Funny you should say that, I just had that thought today and looked up the specs. It won't go in, not even close. Maybe a 54" will, but I'm not sure about that either! Having watched a few videos, worst case maybe I could disconnect the deck and put it in the bed of my pickup with the loader...

Yeah 8x5. Driving around small Cotswold villages means anything much bigger is a nightmare. That said, it has wheel arches on the side rather than under it. I did consider a 10x6 flatbed could perhaps be a better bet. We've got roads around here where the mirrors of my Hilux need to be folded in...

I've just noticed the 2150 is about a foot longer than the 2400. It won't fit in my trailer! :cry: Looking at slightly smaller machines, the B7500 seems nice. I probably should have titled this "help me choose a good little compact". Time for a new topic I think!

That is true. But if I can decrease the cycle rate of the ram that's no bad thing. A lot of the small engined splitters use a two stage pump - they deliver high volume at low pressure until that pressure needs to increase to do the work, then they deliver low volume at high pressure. There's...

Also worthy of note is the flow rate of the hydraulics. B2150 - 28lpm, B2400 - 22lpm. That may be the difference between the expense and hassle of a PTO pump or being able to run a small hydraulic log splitter from the tractor system.

Some reassuring info there, thanks guys. I've been watching a few videos on Youtube and it looks like it'll probably cope with all I want to do with it. I may get a little Igland 2001 log winch to go on it, and a log grab for the front. There are a couple of guys doing similar stuff to what I...

Hi guys. I'm looking to buy a Kubota B2400HST for general mowing work, front end loader stuff and some light log hauling in the woods. I'd probably like to also run a small chipper and log splitter, as well as a saw bench. Have we got many owners of this tractor here? I'd really appreciate your...

Thanks. I'll give that a try

Hi chaps. The brakes on my B4200 have started making the most horrible grinding noise when I apply them and the tractor seems to want to pull to one side. I think it's possible the the shoes have worn out? If that's the case, how do I go about changing them? Is it a simple process or one that I...

Hey guys. I'm quite keen to make a few implements for my tractor but don't really know where to start. I need a loader but I think that's perhaps a bit complicated, so I'm thinking of making a saw bench. Has anyone done this? I know the old models with the free blade sticking up through a table...

Hi chaps. I've decided to start looking for a loader for my B4200. The Kubota site lists the B1620 as the correct fitment but there is also a B1630 and B1640. Would these be too big to fit my tractor or just not ideal? I'm thinking I could fit smaller rams if it's too powerful but would fit? I...

Hi guys. I picked up my new to me Kubota B4200 today - it looks to be in nice condition and everything seems to work ok. There are a few things I'd like to do with it though and I'm not sure how simple it will be? For a start I want to take off the ROPS so I can tidy it up. It looks to be an...

Hey guys. Would anyone happen to know where I could find an online manual for my Kubota B4200 in English? I've found a french one on Kubota.fr but as I don't speak French I can only pull basic info from it. I've got a paper copy on order from the states but I'd really like to have a rough idea...

Hi guys. As you may have seen in my first post in the new members section, I've just bought myself a B4200. I haven't got it home yet but it is promised to be in good working order with no leaks or problems. The tractor comes with a 40" mid mounted deck and I plan to use it for mowing a...
