    PFL1242 vs. PFL2042 for a Kubota L2501 Tractor

    I have the 2042 forks for my LX2610. First of all, best purchase so far. I’m really happy with mine and use them for so many different things. I thought the same thing about the 1242, given my capacity, but was told to buy forks around double the lift the capacity. I’m not sure about all the...

    Waiting for my new tractor...

    It’s not the size that matters, it’s what you can do with what you got. 😂 I may have a slightly bigger tractor, but I feel very inadequate at operating it.

    Hydro fluid leak?

    I had a leak on my new LX as well. It was one of the backhoe fittings. I could barely get a wrench in there, but about an 1/8th of a turn did the trick. It felt “tight” to begin with, but needed just a bit more apparently. Went from a concerning steady drip to dry as a bone. Go easy with...

    LX2610 swivel seat

    Just wanted to post an update to close the loop. Dealer installed the cab subframe kit (same price as ROPS kit) but did not install the cab spacers. This is the only way to go in my mind on the LX w/BH. Both seats fit without even having to fold one up, assuming you’re not over six feet tall...

    Waiting for my new tractor...

    Congrats on the new toy! Just got my LX2610 delivered to its new home on Wednesday. It definitely brought out the inner child in me.

    LA535 Loader 54 vs 60" Bucket

    That link is really informative. Just confirmed mine will have the B2371. Many thanks!

    LA535 Loader 54 vs 60" Bucket

    I’m curious as to why you received the old style on your LX and how one can tell the difference. I’m very close to receiving mine and want to ensure it’s the new bucket that can accept the hooks. Thanks.

    LA535 Loader 54 vs 60" Bucket

    This is almost exactly what I will have to do with my LX, 54” bucket and box blade. Did you have a tooth bar or cutting edge on your bucket? I figure I may have to break into it with the BH first (mine is a full slope of about 2 ft over a similar distance) but soil conditions will dictate what...

    LA535 Loader 54 vs 60" Bucket

    I had the same dilemma and went with the 54” mainly to get material out of a landscape trailer. Downside is my tires are a couple inches wider than the bucket. Looks like weight diff is 29 lbs. Hope the attached helps or link to other loader manuals: Kubotabooks.com

    Went shopping today for a new B2601HSD

    I know exactly how you feel. I flip flopped a few times and drove the salesperson crazy. Dealer had 6 LX’s on the lot, all spoken for, but one left at another location. For me, I’m certain the LX is more tractor than I need and that the B would have suited my needs perfectly. However, I just...

    LX2610 swivel seat

    Hi Jim, I realize this is several months old but just purchased an LX2610 ROPS myself. I asked my dealer to do the same about the seat but not something they have ever done before. Do you know which parts you had to purchase or is there a seat "kit"? I'm not sure if the seat comes with the...

    Went shopping today for a new B2601HSD

    Congrats! I just bought one as well (my first). I too was torn between the B2601 and LX2610, but the LX seemed so much more refined and responsive. I love the size of the B2601 but felt like I had to stomp the treadle to get it going. On the LX, I can just lift up the treadle with my toes to...
