    I don't understand the hate with the "treadle" pedal.

    B2601 does not have a grease zerk on the pedal shaft there are Youtube videos showing how to install one though

    I don't understand the hate with the "treadle" pedal.

    I liked the pedal on the in-laws BX however when I got my B2601 it was a different matter. It was way to stiff and then I found the thread here that showed which spring to remove and then all was right in the world again.:)

    How big a generator do I need to run a Lincoln 220 stick welder.

    I am also on team trench. When we built the shop I had a 210 MIG welder and shop heat to consider I opted for a 240 volt 100 amp subpanel and underground cable (25 meters). Here we can pull selfwire wire permits, so most of the work was done by me. However I hired an electrician to run the cable...

    Pros and cons to Kubota 0 turn mowers

    We bought a 54" Z422 this spring to cut our approx. 2.5 acres of grass (previously using the tractor and a 60" RFM) this shortened our cutting time from 4.5 hours (wife likes lots of trees) to 2 hours. There have been no issues with this new mower and the suspension seat is great. The only other...

    B2601 nose suitcase weights? What, where, and how much?

    I had looked into the Kubota front weights when I first started mowing with a 60 inch RFM due to the issue of the front wheels not staying on the ground with the loader off and the the mower raised. The weights have a built in tab that bolts to the tractor frame (bolt kit extra). By a fun turn...

    I have the QH15 on my B2601 so had to add the cat 1-3 bushings to most of my implements. Now that they all have bushings its no big deal. Added a Hydraulic top link and best thig since sliced bread. Only regret is that the QH16 was not available at the time I got mine, could have skipped the...

    2 questions - anti galling compound for SS and winch ??'s

    As far as anti galling compound the answer is yes you should use it. I worked in a power generating station and the main bus connections used SS hardware and boy if the last tech didn't use the compound he was awarded with some very choice comments. If you never plan on taking the hardware apart...

    PTO on mower

    My B2601 was very hard to turn when new. Did you put your PTO selector lever in Mid PTO only position first as that should make it possible to turn the rear PTO output shaft. After the PTO shaft from the mower has been connected you can return the PTO selector lever to Rear only and away you go.

    B2601 losing power in reverse?

    Yes it is normal , as long as your PTO is not engaged your tractor will stay running. and there is another seat switch to defeat that issue, you can find that in your owners manual

    Piranha!

    I agree with you. I had gotten one the year after I got my B2601 and it greatly improved the digging ability of the tractor.
