As posted earlier, Mark said he talked with Kubota today and got an answer about the published weights being for a tractor excluding tires/wheels, seat, ROPS (unless otherwise noted), and fuel, but including fluids such as oil.
According to Kubota books, the weight of the B2710/LA402/R4 field ready with fuel and all would be +/- 3080lbs.
However, a gentleman e-mailed me and stated that he had a B2710/LA401/R4 weighed before shipment from Carver Equipment at 2480lbs; that being a field ready number. I confirmed that today, by e-mail with Carver Equipment.
So let's see, the answer is... a tractor that, according to Kubota, should weigh +/- 3080lbs, actually weighs around 600lbs less when put on the scale! Go figure!
For reference, the B2710 tractor is published at 1740lbs, the LA402 loader at 970lbs. That alone is 2710lbs, and doesn't include wheels/tires, fuel, or a seat.
Hard to say a scale is 600lbs off.
