Read articles →This is an instructional operating tutorial for the Kubota B26 TLB, not a review or purchase guide. It covers seat belt and ROPS safety, parking brake, hydrostatic transmission controls, four-wheel drive and differential lock levers, and detailed loader joystick operation, including a real demonstration of turning over a dirt pile with the bucket. Best for new or prospective owners who want to learn actual controls and safe habits, not specs or pricing.
Appears to be an owner-operator teaching hands-on operating technique on their own machine, not a dealer or sales pitch.
Keep the two brake pedals locked together with the orange tab, apply firm pressure on the pedals, push down and hold the locking lever, then lift your foot to engage it.
Pulling back lifts the bucket, pushing forward lowers it, pushing right dumps it, and pushing left curls it back; diagonal movements combine functions.
No, keep four-wheel drive disengaged most of the time to reduce wear on the drive system and avoid turf damage, and only engage it in snowy or muddy conditions.
The video shows you can leave the tractor at a slightly elevated idle around 1,200 RPMs, which provides plenty of hydraulic power for light work like turning over a pile.
