Tractor size

[check 6]

Question for the experts is the new Kubota LX 2610 cab tractor the same size etc as the previous B 2650 cab ? Had a B 2650 cab and found the narrow rear tread width and high center of gravity with cab to make it very “tippy” on anything but level smooth ground. Specs show the LX2610 to have the same tread width looks like just a rebadged B2650 . Comments

It is.

Loading the rear tires 50% to 75% with liquid will improve stability.

that was my impression also, was hoping they would have widened the track a little for the cabbed model to compensate for the higher center of gravity

Maybe you should test drive one of these:

“tippy”

What type of tire on your B2650?

Honestly can’t remember what tires were on the cabbed B 2650 but it was uncomfortable on anything but level ground. currently running an open B2601 . Drove an LX 2610 and it is simply a re badged B2650 cabbed with a few cosmetic upgrades. Foolishly I then drove an L 3560 and wow. Stable, roomy cab, much quieter HST and better ergonomic throttle foot pedal plus lots more power and capability . Much more tractor then I need but very nice and when I told my wife she said at your age you deserve some creature comfort .... let’s see what trade in and final price before my practical side checks in and says no . But the LX2610 is definitely out

^^^^
The Grand L3560 is an awesome tractor! I’m doing my best to justify one in my future!

I’m thinking once my garage is built, my better half will allow it’s purchase.... I hope, lol

One other feature of the “L” I wish they had on the smaller tractors is placement of the fuel filler. Unlike the smaller ones where it is on top fo the engine hood ... a pain for us older and shorter guys, they put it down low at about the same height as you would find it on your car. Not a big deal for some but with eight damaged/ degenerated discs and my age it is a big deal when pouring five gallon cans.
