yeah i'm as new as the b26 in the driveway. Cool deal on 0%@60 plus a below $28k out the door with the thumb.
Awesome little machine. It will tip over, but that's my fault. I'll share some stuff as I get to know this power pup.

Been welding now for twenty five+ years. The new kubota just 6hrs, and I can't get enough of it. It's like having another pair of hands around here. And in todays market thats a full time employee for the cost of a B26. Priceless.

Yeah the B26 was pricey, I compaired the JD 790, 990, 4310, the koitis. the bobcats, new holland........ding ding ding and the winner is a kubota B26. Lets hope things stay that way. but from what i've seen the machine was well worth the extra ching.

Now that is one gorgeous machine...congrats! If money were less of an object, that one would have been high on my list.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on the B26. I have had a B21 for the last 8 years and they are a little work horse. Are you saying you have tipped it on it's side already? May want to consider liquid ballast in the rear tires. It is a day and night difference in stability and traction.

didn't tip all the way over, I was on a slop diagonally aiming down hill and lifted a root, about 6' wide, and whoopsie. As soon as I lowered the loader, all good. It does have liquid in the tires, or so I was told by the dealer? Hmmm. But it is real narrow. Just my stupidity. and I own and operate cranes too. Duh.

I considered a used b21 as well but couldn't find any in the area, but really need the 1300lbs of lifting.

Sad day for the little John Deere 40. Looks like he's gonna need a good home.
