They are between the loader mount and the hood. I will take a pic when I get back.

Drive over mower deck, not sure, many have told me not to do it.

I just raise the front up with the loader and pull the mower out from the right side, very easy to do on a cement floor. I don't think you will hurt the deck driving over it though.

I suggest getting the small cup dollies and putting one under each anti-scalp wheel. The mower drags in/out from under the tractor with ease. As others have said, lift the front of the tractor with the loader... so much easier. My B2620 had a drive-over deck. Never used it. On my BX2670, I've tried it, and it is the cats meow. Remember, if you drive over, DON'T do it with the loader on. The weight will likely cause damage to the deck.

Nice machine, looks just like my new one!

Very nice. I really like the snow blade. Do you have chains for it?

Do you have chains for it?

Good point, I found my industrial tires to be *very* slippery on snow and ice but I now just switch to turf tires for winter.

I never used chains on th 7510. I plowed downhill on the drive and never had a problem on the flat.

I notice the power difference right away. The control for the loader valve seems to be a plus what little I've used the loader so far. The rocker foot pedal will take some getting used to over the heel and toe pedals. Hood and grill is all one piece, easier access to clean the radiator. New mount for loader, no bar to dent hood. Better placement of the left side controls. I always caught on the ones on the B7510 when getting off. Drive over mower deck, not sure, many have told me not to do it. I don't like the location of the front remotes.
More to come as I have more seat time.

Why wouldn't you take advantage of the drive over mower deck feature? That is one of the reasons I bought mine. I drive on and off it many times throughout the summer with my loader on and it doesn't hurt anything.

Every one I talked to including the dealership was afraid it may cause premature cracking in the deck. Your the first person I've talked to that has used the drive over feature. Thanks for the input.

I'm seriously considering buying a B2650 with a 6' drive over deck.

Is premature deck cracking common on all brands of drive over decks, just unique to Kubotas, or just B2601/2301?

Anyone know who Kubota sources their decks from?
