near their cost and I...

Did the squirrel survive the long swim back to shore? :D

That's pretty slick!! Nice idea!!

Sure you can, and I do reload the few I have. But you can only reload them a few times depending on how hot the load is before the plastic starts to degrade. The brass shells should last forever and that's where the real savings come from. Not sure how they'd feed in an auto loader or a pump...

Tree rats!! We’ve had a sweet corn stand off our driveway for quite a number of years. I had been lax in keeping the squirrel population under control for a couple of years and last year while manning the stand the squirrels would go after the corn the minute someone left the stand for...

Greetings, suddenstop. We're practically neighbors. I also spend a lot of vacation time on the North Shore of Superior in the Grand Marais, Mn area. Will have to get up to Thunder Bay sometime in the near future, too!! If you get wind driven, hard packed snow ever, like we sometimes do here in...

Fuse, I have a B2650 here in eastern North Dakota and had troubles getting it up to temperature in the colder winter months for both snow blowing and for installing a cab heater in my home made cab. I fabricated a full set (grill cover and side skirts) for it and they solved my operating in...

There's plenty of info on here about the concerns and troubles with the B3350 DPF and regen functions. I'm not knowledgeable enough to comment on those issues. It seems most say to stay away from it for the time being, however. My comment is that from my purchasing the B2650 new last summer it...
