Read articles →A retired owner's feature-by-feature rundown after 100 real hours of use, making explicit comparisons to his previous Kubota BX throughout. He covers the loader bucket, grapple, stump grinder, tiller, and box blade with practical observations on performance differences, then mentions two minor issues, a shear bolt problem and a seat-switch shutoff annoyance. Best for BX owners considering a step up to the B2601.
Posted by the Keeping Up With Papa - Life After Work channel, which follows a retiree using his tractor for property work, side jobs, and ongoing projects.

Yes, you can set the tiller depth to a number and it drops back to that same depth automatically after each pass, unlike the previous BX tractor.
A shear bolt keeps breaking and he plans to replace it with a grade eight bolt, and a seat switch shuts the tractor off when weight lifts off the seat.
