Replacement for B2910

[Henro]

I can't help but think that a replacement for the B2910, in today's market, should have curved loader arms and a drooping hood similar to what the competition has...

Maybe a little more beef here and there as well, but like it or not...marketing is marketing...and the curved arms/engine cover seems to be current state of the art...perception sells tractors...

Total guess, but I would not be sureprised... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Stopped by the dealer to check on an attachment.
Asked about the replacement 2910.
The Kubota dealers meeting is the last week of the month.
Asked what he new about the changes. He said that most are rumors. But I'll list them anyways.
1. Factory Cab with heat & A/C.
2. Dash Similar to Grande L.
3. More Horsepower. Up to 3 more.
4. Price will be similar to current model.

The items I would like to see are
1. Better Hydraulics.
2. Improved FEL capacity and height.
3. Sloped Hood.
4. Built in Valves and ports for TOP and Tilt and other asserories.
5. Compatibility with current MMM and other attachments for the B27-2910 & B7800.
6. Quick Attach for Loader.

In 3 weeks we should have the information we are looking for.

I spoke with my dealer today about the changes and he said he was going to a meeting Saturday and would know all the new specs and changes by Monday morning. He said that they were making some changes to several models but just didn't know all the specs yet. He did say they quit making the B2910 and the new models have been in production for awhile.... so he will see the new models almost immediately after the meeting. He did say that the new B2910 model number was a 3XXX?
I guess I will know more monday. I think I can wait until then /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Be sure to post whatever you find out, I'm looking forward to it. I have also been looking at the B2910 and was hoping Kubota would make some improvements I'm interested in. Thanks.

Well I talked to my dealer again this morning and he did give me some info on the newer models coming out. All he could tell me for now was that the B2910 will be replaced by a new 3030 model and will be styled after the L models. The loader will be a LA403 and backhoe a B875. He said they did not get any kind of literature yet and as soon as he did he would tell me more. He said they did not have a model for them too look at like they normally do during these meetings. He also said they may wait until March to release it until most of the older models are gone. Unfortunatly for him he only has one B2910 left and after its gone he won't have much to sell until then.
I was also told that the B2410 and B2710 are gone and will be replaced by a 2630 model. He wasn't sure if it was a smaller frame than the 3030 or the same size frame and less horsepower.
Prices will be close to what they are now.... maybe an increase of $600 to $700. And a price difference of $1000 between the 2630 and the 3030.
So thats all I could get... /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I tried....but he didn't have any numbers yet on lift capacities or anything and couldn't tell me if the loader was curved or not.
One last thing he said was that the B7800 was staying in the line-up as an economy model.
So I guess we will have to wait some more. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
