    BX 3 point operation and adjustment

    The BX 3 point hitch can float up from what ever position it is in. Hold the 3 pt lever down and the implement will drop until it is supported by the ground or the hitch is at the lower end of it's range. Let go of the lever and the implement can float up from that position.

    3-Point Stabilizers?

    Telescopic stabilizers are standard on B2650 and B3350, and optional on B3350SU for $208. Visit a Kubota dealer and have a look at the links on a B2650/3350. If they look like they would fit you B then talk to a salesman about the "wholegoods" price for the kit for installing them on a B3350SU...

    Position Control

    Dirt Mover is your tractor a B3350 or a B3350SU? The B3350 has a position control valve with a height of the hitch corresponds to the control position handle. The B3350SU has what Kubota calls "quarter-inch" valve which works differently. With the control handle in the middle "neutral"...

    Position Control

    B2650 and B3350 have position control but not draft control. Move the postion control handle and the 3 pt hitch follows. The 3 pt hitch lift arms always move to the same height for a given position control handle position (unless something causes it to float up). The B7100 had simpler "up/down"...

    finally.....about to move in...still researching

    Looks like the Kubota rear wheel spacers are L8787 and move each rear wheel out 1". Price from "Build My Kubota" is $233. http://www.kubota.com/configurator/BuildMyKubota.aspx?pgId=1&bmId=1060&sId=125 Down pressure on a 3pt hitch is separate from hydraulic "top N tilt", and only available on a...

    Position Control

    Position control should hold the height of the implement as long as the engine is running and the hydraulic pump is pumping. There is a valve which controls fluid into the hitch lift cylinder and is linked to the position control handle and the 3 pt hitch lift levers. If the lift levers drop...

    BX 3 Point Float Control

    On our BX2350 I can hold the 3 pt lever all the way down with my right leg. But I've also thought that another method for holding the lever down such as a simple latch would be useful.

    B20 front rims?

    Wholegoods (not Parts) prices for a 23x8:50-12 rim with tire for a B20 were $139 to $180 in 2013. Price depended on type of tire. I don't know if they are still available.

    Hood Grill Cover

    Read about problems with snow from a snowblower being sucked into the air intake on B2650 and B3350 tractors. May have been on a different forum. Solution on the B2650 was to pull the end of the air snorkel from above the radiator, and bend it so that it pulled air from behind the radiator. For...

    B 2620 Brake Pedals location

    My guess is the brake pedals on the right are a carryover from previous tractors with gear rather than hydrostatic transmissions, and which had a clutch pedal on the left. The speed control pedal, sometimes called the "accelerator pedal" is not linked to the engine. Rather it controls the...

    New B2650 steering

    Do you have the position control lever for the 3 Pt hitch all the way at the top position? If so try moving it down a bit. I've heard that having it at the top can take power from the hydraulic system.
