My kubota B2320 was delivered today...have hydraulic question

Wonder what the original owner did to accumulate the hours? Certainly didn't use the loader much.

Great looking tractor!!!! If doing a lot of loader tasks I'd suggest loading the rear tires.

Yes, I had the dealer fill the rear tires. I also have a King Kutter 3 point scoop that weighs about 270lbs, with a couple bags of 50lb cement that should keep me near the ground.

He traded it in with that rotary cutter and a box blade, so that's probably what he did mostly. I didn't buy the rotary cutter. I would have liked to, but I needed the other attachments more. I have a 4' finish mower (that I sometimes use as a bush hog) and I already had a box blade.

You'll also get comfortable with the narrow track after a few hours. When I'm doing loader work my right hand is ALWAYS on the joystick. Can't count the number of times I've had to slam the loader to the ground to prevent a tip over. Good for blood circulation!!!

Looks like he got a real nice deal on a good tractor and found that he has a decent dealer as well.
When traveling with a load in the bucket, keep it as low as you can without it catching on the ground.

Yes, I kept an eye on their website that showed their used equipment and I'd go by there on a regular basis. It was on one of these in person visits that I saw this tractor. They had just took it on trade. I've lost deals because I thought about it too long, so I moved fairly quickly on this one. They had a BX23 with a backhoe that was in great shape with very low hours, but I liked this one better and I was able to get the implements I wanted for less than the BX.

ovrszd, I did the same thing...kept my hand on the joystick. Once or twice I had to do as you've done and drop the bucket to keep it from tipping. And rScotty...I did keep the bucket as low to the ground as I could. Doing these two things really helped to reduce the seat suction factor.
