My B2650 has done that several times during its 800 hours of use. I have found that the following corrects the issue for several hundred hours. Actually it has not been an issue for a long time. Perhaps it has "broken in" so to speak. 1: Degrease with engine degreaser the entire linkage under...

I leveled 1 acre of very rough land using my B2650 and my York (landscape) Rake. My soil was very rocky, which I spent days removing, however, the rake did a good job of leveling. You can set the depth using the 3PH controls.

This is an amazing post for a couple of reasons. 1) Just to admit what had transpired is more than most would do. I expect because of this others will be spared the pain Egressman went through. Also it may keep others from pulling with too small of a trailer or tow rig, which is a major safety...

Lugbolt is correct. I'm a master electrician (for what its worth) and lots of electronics experience. It is very likely a momentary dead-short. Check the wires running to the rear and remove the light lenses and bulbs. See that the socket and bulbs are clean and the spring-loaded sockets look...

I use 3% Moly. If your greasing a FEL or Backhoe you need the Moly. As others have noted, the Moly is an extreme pressure grease and the pivot points on these attachments create tremendous pressure. It is certainly most important to have the Moly additive. Your not doing your equipment any...

Tempered Glass is funny that way. Some times the glass fails, perhaps because of stress due to how it is mounted, perhaps because of a manufacturing defect. There is currently a large (and growing) recall on several car brands for failures of the Tempered Glass in their Sun Roofs.

Can your glass guy replace the tempered glass with safety glass (like a automotive windshield)? Tempered glass is extremely tough. Hit a tempered glass window with a hammer and the hammer will most likely fly back at you. However just prick tempered glass and it will explode in a million pieces...

I have a B2650 with FEl & Backhoe, with the "industrial" tires. These tires, well a great all-round tire, are very poor in snow therefore, I run front chains only. I plow a long driveway with a conventional plow and pickup and use the Kubota for cleanup and moving back snowbanks. We have had...

I have 650 hrs on my B2650, purchased new in 2016. Most of the hours were recorded last year as I was clearing a new 1 acre field and removing lots of (big) rocks, and adding many yards of fill. I'm sure I got 100% out of the backhoe and FEL. It is an amazing tractor. So far I have replaced one...

Grease with Moly is for "extreme pressure" applications, which is why Kubota and others specify this for the backhoe & FEL. It sure is messy however I do use it (5% Moly).
