Thought I would take a minute and share how good these Kubota tractors are. I have put more than 2100 hrs on my tractor. The old timers on here will know I am a retired heavy eqiupment operator and to share with the new people on this site. Bought my tractor new in spring of 2015 with loader and...

I am kind of taking off from Sheepfarmers post a little while back A couple months ago I was having trouble uploading pics to a new thread like so many other people are having. It has been the same for me as I had no problem loading pics for years, and now it is a struggle for sure. I resized...

I finally got my tilt cylinder fabbed up for my B2650. I bought it new from Surplus Center when I got my top cylinder and been laying around for a year. Pretty busy here!! I bought the cylinder the correct diameter and length, knowing I would have to cut the ends off and fab some new ones to fit...

I ended up working for my Kubota dealer full time again this spring. I finally had to quit so I could get back to being retired and take care off my stuff and have some fun. A week later the owner of the constuction company I used to operate heavy equipment for asked if i would run a dozer for...

For those of you that know me, and the new people that dont, I have been around all types of equipment for 40 plus years. With that being the case, at some point every piece of equipment will have a problem, whether it is mechanical, or electrical, or something else. I was out mowing out back...

Well the weatherman finally got it right! Forcasted 8-13", and we got 14"s with some 3ft drifts with all of the wind we had also. I live in the snow belt here in NE Ohio, but this was a everybody gets event. Surely needed the Kubota to dig out from this one! Also helped out several of the...

I bought a 48" King Kutter brush hog from my neighbor last fall for almost nothing, and this was my winter time project. Finally getting it done and posting it. It was pretty beat up and the back panel was almost hitting the blades. I hooked it up and ran it last fall to make sure the gear box...

I have mentioned before that I have become very good friends with the owner of my Kubota dealership. I am retired and have helped alot with various projects like doing the site work for a new storage building and regrading his parking lot. He has been so busy with the dealership moving orange...

A while back I posted some pics of my tool - chain box I fabbed up that mounts in the existing holes on the loader frame. Recently I had a guy PM me about making a set, left and right for his new B2650 he had on order. His new B2650 is actually set up exactly like Larrys with back hoe and...

I have been wanting a rear view mirror for my tractor. Looking at what most people did, the most common place to mount one on a rops machine if the front loader frame, which is a good place except when you take the loader off, you loose your mirror. I use mine quiet a bit with out it mowing and...

Looking to make a diy fume extractor for my shop to work in it during the winters here in NE Ohio with the doors closed and heat on. Just doing small welding projects with a mig welder, no flux core and paint these items. I am talking like one foot or 18" stuff. Looked on You Tube and got some...

A while back I added a bolt on cutting edge to my B2650 60" bucket which has really worked out well. Adding the 5/8" cutting edge really made the bucket sit at angle when at rest or taking the loader on or off. I had always planned on welding on some wear plates for the bucket and they would...

When I helped my Kubota dealer doing the site work for his new building, we traded out the work as I stated in my post on doing the site work. Adding dual rear remotes and running lines up to the front bucket with quick couplers to run off one of the remotes as well was always my plan. I just...

Since buying my B2650 a couple years ago, I have become very good friends with the owner of my Kubota dealership. My wife and I ride our Harley with him and his wife, and I have worked on his Harley for him also. He is putting up a 100ft x 40ft storage building to put the new Kubota equipment...

I see there has been a couple of posts asking how people are making there implement dollys, so I though I would share mine. In the spring I bought a 20 ft shipping container to store my implements in which I finally got all repainted. What a job that was!! I bought furniture dollys like most...

A while back I bought a 20ft shipping container to store all of my implements in as I was out of room in my garage. I cant stand to have all of the orange sitting out side rusting away with the cost of them. Got a great buy on it,but the paint scheme didnt go with my house. So I took my angle...

I had been looking for quite some time for some SSQA pallet forks for my B2650 to shuffle implements in and out of my shipping container. Just really didnt want to spent 5-7 hundred dollars on a pair. I finally found a pair of 48" pallet forks down the road for $100.00. Price was right. They...

A few months back I made up a hydraulic pressure gauge set up to check the pressure on my B2650. There was not any issues, I just wanted to know. It was 200 psi low from the max of 2400- 2450 psi. I decided to shim the relief valve to get it right close to the max because that is just the way I...

After buying a 5/16 grade 43 chain that was 12ft long that I cut in half to have two 6 footers with hooks to add to my collection, there is no where to keep them on my B2650 to lift or rig things when you need to. I decided I needed to fab a heavy duty tool box to mount to the tractor to store...

I knew when the welded on cutting edge on my B2650 wore I was going to replace it with a much better and stronger bolt on type due to the fact I was in the business and knew it was the way to go. I did not think it would be in one year. I do snow plow my drive and several others that are paved...
