    Any LX2610 or B2650 owners?

    I ended up buying one. Just rolled over 50 hours. I haven't noticed any major jerking issues. It can be slightly lurchy at low RPM. It hasn't caused me any issues. The loader sways some, which isnt confidence inspiring, but I have moved a few hundred yards of various materials, and done some...

    R14 vs .....

    I only ever saw my R4 do any damage when the ground was soft. I expect either will tattoo the earth in that case. For a few reasons I stuck with the R4. My dealer had a set of the larger R4 on hand. I have hills and the R14 is reported to have a mushier sidewall and bounce. Both have sharp...

    R14 vs .....

    I just sold my B7610 with R4 tires. Buying an LX2610su. Tires speced by Kubota are as follows: Front tires - 25x8.50-14 R4 Rear tires - 15-19.5 R4

    R14 vs .....

    I think I am staying with R4. The R14 look nice, but the only advantage I can see is that they shed mud better from all accounts, and traction might be better. The R4 have been reported to feel more stable on slopes due to stiffer sidewall and less bounce. Also they appear to have more surface...

    R14 vs .....

    I have read complaints on bounce as well. My R4 would beat you to death, if the terrain was bumpy and I tried for any speed. I don't know if bounce could be a pro to some or not. I filled the tread on my R4 a number of times, but they cleaned themselves once mud dried. I have read the R14 shed...

    R14 vs .....

    I know this has probably been beat to death. I am working with my dealer on a LX2610su. I'm torn between R4 and R14. If there was a more aggressive turf option, I would probably chose it. I follow some orange FB groups and I see hundreds of people people recommending the R14 tires as easier on...

    Test driving

    How much variation in hst noise did you notice? I have actually heard more complaints about noise on the 2650/LX

    Test driving

    Every dealer around here has the popular tractors sold before they even arrive. I guess if I had paid for a tractor, waited a number of months, and then the dealer was letting other people drive it around the lot, it would bug me. It appears though that it works that way.

    Test driving

    Emailed the dealer and was told they would work on uncrating one to test drive. Turns out it wasn't an issue.

    Test driving

    I have prices from 3 dealers, and my dealer 20 minutes from me actually has the best price. He just cant offer me a test drive since he doesn't have a machine. I guess I'm mostly just curious if dealers demo the actual machines that are for sale, or if they usually have demo units?

    Test driving

    How does test driving work? Do dealers usually have demo machines, or do the machines sitting on the lot for purchase get driven? I'm interested I an LX2610, but last time I was at my dealer, every one has been pre sold before the dealer even had them in hand. The only one he could show me was...

    That does look like a trivial amount of restriction.

    Any LX2610 or B2650 owners?

    Ok. If I can tap power only energized when the tractor is running, I'll skip the power switch. On vehicles, I can generally find a power source within a few minutes of poking around with a meter. Maybe even directly off the ignition switch. Your switch does look clean though.

    Just making sure I understand. The solenoid wouldn't be energized unless a button is pressed either way. If nothing is connected to the quick connects, and a button is pressed, what happens? I assume the lines past the solenoid could pressurize and that's all?

    Any LX2610 or B2650 owners?

    Thanks. Seeing pros and cons to each of the different kits. Maybe I'll just install it myself. I'm pretty particular. Why are people putting power switches? Is there not places to tap hot from that is only energized when the tractor is running? Or is the switch to keep the solenoid open for...
