    B2601 but what implements and attachments?

    Re: B2601 but WHAt implements and attachments? I love the piranha bar but it is a compromise. These little tractors aren't excavators, so don't envision digging up bucket fulls of dirt out of virgin ground. I do have very hard clay soil though, I can't really dig, I can strategically and...

    B2601 but what implements and attachments?

    Re: B2601 but WHAt implements and attachments? I can't really speak to any of your direct questions. I would add to your list though. 1. A tooth bar for the bucket if you want to try to do any excavation type work. I have the piranha bar and it seems to be indestructible. 2. Some kind of...

    Post hole digger

    Letting water sit in the hole really helps. In hard clay soil, the water might have to sit overnight. Another option, but be careful not to let the big auger get too deep too fast or it will get stuck is to use a smaller auger bit to drill a pilot hole first. The thing to remember about...

    Are you happy with the hydraulic lift capacity of your Kubota?

    I am happy with the capabilities of my little B2301. Before I purchased the Titan 3 pt ballast box it could lift more than was safe to lift with my little 54" QA bucket. I had an auger hanging off the back and I was thinking that would give me enough weight on the rear to give me the stability...

    I had the dealer install them as part of the purchase. They are welded on. TREX

    Loaded tires vs. ballast box

    Let me start by apologizing for posting the same message over and over again in different threads. In my limited seat time, it is amazes me how heavy dirt is. Even a bucket of topsoil can make this little b series tippy when not on perfectly level ground. I didn't have the dealer add...

    MMM Front linkage hookup

    Kind of off topic, but just a word of caution. I thought that linkage bar looked perfect to pick the front of the mower deck up and drag it to another part of my garage. I must not have had the bar secured to the front of the mower deck, because after a couple of steps it popped free and...

    Questions, B2301 looking to buy

    This probably doesn't answer your question, but I can confirm that this QA pallet fork from titan attachments works great with my B2301. They usually have a 10-15% off coupon floating around which makes the cost pretty reasonable with free shipping. 36" Pallet Fork & Trailer Hitch Titan Skid...

    Pushing the limits of the B2601

    I have the B2301 and only have about 20 hours on it so far. I have mostly been regrading the drainage swale around my house and filling in a pit the builder randomly left behind. I think I will have about 20 yds of dirt in it before I get it to level. Anyway, I had my tractor teetering on...

    new b2301

    My garage door is 8'. I don't think it would fit under a 7' door. I'm getting better at judging the bucket angle. Thanks for the tip! Greased the loader for the first time. I got to use my lincoln pneumatic grease gun for the first time. It worked great! Ballast box has really...

    new b2301

    Just an update. The knob below the seat does indeed set the mower height and limits how low the mower will drop when lowering the 3 pt. receiver. So you can set the mower at max height and allows you to lower the the 3 pt without driving around dragging the mmm. I am sure most of you knew...

    new b2301

    I haven't tried to lock the deck in place. My understanding is there is a knob below the seat that controls the mower height. So if you have the knob in the full up position, it won't lower the deck when the 3pt is lowered. I could be wrong though.....I should read the manual one of these...

    new b2301

    Congrats on your new Kubota. I got the B2301 delivered at the end of January. I only have about 8 hours on it and have only used it for excavating so far. The Piranha bar has been a great addition. I have run out of power a few times in high traction conditions and stalled it once...

    RhinoHide Canopy

    Installed the RhinoHide Canopy on by B2301 this weekend. Getting everything to line up and be level was kind of a pita. I like the end result though. Nice and sturdy with support bars that go clear to the front of the canopy. Canopy can be removed with two threaded knobs which will come in...

    Tooth Bar attachment

    Just installed one on my B2301. Should have bought the BXpanded step drill bit for $12. Lowes gouged me for $45, but sometimes for convenience you just pony up. Hoping the mud has dried up a bit by this weekend so I can push around some dirt and test it out!

    Are they getting one over on me?

    Takota, 21K sounds like a great deal. Congrats! I just paid 19428 OTD for a B2301 with a 54"MMM and Land Pride P15 post hole digger with 9" auger. The Kubota dealer is 5 miles from my house, the JD dealer 20 miles, and that is about it for anything that is remotely convenient. Doesn't make...
