FEL Bucket 54" or 60"

Sounds like a good job for a skid steer..

A B2650 does a great job as well. And a B2650 can mow my father in laws 4 acres, move snow in the winter, move dirt, backhoe out root balls, move #2 limestone by the 10 ton, back blade trails, box blade gravel driveway, lift me to trim trees and handle dump trucks of bust out every day.

250 hours in 8 months and going strong. I don't need a stinking skid steer.

Pretty impressive work for a small tractor..

If anyone wants to strengthen the cutting edge they can get a bolt on cutting edge for a B26 and use it. You have to get the bolts as well and drill holes through the existing cutting edge but it fits perfectly. This is what I did. It will reduce your lifting capacity but I wasn’t concerned with that as I mostly use the tractor for snow removal. I added the cutting edge mostly for wear resistance. This is on the 60 bucket.

That is exactly what I did for the same reasons..

Great tip. If ordering tractor new your dealer could probably just order the b26 bucket from the factory.
I would think it would be cheaper than ordering everything separately and your time involved putting it on.

Actually I didn't do it to my stock bucket, I bought a "worksaver" SSQA for my loader and bought a bigger CA bucket that had the holes for the cutting edge drilled already..

Cool.
I thought about that when I ordered my b2650.
If you don’t mind having a black bucket you could just skip the kubota bucket all together.
There are cheaper aftermarket ones that are better built.
It all comes down to how much lift capacity you want to give up

I don’t think most dealers would want to do this. I would think the B26 bucket is quite a bit bigger and heavier and wouldn’t be recommended for use on a B2650. YMMV.

Agreed,
Just went to build my kubota and the price isn’t to nice anyway
