    Dealer Kudos

    If you live in or near Central or Eastern Maine and are in the market for ANYTHING by Kubota, you can't do better than Dorr's Equipment in Bangor, Maine. I bought a cabbed B2650 from them a year ago this April. This Spring, I noticed that the A/C wasn't working. I spoke to the Service...

    SSQA Manure Fork/Bucket

    Toying with the idea of getting a bucket with manure tines on it for handling/turning compost. It would be used on the LA534 loader on my B2650 Something like the Woods MF6000 (60") looks ideal but NOBODY posts prices on this stuff and I'm just ornery enough that I won't jump through the...

    Hydro Trans Control Question

    I love everything about my new Cabota except one thing: The treadle control for the trans. It's just clumsy for me and I really, REALLY prefer the two pedal version on my little JD lawn tractor. Neither approach to reverse is really comfortable: Sticking a toe under the forward part and...

    Finally! Got to play in the snow with my new rig.

    2015 B2650 and a Pronovost Puma 64" blower. Block heater is plugged into a wireless switched outlet that I can activate from the house 100-ish yards away. Get up, decide I need to blow snow, hit the switch and have breakfast and a coupla cups of coffee. :) The second picture shows the boat...

    Rear Work Light Connectors on B2650HSDC

    This is the connector for the rear work lights on the cab of my Kubota B2650. It's about 3/8" wide and 3/4" long. I want to mount a pair of 27 watt LED floods for blowing snow this winter. I don't want to go with the Kubota factory work lights because: 1. They're stupid expensive 2...

    Work Light Connectors

    Another project is rear worklights on my B2650 Cab. I want to go with LED rather than the factory incandescents. 2 questions: 1) I'm assuming this is the pre-wired work light connector? The other leads are for the hazard lights. 2) Source for the male portion of the connector? Again...

    12V connector in B2650 cab

    There is a 12V accessory connector behind the seat on the left side (as viewed sitting in the seat) of my B2650. It has two female spade connectors at right angles to each other in a plastic housing with a locking tab. At the moment, I'm using it by inserting two male spade connectors...

    Charming...

    Did a late season tilling job. As I pulled up, they were just finishing spreading fresh pig poop on the plot to be tilled. Fine, great fertilizer. Tilled it all up nice, went to load the tractor back on the trailer and noticed I had about 150 feet of lobster trap rope (aka "pot warp")...

    Simple, cheap and handy Pull Pin Solution

    The sway bars for the lower arms on the 3 point hitch on my B2650 use a pin with a hairpin clip on the bottom for the adjustment. The hairpin is tough to see and hard to handle with my arthritic old hands so I put a keychain ring on them to make them easier to get hold of. I was a little...

    Grille Guard

    The "grille guard" that came with the loader on my new B2650 is a joke. It might help if something fell straight down off the loader, but not much, and any sticks/twigs/brush would go through it at will. I learned my lesson on that with my old JD, and it's an expensive lesson to learn. So I...

    Twins!

    :D Lost a ewe this winter and things are thawed enough to bury her. Seeing as the old Woods hoe won't fit on my new Cabota, I had to borrow a buddy's Cat 416. In exchange, I get to figger out why the Cat ain't charging...

    Switching Outlet for block heater

    My new toy will live in the barn about 200 feet from the house. I'm looking for a way to control a single outlet so I can turn the block heater on from the house when I get up and have the tractor warmed up and ready to start when I need to blow snow. Most of the wirelessly controlled outlets...
