Thanks for the vid. Im seriously thinking of upgrading to the 2601 from the BX. I like the way you described your grapple "Back Saver 2000" no lie there, for us aging men anything you can do to not bend so much is a gift. Not to mention the grapple really shines picking up and pulling out brush pile. The very best attachment you can put on that machine if you aske me. Cheers from Washington State.
Both great tractors.I run a lot of KUBOTA equipment and had an L-2501 for 8 yrs.The L2501 is a no frills workhorse,no bells.The floor mats on the L-02 series will fit on the L-2501 if you want floor mats and protect the paint and quieter.You can't go wrong owning Kubota.
I hav a B2601 and have put 700 hours on it and have never taken the front end loader off of it. To each their own. I use the bucket, a stump bucket, a grapple, forks, a box blade, a single plow, a front mounted trailer hitch, and a mid-mount mower and none of this requires the front end loader to be removed in my opinion.
At my house it is very tight for getting around with the mid mount mower so removing the loader is a must,,,unless I want to do a pile of trimming. Thanks for watching!
@@timschison52 I'm just the opposite. At tight places I use my Deere X390. I have a very deep and steep ditch by the highway and having the front end loader with the bucket on makes it feel much safer going up the ditch banks with the mid mount mower. In addition this lets me step over the mower deck to attach and it makes it much faster to attach and remove. Everyone's conditions. are different so we all have to. do what's best for our situation. Have a great day!
According to the FTC, since at least 2021, Kubota has labeled thousands of those parts as Made in USA when, in fact, they were imported from overseas. In addition, the FTC says that the company moved some its manufacturing to locations outside the United States and yet continued to label those products as Made in USA.Jan 26, 2024
I have a fx6500 wallenstine. operations - great footage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-f8UNYj9bIrw.html video of it working. I have several other videos of it and things it couldn’t pull. Had it on my L4740 kubota. I sold the tractor and bought a L2502 so will be putting it on that come summer.
nice i have a fx 40 on a john Deere 3025 been a bit disappointed in it but your vid has impressed me . I am going to contact the factory and see what they can do for me mine would not even begun to winch that tree i would of had to cut it in half . The 3025 is about the same horse power but a 1000 pounds heavier then the B2601
Thanks for the comment! I had an issue with the rope and pulley system in the first day of using the winch, once I tightened it up, the winch pulled better. My rope stretched in the first few pulls, so I moved the stop knot up a few inches. I hope that helps.
Thank you very much for the comment and watching! This little workhorse of a tractor spends most of its days within 50 feet of the house, I just wanted to demonstrate the capabilities of the unit. I have professional operated skidders for a living in the past,which would definitely better suit logging in the woods, but I would assume more people have compact tractors.
I just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for sharing all your years of experience with us!! I will be getting a B2601 within the next year and will be taking a lot of your advice.
That treadle pedal is the dealbreaker for me. I have an 05 B7800 30hp no emissions tractor I picked up used a few years ago. Great little tractor for a smaller property. Compares favorably with your 2601 in that regard. Installed a third function kit, has a QA bucket, 3 pt backhoe, snowplow, grapple, forks, tire chains, ballast box, etc. I don't know how I got along without it. Your videos are very informative and watchable. Thanks.
Tim, this is "Realy Kool". Those are some Nice Big Long Logs. This Will shurly make some magnificent Lumber. Is is So great you are part of this wonderful endeavour. Thank you Sir for the Excelent vidio.
I have a 2019 B2601. It's been a great tractor. Run a 5 ft bush hog and box blade with no issues. I would purchase again....perfect for my little 7 acre world.
Great idea for a future video, and no neither of these tractors use any def or have a diesel particulate filter. They are old school mechanical diesels.
Hi Tim Love your videos you do a good job. I agree with you. There are so many moving parts on that quick disconnect. I had the same problems and had to figure out how to make the adjustments on it that the service people didn't even know how to make. The problem is they won't sell it without that quick disconnect anymore.
What are "Front wheel spacers " for? The Front Axle is on a "pure floating piviot" ;each front wheel Carries the same EXACT weight, UNTILL it "Hits the stops" ( Usually by then the Tractor has Allready FLIPPED OVER)!! Just "maybe" if the front AXLE was Twelve Feet WIDE ;& mounted Solid...it might help!
New subscriber here. Wow maybe I don’t need a thirty five hp tractor. I wonder how it would handle a woodland mills stump grinder and or chipper ? Great video. Glad I found ya. Take care
Looks good. I love brisket, just did my first about a month ago on the BBQ. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GTvG9nqAeiQ.html Yours is way juicier. My second attempt turned out more like yours. Damn I love brisket!
Thanks for video, live in eastern ont also. Do you think additional chains on the front tires would be useful. Usage case is very similar in addition to snow blowing.Would like to use in my bush in winter but have fear of getting stuck.
I couldn't say one is better than the other on slopes but I have wheel spacers on both. The L2501 is a bit wider but the B2601 is lower so they are about the same feel on a side hill. I hope that helps.
May I ask why you purchased your B01 after already having a L2501? I am thinking of going the opposite way (have a b series and thinking of replacing it with l2501) for more capability with not much bigger physical size thanks!
I enjoy your input and knowledge. Those filled tires look like serious business especially after seeing how you tossed the trailer tire around like a rag doll! Stay safe and have a wonderful evening!
FYI. Just a suggestion. When removing the grapple, loop (attach) the grapple hydraulic lines back on themselves. This will prevent any pressure buildup and will make the hook up process very easy.
Thank you very much, I have tried this and have had to use wrenches to disconnect them that way as well. When you hook them together they still make a closed loop and build pressure.
Hi Tim, just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to show us more about these tractors. I’m just about to buy one like yours and you have been a great help, they are not to common here in Southern Ireland 👍
What do you mean by, "really no good for lumber per se"? Per se is a Latin phrase that means, 'by itself'. Why are you speaking to us in Latin? Do you think we are Romans? We speak English, just like you do. You are using a foreign language and don't even know what it means. We don't know what it means either. Why should we look it up after you say it? Why don't you look it up before you say it. Monkey see - monkey do. Monkey hear - monkey say. Don't volunteer to be that monkey. Art from Ohio
Great video. 175 lbs about, plus tire and wheel, for each rear wheel weight. Now, that can change a bit depending on what chart you look at what type of liquid you use to fill. And who you ask. Hehe. Nice added weight for traction and stability. I was using 11.2x 16 tire size. Nice size tractor. Have a good day.
What brand of canopy do you have on your B2601? - very informative video - great job! I added Kubota spacers on my B2601 but the dealer told me Kubota did not recommend using them with a backhoe not sure why?
I'm sorry but I can't remember the brand of canopy I can find out the next time I am talking to my dealer. Also I am not sure why they wouldn't want spacers with the backhoe, I have heard of some people having issues with mid mount mowers, but I haven't had any problems with my mower or backhoe.
The "B-series & Lx's" tractors are EXTREMELY Light-weight BUILT rigs. The Backhoe that they are carrying are just about "CRUSHING" the AXLES. With the "Added" wheel spacers the "STRESS " on the out-board transmission hub-cases that are "Chinesium" ( Aluminum-alloy) can,& WILL very easily Break-Snap-fracture & make them Fall apart ....just like a "Two dollar Suit". Warrenty claims & Manufacturers Do NOT like "ADD on Wheel-spacers " Sounds like you need a Bigger tractor.
