B2601 Wheel Spacers: Where'd you get them? (Dealer says Kubota doesn't love the idea)

[keith204]

Getting closer to buying something soon. Thanks for the advice on the last thread.

When I asked about the rear wheel spacers, the salesman thought I'd have to get advice on the forums, as Kubota doesn't like doing that.

Is it a 3rd party thing? Or do I press him to look?

Kubota does offer wheel spacers for some tractors but, they’re typically pretty thin…most options are aftermarket.

I purchased the Bora 2” steel spacers for my B2601. Worth every penny!

BroTech is another popular brand.

Sounds like your dealer does not want to help you.

Might want to consider another dealer before buying.

I wondered the same, and after seeing your comment I called a dealer 30 minutes away, who said Kubota doesn't sell them for that size, but Kubota doesn't necessarily care if they're installed.

Thanks, looks like about $300. Sat on the 2601 today and it seems like 4" wider stance would be nice.

Did you put them on front & back or just back?

I've seen them done on both here but YMMV on whether there will be clearance issues with the FEL or MMM.

Just the rear wheels…and the 2” spacers made a significant improvement to the stability of the tractor on my hilly property. As mentioned earlier, worth every penny.

One thing to consider, if you purchase the steel, you’ll need to prep and paint steel spacers before installation. The aluminum are anodized and ready for immediate installation.


You can add spacers to the front but, many question the clearance and additional stress to the front axle while using the front loader.
