I have been looking at b3350 2016 . Is there any tire clearance issues with the rck60 or rc72 mmm front and rear tires. Wanting to add spacers for the rear.

I would stay away from the 3350 if I was you. Many have problems. Google or search the forums.

as a owner of a B3350 hsdc, i had no problems at all with the mmm clearance.
my problem along with many other owners.
is that you will paying for a shop parking spot.
my tractor was bought new january 2016. it now only has just over 100 hrs on it. 1/4th of that time, repair shops put on it. it has been worked on 12 times. currently it is in the shop with a stop work order from kubota. that stop work order was given to the shop almost a month ago.. still no word when or what, kubota is planning on doing about my new tractor.
of course they are still receiving their monthly payments....

I talked to Kubota customer care yesterday and they said the issue was with early models but they would not confirm the problems had been resolved.
I went to the dealer today and canceled the order. Priced a 2650 and it was only 500 cheaper. SO I just said no. I was trying to figure out how a dealer in OK was able to sell one for 26,900 with loader & mmm now I know.
Thanks for the reply.

Pmcbs, it sure seems that in this case, patience is a virtue! Find a machine that does what you what without troubles.

3 local dealers have all new B3350s hiding out back until DPF issues are reliably corrected. Early serial numbers are more prone to acting up. One of my customers uses a cabbed B3350 to mow the property. No loader. He and his guys have had no issues with machine, but it spends %80 of its 400 hrs so far at 2500 rpms. Same customer has F? Machine, front mount mower with cab, its been at the dealer for Regen issues for a solid 4 months. Im told maybe 20 hrs on it.

I spent a 1/2 hour talking to the head tech at my dealer. If your not going to run them hard your gona have problems most likely. Thats why Im going with a 2601. He said it will be awhile before they get this T4 exhaust issue worked out.

Purchased a used 2013 b3350 it had 42 hrs, I didn't know about the DPF problems, after reading all the bad reviews about the b3350 I am scared to death, so far the tractor has worked perfect, I hope I got one of the good ones if their is a good one, got my fingers cross, of all the reviews I think I have only seen about two are three that said good things about the B3350, let me hear from happy owners IF they are any, I know I love my b3350 SO FAR.

I am trying to recall on the tires. If you use the large R4 19x5 rears you can't use a MMM! Also according to the whole goods book wheel spacers are not compatible.

I have the B2650 and in the book it says that the deck bump stop is equipped with extra spacers on the bump stop for use with turf tires for added clearance, mine is a 60 inch deck with R4's and does not need the spacers. Evidently the turfs most be larger in diameter and interfere when raising the deck. Bump stop extensions keep deck from raising to high and hitting tires.

The B2650 does not use 15x19.5 tire package. Only the 3350 has them as an option! And if we revert back to the OP's title.....

Plus these are the current statements from the Kubota wholegoods book which is the most up to date information from Kubota corp.

My deck installation instructions said exactly that.

I had R4's on when I installed my deck and now have turfs. I did not need to add the spacers and no adjustments were needed.

I have a 2014 B3350 with 160hrs. Been DPF issues since day one but is fixed now,
according to dealer. Trouble is, even while using tractor at full throttle all the time
the tractor requires a regen on average every 8 hours. Been as frequent as every 4
hours and once went 12 hours. Dealer now says it is performing as it was designed to.
