    poly edge for TSC rear blade?

    Not true - I cut a strip off a TSC stall mat about 8 inches high and I am on my third year, still using the same edge. It moves snow just fine and best of all, it acts like a squeegee and removes slush before it can freeze. It is the best and cheapest modification I have made for snow removal.

    Which linear actuator for snowblower chute mod?

    I bought this one: https://www.progressiveautomations.com/search?q=PA-04-6-100 It works great.

    ROPS Light Kit

    Yeah - I wouldn't pay that much for the lights but those brackets are nice and I would pay for a few of those if you sold them separately.

    Prices for tractors going up due to steel costs

    I stopped by my dealer this weekend to discuss buying a few things and he informed me that Kubota is soon going to increase prices of new tractors by as much as 11% due to the rising cost of steel -- mostly on account of tariffs.

    Pressure washed b2650, now she dead!

    The terrible design of the B2650 hydro pedal safety switch gets another victim. Dammit Kubota - fix this!

    Removing radiator drain plug on B2650

    I can't tell from the pictures... are those threads pitched like a screw or are they stacked? What I mean is - does the plug thread on by twisting or do those threads act more like a seal?

    Removing radiator drain plug on B2650

    I tried using a long slotted screwdriver from the side but the plug just bends without turning. I guess I should go buy some JIS bits and try those.

    Removing radiator drain plug on B2650

    I am trying to drain the coolant from a B2650 but I cannot get the drain plug out. Page 81 of the manual just says "remove the radiator drain plug" but there is no explanation of how to remove it. The plug has a head on it that looks like it should fit a #3 phillips but it is made of soft...

    Piranha tooth bar vs. Palm tree

    I push pines over all the time with my bucket raised up to get leverage. Then I put the PTB under the tree and pick it up, root ball and all.

    Kubota filters

    As others have said, they paint after the filters are installed. The OEM replacement filters are white and have the part numbers visible. Just go to a dealer to get the numbers and order them on Amazon. At least for me, that beats dealer pricing by a fair amount.

    B2650 Finalizing Build

    One more note. I have turfs on my 2650 and wish that I had gone with R4s. I hardly drive it on the "nice" part of my lawn and often lose traction when digging and driving into very heavy materials.

    B2650 Finalizing Build

    That is a solid build. I'll pass on the TnT kit question. For the quick hitch, I don't think you can go wrong with Landpride. Just make sure you look for implements that are compatible with it. I have several LP attachments and am very happy with them. Definitely get the tooth bar. I have...

    B2650 hydro pedal creeps out of neutral

    This is an often reported problem with the B2650 pedal. I have had the tractor stall on me when I dismount because the pedal was slightly off center and even have had to rock it back and forth to restart because it would not sit dead center to actuate the safety switch. The only fix I could...

    removing dash on b2650

    Do you want to remove the dash completely? If so, you have to unbolt it from the sides (2 on each side if I remember correctly), unscrew the philips head screw above the display, remove the steering wheel. Then you have to gently lift the dash and disconnect the ignition switch and display...

    Tapping into the fuse box?

    This is what I did too. To make the aux fuse panel hot only when the tractor is on, I used an add-a-circuit run from a fuse on my main box that is hot only when the tractor is on. That runs to the relay to switch it on and bring power to the aux box when the ignition is on.
