Read articles →A retired owner's first-impressions report after roughly 37 hours on a new Kubota B2601, covering why he upgraded from the BX series, real-world use for hire work (beach tilling, stump grinding), and hands-on installation of three aftermarket additions: a Broken Anvil brush guard, JU Fab Works tie-down points, and a storage box. A dealer tech visit for a bolt/rock issue is mentioned but not fully shown. Best for B2601 owners curious about practical mods and owner-level observations.
An owner-operator channel by a retiree documenting his own property and occasional hire work, so expect a personal, experience-based perspective rather than any commercial or dealership angle.
Bigger tires pull through wet, muddy beach sand where BX tires got stuck, and the B2601 has more PTO power, about 26 horsepower versus 23, which helped with stump grinding.
Use the pre-drilled holes for two bolts, then drill additional holes as needed; 3/8 inch bolts for small holes and 3/4 inch for big ones, no instructions really required.
Around 37 hours after having the tractor for about four weeks, maybe pushing five weeks.
Instructions say to use the same holes the mid-mount mower uses, but he found a dimple that fit a screw hole better and drilled there instead, mounting two front and two rear.
