Thanks! I think I'll take to the non-synchro gearbox pretty quickly but we'll see. HST seems like it'd be so boring to operate. I bought a new Dodge/Cummins p/u once w/an auto and sold it w/in a year. I've had 3 Dodge/Cummins & a Ford/7.3 w/manual & prefer it. I realize a non-synchro is a...

Thanks for all your input! On the ball mounts, I was going off of what Neil Messick said on his B2401 vid. Didn't make much sense to me that Kubota would choose that as the place to shave a few $. There's very little info out there on this model. The cruise & tilt aren't of much concern. I can...

I certainly will! It'll be my 1st tractor. I've wanted one my whole life and am super excited. Will be getting the FEL & BH. Was considering a 2025R but IMHO, the big overall difference is that in this frame size, the B01's have so many more "real tractor" features whereas the 2025R has more...

Thanks - I've only ever seen one 1 ea. B2301/B2601 on a dealer lot but I wonder if the fender from a B2601 could be installed on a B2401. I'd rather have the factory setup if possible but will live w/it it it can't be assuming once I get to test out ea. that I go w/the B2401. I think personally...

Thanks! I admittedly don't know a lot yet with respect to tractors but seems to me that what you're showing would be for a power beyond circuit to run a BH or other implement w/it's own controls. I was wondering if the reason they weren't offered was because the 2401's gearshift lever is where...

Are optional factory rear SCVs not available on the B2401? I see they are on the B23/2601 but Kubota's "build your own" doesn't show them for the B2401 which I'm hoping isn't correct. Have you put them on your tractor yet?

While I have zero practical experience (yet), I was already questioning the practicality of a MMM to reach many areas of my yard because of the fences, trees, & other obstacles not to mention dreading having to take it on and off regularly being one of the "features" that I'd decided I was going...

At least a "ROPS DOWN" warning light on the dash, lol. Kinda like the seat belt warning light in a car. A little pic of the operator getting crushed. I guess we shouldn't be giving them any ideas.

I was wondering if there was any overlap in the gears and it looks like there is w/H1 (7) falling in between M2 (5)& M3 (6). I thought R1 was even lower than L1 but apparently not. Either way, I think both are slow enough for any precision work. I've thought about transfer tank but that'll...

I have considered that - my son is 14 & daughter 13. I've also considered that w/a gear drive it's very easy to say no if someone were to want to borrow it - Not that I'd let them if it were an HST but wtthe gear drive it's just not an issue. TTWT is good about letting others operate his...

Kubota sponsors NCHA & although it doesn't seem limited to that organization, it's the only one called out specifically from Kubota as eligible (https://www.kubotausa.com/equine-offer). It appears one can join as a beginner for free but worst case looks like $80. Their site isn't exactly clear...

This is excellent information & exactly what I'd suspected but needed to hear! Thank you so much! Between you, @El Jefe, & Ryan Lynch on YT, I'm pretty much sold. Changing to low to go into a pile is exactly what I'd figured on & you'd have to that w/an HST. Again, thank you so much for this...

Thanks - I don't even have an acre to mow & it's not that nice. I'm thinking 54" MMM although the difference bet. that and a 60" seems negligible. Honestly for my property a B01 is arguably too big but I want something slightly larger than a 1025R, which is already larger than a BX and I really...

Good points - Thanks! I'm torn on the tire fill & wheel weights but plan on a ballast box or hanging weights on the quick hitch (the idea of using the ballast box for tools is good). Will read the thread on rear ballast. I know it's important & definitely want to unload the front axle as much as...

Seems both would be in order. I would hope Kubota's engineers designed that front axle to take the use/abuse you described but... Being new here, do you know if there are known B01 front axle issues (I can search if not)?
