    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    FINALLY!!! Apparently, Santa’s sleigh had a break down but he finally came through! I called my dealer this past Saturday to find out about the 3rd function kit I ordered came in and they told me no, but my rear remote 1st base and lever kit came in. You would have thought my underwear was on...

    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    Checked out Redline Equipment website. Looks like they now deal in Case brand.

    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    Tried Messicks too. :( Nobody has them in stock and everyone has had them on back order for months now. The valves are not in short supply and the 2nd lever kit is available too. Problem child seems to be the Base and 1st lever kit. C‘mon Kubota...... fix this!

    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    Just got off the phone with Carlton and the saga continues. Apparently they have had them on back order since JULY. Rumor has it that the “Base” kit is not available which is an adaptor block of sorts that mounts to the HST and the 1st and 2nd (and 3rd for non cabs) valves stack onto it. Japan...

    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    Well for Pete’s sake! If it were just hoses I could have them made up here at my Kubota dealer or a local shop. That’s ridiculous! And by the way...... just WHO is Pete and why is it ALWAYS FOR HIS SAKE?

    Rear Valves - Salesman's Got No Clue

    Make the rear remotes/valve levers work the same as your 3pt hitch and FEL..... Forward = DOWN/FLOAT Back = UP Makes operation more common across the board. Also, I believe ALL valves on tractors are spring center which is industry standard for motion control unless some custom DIY application...

    Waiting 4 months for parts?

    I’ve had the rear remote kits on order for my B2650 Cab from my dealer for 4 months now and I’m being told that they can’t even tell me when they will be coming from Japan/Kubota. They’ve contacted their regional sales and they don’t know either. They also said that they will reach out to our...

    B2650cab with Landpride RGR1258

    Well I measured across the outside edges of the tread and not the sidewalls and came up with 58” right on the money. So if I can drive really really straight and NO BEER then the RGR1258 should be fine.

    Putting trailer ball on 2650 draw bar, what size shank?

    I'm pretty sure it's 5/8 on the compact "B" series draw bars. I have lots of 3/4 stuff in my shed and none would fit. Had to go smaller. Measure the hole and you will have your answer for sure. No guessing then.

    Finish mower bent wheel spindles

    I bent one of mine by backing up into a pine tree trunk. Ooops! :eek: I'm going to try to straighten it out the same way but need a way to keep the caster 180 degrees out of position.

    Putting trailer ball on 2650 draw bar, what size shank?

    Measure the hole to be sure but I think you want a 5/8 diameter shank. I recall having to look for a less common size to fit my 2650 draw bar. 3/4" is the most common. The length should be about 2" If you do this, be sure to lift your 3 point all the way to avoid collision with whatever...

    B2650cab with Landpride RGR1258

    I have 3" spacers on my B2650 with turf tires which should put it at 60" wide. With the 58" wide tiller I will be 2" wider than the tiller's cutting path. My question is will being 1" wider on each side really make a difference? My thought is if it is than I could offset the 3 point to one side...

    B2650 Overall Width?

    Gadget, what size spacers? I have the turfs with 3" spacers that should make mine about 60" wide. I have a Landpride RGR1258 on order and was concerned that a couple inches would not get covered. I priced going to the next size (RGR1266) but the price went up by about $600 for the added 8...

    B2650 Overall Width?

    What is the overall width of a B2650 with turf tires measured to the outside walls of the rear tires? Anybody? I know the spec sheet says 53 min. Tread but abbreviation can be interperated as minus or minimum. Not sure which. They could have spelled the WHOLE word so guessing game is not...
