Dad's looking for a Kabota tractor for the Farm.

Maintenance Activities

Kabota Models

Documentation

Operational Tips

Parts and Upgrades for B2650

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.
