    Diesel

    So which kinds of Power Service do you use summer and winter, seems like they have quite a few choices and I know nothing about them?

    Upgrading from a Shovel and WheelBarrow to a B2650

    I went a similar route as you; B2650HSDC, FEL and snow blade. Probably the same reason also, tired of gearing up just to plow. The cab should be great, already have used the AC, radio has to be loud to be heard above the tranny whine. Have you had any issues with adapting old implements and...

    Diesel

    New to diesel engines so I am trying to figure out the best route to take. I just got my B2650HSDC, it had a full tank of fuel and I have put about 10 hours on it so far. A neighbor has several diesel machines and he, along with the tech that delivered my Kubota, suggested putting treatment in...

    New B2650 and Old Implements

    Since the B2650 only has a 30" spread on the lift arms I had to reverse the pins of my back blade and brush hog. On the blade I had to cut out 6" gaps on each side of a steel lip so the lift arms would function properly, all good now after figuring it out. My question is if anyone else has had...

    Buying online?

    I looked at Kubotas for quite a while and decided to buy but I took my time. Living in such a rural area we only have one dealer within a couple of hundred mile radius so if you need service you only have one choice. Luckily our dealer has a good reputation and I had visited them a few times...

    New to Kubota

    So now I am into "fitting" my existing implements to the tractor. Turns out I have to reverse the pins since the lift arms only spread to about 30". One blade has a heavy metal collar that would be impossible to alter so it is no good to me and will be sold with one of my 8Ns. The other blade...

    b2650 Too much tractor for my needs?

    I just bought a B2650HSDC, hydro and cab. The cab is a quality integrate and does not look like it will have the issues of an aftermarket. I am in Wyoming and this past winter pushed me to replace my 8Ns and a cab was one have to have pieces. The cab has heat and AC and even a radio plus I added...

    How do I know which attachments fit a B2650?

    Turns out there is no magic button to expand the spread of the lift arms. The solution is to reverse the pins on the implement, works on one blade and mower but not on another blade because there is a thick metal collar covering the inside of the pin. Seems kind of strange that the lift arms are...

    New to Kubota

    Truthfully it is just to satisfy the financing requirement so the cheaper the better. I guess I am a gambler and would not have insurance on most anything unless required by law or to keep the wife comfortable, but that is just me and would not presume to know anyone else's situation.

    He said he forgot them and is getting a set. Should be an easy field installation since they have the wiring in place already. Don't know how much I will need them but like to get what I was quoted and paid for.

    How do I know which attachments fit a B2650?

    I am having issues with my 3 point implements fitting my B2650. I have two blades, one a Rhino and the other who knows just an older blade that I used with my 8Ns. I want to keep the Rhino because it has a lot of adjustments and is a heavy duty blade. Pins on both blades are about 33" pin to pin...

    New to Kubota

    I took advantage of the Kubota no interest for 5 years, actually it was .07% for some reason that the salesman could not explain. Doing this requires insurance on the unit. Kubota's was $38 per month and I along with the salesman thought that was kind of high, adds just under 10% to the sales...

    New to Kubota

    Have not done any work with it yet, wanted the wife to see it unscathed before getting it dirty. Last night we were looking at lights, signals, etc. Salesman told me it would have rear work lights, not a high priority but he insisted they were part of the rear defogger package. They are missing...

    New to Kubota

    I just bought a B2650HSDC replacing my 2 8Ns that have served me well over the last 30 years. Just wanted to see if anybody had any tips for a newbie to Kubota and diesel engines, first diesel I have owned. Initial reaction is that the hydro tranny is loud at lower rpms similar to my Husqvarna...
