I’m looking for the best aggressive tread design for my B26. The tires I have on it are the original equipment tires, and just don't have the bite. The rears are great, no issue with them. I keep the bucket heavy , filled with gravel, while using rippers but get front wheel spin continuously...

You can’t beat that 5.9 L Cummins VP44 engine. My 02 F650 just passed 450,000 miles, zero issues since new. I have a flat bed installed and mounts for either 5th wheel or Gooseneck. Here in Calif there is a threat that new emission laws will make the non DEF rigs declined for registration. I’d...

Don’t feel to bad, this is the number one obstacle for flail mowers. I recently bought 25 acres, wonderful agent failed to mention it was previously a pot farm. The growers left vinyl tubing at ground level, along with chicken wire every where. The 6 to 18” weeds hide it, impossible to see...

Try Coleman Equipment. Kit kit B3941.. https://www.colemanequip.com/parts/details/KubotaParts/Kubota-3-Point-Hitch-Kit/B3941/

It’s been a couple of years since my original post, but just in case someone has the same need as I did, I ended up buying the kit from Coleman Equipment online, kit # kit B3941.. Kit plus shipping was $532.00. Kubota Whole Goods quoted $1209. Same exact kit.

Bought my ‘19 B26 with the backhoe but lacks a three point hitch. Besides buying the assembly part by agonizing part from dealer, does anybody have a source for a complete package? ive been looking for over a month, whats out there won’t work. Have an immediate need. thanks … kurtlshaul...

For my equipment I’ve done two things on the loaders. I installed a locking fuel valve, once locked in shut off, no engine start. Second, I installed a lock ar on the loader handle. Once parked the bucket is all the way down where you can’t really pull the tractor nor can you load it. Fuel...

To avoid the high summer temperatures, I often start my tractor work before the sun rises. Therefore I need lights forward and aft. I found that the OEM Kubota work lights were useless for my use. I ordered two 75 watt LED light bars from Amazon, $50. Rather than deal with the installed, light...

On topic, just an observation. As popular as the B26 is and coupled with the extraordinary utility and strength of the BT820 backhoe I am amazed at the total absence of add ons. From thumbs to buckets. Why a company like BXpanded doesn’t roll out the simplest of attachments for it, such as a...

Apple.and it’s annoying word replacement. I really got a reaction when I posted, “ I ate my Case backhoe”, vessus “ I hate my Case backhoe”

Agree, my soul is mostly a volcanic sand mixed with a red clay. Smaller buckets used in the past with my previous Case empty without clogging.

Two pin. Messicks told me none of theirs would work.

A ripper is currently what I really need for my 820. Where did you get yours? I’ve scoured the internet with zero results. I found a couple of cheap Chinese imports on EBay, but materials are crap and feedback says they break easily.

My previous 4701 had the exact problem you describe. Only did it when hot. It turned out to be the PCM. The PCM was falsely detecting a issue with the engine. It turned out to be a bad ground. Dealer wanted to change out the unit, but that wasnt the issue. It was a connection for ground. Can you...

I’m looking for help in locating different size buckets, 6”.. 8” … 12” for my BT820 backhoe. Of special need would be a ripper attachment. I had tried to order from BXpanded but theirs will not fit. As for buckets, I have scoured the internet without luck. I bought my tractor with the 16”...
