I just purchased a lx 2610 hst cab. I appreciate your videos, really helped educate me on this tractor. Gets delivered in 2 weeks, can't wait. Thanks kal.
looks like u need to build a big ole garage or barn for ur nice tractor, implements and the rest of ur toys, keep that stuff out of the elements when not needed!
If you want your chipper to set higher here is a suggestion. I have a Walenstein BX42 and mounted 4x6 pressure treated timber to the bottom on each side. Cut to length, drill holes in chipper, and bolt on.
Good Morning GP. Man that thing is sweeter today than the introductory vid... Thank you for the honorable mention...LOL. One real important thing to remember is if the un-stabilized three point shifts upward on a downward slope, especially traveling at an angle, the shifting weight can plunge you into a sidewards skid that can end catastrophically in a jack-knifed rig...or worse. The smaller the tractor, the easier it is to have it happen too !! You looked like a kid in a candy store with a pocket full of money the whole video....still chuckling.
@@ThomassEvo Good evening Sir, on a rear three point attachment on a tractor, their noting to keep the three point to lift if the trailer is pushing toward the tractor. That cylinder for the three point is not a double action ( up and down ) only up, so if the trailer is pushing toward the tractor the three point will lift and often with catastrophic failure !!! Do you understand Sir ? Cheers
Glad you're liking the new tractor Gord. Just for fun I went back and watched your first video. Hard to believe it will be 3 years this October !! It was nice to see how things have changed for you and your property . Your camera work and videos are among some of the best out there. Always enjoy it when I can start my day with a coffee and a GP Outdoors video. Cheers :)
Good morning and thanks Mr.G! LOL. Yup, I can't believe people watched those earlier ones - Geeez, not sure I would watch them. :)) Thanks so much - have a great week!
Hi have a 2501 I'm glad I got the standard shift transmission, I wish I would have got the agricultural tires and adjustable rims. You can easily adjust the rims so you don't need Wheel spaces when you install tire chains
I just went from a newer B2601 to a B2650 and noticed the HST whines A LOT more on the 2650 than my 2601. Sounds like your LX whines as much as my 2650...very nice machine
Nice new machine GP, I have two of the same B2650 tractors, one with cab and one without. Love them both, you will appreciate that cab every time you use it for sure. On the exhaust I installed an angled piece of radiator hose to deflect the exhaust away from the loader, the hose will flex in case you catch a root and there has been no damage to the hose from the exhaust.
Thanks J! And for the mod. I think I'll be ok because of that heat shield in front of the pipe. I am going to see how that goes. Thanks for the tip and all the best!
Ahhh nice!!! I wondered when u would get a bigger tractor or cab. Visibility is less but not freezing in winter is worth it. Kubota has the best cabs for small tractors! 26hp with a cab who would have thought.
That confined greenhouse you're sitting in, will quickly remind you to reach for the air/con switch when the sun starts shining through the cab. LOL. Great looking tractor you've got now.
You’re doing a great job with the changeover, get it set up for YOU. It’s looking good and you’re doing good with the operation of it. Thanks Gord for sharing with us and taking us along on your journey.
If you are going to weld legs on the chipper to raise it up a bit make sure you build them like little sled runners so that when you are driving in the bush (or where ever) that you don't catch a leg on a rock, stump or other high spot. Have fun with the new tractor.
LOL! Good morning ATR. Much different but I keep forgetting I have AC. LOL. I sit in there sweating and after a while realize I have it. Too funny. Have a great day!
Really nice tractor Gord! Those bigger tires will smooth out your ride. This new tractor has some neat features. That cab is going to be such a blessing, working in a conditioned airspace and keeping the bugs at bay. Thanks for going into such detail.
Hi GP,,,, I see you gone city on me..lol..Your new tractor looks nice . Hope you enjoy it.I have a b3200 had it about 13 years or so i also own 2 kubota zero turns, a comander an a zd21 mower an i also own 2 400 rtv's as you can tell i love Kubota products,, after watching you channel an was so impressed with your B2601 i bought me a new one in june with the backhoe so far i like it not to sure about the seat i'm having trouble turning the key switch off while on the backhoe part for safety.. I enjoy watching you from Tennessee it will be hard to get used to you being in that cab...I hope you enjoy your new tractor... Jimmie
Thanks for explaining the new changes. It has only been nine months since I bought my B2650, but it is still nice to see Kubota's design changes up close.
Looking good! I seriously debated buying my dealers last B3350 with cab. But my B2920 fills my needs and its paid for! Haha Always impressed with what these small Kubotas are capable of.
The new tractor is working well for you Gord. The cabs going to shine in the winter. The pressure treated shortage is crazy. I was at Lowe's yesterday morning and there wasn't a piece in site.
The cab window and your spreader controls won’t get along, I still keep an open station tractor around for that. Most of the “upgrades” that you have over the small frame B series tractor were standard on the large frame B50 cab tractor as well.
Well GP I finally did it this winter I traded in my l3301 for lx2610 with the cab only downfall it will be months before my loader comes but for now I'll have a 7-foot bakblade to do something with
How's she goin'? Your new tractor is checking all the boxes eh!!! It sure looks nice. Great that it fits your shelter and the attachments all work well on it too!!! I think you're liking the cab!!! Take care!!
Hi Gord, do you recall what video has your review on the first aid kit seen in this video? I can't seem to find it now that I want to watch it again. Good news- I am getting my LX delivered next week. It only took 1 year to get it. 😆 🤣 Dan
Good day GP 🌞 This a great place for your First Aid kit 😊Like and agree at 120 % of the Great tractorman 44 comments, thank you kindly for the honorable mention Sir 😊👍No more use or lock wire 😢🤪🤣What you have AC inside your tractor ??? 😨 That is over spoil Sir 😂😉 I can tell that your hydraulique pump is greater volume that your former tractor and we all are in the learning curve Sir Cheers !!!
Love the new tractor GP. Especially all the upgrades, its really nice. I like the telescoping lift arms. Wished they came standard on ALL tractors. I noticed the hydrostatic transmission whines just like my JD.3025 E. Mines two years old and I have never gotten used to the sound. Doesn't affect the performance just the squall, they tell me its normal and all hydrostat drives does this. This year J.Deere has come out with a "D" series that is Shuttle Shift. BTW it comes standard with the telescoping lift arms too. Time for me to talk with the wife about an upgrade. I like all makes, models, and colors. The brand doesn't matter i just like all tractors. Wish you all the best my friend.
Good morning Dean. I am glad you mentioned this as well as a few others. My 2601 didn't whine any where near as much as this one does, so I thought at first , maybe something was wrong. Happy to hear it is normal. Good luck with the boss and the upgrade! Thanks Dean!
I added a shackle to my draw bar, in the back hole like you mentioned. I ended up bending a bar on my three point. The shackle turned sideways and I lowered my three point. I no longer drive around with my shackle connected to the draw bar...
Good morning Philip. I'm sorry to hear that - I can picture it though - your stabilizer bar I imagine. The lower lift arms must have been pulled in close so the stabilizer bar contacted the shackle (?). I seldom keep my drawbar on the tractor unless I am planning on using it. Hope you were able to bend it back straight. Just a question - did you have an implement on the 3 pt at the time?
Hi G.P. I'm so happy for you. The tractor looks great and it even sounds good. It looks like it would be nice if you could add one more section to the shed for the tractor. Just enough to get it out completely inside and under roof. The dealership down here doesn't have any LX tractors yet they say they're having trouble getting them because of the virus. Have a great week and fun with the new toy. Thanks for sharing
So, last winter.... We got hammered with 30"+ of snow. We're no stranger to snow, but not that much that quickly, all at once. I purchased a Kubota Grand L 3560, good unit. Prior to this, we had a John Deere 1025R, also good unit. I don't mind operating both, but the comfort of the JD is FAR superior to Kubota! I might winding up having a yellow seat in my orange tractor.. Also is an enclosed cab, heat and A/C... It's the "Limited Edition", meaning it's missing things to bring down the price. But, I had the rear work lights, and side mirrors installed. The unit was about $40,000....
Morning Gord! Nice to see you making use of the new toys! The K-connect and funneled entry for the SSQA are great new features. It took me a number of hookups while to learn how to align the SSQA on my L4060, and although I’m fairly efficient now, that angle would definitely help! One tip you might want to consider - especially with the somewhat more limited vision with the cab - is to paint the tips of your pallet forks a nice bright Kubota orange. I painted the outer 8” of mine and it’s amazing how much it helps you find and place them in certain situations! Cheers!
I purchased the same tractor but won’t receive until next week. I went with the rear blower so I can use a snow pusher on the front. My driveway is not as long as yours only being about 100 feet long. Great videos! Cheers!
Congrats 906! That's great - you are probably pretty excited and can't sleep! I think that's a great setup- keeps your FEL on year round for doing other things and having the side mirrors will be really helpful, I think. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
On my B2650 I added a piezo buzzer tapped into the little switch under the dash board and every time the parking brake latching lever is engaged it’s buzzing!!
Hi Gord! You have a fine new tractor! That tapered design on the bucket is nice for making the SSQA easier. My bucket has flared edge guides the accomplish the same thing, but my pallet forks are like yours and require a more precise aim to pick them up. BTW, I like you new intro clip on the videos! Cheers!
Nice to see the nex LX2610 earning its keep around the property. Any reason you weren't using the quick hitch with the box blade? I have a Land Pride QH10 and am still waiting for my covid delayed 60" box blade. I saw it the new tractor arrive in 310 and this is video 312 but no 311. When do we get to see the "Lost" episode?😁
Gord, Thanks for sharing these videos. I'm ready to jump feet first into my first tractor and looking to purchase an LX2610. I've noticed you don't have the rear hydraulics? I would think with you doing all the scraping and road work you do, you would have bought the rear hydraulics.
If you're neighbor Guy still has his sawmill. I would coat the frame with some type of tar or oil based coating. With living in the woods the only thing that the lumber cost you is time.
Morning Kevin. We thought about it, but would rather use the time and logs for firewood for winter heat. But thanks - certainly have a backup plan if necessary. Take care!
I have a Kubota L. It has 220 hours on it with some hard work (grading and loader work mostly). My friend has a Mahindra that has the same amount of hours. He has blown five hoses and two cylinders so far. His tractor is a year younger than mine. I am not saying this is the case with all Mahindras but I am saying this is the case that I know of. In my opinion: You can't go wrong with a Deere or Kubota.
Rofl Stomps thank you. We have MF JD and Kubota in my region. Ever if MF is less expensive I’m thinking of going green or orange. About the same price for the same options/attachements. About the only big difference is that orange has air conditioning. Also I know all the staff at green but don’t in orange since they have a new owner.
Beautiful tractor Gord. looked at that unit two weeks ago,what a beautiful unit and I wish you best of luck in the future with it. Little one I have the 3039 is just fun machine and boy the cab will not take long to love. They are just perfect small needs tractors. We have a number of larger and much larger units but I just like the small 3039 the most.
Great Video! You gave a great demo on how the "float" position worked with the loader as you worked to gravel bed in you building. Plus a few other tips, remove that hitch with 3 point attachments, what can happen if this hitch is used with heavy load on uneven terrain. Thank You!
I learned something new! I bought a new 2 ton off road dump trailer from company in your neck of the woods (up in Canada) a few months ago. I've been alternating between the draw bar and the 3pt hitch, so I appreciate your advise about using the draw bar for heavy loads in ruff conditions.
Good stuff TK! Tractor man 44 and Dave RCAF Polar Express went into detail and can explain it much better than me on their videos. Good luck and be safe out there!
Good day Gp its a good looking machine I always wondered if a cab on a small tractor was good or not. But now I can see what you think about it and maybe one day I will get one. Have a good day
I'm extremely conflicted about your trade in. Watching your last video of the truck hauling your 2601 off was like watching you trade in your dog for a new puppy. Also, I'm jealous. You just one-upped my 2018 2650. I need time to reflect on this. And the clip of your wood chipper reminded me of how badly I want one... After I finally get my grapple, of course. Wife doesn't want me watching your channel anymore...
LOL! Good evening Brett. Yes, tough saying goodbye to the old girl. That B2601 was a great machine. You may want to make a list of all the chores your wife wants done that can only be done with a grapple and/or a chipper...:))) Just spit-balling. LOL! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful new tractor mate. I'm on my 3rd Kubota now and have a low hour B7800 which is a great fit for me but I will be certainly thinking how nice a cab would be as I watch you doing snow removal this winter with the heater on and as I am all bundled up as I get my therapy.
Thanks for the video, I have a neighbor down the hill from me that has a Kubota tractor and the one thing that bugs me is hearing the whine that's coming from the drive. I've used hydraulic drive before and some seem to make a lot more noise/whine compared to other tractors.
Just after the 9-minute mark you’re talking about and holding what I believe you referred to as a 3/4” draw bar that you attach the trailer ball to. Where did you get that?? I have an LX2610 (just got it!) and am trying to rig it up for towing and skidding. Assumed I should put a ball hitch on the horizontal draw bar attached to the three point hitch, but now I’m thinking I should do what you’re doing instead! Any advice appreciated... Thanks for the great video and all your replies to comments.
Good morning Joel and congrats on the new tractor! You must be pumped. That drawbar I am holding is the draw bar that comes with the tractor. I just bought a 2" ball and bolted it on the hole. You should have one too - if it is not there, just below the PTO with a lynch pin holding it on, then give the dealer a call and let him know your tractor is missing the draw bar. Good luck!
I'm really glad to see that you upgraded your tractor. Usually the best situation is to buy your last tractor First. But in your case you had the opportunity to try an smaller machine and then upgrade. Enjoy the new machine. Also, have you evaluated the acquisition of a cutting edge for that FEL bucket!?
2:45 this is how I bent the front-loader frame with my b2231 (its like b2650). Di you noticed that sometimes, one of the fork will absorb the weight faster, than the second fork? Then the result is, that You are bending the frame. I am not sure if I want to use the FL for this kind of job again, I rather prefer to have this implement in the back and adjust angle with hydraulic toplink.
Love the channel GP! The new tractor will definitely work well for you! Curious are you retired? You have a very nice place and some sweet equipment. Looks like you have done very well for yourself.
Thanks Andrew! I imagine earlier slow downs or stoppages due to the recent virus as well as alot of people have been home in recent moths and probably doing projects to keep busy, as I have heard.
Awesome!! You upgraded to a cab!! I know you will love it once you get used to it!! Best of luck! Cheers!!
I'm pretty happy - looking forward to the heat this winter. Cheers Kap!
Time go so fast GP 👌😇👍
Nice work freshening up the gravel in the =new home! Beautiful looking Rig!!!
Thanks Kap!
I just purchased a lx 2610 hst cab. I appreciate your videos, really helped educate me on this tractor. Gets delivered in 2 weeks, can't wait. Thanks kal.
Congratulations Kal! Enjoy your new tractor and have fun out there!
cheers
looks like u need to build a big ole garage or barn for ur nice tractor, implements and the rest of ur toys, keep that stuff out of the elements when not needed!
You bet! One day...:)
If you want your chipper to set higher here is a suggestion. I have a Walenstein BX42 and mounted 4x6 pressure treated timber to the bottom on each side. Cut to length, drill holes in chipper, and bolt on.
Thanks Tom! Cheers!
glad you are enjoying the new tractor.
We ordered our LX2610 with the cab, bucket & loader, snowblower, rotary tiller, & quick 3 point connect.
Pallet forks eventually.
Nice tips on the drawbar.
Morning Sunjay! Hope all is going well at the new property. Take care and all the best!
Walking up to the new LX 2610 with the biggest smile on his face. Congrats GP!
LOL. I can't stop smiling S! Was hoping for rain so i could use the wipers. :))
Nice video. I just burn my brush. So much easier and the neighbors love me for it.

LOL! I knew I had to sooner or later. Cheers Mitch!
Nice new tractor
Thanks Larry!
my internet has been off for a week and you get a new tractor,WOW! sweet enjoy and cheers to you and new videos.
You will be very happy especially in the winter!
Thanks Wayne!
Ahhh nice!!! I wondered when u would get a bigger tractor or cab. Visibility is less but not freezing in winter is worth it. Kubota has the best cabs for small tractors! 26hp with a cab who would have thought.

Nice tractor. I like the chipper. I need one.
Thanks Tom!
Liking the new tractor ! Good luck with it. Time to take a nap in that air conditioned cab.
Yes Sir..work is so much more enjoyable when you have the proper equipment. Really enjoy your content. Cheers GP !
nice machine your going to like that heated cab in the winter ,thanks .
I enjoy the way you explain things GP. Like your new equipment and the tips that go with it
Keep the great info coming. Enjoy
Thanks, will do!
How you doing? Nice looking machine. Glad to hear that your implements are compatible for your new tractor. Cheers.
Doing great thanks, Gilles! Lots to get used to. Have a great week!
That confined greenhouse you're sitting in, will quickly remind you to reach for the air/con switch when the sun starts shining through the cab. LOL. Great looking tractor you've got now.

You are going to love that K connect. Off and on in minutes I can go from loader to snowblower in less then fifteen minutes
Morning RT! Thanks - that's great to know. Have a good one!
You've upgraded. Well done.

Thanks so much LA! You too - take care!
Congrats on the new tractor. Gonna miss the old 2601 and I only get one new tractor so my B2650 trudges on.
Looking good GP!
Thanks David!
Damn, wanted it to rain where I could see a big grin of appreciation of the cab, Lovin' it!!
LOL! Me too. Usually I am looking for an inside thing to do but was waiting to try out the wipers. have a good one Ken!
Congrats again, GP! Always fun to watch your videos.
Cheers Larry!
Man, you’re going to love that cab this winter! Congratulations....

Congratulations Benjy! You must be super excited. Long wait I know but hopefully worth it. Merry Christmas!
Would like to know your friend Tim. My LX2610 arrives next week and I will certainly want/need/love a spinner knob!
How's she goin'? Your new tractor is checking all the boxes eh!!! It sure looks nice. Great that it fits your shelter and the attachments all work well on it too!!! I think you're liking the cab!!! Take care!!
Loving it Grampie! I'll find any excuse to jump in there. Have a great week!
Hi Gord, do you recall what video has your review on the first aid kit seen in this video?
I can't seem to find it now that I want to watch it again. Good news- I am getting my LX delivered next week. It only took 1 year to get it. 😆 🤣 Dan

Nice first use of the LX2610! Um,down here (LA.) the a/c switch would be "ON" then the tractor started !!
LOL! Cheers Greg!
Morning Gord! Nice to see you making use of the new toys! The K-connect and funneled entry for the SSQA are great new features. It took me a number of hookups while to learn how to align the SSQA on my L4060, and although I’m fairly efficient now, that angle would definitely help!
One tip you might want to consider - especially with the somewhat more limited vision with the cab - is to paint the tips of your pallet forks a nice bright Kubota orange. I painted the outer 8” of mine and it’s amazing how much it helps you find and place them in certain situations!
Cheers!
Morning Dave! What a great idea. Thanks!
Looks great gord. I'm looking at a tractor for around the shop here. Gonna have to go back through all the other videos now lol. Keep up the good work
Good evening Andrew. She's a beauty. Perhaps watch this weekend's video. Hope all is well! Cheers!
@@GPOutdoors thanks gord. Will do
Farmer REALLY likes to apply their stickers don’t they!!!
I purchased the same tractor but won’t receive until next week. I went with the rear blower so I can use a snow pusher on the front. My driveway is not as long as yours only being about 100 feet long. Great videos! Cheers!
Congrats 906! That's great - you are probably pretty excited and can't sleep! I think that's a great setup- keeps your FEL on year round for doing other things and having the side mirrors will be really helpful, I think. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Good stuff GP.... may have to upgrade just for the PTO switch and parking brake light!!!
LOL! I can't tell you how many times i started driving off with the brake on with the B2601. That light is super handy. Cheers Daniel!
On my B2650 I added a piezo buzzer tapped into the little switch under the dash board and every time the parking brake latching lever is engaged it’s buzzing!!
@@mainelyelectric That is a good idea . . . thanks!
@@danielchambers1958 I’m thinking of making a video someday about the mods I made to my tractor.
Going to take a while to learn to say "LX2610" instead of B2610. Loving the videos and can't wait to see you blow snow with that. Cheers!
LOL! Yup, slip of the tongue all the time lately.
GP you are going to have to get that winch back lol
Man, I wish I still had it. :))
Hi Gord! You have a fine new tractor! That tapered design on the bucket is nice for making the SSQA easier. My bucket has flared edge guides the accomplish the same thing, but my pallet forks are like yours and require a more precise aim to pick them up. BTW, I like you new intro clip on the videos! Cheers!
Nice to see the nex LX2610 earning its keep around the property. Any reason you weren't using the quick hitch with the box blade? I have a Land Pride QH10 and am still waiting for my covid delayed 60" box blade. I saw it the new tractor arrive in 310 and this is video 312 but no 311. When do we get to see the "Lost" episode?😁
Gord, Thanks for sharing these videos. I'm ready to jump feet first into my first tractor and looking to purchase an LX2610. I've noticed you don't have the rear hydraulics? I would think with you doing all the scraping and road work you do, you would have bought the rear hydraulics.
If you're neighbor Guy still has his sawmill. I would coat the frame with some type of tar or oil based coating. With living in the woods the only thing that the lumber cost you is time.
Morning Kevin. We thought about it, but would rather use the time and logs for firewood for winter heat. But thanks - certainly have a backup plan if necessary. Take care!
we have 3 tractor dealers in my region. I'm getting quotes etc. for something in the 25hp range. your channel will help in choosing. Thanks.
Best of luck Roger!
I have a Kubota L. It has 220 hours on it with some hard work (grading and loader work mostly). My friend has a Mahindra that has the same amount of hours. He has blown five hoses and two cylinders so far. His tractor is a year younger than mine. I am not saying this is the case with all Mahindras but I am saying this is the case that I know of. In my opinion: You can't go wrong with a Deere or Kubota.
Rofl Stomps thank you. We have MF JD and Kubota in my region. Ever if MF is less expensive I’m thinking of going green or orange. About the same price for the same options/attachements. About the only big difference is that orange has air conditioning. Also I know all the staff at green but don’t in orange since they have a new owner.
Congratulations on the new “K”.
LOL! Caught that, eh? :)) Take care Earl!
Love the new tractor it's the exact when I'm looking for to replace my 4740, I have a bx 25d and a 3301,the l4740 is much bigger than I need
Thanks Robert! Very happy with it so far. Good luck with your decision!
Beautiful tractor Gord. looked at that unit two weeks ago,what a beautiful unit and I wish you best of luck in the future with it. Little one I have the 3039 is just fun machine and boy the cab will not take long to love. They are just perfect small needs tractors. We have a number of larger and much larger units but I just like the small 3039 the most.
Thanks Hughie. Lots of options and choices now out there. So happy to have a cab now. Have a great week!
@@GPOutdoors u koo
mommm,.
Great Video! You gave a great demo on how the "float" position worked with the loader as you worked to gravel bed in you building. Plus a few other tips, remove that hitch with 3 point attachments, what can happen if this hitch is used with heavy load on uneven terrain. Thank You!
I learned something new! I bought a new 2 ton off road dump trailer from company in your neck of the woods (up in Canada) a few months ago. I've been alternating between the draw bar and the 3pt hitch, so I appreciate your advise about using the draw bar for heavy loads in ruff conditions.
Good stuff TK! Tractor man 44 and Dave RCAF Polar Express went into detail and can explain it much better than me on their videos. Good luck and be safe out there!
Good day Gp its a good looking machine I always wondered if a cab on a small tractor was good or not. But now I can see what you think about it and maybe one day I will get one. Have a good day
Good morning Denis!
Awesome little tractor and I’m jealous of that A/C!
Great stuff Gord!
Thanks Tim!
I don't know why Kubota put that PTO button on this model. On my B2650 I just have to set the park brake to run the PTO without the operator.
Looking at a LX2610 SU...... looking forward to your review.
Good luck Mr. M!
I'm extremely conflicted about your trade in. Watching your last video of the truck hauling your 2601 off was like watching you trade in your dog for a new puppy. Also, I'm jealous. You just one-upped my 2018 2650. I need time to reflect on this. And the clip of your wood chipper reminded me of how badly I want one... After I finally get my grapple, of course. Wife doesn't want me watching your channel anymore...
LOL! Good evening Brett. Yes, tough saying goodbye to the old girl. That B2601 was a great machine. You may want to make a list of all the chores your wife wants done that can only be done with a grapple and/or a chipper...:))) Just spit-balling. LOL! Have a wonderful weekend!
Beautiful new tractor mate. I'm on my 3rd Kubota now and have a low hour B7800 which is a great fit for me but I will be certainly thinking how nice a cab would be as I watch you doing snow removal this winter with the heater on and as I am all bundled up as I get my therapy.
Now I need to think about a different tractor. You are complicating my life GP.
LOL Larry!
I’m picking up my new B2601 next week. Now I’m thinking I should’ve splurged and got a cab model😱😜🤷♀️
Thanks for the video, I have a neighbor down the hill from me that has a Kubota tractor and the one thing that bugs me is hearing the whine that's coming from the drive. I've used hydraulic drive before and some seem to make a lot more noise/whine compared to other tractors.
Just after the 9-minute mark you’re talking about and holding what I believe you referred to as a 3/4” draw bar that you attach the trailer ball to. Where did you get that?? I have an LX2610 (just got it!) and am trying to rig it up for towing and skidding. Assumed I should put a ball hitch on the horizontal draw bar attached to the three point hitch, but now I’m thinking I should do what you’re doing instead! Any advice appreciated...
Thanks for the great video and all your replies to comments.
Good morning Joel and congrats on the new tractor! You must be pumped. That drawbar I am holding is the draw bar that comes with the tractor. I just bought a 2" ball and bolted it on the hole. You should have one too - if it is not there, just below the PTO with a lynch pin holding it on, then give the dealer a call and let him know your tractor is missing the draw bar. Good luck!
I'm really glad to see that you upgraded your tractor.
Usually the best situation is to buy your last tractor First.
But in your case you had the opportunity to try an smaller machine and then upgrade.
Enjoy the new machine.
Also, have you evaluated the acquisition of a cutting edge for that FEL bucket!?
2:45 this is how I bent the front-loader frame with my b2231 (its like b2650). Di you noticed that sometimes, one of the fork will absorb the weight faster, than the second fork? Then the result is, that You are bending the frame. I am not sure if I want to use the FL for this kind of job again, I rather prefer to have this implement in the back and adjust angle with hydraulic toplink.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Greatly appreciated.
Love the channel GP! The new tractor will definitely work well for you! Curious are you retired? You have a very nice place and some sweet equipment. Looks like you have done very well for yourself.
Great new Tractor why have you guys got a timber shortage keep up the good work
Cheers Andrew Chum Creek Victoria Australia
Thanks Andrew! I imagine earlier slow downs or stoppages due to the recent virus as well as alot of people have been home in recent moths and probably doing projects to keep busy, as I have heard.
Hey gp just picked up my new lx3310 kubota like it so far still learning about it first time tractor owner I really like your channel gives me advice
