The B2650 count down has begun!

[Rock Crawler]

I don't think so. I used the 60" one time the week I bought it with a BX25D and as long as I want overly aggressive, the little BX pulled it fine in wet clay. I can't imagine this much larger and much heavier B2650 with 400 lbs of fluid in each tire would have trouble going up a foot. I'm going to try to Craigslist this one and move up to the 6 foot so that I can cover my tire width.

If your using the standard B2650 tires, the 60" will easily cover your width. Since I'm much wider than a B2650 is normally, I'd rather have the 72".

I will probably go with the 72 also. I am going to get the larger tires. But as of now I don稚 have intentions on running wheel spacers. I seen where king kutter makes a 66 model. But it痴 actually more expensive then the 72 assuming because it is less common.

You will be traction limited on a B2650/3350 with a 72" box. If you don't fill it too much with material it should be OK, but if you get aggressive it will likely be a problem. I base this on experience with a previous 29HP B model and the heavier L models. I run a 60" box on my L3200 and it's a good match, but even a 60" box will drag on the tractor when filled with a lot of material.

I do alot of boxblading with my B2650 regrading my property out back. I have rototilled and regraded a couple acres, with a couple more to go. I run a Land Pride
BB1572 box blade. I can run with a full boxblade of dirt, with all of the teeth 3" in the ground also to break up the dirt, and I have never spun a tire. Of course this is in low range and four wheel drive. I did grading for a living, and have used this setup the last few years and has worked out great.The tractor handles it really well. Looking forward to this year as I just installed a double spool valve and top and tilt to my tractor. Just letting you know my experience with my setup on my property. Good luck.

Looking great, Rock Crawler!! :thumbsup:

Do you think a 72 box
Blade is to much for a 2650?

It's a bit much if you asked me. 66" is a good one to settle on if the width is greater than 60".
I vote for the EA Xtreme Box Blade with lots of Value and Quality packed in!

Rock Crawler: Nice looking machine. Thanks for sharing.
You should make some fender extensions to keep the sh*t from flying up on the move.

No problem going forward or back but be a little careful with R4's on side slopes I found them to let the tractor slide sideways down hill pretty easily, say in snow, ice, wet grass etc.

I had them on my previous B7500 but after a few years I ordered a set of wheels with turf tires mounted because the R4's were nicking up the yard where I turned when mowing. Anyway come late Fall I always took them off and put the meatier tread Industrial's on for dealing with snow. One year snow came before I swapped the wheels so I went out and plowed with the turf tires still on and low and behold the tractor did a lot better in the snow and ice with the turfs. Actually surprised me. So I ordered my B2650 with turf tires, if my use includes a lot of loader work on bare dirt or mud I'd probably have been better off with R4's. I still may pick up a mounted set if I can find them for a good price.

I found the turfs to be fantastic tires for almost everything I need mine to do, even snow and ice. I was surprised since they look like dragster tires.

Nice looking fleet, Ted. And it looks like you have tamed a few pallets as well.

Looks like a Pittsburgh Stiller game--Well not yesterday

Not at the end for sure! Sorry but as a Seahawk fan I was rooting for the Jags.

I dropped the backhoe yesterday (literally took about 3 minutes) so I'm going to leave it out back for a while since I have the grader blade on so that I can play with snow. Somehow I put 7 hours on it this weekend just messing around in the 10 degree weather.

I ordered a 10 mil tarp on Amazon, 12'x16' Grizzly Tarp with plastic and metal reinforced bungee holes. Good reviews for a $25 tarp. I'll cover the backhoe to keep the sun, rain and snow off of it until it's time to use it again. I really need to hit the lottery so that I can build a large garage. I just don't have any storage space around here to put things inside.

 

[dragoneggs]

Yeah a dedicated shed for my tractor and implements would be sweet. Instead (or for now and probably a long time) I put metal roofing up with a slight slope, under my deck and park her under there to stay dry and mostly out of the sun.

That's a dream.... After an 8'x16' Lamar dump trailer.

Well my 2650 is officially ordered!!!
Got a land pride 66 box blade also to get the 300$ rebate. Bad news is it could be over a month to get it... hope it痴 here sooner.

Mine was right at a month. Trust me brother, it's one big, bad, super long month!

 

[oldballs]

Heck...........you jealous fellows..........I walked right in and bought a B2650 today........just as it was coming out of the crate....Of course, I did not order anything special.....just the FEL and MMM.

But forgot to ask about the $1000 rebate direct from Kubota. Is that true? The salesman did not mention it other than a $300 discount off on one of the attachments... I think i was off the FEL.

Should get it delivered next week.

Cheers,
Mike

 

[Rock Crawler]

The $1000 ended December 31, quarter 1 of 2018 is $300 orange bonus cash.

 

[Dan33Klein]

Yeah just 300$ rebate.
My dealer recommended I wait until
Mid March and would probably get better rebates. But since I already sold my BX I need a tractor tomorrow. If I was just trading in waiting wouldn稚 be so bad.
