New Kubota's

I ordered a new B2601. They are sweet!! The new front end loaders are cool too.

Is that your new B2601 in the first couple pics?

I wish!! My contact sells Deere and uses them on his own farm and told me the new M7 is a Deere killer after he tried it.

Most of the new stuff is up on the Canadian Kubota site. Check out the R630.

That's great that Kubota is moving into the bigger tractor market. We all win with more competition.

Looks like the new standard B's - 2301 and 2601 - will have standard position control 3PH set up. Wonder if they've dropped the 29 hp model, probably due to the need to meet Tier 4 emissions? No mention of DPF, etc on the 25.5 hp 2601 model. Maybe they have enough credits or whatever to keep selling it for a while. I thought the emissions cutoff for the cleaner Tier 4 engines was over 25hp.

Paystar..................I'm jealous. As I recall you have a B2620. I hope not to get such an itch.

I believe 26HP and up is where emission controls must be used, anything under is not required.

Yes, I do have a B2620 and I love it. Does everything I need it to do. But there were always two things I wanted to have on it......position control and left side steering brakes. Only because I do lots of bush road building and maintenance on my property with it. The position control will just make it quicker and easier doing fine grading. It wasn't enough to deter me from buying it....but now I can have a similar tractor with it!
I was looking at the B50 series when they came out, but I still don't really want a cab, and even with the ROPS model, I don't want the digital dash and I would also have to trade my 51" snowblower because they are 53" wide versus 49".
Not to mention the new B2601 now has built in rear remote control levers instead of the add-on one bolted to my ROPS bar. And quick attach on the loader!!

Best part is, with Kubota you can get back almost the full amount I paid for it, so trading is easy.

Thanks, wasn't sure. But then I wonder why Deere changed their 1026 (26hp) to a 1025 (25 hp). I thought that was due to getting under the emissions requirement. Maybe the old one was 26.x hp??
