Getting ready to install chains for the first time on my B2601. Where is the proper/best jack placement to lift the rear of the tractor?
Thanks.
Thanks.
"Jack" or lift placement point?

Yeah - what Red said. After getting them on, drive it around a bit to "work them in." Then re-tighten. Lather, rinse, repeat....
Some guys will let a little air out before putting chains on, then blow them back up. I don't, will lose my fluid.....
You want them tight. If you have R4 tires, they will get lost in the treads unless real tight.
I use a bunch of genuine rubber tarp straps on the outside to keep them taught. Rubber does better in cold weather.
Good luck!
Well, tried to mount the chains today, only to find that there isn't enough clearance to the fenders.
Time to look for some spacers. Suggestions as to a good source?
Thanks.

Start with Kubota, you can find out what is recommended and price by "building" your model on the kubota website. It will tell you the size and price, and then you can look for alternatives if you want. The B2650 requires spacers for chains. On the other hand you can't have spacers and put the midmount mower on.
Thanks, but the Canadian Kubota site doesn't work the same as Kubota USA's site.
No mid-mount mower to worry about.

I tried it, and Kubota offered for your model 1 3/8 inch spacers with turf tires selected, for $299. Typically down here dealers take off up to %15 when buying a new tractor off this "list" price, so don't know what they cost if ordered separately. But at least this tells you that size is allowable under warranty.
