Kubota B50-Series tractors, B2650 & B3350. Review and functions | Messick's

[@ronhanish]

What causes the ram cylinder to explode?? Twice. It just got fixed and then it just happened within a half hour??

[@N98858]

B2650...Nice Unit!

[@amuba6al]

Just a little info for those that are in the market for the B3350 in colder states. DO NOT BUY! Nothing but problems in the cold and this is coming from Kubota dealers. I'm still purchasing a Kubota but not that model.

[@robertpowers7856]

Amu Batal i have had my 2015 b3350 for 4 years, snowblow in any weather and as low as -20, plug block heater in for 2 hrs, good to go, Summer time i mow 8 hours every week i have had O problems, when i get 2 bars on engine temp i taker her to 2100 to 2200 rpm and it stays there till im done, then a cool down. Stop the bashing ,your repeating what someone else said. Anyone looking for a excellent 33 hp tractor will not regret buying this tractor which punches above its weight class.

[@ryanbrooks3443]

What's the PTO horse power in the 2650 and the 3350? Then reason I ask is because I have 2320 and the horse power on the rear is 22.2 horse.

[@collintheisen7061]

Hi, I own a 2009 B3200 tractor. I was having trouble locating the power beyond line to add a third function valve and was wondering if you could help me out.

[@DavidFDay]

Nice review!!

[@kodylong1503]

nice

[@masonb4582]

How is the mid mount mower controlled height wise. I'm very new to these tractors and trying to weigh my options between brands. The JD 2025r that I looked at seems to be the most comparable to the b2650. The JD has an electronic system to raise the mower separate from the 3 pt control. How does this work with the Kubota? Thanks.

[@jacksonk5308]

I believe that the mower deck lifts with the three point hitch on the Kubota machines, but I own a B2301, not a B2650 or B3350. If you want to do a lot of dirt work with the three point hitch while you have the deck on then you want the Deere, but honestly, even with the deck up you lose a lot of ground clearance and risk harming the mower deck. I don’t recommend doing anything other than mowing while the mower deck is installed. Personally, I like the Deere machines but in my opinion it’s not really worth paying an extra 2-3 thousand dollars for green and yellow paint. Good luck, I hope you find the tractor you’re looking for sir.

[@94Gidge]

The electric lift system on the deeres is a common failure point

[@andysworld2188]

For the B2650 the mower is a ground following deck and is not suspended under the machine while mowing like B2601 or BX uses. So you adjust the height of your gage wheels to set your mowing height.

[@aarikfelt7159]

Thank you very much I asked are closes dealer and the never got back to me

[@homesteadpilgrim]

do you deliver to NC?

[@MessicksEquip]

+Homestead Pilgrim NC is outside our service area

[@redchris1757]

Pressing forward to go backwards is weird? Yep, waiting for the treadle pedal to catch on with automotive manufacturers.....

[@robertpowers7856]

Lots of bashing on the B3350, emissions and regen problems, Ive had my B3350 for 4 years, winter or summer ive never had a problem, its a tough tractor that punches above its weight class. It is made to run hard, throttle to 2200 and do your thing, get it hot and run it hard, you wont have dpf problems, when the regen light comes on keep working it and let it do its thing, sometimes regen light comes on when you are done with your task, throttle to 2200, put tractor in neutral, set parking break and walk away, done in 20 minutes.

[@ronhanish]

How much is a service manual for a 2019 B3350 ?

[@daveknowshow]

only guy I know blowing summer snow! lmao.

[@Petertutinski]

daveknowshow hmmmm I can't seem to decode this comment... help?

[@daveknowshow]

watch the end of the video. he say blowing snow in summer.

[@justloggit22]

The tractor community needed a guy like Neil to explain all these Kubota platforms and operation. Thank you for doing these comprehensive reviews. 👍

[@michaelaos]

I'd sure like to see the B50 -vs- B01.

[@lawrenceridge3907]

pro tip: watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@rexbrandon8428]

@Lawrence Ridge yea, have been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)

[@tazmanken01]

What do you recommend from Kubota that I can have a belly mower and use a 6 foot brush cutter? We have about 14 acres to brush hog, right now we have a Kubota BX2370 and the 4 foot cutter would take way to long so we are looking to get a bigger Kubota but still want the 60 inch belly mower. Or do you think the B2650 with a 5 foot brush cutter be ok? Thanks Ken

[@MessicksEquip]

I'd be looking at b2650

[@urbankubota2894]

I am still trying to decide on the BX23S or B2601. Could you do a comparison between those two?

[@MessicksEquip]

+Francis S already done. Comes out next week

[@briantinner3147]

Does Kubota have a B2650 or similar that have an integrated backhoe like the BX25? I really like the aspect of it but it would be nice to have a slightly bigger frame!

[@troyr57]

Yes, the BH 77 mounts on with two pens, and use a spin around seat

[@GraceAppliance]

Super helpful. Thanks!

[@northernbear7627]

How about a video on your feelings of Wheel Spacers.

[@legacynorthwest1249]

very helpful video! Thank you so much!

[@TheRonald6524]

This tutorial was very well put together!!! And was very helpful!! I am doing some research 🧐 on B series tractors as I am finally getting serious about getting a tractor!!! Thanks!!! 👍

[@skeets6060]

I need some help here on choosing a tractor,, I have a BX now and I love the little beast, but I need to go a bit larger. I stopped by the dealer quickly for a bit and they had both a B2601 and 2650 on the floor the 2650 had a cab. WHile I would love a cab my orchard would clean it off in a heard beat so Im going with a ROPS,, please give me a comparison between the 2. You know the good the bad and the ugly about them both though I dont think theres any ugly. So tell me please

[@bryangrim6021]

Nice tractors! Nice job as usual explaining everything. 👍

[@teter129]

Great video. very informative and no fuss . . .

[@XxTheReverendxX]

My local Kubota Dealer told me the DPF system on the B3350 has issues, do you know if they are fixing this?

[@MessicksEquip]

Out of the gate, it had a lot of issues running a regen in cold weather. At this point, we can say fairly confidently they got things resolved. We're now well into February basically trouble free. In my opinion, the measure of a company is how they stand by their products when this kind of stuff happens, and Kubota did not run away or deny there was a problem.

[@XxTheReverendxX]

Okay good to hear, I'm very interested in the B3350SU and was bummed when they told me it had issues. Thanks for the reply!

[@dennisbening8660]

Where's the clutch?, like to shift the PTO?

[@MessicksEquip]

No clutch needed.

[@oregonlt3]

Is there a physical reason the larger (19.5) R4 tire package is not offered on the cab tractor? I know the mid mount mower won’t fit & you need the steering stop but it would seem they should fit unless there is some cab structure interference?

[@MessicksEquip]

I'm with you that they should fit. I would worry about making it more top heavy

[@davidmicheletti6292]

Good explanation of all these tractors

[@Ranger42]

Outstanding video.

[@farmertyler8087]

Is it possible to get a b series without a hydrostatic transmission? I am looking for one for a large garden and in experiences with traditional tractors and prefer the traditional transmission

[@MessicksEquip]

The small B, yes

[@wimboldt5353]

what is the over all hight of the b2650 with the cab it might be to high for my tacter shed i have a b 23 70 now

[@andysworld2188]

Wim Boldt according to the specs on kubotas website its 84.6 inchs

[@RaymondBarrett]

Hi Neil, please do more videos with the L4060 with the cab! I want one and you don't seem to do many with that version. Is there something wrong with that size? Mostly seems you do the smaller and bigger tractors. I think love your videos! My wife and I watch them every week and wish we had a Kubota! One day. We have the land, one day we'll have the tractor.

[@MessicksEquip]

Great tractor. I film with what we have in our rental fleet.

[@RaymondBarrett]

@@MessicksEquip thanks! Now just open a store here in Aiken SC and we'll buy one!! And we need lessons! Thanks for the great videos!

[@ohyeah1359]

Wish the dealers in my area had more selection, I’m sure they don’t have all models in each series.

[@Amputee4life628]

Why don't they ever give the price ranges

[@horseblinderson4747]

Because as a dealer it's not allowed and there's a price configurator on the website, count on 10-15% off of that if you got an ok dealer.

[@MessicksEquip]

It also changes as time goes by, and these videos will be here for years

[@aarikfelt7159]

Is the transmission oil fill port the same for the hydraulic oil

[@MessicksEquip]

+Aarik Felt yes

[@got7iloveyou761]

very nice

[@ryanbrooks3443]

What's the biggest tractor in the b searies?

[@aarikfelt7159]

Can you put a bale spear on the loader

[@MessicksEquip]

+Aarik Felt sure

[@daved7024]

Nice informative video! Thanks Neil.

[@unityroad]

Thanks for the review, Does the cab models have interior lights? Working nights in snow and drop something a light(s) would be nice. Keep up the good reviews.

[@MessicksEquip]

I believe it does have a dome light. Its on a switch, not tied to opening the door like your car would be.

[@aarikfelt7159]

what about a rear hydraulic kit

[@MessicksEquip]

+Aarik Felt it exists. What about it?

[@rynely1]

Where would the control lever be located

[@aarikfelt7159]

Are there two different filters

[@xplmr1]

What do you mean " The cab includes either heat or air"? You can't have AC for the summer that will also blow warm air in the winter?

[@MessicksEquip]

+xplmr1 correct. Mechanically heat and a/c are two different systems. Your car is the same way.

[@xplmr1]

Messick Farm Equipment, I understand the separate mechanical systems required for heat and air but can I purchase a cab with both heat and AC or are you stuck with "either heat or air"? My "car" has both. I use AC when its hot out and heat when it's cold out. You make it sound like I have to choose an AC cab or Heated cab when purchasing the tractor. Is that the case? It appears in other videos that the temp knob/dial goes from red to blue. Your wording has me perplexed at 1:05.

[@MessicksEquip]

+xplmr1 yes, you install both. I would look at a B2650 if you need that.

[@bradenhenry1070]

On the 3350 with a cab can you have a backhoe and can you remove the cab

[@MessicksEquip]

Yes backhoe,no to cab removal.. at least this cab.

[@hporter056]

With the 3350 using a backhoe are you outside the cab or inside?

[@MyHMMWVaddiction]

Can the "su" have a gear trans ?

[@MessicksEquip]

No. See l2501.

[@aarikfelt7159]

we have a small farm and might need it

[@aarikfelt7159]

How do I install one

[@welcometothefreeworld]

Why do some B Series models have the loader controls on the right fender and some have the loader controls coming out from under the seat? Is it the difference between the B2650 vs. B3350 or the difference between the B2650/B3350 vs. B3350SU?

[@shortylibitzer7033]

I USE BOTH PTOS ALL THE TIME MMM AND A 5 FOOT SICKLE BAR ....

[@dunner8125]

Can that four post canopy be bought for b2650

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

I am going to buy a B2601 soon and I was wondering if you have heard or know if you can increase the hydraulic pressure by adding shims. I have watched videos of the BX 25D where shims have been added to increase the hydraulic pressure. Thank you

[@MessicksEquip]

you can shim any hydraulic valve. I'd encourage you to live with the tractor before doing so. You'll be surprised by its capacity without modification.

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

Thank you

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

With the B 2650 with the cab on can a back hoe be attached and used at the same time without having to take the cab off? Do they make a cab for the b 2601 that can be used with the back hoe attached?

[@MessicksEquip]

+Mech Uno yes for the 2650. No for the 2601

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

Thank you
