rescue161, here's a vid of removing the FEL with the standard couplers. He has a factory 3rd function valve which includes the 2 additional couplers/lines.

Thanks guys. I just signed the contract. I was able to cancel the Swift-Tach. So I got the LX2610SU with loader and 60" bucket, large R4 tires, a 60" 3-point finish mower, 60" box blade, ratcheting arm for the 3-point, arm rests and 42" pallet forks. Comparing prices (without the mower and box blade), I got it for 23.11% off of what the Build My Kubota site shows.

sounds like a great deal, congrats.

Thanks man. I cannot wait to get it here. Hopefully they will deliver it before the long weekend.

You’re going to like it, those tires look massive, I got those on my LX3310 last week. I also have 1.5” front and 2” rear Bro-Mar wheel spacers.

I did not get the wheel spacers, but I will probably do so in the near future. I'm just lucky to get the tractor as the things I initially ordered with it were going to take a couple of months. I'm still waiting on the 15-19.5 wheels/tires for the rear. He said they have shipped and expected delivery is early next week. I'm hoping they make it in this week so they can deliver it and I can play over the long weekend. I am very glad that I did not wait on the Swift-Tach and was able to cancel it. The R14 tires were going to take 2 months to get, so I changed them to R4. I chose the larger wheels as I may decide to get the large R14 in the future and didn't want to have to buy new wheels if that ever happens. The smaller wheels for the R14 are different size than that of the smaller R4. It will be my first tractor. I was actually looking for a used 8N for a while, but nothing local to me was anywhere near my price range that was in good shape. Then, after watching a ton of videos, I realized that people generally don't take good care of their tractors and usually abuse them, so I decided to buy new. I hope I'll be happy with my choice.

Do the front wheel spacers still require the steering stops? The would be nice if I could omit the steering stops, if the tires are set far enough away from the frame.

I don’t know, I plan to install them this weekend. The SU-size tires show wheel stops in the configurator, but I sure don’t see any on mine. Perhaps I’m looking in the wrong place but I would expect to see them toward the end of the axle.

 

[rescue161]

They didn't say anything about the stops when I bought the larger tires, so I told them to make sure they added them. He said that it currently does not have them, but they ordered them for me. He said I could use it without the stops, but I'd have to be mindful to not turn the wheels all the way until the stops were installed. Heck, if the spacers extend the wheels out far enough to not have to use the steering stops, that will be cool. What is the cost of the spacers?

 

[Johnkn]

I'm confused, you say I bought the larger tires, but SUs come standard with the larger 19.5" tires, while they are optional on the others. Bro-Tek are high-quality, trusted spacers. About $500 for (4). GREAT support too.
