2016 Kubota B2650
.....you will have to check your 3 point hitch lower limits along with the weight of the implement. I knew going into the larger tires that my lower limit would be a challenge for some implements, but I did'nt consider the weight. So far I am only carrying a land pride finish mower 60" so moving the lift link into the forward hole to get more drop, is not an issue, but if the weight of the implement were near the limit, it may be a challenge to get the arms dropped down far enough. Just be aware and check each implement for purchase.

Otherwise, you could'nt pry these larger tires from me. I love'm.

I cannot speak to the B2650, but on my B3300SU and current L3560 further adjustment down is available by moving pins which hold left and right Lifting Road stirrups to the Lower Links, from the default upper hole, to the lower hole. This allows implements to drop a further 3" to 5".

Especially useful when using a Box Blade, Angle Blade or Landscape Rake to tear down mounds, where the front of the tractor is lower than the rear of the tractor, raising the implement. This additional adjustment is also needed when using lawn dethatchers, in order to get dethatcher tines well into the surface.

Stirrup pins and holes are standard Three Point Hitch adjustments designed and patented by the Three Point Hitch inventor, Harry Ferguson, in the mid-1930's.

The BX series Three Point Hitch does not have these adjustments due to its small size.

Photo #2 optional Left stirrup pin position in LOWER hole; lowers implement 3" to 5". (L3560)

I guess it depends on the term "oversize", ie. bigger than recommended by the maker or bigger than the standard offering on a particular model. The M8540 and M9540 are the same engine, frame etc. yet the M8540 comes standard with smaller tires. I have the "oversize" M9540 on our M8540 and foremanEtexas had larger tires mounted on his last M7040 and neither of us have issues. I've seen others go with bigger tires than recommended by the manufacturer, so you can do it on many models.

My B2650 does not have upper and lower holes, but it has two holes, one set closer to the axle and one set closer to the attachment eyes. Default is the pair closer to the attachment eyes, but I had to move them to the pair closer to the axle for the mower. This would only be an issue if I were lifting heavy weight implements

It doesn't have multiple holes on the lower yoke end of the side links? I thought that was common/standard on all Kubotas? The holes won't be on the lift arms, they would be on the side link lower yoke.

So what tires did you get that are oversized??

What is considered standard?

Did you "oversize" the fronts as well to match and keep the 4wd ratio happy?

Kubota lower links drill about like butter! You can put holes where ever you want!

Just don't try to drill Deutz lower links, unless you have a whole box of drill bits! lol

Yes, I've done both...

Why not get two adjustable side links (or even better hydraulic) and keep your lift capacity?

Good think'n. I will price another adjustable, and maybe some from the next size up if they are a bit longer.
