I have no issue with the treadle pedal on my B2601. Even lawn tractors are incorporating it too. My Cub Cadet LX1 even has one so I guess I am just comfortable with using them.

I have a couple of thoughts. I only have 1 acre lot and started with a Kubota BX2370 with FEL, bucket, 60 inch mowing deck and 50" land pride tiller. I used it for mowing, snow removal, and tilling gardens. After 5 years I moved up to the Kubota B2601 with everything listed above plus a...

I use my Kabota (BX and B) to haul a garden trailer loaded with logs/tree clippings all the time on all types of terrain. On downhill slopes, I always use 4wd in low range and ready to apply the brakes if needed. As an added safety measure whenever I have heavy loads I make sure he FEL with...

I would be careful about the public road part since it may involve more maintenance than you want to commit to. Buddy of mine lives in a community where all the roads are private and they are responsible for snow removal AND storm drain maintenance, etc. Each summer he spends several weekends...

I would go with any of the Kubota Zero turns for sure. However, you mentioned snow so I would lean to a Kubota B2601 with a 60" mmm, and either a snow blower or FEL with a 5' bucket to push and lift snow. If you plan to do any digging or landscaping get the FEL and bucket instead of the snow...

My bad about Messicks. They sell up and down the east coast so it would have been possible to buy from them. After rereading you got the sway bar kit from them. :)

Dieselbob69, I am surprised by the issues you are having with the uneven loader and the other issue you noted. I see you bought from Messicks. I have bought 2 Kubota's from them. A BX2370 with 60" MMM, FEL, 4 foot bucker, ROP lights, Woods 50" tiller which I love. Then I bought a B2601 with...

Years ago my father taught me that if I borrow something I was to return it in the same shape or better to be a good neighbor. So, if I borrowed something that uses gas, I would make sure to fill it up when I returned it. If it was a cutting tool, I sharpened it. I till 4 neighbors yards each...

I bought a used 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport in 2018 from a neighbor at a good price. Her husband had passed and she felt it was time to let it go. One of the appeals for a jeep is that it is an off road vehicle and a convertible as well! The attraction for me was that it is fun to drive and will...

My local Massey dealer carried Mahindra for about 3 years. Turns out not many people bought them to make it worth their while so they dropped the line. I am sure they are rugged machines and will match up with the Kubota in the higher spec models. One thing I noticed is that the paint on the...

Ruffdog, I like your shelving and organization skills! Looks like you can drive your tractor up to the shelf and attach whichever tool you need. Exactly my thoughts too.

Bearsixty7 is correct about the size and weight of my grapple. For reference here is a "home made" support created by a friend of mine that uses a 2x4 and plywood as support. I used 4 modified (longer) supports than the one here that are bolted to the 2x4 studs of the shed. When pressed...

Here is where I keep my grapple and bucket when not needed.

Helping a neighbor out who had several Ash trees fall during a big storm. The Kubota B2601 with Grapple is the perfect tool for the job!
