I have a Kubota B2601 for 3 years. One of the least talked about features is the twin brakes. I use them a lot for positioning the tractor or implement in tight places competition doesn’t have that. Also the 3 range transfer case is important feature competitors don’t offer.

Still in production... Just got home from the dealership and our new B2601 is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow with .4hr on it. We only have 2 acre in southern Arkansas, but intend to build a fish pond and take on several landscaping projects. I've been DIGGIN for Con's on this tractor and am having a hard time finding them!!! Thank you so much for your video. Great quality and content!

Kubota has a step that goes on the B2650 & fits B2601 with same pre drilled holes. I bought one & installed in less than 5 minutes. Game changing for us 50+ yr old guys! Love it. Check into it👍

My dad had a tractor like this one. Loved his Kabota! Such a great tractor. thanks for sharing brother! Brings back memories

Bought the step that fits the B2650 from my Kubota dealer. Easy to install....works great. I don't remember how $ it was but it wasn't terrible. Love my B2601. It was the perfect choice for my 7 acres in central North Carolina

David, best description of Kubota is Dependable! Before we sold our cattle, All Kubota M5-091, Mx-5100, B2620, B7100 all bullet proof 🚜👍🏼🇺🇸

Great review. Thanks!

Hello Dave, I own a B 2601 and the first thing I did was purchased a EZ step from Paul Short. His company is in Canada called Specialty Repairs and Custom Mods. This is the best thing I ever bought. I had a knee Put in and struggled to get on the tractor. The number one con taken care of. I tried the Kubota step from the B 2650 too much deflection. Paul’s step is solid.

Hello David, I retired down here on 5.5 acres in Central Oregon about four years ago after living in Seattle for 11 years. I purchased a new 3301L series Kubota at the time and have really enjoyed it. I had a lot of sage brush on my property along with Juniper trees. Although I do not have a grapple, I did use the front loader and box blade to clear the property. I found that I did not use the LandPride brush hog that came with the tractor and ended up selling the brush hog. My seat did not come with the arm rests that yours did, but it did come with a seat belt that I continuously use while on the hills at my property. I also purchased a pair of LandPride pallet forks that have frequently come in handy and can lift up to 1200 pounds. My tractor currently has 200 hours on it and I have never had any problems. Just make sure you keep up with the maintenance schedule, which includes greasing the grease fittings every 10 hours of usage. Your channel was recommended by DIY My Way. Good video - Cheers!

You did a very good review on your Kubota compact..... covered everything I can think of..... I have the extra step and now That you said it....I appreciate having it..... I had rented a Kubota before I bought the John Deere and the bis plus for me was the two peddle forward, reverse....to each there mown....enough said.....CHEERS

Such a great review! Thank you

Like I mentioned before David I have owned and operated tractors most my life you are so correct these kubota's are work horses they are built tough love your videos

Love my B2601!! Nice video.

Great video sir 👍🏻, you have a great setup and a sweet tractor, congrats. I know Ed installed a grab handle on the loader mount and I’m sure he has a video on it. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

I have a BX approaching 50 hours. I love it other then feeling tippy. I wish I had additional hydraulic for a grapple but I see there are some that are now electric. I’m really surprised I have not damaged my loader with what I put it through. I have 4 acres and at the time of purchase I felt the B was too big for what I need. And so far the BX is just right. I did add a canopy with a fan that blows down on to the operator, that was a great investment, not only keeps me cool but helps keep the skeeters away.

I Agree Best Tractor for me too. Another Great video David and for narrow trails its perfect. Great content and audio. See you on the next one : )

Good thorough video here, We considered a b series but didnt need the mid pto so went with the l2501 for small tractor.

Great video. Solid review

Hello David, Just found your channel, I look forward to watching your other videos. We love our B2601 as well. Our grapple is arriving next week, can't wait. You will love the step. I bought the step for the B2650, and it fits perfectly, the holes are already there on your tractor. GP Outdoors has a nice video on the kubota step, and gives you the bolt size you will need to pick up. I think a grab handle on the loader arm might be my next project. All the best, Ben from Nova Scotia

Enjoying your content, David. I came up with a few more cons than you, but I do love the B2601! My understanding is that the B series is still in production. The LX replaced the B2650 & B3350. I hope they keep making it too!Looks like we can talk shop about video production. Really nice job. -Ed

Good stuff, thanks. 7:03 PM Stanwood WA

B2601 is still being made :) Fellow owner with 150 hrs. on mine. LX replaced the the B2650 and B3350 I believe :)

Excellent review

What a great video! And I also like the other one where you show how you are using the grapple. My boyfriend and I bought 46 acres mostly wooded area but also with about 6 acres of open apple orchard and grass land. We are struggling with the decision if we should get a small Steiner tractor, which is very good for mowing on steep hills because it has a very low center of gravity. The Kubota 2601 is also rather low to the ground, but not quite as low and we think it probably doesn’t manage wetland quite as well as the Steiner does. So I was very happy to hear from you that you have some very hilly terrain to work on and it seems you are doing well with it. And just like you, we have a lot of logging work and therefore would probably use the grapple quite a bit. And we would like to cut some trails through the mountain laurels and seeing your trails is just so amazing! Did you do all that with the York rake? Also, your forest is just so beautiful! What a beautiful piece of property!

pretty much spot on with your observations. The reason I never put a step is that the ones O've see from Kubota have to much flex on the step which I don't like. I'mnot really that big at 195 lbs but like sturdy things and it does not appear sturdy. Italso does not tick out far enough when getting off for me. I am 68 and yes it's a little bit annoying. I use the handle to pull on when gettin on and when geting off thinking if I were to slip at least I have a grip on something. A tool box that is pretty useful would have been nice. Been looking at a rather nice one at Harbor freight but not sure. I am very stringly considering put extensions on my tires so I have a bit more stability. I to have hills to climba nd it has left my butt puckering sometimes and i swear my tire may have come off the ground once or twice and my loader was down as far as you could get it. Overall I am pretty happy with it. May consider a stump bucket, brush hog, forks and Hoe.

Thank you! I have a bx now and want to upgrade to b2601

Only problem I had with treadle pedal on my New Holland TC26DA was ice getting under the heel in winter, and it happened often and quickly when plowing snow.. I liked it otherwise but have gotten used to the dual pedal on my bigger tractor. You might want to put something in the ends of that open loader beam to keep wasps out in the summer. Just about anything that plugs 'em up should do the trick.

How's she goin'? Great video!!! I have a sub-compact Massey Ferguson GC2300 and I think it a great machine, but the size of the B series Kubotas, (and the 1500 series Masseys LOL) are what I think is just about perfect. The bigger wheels and tires and added stability makes it a goof fit for properties like yours. Nice review and very honest and open. Thanks for dong this and take care!!!

Very well done David, great information, these tractors are worth every penny. I hope Kubota isn't getting rid of the 01 series. Like you said the LX is just a little too big. Curious what editing program you are using? I've been using my phone to film and edit. Works OK but I need to get some real cameras. Keep up the awesome work. Take care and all the best. Kyle

Good channel. Cons for me are that it’s tippy, might put on spacers as I don’t use the mower. I think I’ll get the step too. Also the lights could be improved. I do like the tractor through. Keep up the good work!

I wish I would have gone with the B2601. I bought a BX2380 because I mostly use it to mow the lawn with the occasional use of the loader and 3 point. Tractor works very well and I do love it, but it has 49.5 hours on it and it is back at the dealers for a third time already.

I have the same tractor my only complaint is the loader is pretty weak for digging hard material luckily I have a skid-steer for when I really need it

Look into getting a step, my New Holland has one and a big help.

Hi Dave, I'm at 100 hrs too with my 2601. I'm also interested in a step but having no luck in finding one. If u have any luck in finding one, let me know. I'm also happy with the tractor too. Thanks. Jason

So I have to ask. The production value is damn good. I noticed the studio lights and green screen back at your shop. Do you have some type of video production background?

Hi David, I just came across your channel and appreciate the great content. I have 7 hilly, partially forested acres in SW Washington and am shopping for my first tractor. May I ask what dealer you used? Thanks!

Kubota B2650 step bolts right on the B2601. Holes are already there for the step. Cost around $50 from Kubota dealer.

Like you video very informative. If you can say was wondering about how much did it cost my dad bought a L2601 and paid around 18000 was wondering what it cost for a little smaller kubota

A step from a B2650 bolts right on and isn’t to expensive. However it will not work with a mid mount mower as it will interfere with the deck.

Kubota should also address the need for a more protective grill/radiator protection. It’s very ez to put a log thru the front of your tractor.

Hi there, I’ve got similar property to you as far as hills and trees. I’m looking at getting a tractor but my main concern is to make sure I get something that can handle hills. What is he steepest grade you use the tractor on?

I’m waiting on my B2601 to deliver, great video thanks. I also have very hilly property and aim to stay upright. Do you have a video specifically driving around hills and at times across them? Wonder what angle you can safely traverse without a load!

If you want a great cheap option. Get yourself a steering wheel spinner knob.Trust me you will love it. Less than $20 .

Can the pto reverse?

The l x series is replacing the b2650 and the b3350

B2650 step bolts Rite on and cheap.

Wow no grill guard🥺😢

The back wheels are too close together. Kubota should widen the rear gear by 3 inches on each side. This tractor will tip easily.
