I see the rough cut mower doesn't match. I will take it all off your hands do you can get a whole new setup all matching.

Great selection. Enjoy it

A dream come true!
Awesome and well thought out purchase.
I'm sure you consider yourself lucky!
Good Luck!

Sweet! That Grapple!

 

[Frank Castle]

Thanks guys, yes it's a dream come true for sure. The rough cut was available that color, or...tan I don't mind, come summer it's going to be dirty anyway.

The grapple is endlessly useful! Grapple was on my list no matter what my next machine was. For years I've struggled hopping off the tractor, hooking a strap to the dead-fall or object I want to move, hop back on, lift, find out it's not adjusted properly, repeat. Very frustrating, the grapple is so fast, much safer, and I've already put 5hrs on it.

The tractor is a perfect size of weight and power for me, maneuverable in the tree's, nice warm cab and radio, and the quick hitch is awesome for hooking up the rear implements (I've moved them around a few times getting the mowers positioned for winter storage). I think it's going to work out great. Once I'm done cleanup I'll pop the loader off, mount the front Kubota hitch and try out the 72" blade and blower

 

[Frank Castle]

Took the loader off for the first time (was nervous, turns out about nothing, even with the third function extra hoses, easy peasy!), installed the quick hitch to try out the 72" blade and snowblower, surprised how easily all this stuff is to swap on and off. No real snow to speak of yet (and it can stay that was as long as it likes) but when it does come...I'll be ready for it!

Man, you just created a whole new meaning to the adage: Go big or go back! Is your Kubota salesman now retiring? Good luck with the new machine.

I知 envious of the snow attachments and grapple. Should have bit the bullet and got snow blower

I am also interested in the B2650 with the front snow blower. If I were to also get the front blade, do I be a remote up front to run the hydraulic tilt of the blade or since I have the snowblower, what I would need is already there. Sorry, I have never seen either of these hooked up yet.

Thanks

The blade has hoses long enough they plug into the loader valve on the side of the tractor, so you just use the loader lever to lift/drop the blade, or move it side to side.

The Blower I optioned the hydrualic chute rotation and deflection, and that is done with a solenoid on the blower itself (splits the circuit).

I like having both the blade and the blower, I use the blade for the first few snowfalls until the ground is good and frozen, then switch to the blower for most of the rest of the winter. The blade trip can also be locked out and the blade used as a dirt dozer. really nice setup.
