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

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 snow from his drive in the winter and mow the grass in the spring and summer. His rear 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 and the quick hitch cannot be used for it. Not sure yet if this applies to any other implements.

Dad has been talking about

  • Roll Bar (no Cab)
  • 4x4
  • Hydrostatic Transmission
  • Weighted tires (Apparently ONLY the rear tires are weighted on the B2650. Front weight might also be a good idea to have available eventually.
  • Front loader (LA534?)
  • Three point quick hitch in the rear (things I've read indicate that while there is a "standard" for quick hitches, not all implements from all vendors will work on all tractors. Apparently it has to do with width of the pins, and the ability to hook the upper link from underneath. Some implements have a bolt a few inched below the upper arm link point. I guess I need to read the standard to understand if it's going to relate to when an implement was designed or if there really is variability in the standard.)
  • Scraper Blade

I don't know if he is considering a Back Hoe or a Bush Hog or if these implements can be rented as needed.

Information

  • The B2650 is a Category 1 Hitch tractor.
