    Kubota ordering system outage coming?

    I would guess that such a major 'upgrade' will also involve new hardware. I wonder if dealers have been advised to look into new soft/hardware for their outlets. :unsure:

    So how often to grease the snow blower?

    I grease the rest of the tractor @ 10 hours so I tend to grease whatever is attached at that time. For a snowblower I would recc'd spraying all surfaces with thin, light silicone-based lube that drives moisture off the surfaces (make sure they're cool first) after finishing work & storing.

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    NEWS FLASH.....Just spoke w/my dealer and it looks like I may have a new snow plow setup for my Kubota B2601 in the very near future. I've been using an ATV w/60" plow for over 20 years but the ATV has some sort of electrical short which has baffled me so I need to move on. I've settled on a...

    B2601 shuts off after PTO has been engaged

    Welcome to the forum @Dave16....I would respectfully suggest that before you go and try any of the above-mentioned suggestions involving wiring, re-wiring, or testing; it seems pretty obvious to me that if the tractor is new, it would most likely be properly wired. The seat has a safety...

    FEL legs on b2601

    No problems with mine yet; by looking at your picture it's pretty easy to tell which leg is 'left' and 'right' :oops:

    Orange tractor salvage yards in New England?

    I would contact some nearby dealers and see if they know of any such 'boneyards'. I'm pretty sure there must be some 'tractor gold in them hills' somewhere! :)

    My apologies, Chad D. has it right, it's the QH15 with the adjustable top hook(y)

    Quick Hitch

    For your BX2680 (great tractor BTW(y)) why not check FB Marketplace for a good used Land Pride QH05 (non-adjustable top hook) or QH10 (adjustable top hook). Either would work well with your tractor, both are regularly seen for sale (esp QH05) on Marketplace.

    What Do People Do With The Loose Hyd Fitting Covers?

    I found these on Amazon and they work very nicely; used on 3rd function fittings and grapple connectors too.

    woodland mills wc88 chipper assembly review

    I've got a WC-68 that I purchased lightly used. The 'ledge' you described was present on my machine when I acquired it. I completely loosened, adjusted and carefully reassembled the entire feed chute assembly, carefully positioning and tightening bolts until I had eliminated the 'ledge' you...

    Yellow Dipstick

    If you do color it or paint it, only try one side for now, see if it helps; It may help you see the oil on the still-yellow side better.

    I get bored easily.....Then the drinks start flowing....Then I say, hold my drink, and watch this.....

    Gotta be extra careful if the deck gets wet, could be slippery. Tossing light sand on it if that was the situation may help with traction. As far as the dripping oil, maybe cutting the oil a little more (e.g., 2:1 diesel to oil) may provide quicker absorption by the deck lumber. Disposal of...

    I get bored easily.....Then the drinks start flowing....Then I say, hold my drink, and watch this.....

    Too bad you don't have some fine abrasive sand or such; you could evenly spread a light coat on for a non-slip surface! :)

    B2601 Loader

    IIRC the process to allow those loader 'legs' to fall into position involves dumping the bucket fully prior to actuating the release lever. I would imagine that the OP's experience of retaining pin shear has something to do with the leg stand being unintentionally released, then the retaining...

    B2620 stopped running while in operation

    Lack of a solenoid switch 'click' is an important clue (I think), must indicate that the power that creates the click isn't present. This could indicate a failed starter switch, or failed wiring having to do with the starter switch assembly. First check that power is getting to the switch, you...

    Im sure someone will one up me, but!

    That picker is an awesome piece of equipment, wonder what something like that goes for. What is the large brown oil-tank-looking thing right next to it? I would think the picker is 'self contained' so that dragging around a fuel or hydraulic tank wouldn't be necessary. I really do like it, I'm...

    B2620 stopped running while in operation

    I'm guessing the failure of some sort of operator safety switch (seat, PTO, etc.) which is preventing engine start. Loss of electrical power wouldn't likely happen so abruptly, similarly for fuel starvation, so it's some sort of interruption in the electrical starting circuit. Could be a broken...

    Military Veterans Thread and other 1 Delta 10 Tango stuff.

    Tractor Supply is, IMO, one of the most consistent retailers to show support for military veterans (like me) by establishing year-round 'preferred parking' for veterans with signage and dedicated parking spots right beside the front door of their establishment. Every time I park there I wonder...

    B2601 Front Snowblower Hydraulics...

    Actually, reading the above-mentioned thread ...'worst Kubota parts ever'... was what got me thinking of adapting the blower to the Swift-Tach coupler initially. I think it's a valid, doable adaptation. Hose supports are the most questionable aspect at this juncture.
