Step on a B2920?

Jim75 · Mar 25, 2013

I'm getting a little older and my hip doen't move as it once did. Has anyone ever installed a step on a B2920? Kubota doesn't offer one for this model. Has anyone every used a step from a different model without much modification? I'm not a welder so I can't fabricate one. I weigh about 280 so the step and it's support would have to be pretty stout. Thanks for any suggestions you may be able to offer.

This is how I mounted the one I made. It well hold you, and only had to drill one hole, you can see it in the picture.
I don't have a MMM for it, so don't know if it work or not on yours. Maybe you can get some ideals from it.

Per the current Kubota price book:
OPTIONAL STEP (for B-30 Series and B3200)&#56256;&#56422;
6A700-51350 Step (Must order bolts 01125-50816)

A few years ago I bought a pair of chrome steps for a pickup truck. I believe I paid around $20 or $30 for the two of them. Any Auto parts store should have them. Here are some but higher priced and it's for 2. Probably will have to buy 2 to get them. I think I want one for myself and I'll start looking. I'll check Ebay to.

Thanks for all the great ideas.

The one I built for my dad posted by TrippleR working out real well. My Dad has knee trouble and has a hard time climbing on and off his tractor. I'm going to make another one for my B 7800. When I use my dads tractor I use that step myself all the time.

Timber,

I think I will try to find someone local to make one like that for me. Thanks so much for sharing your idea.

Your welcome, I spent some time looking for a step because my dad was having a real tough time. The only one I saw was on the grand L. I actual just looked at that and jumped on it at the Kabota dealer Monday and I was not impressed with it at all. It could be because the one I made seems so much sturdier. I made it with a sawzall, 1/2 inch drill and a welder. Most of the parts came from Walmart & Lowes. The box tube you'll need to get at a steal supply. It didn't take long to put it together. I,m spending the weekend down my dads for the Easter holiday weekend, I'll take all the measurements for you if you like. Let me know if you have any questions or additional pictures you might like to help someone fab it up.
