I got one on a whim and would never go back. Much faster, much easier in the winter, great for running the loader/3pt height with one hand and steering with the other. No downsides that I have seen.

Thanks for your help everyone, I picked up an FDR1660 over the weekend and was pretty impressed. It needs some work (new drive belt, bolts for the lower link arms, and floating top link) but it took dropped my time from 90 minutes to a little over an hour, and that was with lots of on/off the...

Thanks for the info, any complaints with the loader stick location (especially with running the grapple comfortably)? How is stability (not sure if you had wheel spacers on the B)? I too have a b2601 and from time to time feel like I should have gone "up a size" to the L series when doing some...

Thanks for the input everyone, I feel a bit better looking at an RFM. I might pickup a Brushhog HDTH5 I saw for sale, but supposedly its 672 lb! that might be a little much for my B2601 without the loader (to avoid turf damage) though the ground is at least very flat. I have to laugh when I...

After another evening of long mowing time, clogging chute, and a terrible ride, I'm on the hunt for a better mowing solution. I currently mow a ~.6 acre area (that will expand over the years) with a cheap 30" Troybilt TB30 and a ~1 acre field in the woods that could go RFM or Rotary cutter in...

The B2650 step will work on the B2601, the holes are there for it and everything. If you have a Mid-Mount mower just note that the mower deck may or may not fit with the step in place. I believe the step was $60-70 at my local Kubota dealer. #158 kubota b2601 compact tractor. Stepp'in Up...

Got the tractor just in the nick of time, you're youngest will just about fit on your lap for another summer (maybe two). I only have mine on my lap for very flat/safe work and if I push back I can have her sit on the seat between my legs and get the belt across her and I. She can just barely...

Definitely only the rear should be done. Wheel spacers make a major difference and is the best upgrade/modification I have made for my 2601. Only consideration for mounting them/caveat I can think of is that Mid-Mount Mowers might have clearance issues with the spacers, but thats about it. If...

Alternator: I think the high-output might be if you put a cab with heat/AC on. Toolbox: if you look in my pictures, a 50 cal ammo can works fine to mount where the old one was. Block heater: I highly recommend one if you live up north-ish Weights: Are you getting anything on the 3pt? I've got...

For worklights I got a 3-light set from Rops Lights out of Canada. They came pre-wired, just put them on the ROPS (they use ubolts) and ran the cable to my rear right fender plug. They came with nice, heavy duty zip ties, switch box etc.. Very bright and have worked very well for 2...

B2601 has some nicer creature comforts, the mid-pto, and is quite a bit lighter. Great for your use if you are working on finished property (finish mowing, running mulch around etc..), or want a smaller tractor but for heavier use I think an L series would handle that work better/quicker. I...

A little late, but hey with the supply issues you've got a few months.. 6 acres is a good chunk of land, have you considered a rear finish mower? 2601 can take a 60" model for sure, but might be able to handle a 72".

Good idea on the power, you can never have enough outlets and options to pull power from. Just make sure you get in the habit of plugging in the tractor and making the cord very visible and very in the way. I have my cord/outlet on the left side of the tractor so I run the extension cord through...

Good to hear it went smoothly. As a follow up, I ended up tightening the plug and have been leak free since. Normally I don't see any value in "Smart home" gear, but for the tractor/block heater I made an exception. I bought an Amazon Alexa plug and use that with my block heater. I can turn it...

Yep, I ordered a Super Splitter in April, I got it in late July. The story is the same for pretty much ANYTHING outdoor related (ATV's, boats, snowshoes, etc..). I see it for work as well; laptops and monitors that would normally be stocked and "ready to ship" and all getting 2-3 month delays...

You'll want something like the RB1672 then. The 72" is required so you can angle it and still cover your tracks. I use an RB1672 on my B2601 and had good luck with it last winter.

Unfortunately documentation is sparse even on a common B2601; its not in the workshop guide, manual, and the instructions for it are pretty sparse (it is very generic due to the amount of engines its used in). My install was very simple on a B2601, just remove the little fuse box (1 button) and...

Yes, the 3/4 version is what I got. Fits in the last hole in the draw bar. The hooks on the below chain fit right through without issue/finagling. (cheaper chain of the same type is available from Home Depot/Lowes): https://www.harborfreight.com/516-in-x-20-ft-grade-70-truckers-chain-60667.html

This is what I have on my 2601 and it fits and doesn't interfere with the 3-pt arms/hardware: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Y75OLK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The drawbar is how you want to be pulling things, not just skidding logs, so if you need to pull a branch...

I hear "Tractor Mike" keep reinforcing writing down the sames persons contact info in a million places (including cell number) and working with them quite a bit for the sale. How much do you actually work with them and not just the Service or Parts department? I'm working through the buying...
