New to orange

[ofcourseitsorange]

Hello
Just took delivery on a new B2601, with FEL, Mid mount mower, and pallet forks. Loving it already even before I've used it.

I've read, I've watched videos, and did lots of research before I purchased. Is there any advice out there to let ke know what to watch out for, improvements etc from those who have had theirs for awhile.

Did I see somewhere that the machine is prewired to install a light kit on the ROPS? If so, is there a designated switch location?

Thanks

I'll be the first to say WELCOME. Great machine and you are already ahead of the game with your research and selection. I am in the camp of get out there and use it! Go easy early on, check it over from delivery JIC (oil, grease etc).

Lots of good mods and advice in the fabrication section. Easy to add lights but watch the load vs the OEM circuit - can't speak to the switch location as I decided on a shallow box with a block off plate to my left on my L

bxlr8 said to check oil and grease but he didn''t say it loud enough.

Lots of grease points are inadequately greased on new machines and many times the front 4WD axle is shipped low on oil.

You really need to check that stuff!

Lots of good info will follow BUT
the most important RULE NUMBER ONE is never, EVER spray 'quick start' in your Kubota engine!!!!

Rule number 2. If you disobey rule #1, you'll be buying a NEW ENGINE.
Rule number 3. If you post you disobeyed rule number one , I get to type 'I TOLD YOU SO'.

FYI if you have ANY cans of 'quickstart' toss them out NOW......

PS , give it a good wax job now,including both sides of the rims.

Depends on your usage, do you have trees, get a grapple sooner vs. later. Do you plan to take care of roads or build roads, hydraulic top and tilt connection for the 3 point hitch makes using box blade and rear blades a pleasure to use.
