    Carryall for sale

    Discovered this thread area. Selling my carryall that I almost never use. Used it primarily to haul mulch down to the big garden, which no longer exists. $200. New ones from TSC are $270 but have nothing on them. Mine has a pallet with sides, removable back in 2 pieces.

    Where parts and supplies from

    I went looking for where to get fuel filter and coolant from online. The Kubota site was a real mystery. Couldn't get it to work in searching for B2601HSD-1 stuff. Even put the serial # in. Still nothing. Finally settled on Messicks. They had a combined filter kit. Was surprised that one...

    Treadle Pedal reverse

    Wondering whether anyone has any tips on how to more easily work the treadle pedal for reverse. I find that getting ones toe underneath the "forward" part and heel on the reverse end works the best but still not as easy to use as the JD/other separate reverse pedal. Need that leverage of the...

    Operation at 450 PTO rpm

    I found that operation of the JD2025R at 450 PTO rpm was completely satisfactory on both the bush hog and the wood chipper. Just did not need all the 24.5 hp at full PTO speed. On the B2601, I worked it out. It's 2,333 rpm on the engine. Should use less fuel. Fuel usage on the 24.5 hp 2025R...

    B2601 3ph lift holes

    Which lift holes on the lift arms give highest lift? Seem to be only 2 and not much lift height, more like on the 4010.

    R14 tire pressures

    The B2601 manual only lists tires by size, not type. What are inflation pressures for my R14s?

    Box blade

    Anyone have direct experience with Landpride or TSC box blades? These are the ones directly available in my area unless I also want to look at Frontier. Figure main difference might be flexibility in mounting the digger gizmos, cost as well. Figuring to level about a 3 acre area where they'll...

    Lube shuttle

    Saw a video where they mentioned and showed a lube shuttle: essentially a hand grease gun with a special cartridge without problems of conventional cartridges. Thinking about buying one for a Christmas present. They're about the same price as an air operated one, cheaper than a battery one...

    50 hour service

    Apparently the 50 hour service on at least the B2301/2601 and LX2601/SU want you to change both the hydraulic and HST filters at 50 but not the hydraulic fluid. Probably same on all Kubotas. At least you don't have to muck with suctions screen checks and all like JD says to do. I've never...

    B2301/2601 driveshafts

    With my concern about JD small tractor driveshafts, I wonder about and have never seen posted on any forum just what Kubota has, particularly on the B2301/2601. Saw a video where an LX2601 was torn apart partly and showed a steel top enclosure where the driveshaft off the engine would be. JD's...

    B2301/2601 lights outside the ROPS

    Got the operators manual for the B2301/2601. One set of lights is outside the ROPS. On the LX, these same lights are inside the ROPS. After bashing a light outside the ROPS and experience HUGH/HIGH price to replace, I've moved them inside the ROPS on the 3 JDs I've owned. Is it easy to do on...

    Kubota B replacement seat

    Has anyone replacement their Kubota B seat with like an air ride one, e.g. more like the ones on the LX2601/3301? With savings on B vs. LX, I could easily afford a seat upgrade. Ralph

    LX2601SU operators manual

    Anyone find the operators manual for the LX2601SU online? Found almost all the others but none for this or any of LX series.

    Looking for new tractor for 80th

    My son is telling his mom that his daddie is getting a new tractor for his 80th birthday (April). Gonna look at a B2301 and LX2601SU. Looks as though they're only about $1,000 apart, and the LX is 55 inches wide, which will fit across my tractor crossing at a tad over 60 inches. Only about...
