I just purchased a BX2380 with a front blower but didn't get the loader as I already have a B26. I have a 48" blade laying around I'd like to use on the 2380 but, even if I fabricate a mount, is the quick hitch strong enough for me to push things around?

I just pulled the trigger on a new BX2380 with a front mounted blower. Does anyone know if the tractor comes with all the three point hitch parts as standard equipment (like my B26) or do I have to buy a kit? I would have just used the Class 1 three point hitch from my B26 but I need it for...

My 1993 G1800 was still humming right along until the throttle cable broke just at the throttle lever. I bit the bullet and ordered a new cable assembly but the day before it arrived I had one of my (rare) bright ideas. Instead of replacing the whole cable assembly, why not just order 1/16"...

I'm starting to have a problem with my G1800 with 600 hours on it. I changed the battery, starter and starter switch last year when I started having intermittent starting problems. I finally had enough and took it to the dealer where they found a grounding problem. Things worked will till two...

I have a G1800 that only has 600 hours on it and I plan to keep the tractor for quite awhile. Winters are not getting any easier and I finally decided having snow blow back into my face just wasn't fun anymore. The only site I could find that listed cabs for my G1800 just says "discontinued"...

I'm the first to admit I should have looked harder when my G1800 wouldn't consistently start but here I am hanging my head in shame. :ashamed: It all started this past spring when the starter pinion gear wouldn't retract. I got by for the last few snow storms by manually pushing the gear back...

I need some help. My B26 with 500 hours has a problem with the high/Low transfer lever. I was blowing snow on a hill when I tried to go up the grade. The engine bogged down even though the lever was in mid range. I finally made it up the hill and then into my garage. When I looked, the transfer...

I just watched a YouTube video on another model of Kubota where the mechanic ran the engine when checking the HST fluid. That got me confused, I know checking engine oil with the engine running isn't a good idea, but HST? I've owned my B26 for six years and have always checked the HST with the...

I have a B26 with a 42" Pronovost snow blower. The blower is properly sized to the tractor but I'm having problems with my PTO shear bolts breaking. The PTO came with 6mm shear bolts which kept breaking even under light snow conditions. I drilled out the 6mm shear bolt hole hole to 1/4" as it...

What a tragedy, and just before Christmas. Although the article doesn't say what happened it may be the farmer got caught up in a spinning PTO shaft.:( Ottawa farmer has both arms severed in tractor accident - Ottawa - CBC News

I have a low hour G1800 that runs great but the G2546 blower is really starting to show its age. With the salt here in Ontario the blower is rusting out and I may not even make it through another winter. I checked with the dealer yesterday and the G2546 blower isn't available anymore. His only...

I was just reading in another post about the cost of floor mats and how some think they are getting hosed on the price of mats. I bought a used B26 that didn't have mats on either side of transmission hump. No great problems says I until the snow started flying and the bare metal floor became...

I realise this is a bit off the topic of tractors but there is some much knowledge out there on Kubotas that I thought I'd ask. I'm looking at buying a backup generator for my cottage. I've pretty well narrowed the field down to either a Generac propane fed generator or a Kubota GL1100 diesel...

I was doing routine maintenance on my B26 on the weekend when I noticed the left hand FEL retraction hydraulic line had some damage to the outer rubber layer near the connector on the cylinder end. Nothing is leaking and the wire braid seems intact. The tractor only has 365 hours on it but...

I have a B26 with a Pronovost Puma snow blower. I also have a gravel driveway and everytime I blew snow last year a piece of gravel or a piece of ice would break the shear bolt. OK, shear bolts are cheap but changing a small shear bolt in the dark, at -30c isn't fun. Can anybody give me some...

A dealer in St-Jerome, north of Montreal, Canada, just had four new B26s stolen off his back lot. Thieves cut through a chain link fence and stole the four tractors in one go. :mad: If you see a B26 being sold privately at a really low price, buyer beware.

I just used my Pronovost 52" Puma blower behind my B26 for the first time and I was like a kid with a new toy. Now, I really, really don't like winter but the Pronovost ALMOST makes snow clearing fun:). I have a 100 ft pretty steep gravel hill and four car gravel parking lot to clear. The...

I just bought a Pronovost 54" Puma snowblower which I'll run off a B26. Neither the Pronovost manual nor the B26 one gives a correct PTO or engine speed, The closest I found was "PTO speed # 1" whatever that is. Does anyone know what engine speed will give me safe blower operation, sort of a...

I have a B26 which I use in a rural area of Ontario. However, I do cross and sometimes drive for very short distances on public roads. Does anyone know what the legalities are? As an example, do I need a licence plate and in Ontario that likely means I also need liability insurance??:confused:

I bought a G1800 way back from Carriere et Poirier in Alfred, Ontario and was very satisfied with their service. I just bought a used B26 (300 hours) from them and their service again was great. My tractor developed a bad hydraulic leak on the tractor to backhoe line after seven hours of use...

I have to dig a 50 foot long 36" deep, trench on a gravel lane that slopes up and down at about 10 degrees. I'm getting my B26 next week :D and this will be one of the very first jobs I'll do with my new baby. I have little (read none) experience with a backhoe so what's the best and safest...

I finally convinced my better half that I absolutely had to have a tractor:p. Last week I put a deposit on a used B26 with a tad less than 300 hours. I know it's kind of the wrong time of the year to worry about snow blowers but up here in Canada we have eleven months of winter and a one month...

Does anyone know the dimensions of a B26? I'm looking at buying a B26 this spring and then buying a used 20' sea container to convert into a storage shed. The 20' seacan's internal dimension are: 7'8" wide (2.33m) 7'10" high (2.38m) Door height: 7'6" high. Total interior length: 19'4"...

This is a bit off subject but many of us use chain saws as well as our beloved Kubotas. I was asked over the weekend to help clear a walking trail of deadfalls and broken branches. I was tired from hauling dirt all morning (I haven't got my B26 yet but I'm working on it) but I still went...
