New tractor arriving this Friday. What do I need?​

Oh, don't you worry, you'll get tired of seeing my pictures....

I lived in N AZ and found the following things to be used the most: loader, rear blade for snowplowing and road maintenance, rotary cutter for mowing, canopy for shade when mowing, and supplemental work lights mounted to the canopy or ROPs.

It is coming with front loader, rear box scraper, blade for the bucket and a operators canopy. I have a decent riding mower so no brush hog for now (too much $$)

Between Prescott and Flagstaff 4500 ft elevation.

Oh, yeah that area usually doesn’t get that much snow. But I’ve seen heavy snow dumps in your area (Chino Valley) in the past. But it’s not real frequent like we had in Flagstaff.

Lock’n’lube

Good grease gun.

Good grease.

Don’t just jump on and get to work, put aside an hour or so and go over it with a fine tooth come, every bolt torque, cotter pin bent correctly, drain plug (mark them to see any movement, grease where needed, fluids, inspection panels on properly, anything else in the manual to check at the 0-100 hr interval I would just check now.

Then, have fun and post pics.

Well thanks in large part to the great advice from you guys, I have a Kioti CK2610 arriving at the ranch this Friday....any accessories you could recommend? I'm thinking small (inexpensive) stuff like toolboxes and other trick hacks.....
Thanks!

Spare fuel filter(s) and coolant. Might also get the filters needed for the 50 hour change. I just got a new B2601. Kubota doesn't say to change hydraulic fluid at 50, just the filters (2). So, I have a new used oil container on order that I'll use, catch and put back into the tractor.

Bought a new lube shuttle grease gun, much less mess with just screw-in cartridges (JD dealer has them).

Also bought a new click type torque wrench for checking torques on loader attachment bolts and wheel bolts.

Ordered a $7 tool box to replace the tiny one on the B2601 from Harbor Freight that I think will fit. Kubota (and my JD 2025R and 1025R) has a metal piece between the ROPS that the tool box sits on, held on by 2 small bolts.

Get some extra flip pins, etc. to put in the tool box. See what size you have and get spares at TSC.

If switching implements much at all, a QH is the thing to get. HF has about the cheapest. Its top hook needs replaced with either a U adaptor (online) or an Amazon one (online); I actually have both and replaced the top hook bolts with pins from Ken's boltonhooks site. Still total price will be less than most any other QH. Eliminates having to mess around with the lift arm tensioners and levelling.

Get some hours on it first...maybe about 20 or so...
Then, you'll have a better idea of what you need or want

Can't recall who posted it, but if you're in a colder area, do consider a block heater at some point

Paulden actually. 3 years ago they had 2 ft of snow (just before we moved in) Last year, one big snow..... this year, none at all....I wish it would snow more.....

Good idea. I saw a video on Youtube where a guy got an ammo box and painted it orange, attached with an L bracket. Thought I'd wait to have it for a while to see if that will work....

Do you think I need a gun rack on it....?
