2018 Kubota B2650 initial review and thoughts.

I've had my new 2018 Kubota B2650 for a week now and have put 8.5 hours on it. This is my first impression thoughts on the machine. If you have any specific questions that you'd like me to cover in a video, let me know in the comments.

Sweet Kubota Larry! Nice review, glad you joined the orange club. Kubota has been is business for over 100 years and make all there own parts and attachments. Kubota= Quality.

I like your review.
I purchased a B2650 3 years ago with the Cab. I like the tractor, however I noticed that it is too easy to tip over. This exactly what happened to me after only 5 hours on the machine. I've had numerous close calls ever since.
I did not know that wider tires are available for this machine which is something that I'm definitely going to look into. Perhaps wider tires in the back will help stabilize the machine a lot more as opposed to looking at buying a larger more stable machine.

I made the mahindra mistake! Got a plan to upgrade to exactly what you have! Nice tractor

Nice tractor larry. I'm glad for you on your new tractor.

Nice video! I’m waiting to get the same tractor but with a cab

I just had my 2650 delivered yesterday. I didn't get a seat with armrests! Did you pay extra for it? I dont have a backhoe setup, but it's delux and Ive seen 2601s with armrests... really dissapointed with that part. Nice video

Larry, I’m having issues with my dealer ordering with larger wheels. Who was you salesman again at what dealership? Also, have you measured your machine length wise with loader and backhoe attached? I am looking at ordering a dump trailer that I can haul mine around in. I would prefer to order a 14’ price wise, but will get a 16’ if needed to fit the tractor fully equipped with implements. Thanks for your assistance and informative videos.

I agree, that seat issue would tick me off too.

[tomlehmann]

That width issue is what has discouraged me from getting one of these. I have a 24hp b 7610 I bought new in 2006 it has an adjustable rear track which I run all the way at the widest setting. My farm is steep and I thought the 2650 sits awfully tall for that narrow wheelbase. The suspension seat is what I was after. The seat on the 7610 is killing me. Otherwise its been fantastic. Little torque monster.

Is this tractor under powered? Thanks

Nice tractor Larry, I have the same tires on my 2650. One thing I have noticed is that the 3 point hitch doesn't drop low enough due to the added height. Using the inward set of holes on the lower links can cause them to bend. Especially if using a box blade in reverse. I wonder if they have longer arms on the 3350 with the optional big tires.

[erpop]

Nice Review. Love the stance of the larger tires. I think this is the tractor I'm going to buy. Do you know for certain that both the 60 and 72 mid-mount mower decks will rub those larger tires even with steering stops?

[DukeMaster]

Aren’t those the R4 tires? The Kubota site shows them available for BOTH the 2650 and the 3350.

[horseblinderson]

Does anyone know if there's an even wider tire option for the 33 or is that tractor still an EGR emissions systems mess?

[CB-pmic]

do you have any 3 point attachments and mower deck? you run the mower deck off the 3 point hitch, so you cant have the mower deck and use the attachments on the back as far as i know. i just got my 2650 the end of last year, the mower deck is around 400 pounds, not fun to keep muscling around every time you want to do another chore. these have the same motor as our old bx-25d so there is no power difference

[dtuer]

FYI, BX has a 3-point hitch lowering speed knob

Hey Larry, wanted to give you a heads up. My dealer is installing my BH77 using the B2650 Cab Tractor sub frame so that I can keep my suspension seat and have a dedicated seat for my backhoe. I saw a picture of the B2650 Cab tractor with a hoe on it, and asked if it was possible to use the Cab tractor sub frame and he said yes. Maybe see if you can make that change to yours?

[donaldcrossley]

I just talked to the Kubota Dealer this afternoon and was informed that the backhoe option was not available on the B2650, but that is obviously not true. They told me that the B2650 frame was aluminum and would not take the stress of a backhoe???

[jasond]

Did you ever get your mower issue resolved? I am looking at getting this exact setup however I will only be using a 60 inch brush hog. I do not want it to die going up hill.
