Kubota B21\'s

I was riding around today and noticed a Kubota B21 that looked nice. It had a BH on it and everything. Can anyone tell me what size of tractor this is compared to the B7500, which I own. It looks a little bigger than mine.

Re: Kubota B21\'s

The basic chassis is a B-2710 in todays models. it is equipped with a full frame loader that is not removable like on your tractor. The Backhoe is removeable and converts on the back to three point hitch. They are a good unit and very durable like it's bigger brothers the L-35 and L-48. They all feature special hoods so dirt won't damage them, you will find all the backhoes are a four point connection for rigidity.

Re: Kubota B21\'s

I see that a lot of people own kubota machines that seem similar in size to the B21's, but not a lot of people seem to have the B21's. Why is that? I don't know all the other CUT model numbers, but they all seem to be similar in size to the B21, what advantages and/or disadvantages do these machines have? B21's have a canopy, but the others don't. They have lights on the top where they're more usefull if you leave the FEL on all the time etc. I'm curious about this.

I think the B21 is considered as a backhoe loader unit used more for construction situations.

I think the B21's integral cab/ROPS is too tall to fit through most residential garage doors, which could limit its appeal to non-commercial users.

Oh okay, I see. That would make sense cuz they're very nice machines.

Re: Kubota B21\'s

I think the biggest reason is probably that, as Art mentioned above, the loader does not come off...

In my case, I did not consider the B21, probably for that reason alone.

Re: Kubota B21\'s

I will drive back by there today and see what I can if it's still there.It looks like a very nice machine. I was wondering about the HP of the B21. Anyone know??

"I was wondering about the HP of the B21. Anyone know??"

Per the Kubota website, the engine produces 21 HP (Gross). The PTO HP isn't listed, but figure 16 or 17 @ the PTO.

Re: Kubota B21\'s

I think it is about 14 on the PTO horsepower. This unit does have a larger hydraulic pump on it to run the loader and hoe faster for commercial duty. These units are an excellent contractor unit for small work areas.
