    About to purchase Kubota B series

    Not to worry! At only 400 hours on the meter your tractor is just barely broken in!!:D If there's no service records with it you might want to go through the service procedures stated in the owners manual. Great tractor, by the way. I have the ROPs version that's now barely 1 yr old with 200...

    Lighting laws just for Sidecarflip

    Too bad there isn't an herbicide for lawyers! :D Not to eliminate them completely, but something that would retard them and keep them in check.

    Question for those with a Piranha tooth bar.

    I ordered my PTB April 17 of this year. It took exactly 2 months to get a shipping notice for the bar. I had also ordered (in the same order) the backhoe quicktach and ripper tooth for my BH77 backhoe. That shipping notice came a few days after the first. The PTB fit perfect...sliding right...

    Well I think it's time.

    Congrats Curly, and the same to other recent or about to be retirees!! Curly, we share similar work experiences. I graduated from a 2 yr. trade school at age 20 and spent the next 42 yrs. working at the same place. It was a good run but after the events of 9-11 and the changes in cyber...

    Pull type leveling box scraper land leveler

    :) I only had the green machine when I fabbed this thing together a couple of years ago. But after 35 years of hard use it was showing its age a little bit. I happened to see that shiny new orange machine and couldn't resist! :D At least now I can paint it Kubota orange for my new mechanical...

    You Know You Want One...

    Sorry, I forgot to address the grandkids comment: We’re not lucky enough to have any grandkids yet so I treat Every young ‘un that visits as if they were one! It’s quite rewarding to see those kids learn and do things that they didn’t think they could or their parents wouldn’t let them try at...

    You Know You Want One...

    Thanks for the compliment!! Some more pics of the build: Stenciling the seat cover with permanent black marker. The rear carry all rack for the auxiliary gas tank. The full conversion into the LRP scooter (Long Range Patrol)!! I started this addition to it but ran out of winter before...

    Pull type leveling box scraper land leveler

    Here's a few pics of the land plane I built. I robbed the cutting edges and the hitch set up off of my 5 foot box blade and used those pieces to build a land plane. I can bolt the pieces back on the box blade if and when I need to use that implement again. The land plane works wonders on my...

    Pull type leveling box scraper land leveler

    Hi BigG I agree...time is a pretty subjective word and its length varies depending on what you yourself considers short or too long to be justified. I have an older JD750 (17 HP at the PTO) and that little tractor did more work for me than you can shake a stick at. I would till a 3 acre sweet...

    You Know You Want One...

    In grade school quite a few years ago I acquired a broken down scooter (then called a doodlebug) and made it serviceable by patching a hole in the block with a rag and custom fit wood peg. No slip clutch on it so a file elongated the motor mount holes and a rusty barn door hinge and some wire...

    Wheel Spacer Question: How Wide?

    Here's two pics of the left wheel. One without a spacer and the other with the spacer on. Pretty easy to tell which is which. You can easily see the extra fender clearance. I think there's a pic of just the rear end of the tractor by itself with the spacers on but I can't find it at the...

    Wheel Spacer Question: How Wide?

    Thanks! I have some pics somewhere. If I can't find them quickly tonight, I'll find them tomorrow for you or I'll take some new ones for you.

    Wheel Spacer Question: How Wide?

    For the same reason (tire clearance for chains) I was wanting a set of spacers for the B2650. I decided to make a set that would put the outside rear tire tread at just shy of 60 inches. My 60" rear finish mower would still cover the tracks and the xtra 7 inches of wheel base would certainly...

    Piranha Toothbar

    I ordered my PTB and some other items on 4/17 of this year and just received shipping confirmation. Part of the order shipped yesterday (5/15/19) and the PTB and the rest of the order shipped today (5/16/19). Figured I'd give them a month before I contacted them knowing that they were swamped...

    Leaf cleaning option help

    I have a pto driven blower made by Agri-Fab and it is a life saver. When we first moved onto our farmstead (heavily wooded) it would take weeks to take care of the fall clean up with mowers, rakes, tarps, trailers, etc. Happened to see this blower used for cleaning a cemetery and promptly...

    Kubota B2650 Winter Front Grille Cover

    Thank you, jdriver! Glad those covers fit as nicely on the factory cabbed tractor. They should definitely take care of your snow/ice build up and freezing hood problems. And if you ever have issues with the covers please contact me. I'm following your lead on winter being over and today my...

    New B2650

    Hi BCSB. Good choice on the B2650. You'll soon find out that your new tractor will more than earn its keep doing what you want it to do! For working in the woods in your area you'll definitely want to modify the standard brush guard to protect your grille and radiator. That's a beautiful...

    A $12 Kubota B2650 Grille Guard

    Thanks for the compliment, PHPaul. I agree with you that as they come the original configuration doesn't offer much protection at all. Now this tractor is ready for the Piranha Tooth Bar coming in a short while. Between the PTB and the grille guard I'm hoping to avoid any casualties while...
