I must have glossed over that. I do currently have an RCK60-30B mower deck on the B2920. I guess I'm surprised because the B2920 is the same frame size as the B2601. I always thought the Bxx50 series were a little larger frame and would use different mowers?

Are you saying the 2650 uses the same exact belly mower as the 2920 but the 2601 uses something different?

What would be the advantage of a B2650 over a B2601? They have the same power rating. I won't be getting a backhoe...probably just a loader. I have a 2018 MX4800, I'm well aware of the DPF.

That's one of my concerns, weight. Kubota is saying a 2601 HST weighs about 1600lbs; the L2501 gear drive is 2600lbs. SO...1,000lbs more to move and 4-less HP. My concern is that I mow steep slopes with the B2920 and my 4-foot flail behind it. Sometimes the grass is very tall and I need...

I have a 2013 B2920 I use in my landscaping business. It has a loader and belly mower, and I also mow with a 4-floot vrismo flail mower. Although there is nothing wrong with it, I tend to keep things a certain time, get value out of them, and buy new. The problem is this: There is no 29HP...

Yeah, me too. (Lol...MeToo movement for tractors). But in all seriousness, I expected the MX (which uses common-rail, electronically-controlled fuel injectors and much higher fuel pressures) to be better on fuel than my older, mechanical fuel injection Kubotas. But it is not. And I have not even...

Oh yeah, having a hose and nozzle is much, much better than using 5 gallon cans. My nozzle is even auto-shutoff. I will say my MX4800 gets the worst fuel economy of any tractor I've ever owned. My L4310 mowing, using the same mower, will go just as long as the new MX but only has a 10 gallon...

I love seeing these L2501's getting the job done. Great tractor!

So many guys on the diesel pickup forums that claim adding this additive or that additive make their engine quieter or give them better fuel economy. "Use Archoil," or "Use PM22" or PowerService whatever. I've tried them all...never seen a lick of difference. Sometimes people just want what...

How are you getting better "mpg" on your tractor?:D Rotella T6 is pretty much the gold standard. I'm sure Amsoil is fine. I agree with BAP here, although I'd go a step further and say that Kubota (and most diesel pickup manufacturers) are not requiring synthetic at all. I'm pretty dubious of...

So I noticed my new MX has "hydraulic servo controlled" HST pedals while my 2013 B series does not. I guess on the MX, when you push the pedals, you are operating a small hydraulic valve that itself operates the full HST valving. On the B series, you are operating the valving directly. The idea...

Low range is a reduction on how hard the HST has to work. You will use more horsepower to move the tractor in high range than in low range. As you noticed, trying to go up a steep hill in high causes a lot of hydro whine and the tractor struggles. If you were mowing tall grass, you'd probably...

A Ford 8N is significantly larger than a BX. Much longer wheelbase, much larger tires, and a fair bit more power, too. As far as Subaru...yeah, it has a nice full-time 4x4 system...but most of them have terrible CVT transmissions and totally gutless engines.

Agree, and it is also quite nice. You can do an amazing amount of work with one of these.

I'm very confused by your arguments. For one thing, a Ford 8N is much larger and heavier than a BX and even today can perform more work than a BX. Of course, the BX is the nicer machine to operate. As for comparing an old car to a modern car...yeah, the modern car is better in most respects...

15 hours is nothing, really...but 15 hours is a fair amount. Maybe it was "test driven" a bunch at the other dealer? Maybe it idled? But 15 hours is definitely the equivalent of flail mowing a 20 acre field, etc. For comparison, my 2018 MX I bought this past summer had only 0.3 hours on it...

On some of the larger M-series tractors, Kubota already offers a front suspension called "Kubota Shockless Ride" (KSR) which is an option. It uses a nitrogen accumulator to absorb bumps and does improve ride without sacrificing loader capacity.

I've run my B2920 at wide open throttle most of it's 550 hour life, flail mowing. At wide open throttle, it simply allows you to cut the fastest and go through heavier grasses better. I don't think the tractor is harmed by this.

I wouldn't try to guess how long it takes to run a tractor to get the battery back to full charge. There are many variables that could impact this. As mentioned, glow plug use...but also consider that the alternator produces more output at cold temps and less at hot temps. Likewise, more output...

My bad. His is the deluxe larger frame B-series. Mine is the economy series.
