My wife can drive my B2601 around the yard but it’s tricky for her.. for mowing the BX would be far more manageable and just as effective. Instead of a ballast box I’d look into picking up a box blade, helpful with grading and really useful to have especially if you want to smooth out all the...

If you’re interested in removing the backhoe then your 3 point hitch set up is great, back in under the trailer, lift and away you go.. I leave this on my 3 point most of the time...

Do you have a fork lift for your FEL? Just drill a hole through one of the forks and put trailer balls on there. You could do it with a bucket too but wouldn't be able to see too well.

I just bought a house with a 30’ by 60’ barn (previous owner car collector) and i never thought I would need more space. Six months later I wish it was 40’ by 80’.... Go big if you’ve got the space.

I really like my B2601 with turf tires, feels like a real tractor but i have a 60" mid mount mower and it makes quick work of mowing my lawn. My dealer said they sell 10 BX for every B series and that seemed surprising.. It's a really capable tractor for what seemed like a small premium in cost...

I use a BB1260 Box scraper from land pride and a 60” bucket on my B2601.. its a little tricky to get the hang of it and keep things smooth but should be all you need. Moves a lot of dirt and allows easy distribution, but it will take time.

I ordered two parts from Messicks (FEL stands) and one was raw metal and one was orange.. They shipped a can of paint but hard to get the match right. Sort of annoying two of the same things were different. I would try a high grit wet sanding, like 220 then wash thoroughly and put a few coats...

I picked up a 63” snowblower for my B2601 and have a box blade (BB1260) that will be good for evening the weight, as well as pulling snow from close to garage doors etc if I pull up the scarifiers. Mostly it’s used as a box blade to level driveways but should work well without needing a snow...

MB Tractors in Plaistow NH had good pricing on tractors and an easy trip in my enclosed car carrier. They did not have the best pricing on attachments. Norfolk Power which is the closest to me did have great pricing on the attachments. I am curious to see reviews of their service departments but...

quotes for tractors and attachments are all over. Some dealers are below Kubota's website and some are above.. Generally when getting quotes I found some dealers gave a rebate (and sometimes that included a $700 rebate from Kubota, or that was separate). Takes a bit of time to consider closest...

Happy with the 2601? Does it feel a bit large for mowing? I am probably a month away from ordering one with a 60" deck, also considering the 2301 but I suspect the power is nice for mowing quickly and snowblower with heavier snow. (I am in massachusetts) I occasionally lift some floating docks...
