I am trying to match a 65 year old friend up with a very low hour (no rental) used B26 TLB.
Hyd. thumb would be nice, but not a deal killer.
Trucking cost to Norfolk, VA area is a consideration.

Just posted B2301 TLB with mower deck and tiller. Can be dropped off Norfolk area this week only. Wlanning1@comcast.net
Thanks for the response,...... but a B26 TLB is a very different animal.
The B26 TLB is the smallest of Kubota's 3 purpose built TLB's,........ not a tractor/mower/with BH!

I would look at Marketplace and or Craigslist - both could have hits.

I do see that machine on both ( I look daily for all kinds of stuff) However it is NOT a machine as popular as a BX or another B

Do your research
"research"???
You actually believe YOUR B2301 TLB mower/tiller/ tractor is equal to the small (4001 lb) B26 purpose built TLB?
Your machine will dig to 85" v/s 98", will lift 948 lbs v/s 1300 lbs., lift 78" high v/s 98"......... ?????
Yours must have a very different sort of B3201 TLB machine than the B3201 TLB sold by Kubota!

The comparison that you imply, is NOT EVEN CLOSE!

"not as popular",..... but somewhat more capable, being that it is actually a purpose built small TLB!
I am going to research a low time used L45 for him,........if I can find one.
Much bigger/better/capable machine......if it can be found.
I bought my 251 hour private sale L48 TLB 4 years ago (wonderful machine!)
With time......they can be found, .......but time does matter for him!

Machinery Pete, Fastline, and Machinery Trader, seem likely sources.
I am currently instead considering a used L45 TLB for my friend,.....a much more robust machine than a new (likely undersized) little B26 TLB.

EDIT: I thought L45 TLB was a ggod deal.
Someone else did too.
My friend fiddled, ......and the L45 TLB was GONE!
