I've been following your posts about your tractor search. Congratulations on the B2601! I agree that the rear remotes for the TnT are nice but not a must have. The 3rd function however for me is a must have for a grapple or a 4n1 bucket. If by the time I am ready to pull the trigger on one and...

Those with the B2601- what are your likes and dislikes about it? DO you have the Kubota 3rd function and/or rear remotes and if so which valves do you have? Has anyone used a 4n1 bucket with it?

I believe here in my market area #3 is probably going to be one of the biggest deciding factors. I have 4 dealers within 50 miles of me and currently only one has the B2601 in inventory. None have the B2301.

I considered the backhoe attachment for a little bit but realized I wouldn't be using it near as much as the FEL. My brother-in-law who lives across the road has a Bobcat mini X if I need any holes dug. My main use would be garden plot prep, trail maintenance and light field mowing, about 3-4 acres.

The B2301 is just slightly smaller in all dimensions. Not enough physically to matter much to me. FEL and 3pt hitch capacities are the same. 2 hp difference in pto output. My question is that is the 2hp pto hp increase/ 3.4 engine hp increase and 60 lbs weight difference justify the extra $1500...

I am in the early stages of looking for a replacement for my growing obsolete grey market ZL1500. I was originally looking at a green tractor but after visiting my local Kubota dealer for an oil filter for the ZL, I took a look at a B2601 they had on the lot. I really like the idea of having a 3...

Yep. Easiest fix is to replace the whole gearbox assembly. Be sure to get a good one though. I made the mistake of buying a cheap Pakistani or Indian made one that the worm gear shattered like glass on after very little use. You can rebuild it but it is very tedious with the little ball bearings...

Thanks for the info!

I'm looking at long term. Eventually these will disappear as well.

Went to buy a new oil filter for my little Zen Noh zl1500 and found out the filters have been discontinued. Has anyone ever adapted theirs to use a regular spin on type filter? If so where did you get the parts to do so?

Looking for a 3pt Hitch speed control valve for my new to me ZL1500. Apparently one of the previous owners kicked the knob one too many times and broke the shaft off as it sits right under the front of the seat somewhat in the way.

Newbie to the Orange Tractor family. Just picked up a ZL1500 on a trade along with a 16ft trailer, finishing mower, brush cutter, disk, and boxblade-all 4ft. The previous owner didn't know the clutch(original I believe) was on it's last leg. After about 4 hours work and $300 in parts I am now in...
