    Wheel Adjustment for B2320

    I'm getting more familiar with my B2320 HST. It has Industrial tires. In the manual there is a section about Wheel Adjustment for the B2320 HST. What is this? If it's a way to move the wheels further apart and make the tractor more stable, I'm interested. Appreciate any insight. Thanks, James

    Weights For the Front of my B2320

    After looking into putting more weight on the front of my B2320 with a loader I'm interested to know if anyone has fabricated weights to bolt onto the existing holes where the suitcase weight hanger would go? This would go behind the grill guard. I'd like to see about having someone create some...

    Weights For the Front of my B2320

    Thanks for the suggestions. I'll ask the dealer about wheel weights vs detachable weights. Definitely don't want to break an axle :eek:. James

    Weights For the Front of my B2320

    I've got the rear of my B2320 pretty well ballasted with loaded tires and a ballast box with around 500 lbs in it. I have a loader but want to add some more weight to the front to improve traction. I'm looking for information/prices for what I need. I'm guessing there are suitcase type weights...

    Kubota Model Numbers

    I'm new to the Kubota scene. I'm getting to know my new B2320 and like it a lot. I'm looking at other models of Kubotas and want to know what the basic difference is between the B models, L models, and Grande models. I confess that I find the model numbers on older tractors a bit confusing. Now...

    Cold Weather Starting

    I'm interested in a magnetic pan heater because installing the block heater sounds like more than I'd want to take on and getting the machine to the dealer is expensive. They just stick on to the oil pan by magnetic force? Any suggestions about which one to get? Thanks, James

    Cold Weather Starting

    My new ( to me ) B2320 had quite a bit of trouble getting started this morning. It was -1 and I live on top of a windy hill. When I bought the tractor I mentioned to the dealer that I figured I'd need a block heater but he assured me it would start in the coldest weather. Is it a big deal to...

    B2400 tire sizes

    Hi Mike, Thanks for the lead. I looked for the Wrangler tires online and came up with Duratrac 33 x 12.5 x 15's for around $200.

    I thinking of turf tires for my new ( to me ) B2320. It currently has Industrial tires. I called my Kubota dealer and they gave me a quote of :eek: $722 per rear tire and $86 per rim.
