I built your tractor on the Kubota site with the 3rd function kit and that’s the part number they included in the quote. It could be wrong but it’s all I could find. Good luck!
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

Ground is still soft, but passable. Took advantage and used the bucket with piranha tooth bar on my little B to pull up (a dozen or so) small trees by the roots. Working on clearing about 2 acres of woods. Still waiting on the (bh70) backhoe.

My ground is nice and moist and a bit soft. This afternoon I used my rear blade to tip out a dozen older tree stumps that were always an obstacle to field mowing. There are still many more but I was able to remove some of the ones that were most in the way.
As I posted a few days ago, winter is over, I declared it done. So today I removed the snowblower from the tractor (omg thanks for pin releases on pto shaft!) and put it in the garage. When I turn on my outside sillcocks I'll take it outside for a good washing.
I walked the property today. Still too soft for work. Stuck at 2.x hours but installed grill guard today. LEDs for the ROPS and wiring shows up tomorrow.
Used the Woods 5 ft box blade today to take out some eons old sediment from the uphill side of an old maintenance road that we use as a trail. I just put a 1 by board underneath the right side to make it easier to work the adjustable lift arm to get a tilt on the left side of about 3/4 inch. Worked great. The 518 # Woods blade is just about right. Had to lift it up over some tree roots 3 or 4 places, but it mostly just broke them or dug them out.
I got stuck today as well. Thought I'd take some stuff to my Pond. This is an acre that's in front with its own mini hill. Now I need more dirt. Had to do the bucket scoop helper to get back up. LOL... Note to self-Industrial tires fill up with mud and become racing slicks.
Here’s the Kubota kit (I believe). 1 in stock.
Here’s another Kubota kit that appears to be in stock.

It is a WoodMaxx WM-8m. I have had it since Jan 2015 and I am very happy with it. I have some older post with pictures of a couple mounds of chips when I cleaned up after have 16 trees push down to make room for our garage.What brand/ Model is that chipper if i can ask.
I have looked at Dr brands and some knock offs. Not sure wich is the best ideaany insight would be appreciated.
I just looked them up. In NY and the current price on that unit is better than the others ive researched.
Thanks again. Rebuild kits are not crazy expensive too.
I cut down some honey locust trees and put them in a pile. Drilled holes in the stumps and poured in some concentrated triclopyr. So far, haven't noticed any beet juice leaking out. Those trees are nasty.
I think my was clean tractor may run away back to the dealer like a upset teenager after that fiasco. I was laughing though I'm sure my neighbor who's house is at that low level on the other side of the pond was laughing as well. Gotta laugh at youself.....I took that pic from up in my drive overlooking about 100 yards away. Those are deep ruts is my point. I drove up the road a mile to clean out the tires. there's a path out to the road to the right.
just dirt, My buddy up the road has a mini excavator and a dump truck. that may get graveled soon back to the area i want to remove trees. Shekki, you are a wise man.
Just installed the factory Bucket level indicator on my B2601, as said in the You Tube video the dealer said that Kubota didn't make one, how ever the LA535 Loader indicator parts fits like a charm great add on
I installed the same, the only thing that might cause Kubota to say it doesn’t fit is that the bend in the indicator rod isn’t at the indicator when the bucket is level. Of course the mark you might use would be at a different location for each attachment.
I’m pretty impressed with the tractor and the grapple. I did a few things that were probably pushing the equipment a bit more than I usually would as a test and to get a feel for my new equipment and all is well.
The first pic is a tree that was too long for me to move anywhere due to living trees in the way but I wanted to see if I could lift it. A bit of a struggle but stable and I could move it if I had room. So I found that it can handle more than I need.
I moved a bunch of smaller trees and branches too. There is a bit of a learning curve to operating the grapple efficiently but I’m getting there. Today was to just get comfortable and familiar.
Some pics at the end of my destroyed trails the scope of the tornado damage I’m dealing with. These pics are about a tenth of my project.
Also notice in the pics that I mounted my LEDs to the ROPS. I gotta wire ‘em and tweak the angles for coverage but I’m happy with the placement. Also happy that I’m up to 5+ hours AND I only caused some light grass damage but no new ruts.
The ROPS are folded which I know is frowned upon but most of where I’m operating is around low branches so I don’t have much choice. Also my land is pretty flat so I don’t have much concern about tipping. With my wide tires I felt no stability issues. Flame away.

Got the grapple on the mini tractor to try to get into some softer areas I don't want to take a heavy machine into. You got to love these little tractors.
