    OEM mirrors on B2650 Cab - Loose

    I have driven tractors for over 51 years and find rear view mirrors useless and a PIA. The ones for my B2650 are quietly sitting on a shelf in the barn. If I only worked in open fields they would be ok but I live in a sizeable Pecan orchard so.....

    Are all Kubota keys are the same?

    Re: All Kubota keys are the same? I just let all the air out of the tires every night. No problems with theft here! :)

    Keep it in 4WD!

    One of the items I like on my larger New Holland is that when you step on the brakes the tractor is instantly/electronically put in 4 wheel drive. My Kubota does not do this......

    Has anyone made a 3 point ballast that doubles as a lawn roller?

    I was going to build my own but decided to get the one listed below. Has a trap door to quick unload sand or gravel ballast if you decide to lighten it, two tool holders and a place to slide in a trailer ball. The design is super and they are a few bucks off right now...

    50hr service and manual

    I believe there are two drain plugs on some Kubota units because of the shape of the pan. The two plugs allow total drainage...

    Is there hope for the younger generations.

    The blame needs to be put on us Baby Boomers who raised the current younger generation without traditional values and coddled them to where they expect everything to be done for them. I am not optimistic about the future of the U.S. The Millenial generation and those afterwards is larger in...

    Dealer Pick-up forService?

    You can haul a pretty decent sized tractor with a 1/2 ton Pickup. My Kubota B2650 looks like a mouse on this trailer!

    To Ballast or not to Ballast-That is The Question

    My largest tractor weighs over 9,500 pounds with nothing in the loader. With a full bucket of wet sand, driving only about 1 mile a hour and running into a shallow depression on one front wheel have lifted the left rear wheel slightly off the ground. Don't over think the situation. If you are...

    Vegetable garden: tiller or plow or disc or ???

    My father used a PTO tiller on his 1/2 acre garden for over 20 years. His gardens were always weed free and easy to maintain BUT....... it ruined the soil structure and there was a low spot where the garden resided. His tilling always produced a plumped pillowy soil until it rained and the soil...

    Front Counterweight Experience?

    I am curious as to the removal of the loader. It is the easiest and most convenient counter weight to the front end. Taking it off only to add another counterweight? You can fill the bucket in seconds with sand, gravel or soil if necessary and off you go.

    Engine Life Expectancy

    Depending on what a tractor is used for some folks can go for years and the radiator screens stay very clean and air flow excellent. On the other hand if you are mowing a open field with 3-4 foot tall weeds with mature seed heads on the weeds a radiator can become clogged in less than 30 minutes.

    3PT mower wheels float, why?

    As someone already posted you are missing spacers. Once they are all there the wheels will not slide up and down in the brackets. "Agri Supply" sells all the Caroni parts online.

    Why is there a clutch lock on the L 3800?

    I just traded in a Ford 1215 I bought new in 1996 and when I cleaned it up found the original plastic "peg on a string loop" in the tool box that came with the tractor. The peg wedged between the foot rest and clutch pedal shaft when the unit was stored to keep the clutch plates apart. When the...

    3 point PTO Generators

    My point is.....I don't want any of my tractors running at 85-90% speed for days or weeks. After Hurricane Ike we went for 10 days without electricity. I have a dedicated 27KW unit for my house, barns and water wells. Also, We were using the tractors in the field and at the neighbor's clearing...

    3 point PTO Generators

    Remember that Generators run at a constant speed all the time so a PTO generator will make you run your tractor at 85%-90% throttle the whole time.
