I think I bought my block heater from my Kubota dealer for $50 and it took my 15 minutes to install, including the process of filing the coolant tank that was emptied when I removed the plug from the side of the engine. On a 0 degree F day, after 60 minutes of warming, the tractor starts as if...

I have turf tires on my B2650 and have never had a problem in snow, although it is a bit heavier than your BX so there may be a difference in performance between the two. I looked into rubber tire chains as I have pavement but decided that I didn't need them after trying going without. Ice on...

Yes - There is no kill like overkill. That and I expect snow will sit on the actuator and I don't want to have to replace it every 2 years. Unfortunately, it looks like IPX6 is the best I can find so I am going with it.

Where do you tap the ignition positive from? On my machine, I used the auxiliary wire in the rear of the tractor that is hot only when the key switch is on because I couldn't find where under the hood to take it from. I would prefer to grab it from the front of the tractor.

I had a gap larger than 1/8 inch but was able to bend the wings outward by hitting them with a hammer. They are made of a steel that is softer than the teeth and bend easily.

I want to attach a linear actuator to my 2782B snowblower to move the chute up and down. My primary concerns are finding an actuator that has the proper stroke length (not sure if I need 4 inch or 6 inch), is water resistant, and will move the chute quickly. With regard to the last point, I...

Did you check your tire pressure? I have heard of loaders appearing out of level when the tires on one of the tractor are inflated to a pressure higher than the other.

Whichever option you go with, I recommend the Piranha tooth bar instead of the factory replaceable edge. It cuts into a pile of material much better.

I kept mine below 2500 RPM for the first 50 hours but got very close to that because I needed at least 2400 RPM to move snow with my front mount blower. I changed all of the fluids and filters and noticed nothing out of order and the tractor is working fine many hours later.

I can't imagine NOT having a spinner. It helps make the tractor nimble when doing loader work and repetitive back and forth motions.

I had a problem connecting one of the hoses after storing the FEL over the winter. I had to hit the nipple with a hammer and screwdriver to release the pressure. When I posted about it here, people told me to connect the hoses that will go on easy and then to work the control lever to release...

B2650 owner here... I did not get those but I would like either to buy them or find a bolt that fits the opening. Does anyone know the thread size?

As others have said, simple green. Mix it 1:1 with water and rub with a soft cloth. Then hose it down.

Thanks for your input on this Paul. I am a subscriber to your channel and forgot about that video! I am going to look into Click Bond for this and several other mod projects.

I have been thinking about mounting an extinguisher. I plan to spend a lot of time out in the woods this spring/summer cutting wood and also burning wood so it would be nice to have one handy. I live in a cold climate so I would like to find one that I can keep mounted all year long -- not...

I agree with other posters that you may want to look at a machine that is bigger than the 2650. You will likely be able to accomplish everything you want with it but it will just be slower than a larger tractor. Also, I feel very unstable on my 2650 when taking on uneven ground. It might be...

Just to update the group here... This weekend, I crawled under the tractor and lubed every connection of the HST pedal assembly that I could access without taking off the floor mat. That solved the problem of the pedal not returning to center and the tractor no longer creeps when I take my foot...

I have 200+ pounds of Rimguard in each tire. I just haven't used the machine for the type of work that I am gearing up to do. I guess I will give it a weekend of work and see whether I need more traction.

Thanks for your response. So it sounds like they should hold up decently if I use them in warm weather. I don't plan to beat them up too much and would probably remove them from time to time. I did not know that there were different types of rubber chains. I have only been able to find one...

I am curious to hear whether anyone here has used rubber tire chains over turfs during non-winter months, and how well they increase traction in dirt. I have turf tires on my B2650. I went with turfs because I anticipate driving (and already have driven) over my manicured lawn quite a bit and...
