2005 JOHN DEERE 4115 SOLD - 2014 NEW KUBOTA B2650 - AND - 2011 KUBOTA RTV 1100
I ordered the Kubota B2650 with Turf tires, 51" snow blower, 60" mid mower deck and 60" loader. Should be here 12/27/2013
My rear tires will be weight loaded, @ 12 psi
What is the highest point, the cab roof, mirror's or lights?
What pressure do you run in rear tires?
I have all the Kubota spec data, but it's not always accurate when looking at small numbers. 1/2 inch or so.
Really looking to see if this will clear my garage door header height of 83 inches without any mod's.
My Kubota RTV1100 was an 1.5 inches lower than the specification's indicated.
That's why I was looking for someone with the same model and configuration as mine with actual numbers.
All comments & data appreciated.

Basic question since no reply's on this.
Do any of the members put the Kubota B2650 in their garage with standard door openings?

Hello zzz2d1. I'm guessing from your description your tractor is coming with an enclosed cab? If not you can simply fold down the roll over protection bar and the tractor should easily fit inside a normal sized garage opening. Let us know if you have a cab
I have a Kubota dealer near by and can physically measure the height of this model with or without a cab.

Yes, I believe at this time it only comes with a cab, and mine is coming with a cab.
Thanks for the reply and help, appreciate the real measurement.

Just as well
I am not as firmilar with turf tires as R1 tires (agricultural) and R4 (Industrial). I'm quite firmilar with R1 and R 4. Kubotas measurements with the specs for your tractor are given in a safe range. For example height will be given with R1 /ag tires which are taller than industrial or turf tires. R4/ industrial tires are usually shorter but wider than r1 for a given piece of equipment for floatation reasons. As far as I know turf tires are the shortest of all the available tire types! This may give you an additional 2 inches shorter for the given height from the specs!
This is definitely something to consider as turf tired tractors need to clear trees and other obstacles to be able to drove through yards near homes while mowing and picking up brush with the FEL.... etc.
Personally I think you will be alright and will not have issues driving your new tractor into your existing garage. If your work lights on top cause you not to be able to fit the tractor in your garage you could maybe remove them from the top and mount them on the sides. Good luck and congrats on your new purchase!

I am seeing the R-1 tires at OVERALL DIAMETER: 37.6 in.
and the R-3 Turf at 38.1 overall diameter.
Which is the reverse of what you you indicated if I understand this correctly.

Alright I apologize about that. Just trying to be of some help due to the fact that no one else has given you a reply. Again I have only grew up around r1 ag and r4 industrial.
Just as well good luck on your new purchase. I may try to drive down the road to the Kubota dealer and physically measure the model you have specified. I need to go there also to shop for myself as in within the next two years I will be in the market to purchase something a lot newer than what I currenttl have

That's just fine, we live and learn as I did from you not realizing the R1 thru R4 relationship and structure for tractor tires - so thanks.
And if you get a chance to take real measurements, that will be helpfull.
Thanks Frederick
