CA: Kubota Review by Michael from Niles, MI (1/5 stars) In March of 2020

In March of 2020 I bought a B2601 Tractor and ordered the backhoe attachment. It is Now Dec 2022 still no backhoe attachment and Kubota says they don't know when I will get it and cannot offer any updates. If Kubota would have told me this when I purchased, I wouldn't have spent 18k on equipment I cannot use for my intentions. Kubota had no problem at all taking my money for something I cannot us

Purchased a brand new Kubota B2601 HSD-1 4-wheel drive tractor to use at a golf range to push a golf ball picker. At the two year mark, the tractor stopped running completely. We contacted the dealer, Crystal Tractor in Leesburg, FL and they directed us to send the tractor to Sebring Florida for service. This cost $677 to transport the tractor there. At Sebring, they told us that we had a drivetra

Hydraulic Oil Level..Can’t Read the Stick
low

I recently bought a Kubota B2601 with only 48 hours on it…saved $10k off new but that beside the point. I put ten hours on it then noticed hydraulic fluid on the gravel the next day. It was easy to trace the problem and an easy fix. I have no idea how much leaked out but it was a two foot wide circle. I have tried and tried to read the dip stick but it is impossible for me to tell the level. Clear liquid on a yellow stick. I added about a quart and still can’t tell. Any advice?

3 point hitch doesn't move until lever is at 5
low

New Kubota B2601. The 3 point hitch control lever has a range of 1 through 8. The control lever does nothing from 1-4. Once I hit 5 the hitch starts to raise. This issue occurs with and without implements. I've contacted my dealer who tested their other B series tractors and said all of them do this. I've contacted Kubota who says contact my dealer. Any suggestions most welcome.

B2601 FEL question
low

So I have a bit of a conundrum. I have a friend that has a bunch of black dirt he needs moved off his property, and my only way to get the kubota there is to put it in a 10 ft long dump trailer. The problem is, historically I've used my box scraper as a ballast weight while doing FEL work, but I won't have room to fit it with the tractor. I figured worst case I'd get a bucket and see how it feels and maybe go light on a few buckets, but wasn't sure if anyone had ballast less experience on this tractor.
