    Looking at new B2650 and

    I have the bb1560/b2782b combo, a perfect winter pair IMHO for the B2650. And the b1560 full of gravel is just about right as far as tractor power and grip can handle well. I have no weights or filled tires, R4 tires, LA534a loader with standard bucket. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Looking at new B2650 and

    My Taco does the job just fine for me. I had an electric brake controller installed when I got my load trail 5200gvw dumper trailer a few years back. Properly tuned electric brakes on each axle are a must, along with a properly balanced load, and good LT tires properly inflated of course. Sent...

    Looking at new B2650 and

    The trailer is an 18ft PJ Trailers unit, car hauler, 7000gvw. I think the angle of the picture makes the wheels look set further back than they are. I like to load the BH77 that way, with the bucket down on the deck instead instead of it being up in its travel lock position. It spreads the...

    Hammer and chain oil storage

    The cup holder would't hold the oil jug, I tried! That's when it fell and landed where you see it in the picture now. Stays there. The hammer is used for aligning the backhoe pins while connecting to sub-frame, and with a 1/4" round drift to loosen stubborn broken shear pins on the blower...

    Looking at new B2650 and

    I do the same kind of work as you (small size business doing residential/cottage construction in SE Manitoba) and my 2017 B2650 has become essential. The BH77 backhoe trenches like crazy, the removable FEL and front B2782B blower (with 3 point 60" box scraper on back) make a great summer/winter...

    Hammer and chain oil storage

    My B2650 oem tool box won't fit a hammer, or a 1 litre oil jug. The hammer is always useful for loosening and setting various attachment pins, etc. and my front snowblower chain oil has to go somewhere - and it found its spot! I think you'll need the BH77 backhoe subframe there to hold the...

    B2650 Woodmaxx

    No concern about the HP, beginning with reading several of many user reviews where their tractor PTO HP is below 20hp, and runs the WC68 fine - though they also say they're not chipping much above 4" material as they use it for firewood instead of chips. I'm also of the opinion that an implement...

    B2650 Woodmaxx

    I read up a bunch of user reviews and some are using our tractor with no problems for power. The hydraulic feed is speed adjustable so larger diameter material can be chipped at a suitable slow speed. Also, anything over 4 inches diameter will become firewood instead of being chipped.

    I'm looking at neither of those models for my B2650, but am close to deciding on a Woodland Mills WC68. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    Front snowblower on new BX2380

    I'm using 2782b front mount blower, with b1560 box scraper on back, never need the fel in winter. B2650 tractor. The blower sends the snow 40-50 ft away, don't have any snow banks or ridges to move afterwards. And the box scraper moves snow away from walls/structures and scrapes away ice like a...

    newbie with 2650

    I'm using my 2650 cup holder to hang a hammer on the slot in its side. Often need a hammer to tap loose or tighten pins, pop out bust shear bolts, etc., but standard hammer handle won't fit in toolbox. It has never fallen out or come loose from the cup holder, and its right out of the way.

    Snowblower Front mount or rear PTO - Thoughts?

    My B2650 has the front mount 2782B 63" blower, and a 60" box scraper on the 3-point. The scraper is very capable at moving snow and scraping ice, and adds some balance weight for rear tire traction. Not a setup for moving firewood around, but I've got that all done in the fall before the snow...

    B2782 3 point conversion

    It would not work at all at 540 rpm. I am not aware of a way to convert PTO rpm from 540 to 2500, to send to the blower. All that comes to mind would be to look at some way to change the ratio of the chain driven gear box on the 2782B? It basically down gears the PTO 2500 rpm to the blower speed...

    BH70 Can’t find weight ?

    A BH65 is 600 lbs, my BH77 is 850lbs, maybe right down the middle at around 725 lbs? Or get your tractor on a scale with and without the backhoe.

    Oil and filter

    Kubota premium UDT, and OEM hydraulics and engine filters for me, but I get Canadian Tire MotoMaster 10W30 Semi-Synthetic Diesel Engine Oil for the engine. Rang in quite a bit cheaper than the OEM offering. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

    B2782A front snowblower shaft question

    Yes indeed the chain is to support the shaft once disconnected from the tractor. To grease the ujoint at the blower end, I pull apart the 2 halves of the PTO shaft and rotate the ujoint until the zerk faces down, then raise the shaft a bit to expose it from underneath.

    Front end loader problem

    1. Are the hydraulic lines connected properly and to the correct outlet. 2. Does your tractor's hydraulic control have a neutral-position lock lever like my B2650? If so maybe it's not fully released. 3. Very basic, but is your hydraulic oil level good? 4. Same problem occur with the FEL...
