    Lift System for Chain Harrow?

    Hi folks! I have a 6' Chain Harrow that I only used a few times per year. Now I due to having built a horse ring I need it often. I need a lift system of some sort that will allow me to raise and lower it for transport and to allow me to back it into a storage area. Any advice or where to get...

    Ballast  Front Weights?? Advice please!

    Hi! I have a Kubota B2410 with a 60" Mid-Mower. I also have a Front Loader so the rear wheels are fluid filled. After mowing with the loader attached last year I am thinking I may try it w/o the FEL this year to enhance manouverability. If I operate without the FEL is it advisable to add...

    Mowing  FEL Off for mowing help!

    Hi! Am going to take my FEL off for the mowing season, but wonder what other issues it will create??? I have a B2410 and the rear (Ag-Turf) are filled. Will it be okay to take the FEL off, or will I also have to add from weights for stability? (I have a MMM I will be using for the mowing)...

    Mowing  Mowing with FEL on?

    I was considering takng off my FEL for the mowing season and wondered if you more experienced folks do so or not? I have a B2410 with 60" MMM and LA352 FEL. I was thinking that my lawn might be better off w/o the extra weight of the FEL and that my visibility and ability to manouver would be...

    B2410 Rear Tire Settings (again)

    Hi all, Thanks for you responses on this over the last week or so. I have two more questions if anyone has time. The consensus in the other thread seems to be that the rear wheels (unless you have a special situation like narrow orchard rows, storage space and so on….) should be set as wide as...

    Rear tire width?

    My new B2410 has Bar Turf tires in the back and the axle looks as if the tires could be moved two "settings" wider than they are now. Is there a general rule as to how wide they should be? (The instructions with my Tiltmeter say they should be set as wide as possible). My major use will be...

    Storage until garage is done?

    Our garage is not going to be completed for a few months (at least). What is the best way to protect my new B2410 from the elements in the meantime? I have used some bungie cords and a tarp with some success, but it is windy here sometimes and it has not always stayed on! Any suggestions...

    Oil & Fuel  Diesel Fuel Additives

    Do you folks use any additive to your tracotr fuel or do you use straight #2 diesel fuel (like for a car)? The last tractor I used on any regular basis needed an additive to replace the sulphur that was taken out of car diesel fuel. Is this not necessary for newer Kubotas? Thanks!

    Chain Harrow?

    I am thinking of looking for a used (i hope) chain harrow to drag behind a B2410 for the purpose of maintaining a horse field for spreading out the manure and perhaps even overseeding some areas. What size chain harrow is sensible with the B2410? Any hints or tips? Thanks!

    Tires  Bar Turf Tires?

    Anyone use Bar Turf tires to mow the front yard? I found them excellent for loader work, but wonder if they will be too tough on the front yard in the spring! I have a B2410 with Turf Tires in front and Bar Turf in the rear. Anyone used these with or without sucess? Thanks!

    digging with FEL?

    I need to dig up some dirt in one area to fill groundhog holes in a horse pasture (lots of holes....)... is it possible/sensible to try to dig topsoil using my rear blade and FEL? (B2410 4WD w/LA352FEL & Woods 60" rear blade) What I really need is a load of topsoil delivered, but is it...

    Removing Implements?

    I have a Kubota B2410 with MMM, FEL, and rear blade. Most sales folks tell me that it is not a good idea to use the Front Loader while the Mower deck is on. However, taking the implements off and putting them back on job after job seems a bit daunting. The MMM cannot be lowered for use while...

    5' or 6' Rear Blade for B2410?

    5\' or 6\' Rear Blade for B2410? I have a new B2410 HST 4WD and I can get a Woods RB72 or a Woods RB60 for it. Is the 6 foot blade a bit much for the B2410? The RB60 is cheaper. I will use it to maintain my gravel driveway and some grading and digging of dirt. If the wider blade will tax...

    Went with the B2410

    Thanks to all of you for your helpful information as I shopped for a tractor. As a novice tractor owner I was lucky to find you all. Thank you. My local dealer (4 miles away) did not give me my best original quote but was willing to match the best offer I got. In addition they brought the...

    Kubota v New Holland???

    I was about to buy a B2410 but have just been handed a New Holland brochure for their Boomer compact tractors. Is there a Boomer that compares favorably in price and performance with the B2410? Are New Holland products a good value for the $ compared to Kubota? Any help appreciated! Roy
