    B2601 correct hydraulic pressure?

    Though I appreciate sarcasm, I definitely don't appreciate being insulted. I know who to believe. The proof was needed to settle a dispute. Turns out the other guy's proof was from a BX manual instead of a B. If I had a service manual then I would have settled it myself. I don't so I was...

    B2601 correct hydraulic pressure?

    Any chance you can take a picture of this in the service manual? Someone on Facebook is disputing this.

    Think I'm done.

    I have a B2601 and although the lift capacity could be higher (B2650 would be be perfect) I can still move 1,400 pounds of firewood 3' - 4' off the ground as shown. I was also able to lift full buckets (60" light materials bucket) of river rock to max height to dump over a fence. I chose the...

    Used B2601 Price check

    Never saw wood bend steel unless it was 1,700 degrees and between my anvil and wood mallet. Perhaps it backed in to something. I personally bent the top link on my 3 point after I raised it too high with the rops down and I think the replacement was only $40. Not too bad and now I have a steel...

    Installing a block heater on a B2620

    This hose is the one I'm talking about. There was nothing in the directions. If that's supposed to be plugged then I feel like a moron.

    Installing a block heater on a B2620

    Hopefully someone still follows this thread... Two days ago I installed this same kit on my B2601. Used thread sealant and the whole 9 yards. Ran the engine for 30 minutes and no leaks. Awesome. Yesterday I plugged the heater in for 1 hour. Came back out and noticed antifreeze leaking out of...

    B26 - About to purchase - Updates coming?

    If you are referring to a B26 as the B2601 then I've heard elsewhere that the B2601 may get the one piece hydraulic quick connect for the 4 loader hoses to the loader valve and a way to engage the loader park stand from the seat, just like the new bxs. The "quick park" feature. I have a B2601...

    You ever cut down a big tree?

    Yeah, about 32" was the most I've gone. If the splitter can't split it, I don't cut it.

    10 acres - what would you get?

    Personally, I'd go with a B series if you will be using it more often on the manicured lawn or the L if you're going to be using it more in the tall grass and to maintain the driveway. I went with a B2601 and it's only for gathering firewood and landscaping duty. I have a Cub Cadet Zforce...

    How do you deal with snow?

    Polaris Ranger 800, full cab, heater, manual windshield wiper, Boss fully hydraulic plow. Has handled everything we've had so far. Worst it's seen was a mix of 8" of wet and frozen snow and it pushed with no problem. There's a 1,500' access road on about a 17 degree slope next to my house. This...

    Outdoor cooking area: Picture Request

    Thanks guys. I tried to do everything myself with the help of my father. My dad and I set the wall, I ran all the outdoor speaker wire in conduit before we poured, 12 of us poured the concrete in one morning, 2 neighbors and I built the pavilion, my father and I set the fireplace, and I ran the...

    Outdoor cooking area: Picture Request

    You'll have to excuse the leaves and mess... But we used a 12x14 cedar pavilion from Costco and placed it up against an outdoor fireplace and pizza oven. Mounted a Sunbrite 46" TV to the pavilion and it's working out beautifully for us. Future plans include adding a second pavilion over the...

    Looking into a B2601...measurements needed!

    I would strongly consider this as a mower instead. Cub Cadet ZForce steering wheel zero turn. I have one and the thing is a beast. Cuts like a dream and leaves pro stripes with a kit. Zero turn, won't tear up the grass, and is stable on slopes due to the steering wheel. You might actually save...

    B2601 and Firewood

    Which is exactly why I lifted each tote as high as I could to see if I could stack them. Now all I have to do is find level enough land to do so. But then again, I guess I do have a tractor that can do that :D

    B2601 and Firewood

    The purpose of lifting each tote that high was to see if I will be able to stack them 2 high with the amount of wood in them. Each one answered, "yes." They were brought down to about 6 inches when I was actually transporting them.

    B2601 and Firewood

    Just some pictures of my B2601 lifting 275 gallon IBC totes of firewood. I found the sweetspot for green beech is loading each tote to the first horizontal support below the top. Average lift height is 4'. The machine can easily lift it and doesn't tear up the grass when going through it. Win...

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    Added some work lights that I had had laying around the garage. Used magnetic mounts so that I could move them front to back or any other place I needed. Finished it off with a waterproof in dash switch. Also messed around with IBC totes and firewood. The tote pictured is just under 1/4 cord of...

    B2601 lift capacity

    I must admit that my experience with driving in the lawn has been limited. We have had record high rain fall this year. When it was dry out the B2601 (R4 industrial tires) never so much as made an indentation on the yard in 2 wheel drive. You will get some tearing in 4 wheel drive as with any...
