Yes, just like the setup on the new B2650.

I used my BH77 backhoe with my new b2650 today for the first time, and let me tell you, that dog will hunt. It was a pleasure to dig up the stumps that have been on my nerves for years. Finally the one that is the worst tried to lacerate my liver while i was on the mower, and today I dug it up. The satisfaction is palpable.

Yes, that looks like a very nice setup! Also, I'm glad to hear you really like the backhoe as I just ordered one myself. Seems like it's going to be really useful from the sound of it.

I recommend opting for the mechanical thumb attachment. I used it to pick up the stumps and put them on a trailer. It also works well for picking up logs.

Thanks for the advice. I am getting one. I had one for my B2620 and BH65, and as you said - it's invaluable on picking up stumps and rocks.

By chance, do you know how long the tractor is (end-to-end) from the backhoe to the front bucket? I'm curious if it's going to fit into my existing shed, or if I'll have to turn the backhoe when I park it. Thanks!

not exactly sure. I will surely measure tomorrow and post here.

18' 4" with the bucket flat and not turned down. .. also give or take an inch, I didn't have a helper and i did have a 16' tape.

Awesome! Thanks a bunch for taking the time to measure it for me. I think with the bucket quick attach, I'm probably going to be a few inches short for the parking spot in my shed. It's close enough that I shouldn't have to swing the backhoe by much to make it fit.

a day of digging out mesquite stumps.. a day of realizing that to make this dog really hunt I need a hydraulic thumb. A night of looking at Woods hydraulic kit for the backhoe. My problem is as follows...

(yes, i know i should call them tomorrow)

I have a BH77 backhoe.. this is for a different model.

but surely this can be easily done in my living room while she tells me it will 'never' work..

please take some time to check out this link and let me know if anyone has experience.

I'm thinking about the separate valve body, and how to integrate into the circuit so that I still have the detach convenience with the BH77 and the B2650.

Get in on the conversation over at this thread:

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/...20-bh77-has-anyone-considered-converting.html

There's a number of us looking to do the same thing. I've done some heavy investigation myself and I have a working plan in my head on how to do it - I'm just down to investigating where what to spec out for the individual components or how to build them.

Thank you!.. i found this thread.. this guy is good.. great explanations. http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/kubota-owning-operating/144579-bx-hydraulic-thumb-3.html

I keep staring at my BH77 and know I need to do this. I floated the idea today with the board of director.. she said, "NO." I am thinking i should have it done by the end of June.

Anybody know what a Kubota 2650 with backhoe goes for?

While I don't have numbers specifically for the B2650, I do have some early numbers I got from a local dealer for the B3350 that might be helpful to you. I don't believe they're actually discounted much if any though (since I did receive much better pricing from another dealer in my area):

Kubota B3350 Full Cab with R4 Tires - $26750
LA534 Front Loader - $2970
B2336 Grill Guard - $197
B2356 60" Bucket - $520
B2366 Skid Mount - $402
1st Lever Kit (remote valves) - $475
2nd Lever Kit (remote valves) - $260
B7304 Valve - $228
B7305 Valve - $287
B7302 3rd Function Valve - $765
BH77 Backhoe - $6365
BH4973 Sub Frame Backhoe - $875
Two L9467 Street Pads - $147
BT1952A 16" Bucket - $605

Unfortunately, I still haven't taken delivery of my B3350, so all I have is total price of what I will pay without any breakdowns at the component level yet. I'd post the total price, but since I have no way to breakdown the price based on what you're looking for it will be sort of meaningless the way I have it optioned (as it includes many other options such as snowblower, plow, etc. in the total package.)

Also, I did see a price on the net for a B2650, which I believe came with a 54" bucket and LA534 loader for a package price of $26,500. So you might be able to work off that number (based on the price list above) to get an idea for how much more the B2650 would be with the options you wanted.

Thank You ericdube,
I got a price for the 2650 today 21412.39 for the base tractor and everything else would be the same as you listed. So the B2650 is about 5300.00 less then the 3350.

Thinking of purchasing one, or just looking?

Just checking things out weighing my options, I like to start new again just not sure if this is an upgrade yet.

 

[Burtonbr]

I see the b2650 is up live on the kubota site now. You can build it for pricing but not the 3350 yet.

Compared to the MSRP from the site my local dealer is only dropping 9% from it, while most everything else is 15% below.

I finally received an update today on the B3350 that I ordered a while ago. While they should have shipped along side the B2650's, it looks like they're being delayed for at least another few weeks or longer (I wasn't really able to get a firm commitment on an actual delivery date.)

It looks like there's still some issues being worked out on the new Tier IV final emissions equipment thats found on the new B3350. I don't know much more than that right now.
