Kubota B2650 VS Kubota LX2610 - Are they the same?

[@trytobetheballpeople]

Man!! Kubota should give you a percentage for advertising! You are good!

[@JeremyTVOK]

You really can’t beat the B2650. I’ve got one on 20 acres and it does everything I need it to!

[@circuitbreaker9001]

My dealer did not know this either. In the manual for the B2650 if you lock the brake on the PTO will operate. This lets you run a chipper. There is a micro switch which operates with the break lock that lets the PTO operate. I also used this switch to operate a light in the dash so I don't forget to unlock the brake. I know we have all done this

[@rekjavicxxx]

Thank you so much for the thorough comparison of both the B2650 and LX series. I've been in the market for the B2650 for a while, and when we finally were ready to pull the trigger, I was disheartened to hear it had been discontinued. We went ahead and got the LX2610 coming, but I was still a bit uneasy that it was effectively a flashy B2601 model. This did make me feel a bit better bout going with the LX. Thanks for the great head to head overview!

[@scottwydra6365]

I have the outgoing B3350 Cab, at first I had many issues with what I thought was the emissions. Turns out my stalling issue was something like a slug that must have dropped into the fuel tank and would intermittently plug the fuel line, I still need to locate or make a strainer for the filler neck. Second problem is I wasn’t running RPM above 2000 when running backhoe, resulting in regen issues and inability to start. Since running above 2000 I have not had to regen during or after backhoe use. Seat safety switch is sensitive and would cut motor when bouncing up and down, removed connector and jumped it to stay on all times. Treddel pedal safety switch intermittently would cause a no restart problem, keep it lubed up and wiggle it then try to start again. At the end of the day I don’t think the b3350 is as bad as they say because 75% of my problems we caused by things you would see on any Kubota with same parts. I still fear the regen especially during use but much less now that I know how and when I can tolerate the process.

[@danielsharon524]

I went to the local Kubota dealer a couple weeks ago hoping for some explanation of the various compact models & got nothing of the sort. In fact he made it even more confusing as the salesman even gave me an (old/outdated) B2650/B3350 brochure not mentioning those models are seemingly no longer made so I was left wondering what the difference between a BXX50 and an LX is which you so kindly answered.. Not such a warm fuzzy & I'd likely never buy a tractor from them. He basically pointed to a BX and said this is what you need (it may be) although I really like the physical size of the B (aka "small B") series and indicated I wanted something larger. You cleared up some confusion - Thanks!

[@meisbepat]

Hey Neil, have you had any customers complain about the swift-tach setup on the LX series? I had both sides of the loader cone off (separate times) rather violently. One of those times smashed the side of the hood. I had to get the top pins back from the dealer and put them back in. In my opinion this loader/tractor is too heavy for that style of pawl. Both times mine pooped off from simply driving across the field. My assumption is the geometry us off, and the weight bounces just right to allow those pawls to unload and slip.

[@MessicksEquip]

I've not heard anything, there have been no service bulletins about it either. If it was a problem their safety police would be all over it. Is it possible the paws where not fully engaged?

[@meisbepat]

@@MessicksEquip No, they were fully engaged. My dealer was able to recreate the issue and took a bunch of pictures to send off to corporate. I will say that the loader is MUCH more rigid and solid feeling with pins in.

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Another great, informative video, Neill!!! So, it would still be accurate to say the Standard L series is the more capable machine regarding loader capacity?

[@MessicksEquip]

Yes. Video coming up shortly about exactly that

[@hphillips7425]

L2501 has 525 loader and the b50 has 534 loader. I must be missing something but it appears the b50 is rated 9 kg more lifting

[@kennymcmasters]

I’m interested in knowing why as a shopper I would or should buy the SU model over the L2501 or vice versa. I hope that gets addressed as it’s not very clear how these two models overlap and how they differ in regards to user application.

[@emussatto538]

at the same lift height the l2501 will lift more, but l2501 lifts higher, the lift rating is at max height

[@dan33klein]

H Phillips That is Max weight cap and max lift heigh. L series lift higher, also l series have more lift down at the bottom of the loader lift curve, and they are build about 2X as strong. I have a B2650 myself and never really noticed the difference in loafers until they are side by side. B50 loader is more similar to a bx loader. L loader and mounting brackets are a lot beefier

[@borderm3]

Any advice on keeping all the soot off the loader? Maybe spray it when its clean with some coating or wax?

[@jamesdewey4107]

You don't mention what tractor you have, but if it's a B2650, check this out. www.specialtyrepairscustommods.com/b2650-exhaust-extension

[@trulysurprised-bk7cy]

If you keep on it, Lemon Pledge takes it right off

[@FishFind3000]

If I remember correctly you can rub dish soap on pans before you cook on a camp fire and you can wipe the soot right off the pan. You can try that with the loader. Or just wax it and buff or clay bar every so often to remove.

[@jdouglas2109]

I installed a 45 degree angle piece of radiator hose to direct the exhaust away from the loader, works great and the exhaust hasn't damaged the hose at all.
