Not much info out there on the B2650 Cab.

Todds112 · Jan 11, 2014

Been looking everywhere and not seeing much info out there. Limited supply or maybe not selling that well?

The last few days of snow blowing really, really have me wanting a cab tractor. I currently have a B2320 and like the size of it. Plus I figure I can keep my implements I already have. I would have to upgrade my snow blower to hydraulic shute rotation.

I try to avoid new models on anything. I figure I'll let them get the bugs ironed out, then start looking seriously next year. Hopefully there will be more reviews and posts from happy owners by then!

I went to the web site and checked it out. I think it is fantastic that Kubota finally added a 12volt accessory plug. My 2010 cabbed B3030 didn't come with one. I had to add one for a whooping $10.

Kubota has been building cab compact tractors longer then anyone, so nice in the winter! It's one of my favorites as it is a good size with deluxe features and by passing the added costs of the tier four engine.

My dealer has a few B2650's because they have no dpf muffler. Told me the 3350's with dpf's are having lots of issues.
I liked them, but can buy a lot of warm jackets for the price over my B2620.

Do the new B2650s not have the DPF? I thought all current-edition tractors had them, period.

The 2650 is non DPF...the 3350 is DPF..Was told that 26hp and below do not need DPF.

I took delivery of a new B2650 a couple of weeks back, equiped with front 62" snow blower and rear box blade. (also a FEL)

Well that is interesting. If I ever get another tractor it would be a small B (or something equivalent). Did the smaller tractors avoid the tier 4 price hike?

There is one on the lot of my dealer. I stopped and looked it over. I REALLY like the layout of the controls, the upgraded 3 point hitch (telescopic, ratchet leveling, etc.). I like the 1 piece hood design too. I made sure there were no salesmen around so I wouldn't be tempted to "deal". Looking forward to more reviews and opinions on the B2650.

I looked one over several months ago, and it seemed real nice.

You may not like it, but I'll share with you my experience when I went to look at the B2650. Coming from a dusty noisy B3030 cab that I owned for 5 years, I thought there was not much of an improvement over the B3030 to justify 35K with backhoe, The now less HP engine and the redesign of the roof of the cab. I was disappointed. The cab is better then the B3030 and clearly going to be less dusty, a little closer to the Grand L cabs but
I just didn't think there was as much as an improvement as I was looking for. It also had plastic rear fenders I didn't like, a dull orange color.

That being said, I was coming from a B3030 cab and wanted something better. I had a 30 hp why do I want a 26 hp. If someone is coming from an open station or a BX your opinion would be different.
Here are some pictures I took at the time, I drove it around the yard, after sound proofing my B3030 I thought mine was a little quieter, then I drove a Grand L cab 3240 . I went home with the Grand L. I hated to get a bigger tractor but I was sold on the transmission and the quiet sound in the cab of the 3240. I wanted something better then my B3030 not something less or the same as I had. Also the price at the time the B2650 with backhoe was just as much as the L3240 with backhoe.

So I made a larger opening in my garage and installed a larger garage door. I'll go back to smaller one day If they make a BX with a factory cab or a different B cab tractor.

Also I don't like the looks of the 60 series. so it was buy the 40 series now before there gone or not get a new tractor at all this time around.
Again if your not coming from a B3030cab The B2650 will look very nice to you. If your coming from a B3030 cab it's not nice enough, but still better then the B3030 cab
