    Mid mount mower deck shortages

    I come from a 3 generation Massey family but made the jump to orange because of the dealer. Never thought supply chain would be such an issue.

    Mid mount mower deck shortages

    I bought a new B2601 last September with a mid mount deck in addition to loader and third function with grapple. The tractor has been great but the dealer tells me the mid mount mower is still on back order. I downsized from a B2501 to get the mowing deck and the quick attach. Anyone else having...

    Loader  B2601 third function alternative control.

    I have the factory third function with the two buttons on the front side of the loader joystick where I hit them all the time. I thought I would get used to them but I don’t seem to be getting any smarter. Has anyone seen a thumb switch third function?

    Mowing  Comparison between Belly and 3 point mount mowers for B2601

    I have used both belly and 3 point mowers on other tractors. I get the annoyances and benefits of the two types. My question is this: I have a really soft yard. Which is less likely to tear up the turf when turning? Has anyone tried both on the B2601?

    Anyone built a 3 point implement shed?

    PJRAM, That is perfect. Never occurred to me to put my quick attach forks etc on the second level. The roll up tarp curtain is a nice touch too. I knew this was the right place to ask. Thank you!

    Anyone built a 3 point implement shed?

    I don’t like leaving implements outside if I can help it. My too small tractor shed is full of tractor. I am envisioning a low slant roof on the outside that I can just drive up to. Any suggestions would be welcome!

    To me the salesperson is the dealer’s representative. I don’t distinguish.

    B2150 parts unavailable?

    Does this sound right? The dealer service manager is telling me that he cannot get a new B2150 steering box or rebuild the existing one to stop the leaking. He further tells me that he cannot repair the gear box on the mowing deck which had a catastrophic failure also because parts are not...

    Buying Advice  No MMM on B2601 with factory spacers?

    Getting ready to sign the paperwork for new B2601 and suddenly I get an “Oh by the way” you cannot use the mid mount mower with the factory wheel spacers. In the original online build it prevented me from having both but the dealer initially said Kubota only does that because you cannot use...

    Buying Advice  Have I lost my mind buying a new tractor? (B2150 vs B2601)

    I have a 1100 hr B2150 that other than a slight oil leak from the steering seal runs flawlessly. I do also need a new gearbox on the mowing deck. But other than that she starts every time and does what I ask without fail. I have been eyeing a B2601 with QA and third function and a rear...

    Buying Advice  Left sided brake pedals

    I am not trying to rehash an old topic. Everyone is different but my preference is to have split brakes on the left. Anyone know what brands/models have left sided split brakes? I am looking in the 24-35 hp range. My wife has approved a new tractor so I want to move quickly before she changes...

    Woods rotary cutter shear bolt stuck

    Nope. It came that way new but I think it was an option. I remember because it is the first completely new piece of equipment I ever bought.

    Woods rotary cutter shear bolt stuck

    Yup. It has both. Probably just for this reason. Problem solved itself. One good hidden stump and it failed completely.
