    SUDT for Canada

    I'm sure this has been talked about but couldn't locate the thread on this forum. Being that I'm in Canada I can only get UDT from Kubota. When I asked them about SUDT the dealer tells me its not sold in Canada due to the climate. What? So now Canada has no weather equivalent the the US. Not...

    3 point backhoe

    Don't want to get into any discussion on how a 3 point backhoe is dangerous or possibly breaking tractor. This post is for anyone who has doubts about getting one. Family neighbor has a backhoe that I used today for a simple sump pump trench. We hooked it up to the b2601, he has a Kioti CK25, so...

    LA434 loader freeplay

    Have a B2601 with the LA434 loader. While installing loader this weekend I noticed a lot of play in the upper loader boom. I'm assuming there should be very little slop if I move boom side to side with weight off pin. Asking before I remove loader to inspect. Always grease and just over 100...

    diesel oil

    During the winter I have been using 10w30 diesel and have never had an issue. What I'm finding is that 10w30 is getting more difficult to find. Or am I missing something when it talks about oil class for my B2601. Manual states "not to use CJ-4" and a lot of the oils I've been looking at have a...

    excess fuel additive

    This forum has been good at answering many of my Kubota questions and again asking for help. I sold my old bolens H1502 to a buddy and replaced it with a b2601. This is a question about adding too much conditioner to the diesel. Got a call today that he couldn't get the bolens started. I went...

    snowblower chute

    First winter with a front mount blower and as I've done before didn't adjust the skis up high enough. Grab a little too much gravel from the driveway and now the chute is blasted clean, as in no paint left. Not a big deal. When I put it away for the season I'll pressure wash and repaint any...

    electric actuator

    I've been blowing snow for 20+ years with a 3 point blower. Never bothered to change chute angle and always got the job done. Now using a front mount blower due to neck issues. Yes they are more expensive but wow what a difference in blowing snow. So I read a lot of posts about adding a linear...

    B2601 filter magnet ?

    Did the 50 hr service today and was looking at the hydro filters. Both the new and old filters have no magnet. Is this the norm? I thought all the original tractor painted filters had a magnet on the hydro filter.:confused:

    B2601 theft deterent

    Looked at the wiring diagram and was considering adding a toggle switch to the hst safety circuit. If the circuit is open then no power can reach the starter solenoid. I know it won't stop everyone but maybe one. Also adding tractor to my house insurance. Any thoughts?

    B2601 tie rod boot

    Was checking tractor yesterday and seems I tore one of the inner boots. Does anyone know of where to get a replacement boot only. Looks like Kubota only sells them with the inner tie rod.

    B2601 and BX2755HD

    Purchased a new snow blower and sub frame for the b2601. Assembled everything as per the instructions and for the sub frame the instructions were excellent. Except for maybe the pivot bolt. The instructions say to torque the two bolts to 440 ft lbs. Really? Who has a torque wrench that goes to...
