    B2601 Skid Plate

    Hi All, Does anyone know of a company that makes skid plates for the B2601? I've seen several that make them for the BX series, but can't find anything for the B2601. Working in the woods, I punctured the main hydraulic filter and would rather not go through that drama again. Thank you

    B2601 Wet Exhaust on Cold Start-up

    Hi all, I have a 2017 B2601 with 300 hours on it. I've recently noticed that when I go to start it up at the beginning of the day, the exhaust is blowing out drops of soot-soaked liquid. I don't know if it's oil or un-burned fuel, but it's not done this before and has me a little concerned...

    B2601 3pt left tilt

    Hi All, I have a B2601 and need to be able to tilt my box blade to the left but only the right-hand lift rod is adjustable. I tried swapping arms from one side to the other, but as I'm sure most of you know, that doesn't work. Is there an adjustable left-side lift rod like the one on the...

    B2601 "clicking" going up hills

    Hi All, I hope I can describe this so that it makes sense... I have a B2601 with about 250 hours on it. The engine runs smooth at all RPM's and I don't notice any problems with it. The only concerning thing I have going on is that when I'm climbing a hill -- steepness doesn't seem to matter...

    titan attachments drum plug aerator

    Hi All, I'm looking for a 3pt 48-50" plug aerator. While I'd love to get an EA one, they are just too expensive for me. I stumbled across this one from Titan and was wondering if anyone has any experience with this plugger, or Titan in general. Titan Attachments Drum Plug Aerator The specs...

    B2601 Temp Gauge

    Hi guys, The temperature gauge on my tractor always shows it running cool... like maybe 2mm above the cold line mark. No matter how hot or cold it is outside, the gauge rarely moves. Most of the work I do is between idle and around 2000rpm, but even when kicked up to 3200rpm running a wood...

    B2601 Hydraulic Oil Level

    Hi Everyone, I just did my first HST and Suction filter change and have some questions. I'll ask forgiveness in advance if this is a bit elementary, but I'm still pretty new at all of this... When I changed the filters I lost probably 1/2 to 3/4 quart of oil. Just a rough guess looking at...

    Heavy load LED light bars on B2601

    Hi guys, I have a couple of 120w LED light bars that I'd like to put on my tractor -- one facing forward and one rearward. The issue I have, from what I can tell, is that there are no existing fuse links that would allow for the 20A pull these lights would draw (10A each). My thought is to...

    B2601 wsm

    Hi guys, My B2601/2301 WSM just arrived. Code# 9Y111-11560. It has a revision date of Nov 2014. Is that the latest revision, or did they ship me an old book? I have a 2017 B2601 and want to make sure it's the accurate book for my model. Thanks to you all in advance.

    B2601 heavy loader load, hard steering

    Hi guys, I have a new (50hrs) B2601 and have noticed that if I have a heavy load on the front -- bucket full of wet dirt or forks with logs -- that it becomes harder to steer and it sounds like the front steering is struggling. The loader is able to lift the load, so I wouldn't think I'm...

    PTO spline alignment

    Hi everyone, I'm pretty new to tractors. I've had my B2601 for about 9 months now and keep struggling to get the PTO spline on the tractor to line up with the PTO spline on the attachment. So, when I try to install the PTO shaft, one side or the other doesn't line up. I usually adjust the...

    Calling all B2601 owners!

    Hi guys, I'm running into an issue with some wheel spacers and their fit. I've received two sets of spacers from Bro-Tek that don't fit. It has both myself and the guys at Bro-Tek stumped. We are wondering if maybe Kubota changed wheel's for the 2601 near the end of last year. I have R4...

    B2601 FEL Bleed down

    Hi everyone, I have noticed in my B2601 with the LA434 that the loader doesn't hold it's pressure very well. I might not be describing this the right way... I'm a new owner, so please bear with me. If the tractor is running and I have the loader w/forks set level at about 1.5 feet above the...

    B2601 turn signal lighting

    Hi everyone, I have a B2601 and have noticed something odd with the turn signals... at least it seems odd to me. When I turn on the turn signal, either direction, not only does the light I expect to blink start blinking, but the turn signal light on the opposite side comes on solid (ie. not...

    B2601 / LA434 loader not level

    Hi everyone, I have a new B2601 (22 hours) and one thing I have noticed is that the front loader isn't level side-to-side. It's nearly and inch off-bubble. For rough tasks, this isn't so much of an issue, but when trying to use pallet forks or scrape a level layer away with the bucket, it...

    Checking Hydrulic Fluid

    Hi guys, I'm a new tractor owner and am still learning. I have a B2601 and I've tried to check the hydrolic fluid at the rear of the tractor and in the front axle. But, I can't see it. It's like trying to see water against a yellow background. Do you guys have any tricks you can share that...

    B2601 FEL Capabilities

    Hi guys, I'm still trying to understand what the capacity numbers on a LA434/B2601 loader mean... If the breakout force is 1521 lbs at the pivot pin, does that mean it should be able to curl 1521 lbs? If lift capacity is 948 lbs at the bucket pivot pin (max height), should I be able to pick...

    Wheel spacers and rear ballast

    Hi Guys, I live on a hilly lot... not much level ground anywhere. I've read that wheel spacers add too much stress to the rear axle, but I've also read that they are perfectly acceptable options. I went ahead and got a set of 2" Bro-Tek rear spacers. In reading more, I stumbled across an old...

    B2601 LED Headlights

    Hi Guys, I'm looking to swap out the OEM headlights on my B2601 with brighter LED ones. I thought they were the same as GM 881 fog-light bulbs, but when I tried to use some, the plugs were different. Does anyone know what the correct bulb/connector type is for the 2601? Thank you, -Michael

    B2601 engine questions

    Hi Guys, I've got a new B2601 and I have a few questions about the engine that I just haven't found online... 1) What is the torque output curve? Like for my Ram 2500 I know I have 550 ft.lbs of torque at 1350rpm. Is there a similar spec for these Kubota engines? Is there a graph of the...
