    Kubota B2601

    I also have a 2020 b2601 with toothbar and backhoe, similar hours. Dealer said it was worth about what I paid for it before taxes.

    B2601 Ready for delivery!

    I also have the B2601 with a backhoe that I bought late in 2020. A nice grease gun is very valuable as the backhoe has a bunch of zerks. I watched youtube on "my cluttered garage" and he did a very good job of showing how to the 50 hour maintenance, though I did spill a lot more hydro fluid...

    Just got price of l2501

    I also live in northern California and I purchased a new b2601, loader with quick attach and R14 tires and a backhoe for about $25,000 not including tax in Sept of 2020. That was below build your own pricing on the internet at the time. I know a L2501 is more expensive but unless pricing has...

    B2601 review and thoughts

    Took a little long for me to reply but personally I wouldn't have loaded tires especially if mowing was my primary use. I don't mow with mine but yes a bit less air would help. You probably have worked out a partial solution by now or are getting used to it?

    B2601 review and thoughts

    I bought my new B2601 with a backhoe in Sept of 2020 and of course had to wait 1 month for the tractor and an extra month for the backhoe. I went round and round on what size to buy between the new Lx 2610SU and the B2601. I only have 2.5 acres, half of that is very manicured and half is with...

    B2601 - So far So good

    Do you mean the guard or just the filter. If your talking filter I bought my filter from Amazon since I broke it on a Saturday and I didn't know if Kubota had them in stock which they did and half the price. It is a Kubota brand either way though Amazon does sell knock off's.

    B2601 - So far So good

    I bought the same tractor last September and have been very happy with it. I also got a backhoe for it, though I can't really couldn't justify the price I really use it quite a bit. My only damage so far is breaking the fuel filter with a piece of pvc sticking out of the ground. So I might...

    First tractor purchase - tire selection

    I bought a b2601 about 5 months ago. The R14's seem pretty good on the grass, though it would be smart to keep it out of 4wd while mowing a nice lawn. The B2601 comes with a a swiftach which allows you to remove the loader pretty quickly and that would eliminate a lot of weight for the lawn...

    Went shopping today for a new B2601HSD

    I bought the b2601 with tlb about 5 months ago. I was driving myself insane between what I got and the lx 2610 Su. There was only about a $1,000. price on the tractor and a bit more for the loader and backhoe. They didn't have much of a rebate on the Lx at the time of my purchase which helped...

    B2601 Treadle Pedal hard to use

    I received a B2601 in September and I also am not happy with the treadle especially the reverse pressure part. I would say it's the biggest negative of my tractor so I kinda have to take that complaint with a grain of salt. I will be interested in hearing if anyone solves the issue.

    Wait times on LX2610HSDC?

    I'm in Northern California and I ordered a b2601 TLB in late June. The tractor showed up about early August but had to wait an additional 2 weeks for the loader to show up. They delivered the tractor and loader and loaned me a box scrapper about 5 weeks ago and hopefully the backhoe is...

    New B2601 or add Woods accessories to B2400

    Thanks, Looks like they were all greased but maybe I'll add some more grease.

    New B2601 or add Woods accessories to B2400

    I just got a new b2601 and I noticed that it squeaked up front by the loader a couple of times out of many when I was doing some loader work. The hydraulic arms seemed really hot too. I used to have an old b1550 that I don't ever remember that happening to. Any thoughts if this is normal?
