    Discovered something while mowing.

    My property is about 1.5 acres. I use my B2601 with the 54 inch MMM as my lawn mower. Today I decided to try mowing with the engine rpm at 2400 instead of the 2800 rpms (540 pto rpms) I discovered that it mows the Johnson grass a lot better. At 2800 rpms it would miss some of the stalks...

    Rear discharge MMM for tractors.

    I was on another tractor forum and the question was asked why manufactures don't offer rear discharge MMM on their tractors. It would be nice to be able to mow on windy days and not have dust, grass clippings and grit blow back in your face. Someone here with Kubota's ear should tell to...

    Are dealers that busy? Update.

    2 different dealerships (same company) in my area have unsold inventory of 434 loaders. I went on both of their websites and filled out a card with my information requesting a package price for the loader quick attach and bucket. I'm ready to write the check. 2 days later, no one has reached...

    Local dealer has unsold old stock LA 434 loaders.

    I couldn't see paying 4K when I bought my 2601 so I didn't buy one. . . He has them listed at $1995-$1999 sitting on the shipping crate. That price is for the loader assembly only. No bucket or quick attach. When you add the cost of a quick attach and a bucket then installing everything your...

    Lessons learned doing the 50 hr service.

    1: Make sure the old o-ring comes off with the old filter before putting on the new filter and filling it with fresh oil. Otherwise, you will have to remove the new oil filter in order to remove it, wasting the fresh oil. 🙄🙄 2: Wear gloves so that the new filter doesn't slip out of your hand...

    Do they really charge that much?

    I called my local dealer and informed them I had a B2601 and needed a 50 hr service and asked for the cost. Service person replied $600-700 dollars.o_Oo_O I said, "Wow, I had no idea it would cost that much." She laughed and said, "Yep, we hear that a lot." I was trying to save myself...

    B2601 54 inch MMM chute blocker

    It's leaves on the ground season. Since Kubota doesn't offer a mulching kit for the B series MMM, I am considering blocking the discharge chute in an attempt to mulch up the leaves rather than just blow them around the property. Has anyone done this with any success? Or would it be a...

    42 lb suitcase weights on B2601

    Has anyone put the JD 42lb suitcase weights on the front of their b2601? I'm one of the few people without a front end loader and with a heavy load on my carry all the front seems light. I have the opportunity to buy 3. But before I do, I want to be sure they will just drop in place on the...

    Removing the horizontal spring on B2601 HSD

    The tractor is 9 days old. I absolutely love it. Except for the reverse pedal. After 3 hours of mowing on it I am now having Achille's tendon pain on my right leg. For those who have removed the horizontal spring, have you had any issues afterward? I hate to start messing around with a...

    B2601 54 inch deck mulching kit?

    I tried to purchase a mulching kit for the 54 inch deck on my 2601. The dealer said they weren't available. I find that a little hard to believe. I had one on my 1025R deck and it was awesome. Especially in the fall when I had leaves everywhere. Do they make them for my mower? If so...

    Just a quick hello to everyone. I just returned from my local Kubota dealership where I traded in my JD1025R for a B2601. I wasn't holding out much hope that he would have everything, but he did. Not only did he have two 2601's in stock, but he also had a 54" MMM for it. The sales...
