The B2650 count down has begun!

It's still available for a rear set of hydraulics as far as I'm aware? It's kind of dorky looking, but who cares at the end of the day. If putting a second and third pair of lines out to the rear means that you clamp to the left vertical ROPS bar.... You get your hydraulics to perform your work.

To me, if I wanted rears, I'd get over the aesthetics of it purely because of the functionality of it.

I wouldn’t go with the factory setup. It looks terrible out on the ROPS. Not to mention th want over 1000$ for them. For 350$ you can do them yourself and make them look a lot nicer and more
Factory looking than out on the ROPS. I will make a thread when I do mine. I am going to do 3 spools. I may even spend the extra money and do electric over hydraulic. 3 spools on 3 rocker switches. No levers to pull.

You guys with mechanical skills are above me. My degree was in philosophy.

Yet, I have since learned to bust my knuckles, get dirt in my eyes and burn my hands....the newbie way.

I am going to mount my valve down along side of the transmission and have hoses coming back to 6 couplers.(3 sets of remotes). If I can’t figure out a nice way to route the levers up to the operator station then I am going to go electric over hydraulic. Definitely more money but easier. Just need to figure out where to mount the 3 switches. Either way it will be less than half the cost of the kubota kit and won’t look hideous with hoses running up to the ROPS and that valve sticking out there. Even my dealer said he is embarrassed of kubota thinking that’s the “correct” way to do it.

This past weekend I added large D-Rings and 3/8" weld on chain hooks.

The chain hooks will be strictly for attaching to the trailer, the D-Rings will be for lifting/moving objects.

I'm going to add 2 hold to the rear on the horizontal plate that is part of the backhoe frame, then 2 more on the vertical plates that are the backhoe subframe. That way I can chain it down with or without the backhoe.

Looking good rock crawler

Dealer called and tractor is on its way! He said the tires have not shipped yet and are coming from another warehouse because they couldn’t be ordered as a package with the tractor. Hopefully it gets here soon and they can have it setup and ready to go and the tires come soon. Can’t wait much longer

Are you getting spacers behind the 15" wide as well, or just doing the rims and tires? I did the spacers, my sidewall to sidewall width is 60.5".

I did check total length of the B2650, bucket flat and bucket rolled in tight.

 

[Dan33Klein]

I decided to hold off on the spacers for now. Just went with the bigger tires. I sure hope the tires do not hold up the tractor. I just finished the fabricating on my snow plow for it last night and it’s getting sandblasted/primes today. Calling for snow in the forecast.

I back blade plowed snow when we got a heavy/wet 8" a couple weeks ago and just used mid range. There was zero stress on the transmission in mid range. I was using a 72" blade.
