I hope Kubota sees this and recognizes you for all the good exposure you’re providing on this model tractor. A+.

I just purchased this tractor I'm just waiting for them to put front end loader and deliver it. Thank u for this video.

I’m sold! You video is far and away the most honest and direct tutorial on RU-vid. We’re in the market for a compact tractor. The flail mower attachment would be a great asset too!

Thank you for the video. So nice to see a video where someone is actually showing instead of just talking. Very informative!

You showed just about everything that I need a tractor for and that this little thing can get the job done. Thank you for showing it in different uses!

This is probably the best video i have found for the versatility of the Kubota Tractor. Well done!!

GP, You were not kidding about how complicated the process is for a first time buyer. I started convinced w/ the B2650 then started seeing comparisons w/ LS, Kioti and Mahindra...all of the outperforming the Kubota one way or another. Heavier, cheaper, more loading capacity, more hp, etc., etc. So I went back and forth several times w/ my indecisiveness. But every time I went back to this video, saw again and again what the B2650 was capable of doing which was perfect for my needs. Price difference wasn't that significant to make me go to the other brands so finally pulled the plug and purchased one....still hesitant because everybody says that get as much hp as you can afford:) I want to thank you for the great reviews, I think you saved me some $$ in the long run...if it doesn't work, they resale value is a lot better to go higher:)

This may be an older video but I just stumbled across it while researching a tractor purchase. I fell into the bigger is better trap but after watching this video I’m re considering. I’m on a 10acre property with about 1/2 being forest and other being field and house. Your video just nailed what my needs are. As a long time subscriber I can’t believe I missed or likely just forgot about this episode. Thanks for opening my eyes up to a more affordable and likely more suitable option.

Just ordered a B2601 last week with a bachoe can’t wait till I use it in the woods ! Thanks for all your great videos! cheers!

so far we love the Kubota 3901L we got the package deal pull up hook trailer and roll..and now that we have it out here on our property we need more attachments ..like a rake ,,wood chipper for sure, we are heating with wood and i dont like the brush laying around..and the trailer that the Morgans got from RK with the dump thats on my list as well ,,love the videos, your doing a great job,,,i get exited about the projects around here now that need done and new tractor that starts every time you need it make you smile..

Great videos! Helped me decide on a B2601. Just picked one up a few weeks back. Couldn't be happier.

My weather isn't tractor conducive today. My B2601 sits in the garage and I come here to tractor vicariously through your video again.

You’re 100% correct on the buying thought process for those new to owning a tractor. It is tough to filter the process down to the size and options that really matter for each of us in our own situation. Enjoyed your letting your tasks speak for themselves in the video, thanks.

Did you mention the having fun and enjoying the day attachment? After a full and productive day, That tends to be my favorite. Great video BYW. Thanks.

Seeing you do all this stuff with the tractor I couldn't imagine doing it without it lots of work

Really enjoy the channel. Just got a b2601 myself. Actually being delivered today! Was looking into them when I found your channel. Glad we made the switch and look forward to the Kubota!

Thank you sir, showing what you do with this compact is what I needed to know for my purchase. Great video!

I am a John Deere owner and am very happy as well. Just wanted to say, good video. Nicely put together and you speak well on camera. Good continued luck with your machine.

Great video. Very helpful. More helpful than any manufacturer (Kubota, MF, et al) video!

Just ordered a b2601. These videos helped guage the capability of this model. Was very helpful. Looking forward to getting our in a few weeks and learning to operate it.

From Australia, love your vids, I have a BX23S on 5 acres of bushland and find it fantastic for mowing tight spaces but just a little small and underpowered for everything else especially the undersized 4 in 1 FEL which carries only a full wheelbarrow load of soil, the compact seems more capable without being too big.

Seems like the perfect Tractor for a country property. Thanks!

Good evening sir....That was an awesome video highlighting the versatility of not only the 2601 but compact tractors of all types. So often, they are overlooked as ineffective. Your compilation should convince those doubters otherwise. Needless to say, I was sure surprised at the ten minute spot when you so unexpectedly spoke so highly of me. Thank you so much for the shout out because as a direct result of your comment, more than 100 people subscribed to my channel today ! Thank you for the binge-watch. I thought I was the only guy that did that !! lol. On a lighter note, just HOW do you stay so clean..? It must be a Canadian thing. lol. By ten a.m. I'm usually already looking like a bum. Thank you again sir.

Fantastic video for someone who is considering buying a tractor I really appreciate such a well put together video.

Enjoyed… I have a B2301….and I also am appreciative of the versatility…

I have a B2301 that is perfect for my property in Southern Vermont and what I need to do. I've had it for 2+ years and I don't know how I got along without it for all these years. It becomes more useful everyday.

Wow!! Thanks for demonstrating instead of talking. We have less than 10 acres that needs work.

I picked up a used B3000 with cab, snow blower, rotary cutter, belly mower, rototiller, box scraper, trailer hitch lift, and loader and wonder what I ever did without it. It’s a really useful, fantastic machine. I really enjoy your channel. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!

A+ I have a B2920 and it's a toy compared to my Case backhoe' but it does so many things I could not even think about with the Case... Very kool video ///

Can’t really recall how I ended up here, but I am enjoying your channel! BTW, thanks for the Tractorman44 tip, you are right, he has a real nice style and way of seeing things, but so do you. Cheers from Eastern Ontario.

Hi I bought a Kubota b1620 21months ago and what you do with yours is tame to what mine does. It's a brilliant little machine, I've dug ditches,ponds,made a hedge, carried furniture moved chicken sheds on back forks towed a trailer with 1460kg of straw and hay on it through 1foot deep mud no problems.plus normal stuff.and it's got no backhoe as they not available in the UK for Kubota. Good videos by the way.

You have more money in attachments than the tractor, good video, thanks

I just purchased a BX2601 with loder to replace my 1979 L185. It gets delivered next week. Im stoked the L185 was a beast. Its actually going to the dealership to get restored and put on display.

Kubota should be paying you for this video tremendous job at showing the capabilities of the B2601

Thanks for posting this! I just ordered my B2601, two weeks to wait!

Thanks for another great video Gord. I know what you mean about being overwhelmed at the dealer. So much to chose from. You can't go wrong with Kubota, love their products.

I have a B2620 which I bought mainly for a lawn mower. As a lawn mower it is fine but nothing spectacular but that kind of a task is not what you buy a compact tractor for. I also have some other property that has to be brush hogged and I have had to do some loader work. These are the situations where the tractor comes into its own, the thing never stops amazing we with its capabilities. For its size it is a beast. I would say do not underestimate a compact tractor. Obviously there are times when you need a bigger tractor but for smaller parcels of land they are ideal. A bigger tractor on a smaller piece of land sometimes could be just to big to maneuver.

I sold my older and larger ford tractor and replaced it with this model. After 6 years or so I still am happy with it. I use the loader a lot and pull both a bush hog mower and a finish mower as well as a grading blade for the driveway. Great video!

Very good Video thank you!! Just purchased a B2601 a few weeks ago waiting on delivery. Was happy with what I picked but now you have me excited this video showed everything I'm wanting to do with mine. But I also got belly mower with it.

I forgot just how much work you have shown in your videos. These small tractors are invaluable when it comes to doing work and maintenance on a property. I don’t use my B2650 much but I really appreciate it when I do. Thanks for the video.

Hey Gord, just had to watch this one again. Now if I can just convince my wife how much I really need this tractor 🤞🤞😩. Thanks for sharing with us again. Fred.

I have been on the fence between the B2601HSD, L 2501 and the kioti CK2610. The ck was eliminated when I tested the loader it’s extremely hard to do 2 functions with it at the same time. I finally got a good price on a B2601HSD now if the dealership can find one I will be happy. They have sold 5 so far this month. Your videos have been a big help and kept me from buying a tractor that is to large. Thanks and have a good one 👍🏻

I showed up with coffee in hand! I have to admit, the effectiveness of that size tractor w/ a grapple is surprising. I feel like that's a good size for a lot of small land owners. Considering one.

Wish I could post pictures here, but my B2601 will lift 275 gallon IBC totes filled to the last horizontal support (8 inches from the top) with green beech wood 4 feet off the ground. That's 25.6 cubic feet of wood (1/5 of a cord). That's 1,382.4 pounds of wood. A B2650 could probably lift a full tote but I like keeping my lawn intact when driving over it. I needed a light tractor to handle firewood without tearing up the turf and the B2601 fit the bill perfectly. If it does the job you need it to then it's the perfect machine for you.

Just bought an L2501 for my 31 acre property. So far it’s been great at everything I’ve asked of it, from box blading my road, rotary cutter for the pastures and front end loader for moving dirt. Summer in TN makes me wish I had a cabbed tractor, but it’s only really hot for two or three months of the year. Just wasn’t worth the added expense for me.

Very good video. You not only provided great content, but you did so in a drama free manner that is very pleasant to watch. That's nice change of pace from most UT videos. Thanks!

These little helpers are worth of every penny! They a versatile, and practically non destructible they're used right!

Those compact tractors are looking perfect for my families 5 acres. 👌

Great video. Having all those amazing attachments make that machine Unstoppable.

My brother bought a new 2019 Kioti 26hp tractor and I was impressed with how capable it is. It seems to have the right amount of power to do everything, and it surprised me that he only paid something like $32K Canadian for it. We also have a Bobcat B300 backhoe, with a 46hp kubota motor on our property/cottage. It almost seems too big for most projects, but my father in law loves it too much to downsize lol. I'm considering financing a Kioti tractor as well....

Nice demonstration of the capability of the tractor! Ive been watching for a while first time comment great channel and nice place enjoy watching keep the videos coming

Why can't I put more than one thumbs up lol Wow that was the greatest display of any and all attachments in the day & night at that. I learned more about implements in this one video. I wish I could afford the size that suits me and all of the attachments available and a metal building to store all the attachments ever made.

I have a L3200 gear drive for food plots and trails. And I'm having a B2301 loader tractor delivered next week for upcoming projects. I enjoy your videos!

Have you tried the backhoe that fits this tractor? Great job "showing" your work. It answers quickly what to expect.

Very great video!! Helps me a lot to confirm that'll by this tractor in the next months!

Great Video,very informative.Never knew you could get so many empements on these tractors.

Hi GP, I decided to watch this as I hadn't seen it before. Great video of all the things you do with your B2601. I own a Kubota B7200 with a geared transmission. When it cam tom to replace my Ford 4000 Loader Tractor, I wanted a machine with a hydrostatic transmission. There was one huge reason why I didn't even look at a new Kubota. It was the rocker pedal for forward and reverse. I tried my brothers BX24, and I had a bit of difficulty every time i wanted to go into reverse. I ended up with a Rural King RK37 hydrostatic with a cab, and I love it. Smaller than the Ford and easier to transport. No more trying to keep my hands and feet warm while plowing snow! But I still have my Kubota B7200!

It looks like you are having a lot of fun. Good for you.

About to retire to my acreage and this video makes me look forward to it even more

You get some really good use out of that grapple! Thanks for the great video. I'm considering the 2301 & 2601 myself. For the $1,000 difference it's probably worth going with the 26 even though I don't have any immediate needs for PTO power. Just loader work.

I have a bx and I’m surprised daily about how much of a workhorse it is, you just need to have realistic expectations. Thanks for the video

never under estimate the compact tractor! enjoyed the video as always.

Just got a 2301 and Love it!!

Love your videos, and it looks like you're getting good use out of your tractor investment. I just purchased a Kubota BX2380 earlier this year with a front mounted snow blower and a mid-mount mowing deck. The dealer was surprised at my choices (specifically the snow blower) until I told him I lived on a sixth of a city block and just wanted something that fit my frame (I'm a big guy) that I could mow with in the summer and move snow with in the winter...and hopefully be able to grow with me if I ever am able to get the property I want. What I ended up with is probably too much machine for what I have now, and not enough for where I'm going later...but I do love it! Never had this much fun doing chores before. I guess that in itself made it worth the investment. The wife just shook her head (that must be a thing with wives)...but quit giving me so much grief when a neighbor about five blocks down got one too!! Keep up the good work on your channel!

I kicked around the idea of getting one of these small loader backhoes. After research I went with a ASV RT 50 Track Loader instead. Mini X is next.

We have a B3300 with an LA504 loader. Day after day after day, the most dependable thing we've ever owned.

So many people around satisfied with a B2601!!! It's indeed a great machine. It has most of the capabilities of the larger series and yet the agility of a compact one. I am glad you enjoyed Tractorman's channel. I hope I can get more time to watch more video between a few flights and welding projects! Thanks!

Well done, Gord. I actually laffed at the snowblower action. I can't tell you how nice it is to stay warm and dry inside my cab when that powder snow is gettin' blown back at ya. Cheers back on ya.

Awesome video. I've watched a bunch of videos on compact and sub-compact tractors, and most of them just have a guy walking around and talking about knobs and levers. I want to see the tractor in action. It really gives me a much better sense of its capabilities. Not sure I'll be able to afford a Kubota, but maybe a Kioti or New Holland with similar specs.

FANTASTIC VIDEO... THANK YO SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!

Great video! I did have some questions about what I would be able to do with a compact tractor but after watching your video, I'm sure a compact will work for me. Thank you!

Thanks for the great demo. It is really capable. Hmmm. Yes, Kubota should give you kudos for that demo as well.

Have a 3901 love it.

I wish I hadn’t watched this video.... now I want one even more!!!

Nicely done, GP! Great montage of what you can do with a compact tractor! Also good advice at the end. Glad you are fan of Tractorman44. He’s one of my favorites as well. Cheers!

I have been watching your videos on and off for the last month. I have to make a decision soon, and of course, you have helped me with my decision. I'll be asking for the GP Outdoors package.

Your videos are excellent! I also live in Ontario. You helped me on my decision on buying my Kubota b2650. Ive now started to post a couple videos of my own. Thanks GP

Here's something else to consider, I have an M6800 on the farm but it's to big to work in the wooded areas and it's more difficult to trailer. I want this B2601 with the grapple bucket to clean the woods plus with a mid mower I can use it at my house. I think this will be a perfect fit, thanks for the review. If you're not on the Kubota payroll you should be.

Love the videos'. Just when I think I've seen them all, I find another oldie but goodie. Also, you always remind me that I need to grab another cup of Joe!

This music had me expecting to see Ron Jeremy make an appearance.

Watching you over the last 2 yrs with this model has convinced me to get a cab model and a larger model with more hp... for my N Idaho place.. we get as much if not more snow and similar temps.. So thank you Gord for doing all these vids

Hi GP, I've followed your channel pretty much from the beginning. Your upgrade to the LX2610 came with lots of comments about transmission whine. So I decided to watch this episode again. The difference in whine between the models is significant. With the B2601, the sound of the engine was always dominant, with a slight whine in the background... that's in every segment you shot. I'm ready to finally get my new tractor. The choice between these two models has been most difficult. I am giving the B2601 a second look. Wish I could get the deluxe seat on that model. I love your channel and your unbiased reviews. Keep up the great work!

Awesome video! You can do quite a lot with the 2601. My property is mostly wooded and what you were doing besides snow blowing is what I’ll be doing and a few other projects

Awesome display of the capabilities. Thank you

Nice, you have all of the attachments!

Awesome video! Exactly what I wanted to see! I thank you

The temptation is always "Go Bigger" so you have more capability, but people don't often think that by going too big, they actually start to lose usability. Climbing on and off, less ability to maneuver in tight spaces. Everything getting more expensive and so on. If at all possible, try borrowing or renting something first and trying it out. Should help you see how much you actually need.

Great points made each tractor is made to fill its nitch. Looking at what you're doing you had a good salesman who directed you to the right tractor. Anything bigger you would have had trouble going in among the trees.

Excellent, appreciate the variety of attachments, thanks

Thanks for the video. Pricing of Kubota tractors in Australia pushes one towards an L series tractor. They start at around $23k. That would be for a basic one without a front end loader. $31k will get you a L3800 with a 4 in 1 loader. Meanwhile BXs start at around $17K without a loader and go up to around $33k with a loader & backhoe. The B series start at around $21K and stay around $2K lower that the equivalent L. I’m looking at the L as there are some attachments I’d like to get that would be too big for a compact tractor. I do like the smaller Kubota tractors. They are so good looking & so useful.

Great video. High quality and great content.

So, you have every attachment made. Amazing how much you utilize this machine.

great video! This helps me a ton. Thanks! Nice shots!

another informative video, I live on 5 acres with a nice mix of woods, yard and a small pond. I purchased a Kubota BX 23S with a 60" mowing deck and brush hog. It comes with an integrated backhoe. So far it does everything I've tackled and is maneuverable enough to get my chores done. Your suggestions are spot on. I did find the limit for my FEL when I loaded a 660 lb wood stove on my pallet forks and transported it to my front door. it got it done but would not lift it another inch. lol. Have a great day. We are supposed to get our first snow of the new year this weekend here in Ohio, Cheers.

GP great job on the video. I dont know if i could live with out my Kubota L2501. These tractors are awesome in all that they can do for there size.

Great video. Didn’t know they can do all that. Thanks!

I have a Kubota BX2380 and it’s still amazing. I also have a L2501 and they dominate our over 200 acre farm

Good evening GP, very good video and yes Wendel ( tractorman 44 ) is very interesting and generous of himself by giving a lot of importante information and ho boy ! he is very funny !!! Keep up the good work GP !!!

Great video.....I’ve always used just horses, but that really helped me decide on a compact tractor!

Great video it's true there is allot of thing to consider when you by a tractor.
