    digging a level base with a FEL

    I've gotten a rear blade from a friend and the B2601 has pretty good height control on the 3 points so i think i'll use that to level more. To earlier question the area is 12x27 that i'm grading (but its under a shed roof so i have to be careful about the edges, one side is the garage, the...

    B2601 but what implements and attachments?

    Weird your dealer wouldn't sell you Kubota forks - I bought mine with the tractor no problem - even got them financed by Kubota Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    first impression: my new 2601

    I have a 2601 and love it! But it took me a couple tries to get it into float too. Just whack it forward and it'll go. After spending a day moving snow float was a lot easier Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    I tried float a number of times but it tended to dig in - I suppose my gravel isn't completely level Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    3 hours of moving snow with the loader... (video here) This was the very first time i'd used the loader with snow and it was kinda heavy and wet so i was learning how to do it. (esp on gravel, this is fairly challenging).

    BX2670 mower

    The mower level is set by the dial under the seat but the 3 point level control also raises it. I think I'd take the 3 point attachment off before mowing though Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    Is this normal

    I have a new b2601 which is quite similar engine and had no trouble cutting tall grass in medium right off the truck. I was running with the throttle set at the pro mark. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    New to the Orange Club

    I got my b2601 yesterday! Fun. Already discovered the annoying engine cutoff if you stand up while using the pallet forks... Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

    72 inch rake on a a B2601?

    So I'm looking for a landscape rake for the B2601 tractor. Dealer has a the Landpride 72" rake in stock. The 60" is almost the same price, my question is: - is the 72inch too much rake for that tractor? My other attachements are all 54" btw but a rake is one thing where i could probably get...

    R4 vs R1 on B2601

    So i think i'm making the right call here but i'd like some advice. I'm getting a B2601 as my first tractor to do a bit of lawn work (about 1-1.5 acres of actual "grass") and mostly clearing work on the balance of the 5 acres. (Pine forest mostly), and a little gravel driveway...

    B2601 w/R4s for Brush Cutting

    I'm making this call right now on the B2601 i'm ordering. The sales person i just talking to says that the Ags are 49 inches and the R4s would be a couple inches more. (of course he was reading off a spec sheet and you're looking at a real tractor). Anyway the reason i wanted to know is i've...
