Yeah, I was going to ask if it's split.I wouldn't think about it. Grommets can't fall out of their holes if they have something passing through them
Thanks for the suggestions. I checked those two locations and the grommets are still there.
I was thinking maybe from something underneath, based on where I found it but, it could have bounced/rolled to where I found it too.
I use our Kubota.ca parts finder which has a way nicer search function than Messick's for all my tractor's parts lists and exploded drawings.Sorry for doubting, and thanks to @nbryan
Dealer was no help, Kubota corporate was no help....but upon examination of the parts drawing for the suggested grommet, it does appear to be the one for the washer nozzle on the front windshield.

It either fell out of somewhere, after being dropped during assembly. Or the same part number is used somewhere else. I'll try to figure out where.
Thanks again. I was going to lose sleep over this for sure.
Kubota.ca won't let me use the site (because my IP address is not in Canada). I am 5 miles from the border though....should be close enough.I use our Kubota.ca parts finder which has a way nicer search function than Messick's for all my tractor's parts lists and exploded drawings.
I put "B2650HSDC" for model and "grommet" under description and simply browsed the various parts lists and drawings the search produced. The WW Fluid tube grommet(s) fit the bill given your photo.
Another source for it could be it was accidentally dropped on the machine into some hidden pocket whilst being serviced or assembled even, and only now rattled its way out onto your floor.
Can you access a computer with a vpn you can geo-locate to Canada?It's not a split grommet. There's no way for this particular one to fall out onto the ground (from the installed location for the front windshield washer nozzle).
I'm convinced (now) that it's an artifact left behind from the assembly line (someone, or something, dropped it).

Thanks for the help everyone.
