- "``Under North Carolina law, farm tractors are required to have one front white light as well as a rear red light that is visible for up to 500 feet. Two red reflectors that are at least four inches in diameter can replace the rear red light.`` You will also notice a SMV (slow-moving vehicle) sign on the rear end of most farm equipment seen moving up and down the roads. The current SMV sign is a solid orange triangle during the day but appears to be a hollow red triangle at night. Currently in North Carolina the SMV sign is not required to be on every piece of farm equipment although it is encouraged.

From talking with Dad, it sounds like he has settled on the Kubota B2650 as the tractor of choice. It sounds like he's going to expect me to be the primary one that maintains it, so I need to start digging into the details of Maintaining and Operating a Tractor in general, and the B2650 in particular. It looks like a good tractor. I know Grandpa used to have a similar model of Kubota at his home in New Hampshire. He used it to plow his drive in the winter and mow the grass in the spring and summer. His read tires were filled with water in the winter to add weight/traction.
According to the Documentation, if a Backhoe is used with the Kubota B2650, any liquid in the tires must be removed first.
Dad has been talking about
- Roll Bar (no Cab)
- 4x4
- Hydrostatic Transmission
- Weighted tires
- Front loader
- Three point quick hitch in the rear
- Scraper Blade
I don't know if he is considering a Back Hoe or a Bush Hog.
Information
- The B2650 is a Category 1 Hitch tractor.
