B2630 TLB

[Devildog]

Well I take delivery on a b2630 TLB on thursday. I hope my trusty b7500 finds a nice new home. I did a lot of research and was also considering the kioti ck 25 but couldnt find a place close by to check one out. My kubota dealer is right up the road from work /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif I ended up getting the whole setup with tootbar and a bunch of extra welded on accessories for $21,500 I also got $9500.00 tradein on my 2001 b7500

I was looking for a backhoe unit for my 7500 but had wanted to upgrade so I thought it was a great deal and got the approval to do it. Looking forward to getting it and will post some pics. Take care all, Jim

Will do on the pics. I called today and they were installing the backhoe. said it might be delivered Fri. I havent seen a lot on the forum about the 2630 so hopefully I can help out if anyone has questions.

The list is already piling up for the backhoe /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif Take Care, Jim

Havent really had time to work her hard yet but with what little time I have had I am very impressed with this machine. Take care all, Jim

Jim, interesting placement of the FEL control lever. Most every Kubota I've closely examined and/or worked that had the FEL valve mounted on loader had the knob for the FEL in line with the center of the steering wheel such that the knob is directly to the right of the center of the wheel and slightly above it. Most also have the lever running on a horizontal plane, yet at least what it appears from the photo, yours is forward of the center of the steering wheel and the lever is sticking straight up vertically.

I wonder if that is going to set a trend for Kubota on their new models?

 

[Devildog]

Bob,
Sorry about that but I had the stick locked up in the free float notch. When dropped down where it should of been it come back more towards the operator.

So I spent all that time staring at that picture and analysing it for nothing /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif Oh well.

At least I won't have to wonder why Kubota made a change because I was really wondering why it looked so different. Apparently it is not much different at all, but the photo fooled me. That sort of reaffirms the concept that they are all in the right spot since they didn't change them.

Great pictures. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thanks.

That's a nice looking machine, and a good price. Thanks for the photos - I've been curious to see the 2630 as a TLB.

 

[SkyPup]

That is a good deal on a great machine!

The list is already piling up for the backhoe Take Care, Jim

I'm hoping that list isn't closed yet, because I've some work for you /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Wow how much would have that been minus the BH? I was considering one of those instead of my TC24 but the prices I was getting were crazy high. I assume that makes it around $15000-$16000 without the BH. Dang that's a nice looking machine.

 

[Devildog]

Chuck,
I was looking at the paper work and the price he gave me was as a package. He has all the equipment listed but no break down in prices. The final total came out to $21,610.00 If they didnt give me as much as they did for my B7500 I wouldnt of did the deal. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
