Kubota B2601 VS Kubota B2650

[@northwoodslife5964]

I live probably 3,000 miles from Messicks. Yet with today's technology I watch these videos. There are volumes of information gleaned from this, as I'm tractor shopping. Neil is doing incredible work for their company. And also for Kubota! Keep up the good work, Sir. I'm an old man and have son's older than you, and I am inspired and energized by your videos. Hope to buy a B2650, B2601, or L2501 or L3301 very soon... I worked a small tractor business with a Kubota B7100 my dad bought back in the late 1970s. I was 16 years old. I want another Kubota. God Bless.

[@doncook4009]

Neil you do a very great job with these videos. I have watched this video numerous times and have made several trips to my local Kubota dealer here in Mississippi trying to make the right decision on which tractor and mowing application will best work for me. Your excellent work producing these videos is a great resource for those of us working through understanding the differences in these machines. I have decided that the B 2601 with the 60" mower deck equipped with front end loader is what I need for my lawn care and lawn maintenance business.

[@rash0401]

Just want to say you do a really great job with all of your videos. You get to the point and also hit the highlights. Thank you.

[@deanbarr5740]

Good job Neil. You explain things very well and i like that you don't talk the competitors down. My previous tractor was a Kubota L 2650. I now have a J.Deere, its a good tractor but I'm more of an orange tractor guy. The only reason i went green this time was cost. I couldn't pass up the deal and the incentives that came with it and the loader. Thanks Neil.

[@davebarnessr.5805]

I love the BX models. I really needed the L 4701 for the job specific ump it gives me in those areas, but nearing the end of the loan on my L model, I’m starting to look hard at adding the BX mostly for mowing and space restricted areas I can use a little ump. Besides, the wife loves outdoor work and would not be intimidated like she is with the L. A thank you to Messicks for shipping my supplies promptly and getting my order right. You can expect future business.

[@scottcaley6555]

This video was so helpful in understanding the notable differences between these two models with their similar looking model numbers! Thanks Neil, for your excellent explanations. I stepped through it a couple of times taking notes as I went.

[@blankblank224]

just bought a B2650 in May 2018 with loader and 60" rear mower, great machine nice little tractor to go alone with the m7060. When we decided on a B series and we went looking it took us another day to decide on the 2601 or the 2650, love having more options.

[@jebert34]

Blank Blank thanks for the post - how many lbs can your loader lift with the 2650?

[@TSemasFl]

I like these videos and the comparisons between the different models. They are always well done.

[@danielsharon524]

Thanks - I went to my local Kubota dealer yesterday and wasn't impressed w/the salesman's knowledge but at least got to see some units in person. It really is difficult to keep the Kubota models straight. Then there's the L series which also overlaps and has yet another engine on the L2501 that differs from the B2601 or B2650. I really liked the size of the B2601.

The mower deck explains a lot thanks for that it helps out a bunch

[@timscott8149]

I watch these all the time, they are the most informational videos I have ever seen that really gets to the core of what things are about. I live in Upstate NY and I am looking for the tractor that is going to serve me for years to come and help me with some projects I have to get to. Unfortunately I did buy a machine a little under powered and not able to come close to perform the task I will need to get done in the coming year or so. Thanks for these wonderful videos you may not think you are doing a lot, but believe me, you certainly are. I am most certain I will be purchasing a Kabota or New Holland because of Neil from Messick's I am leaning toward Kabota.

[@hphillips7425]

Good video 👍.I am ashamed to say how many times I have watched this video. B2650 👍

[@GPOutdoors]

Hey Neil. Great video and long overdue. This is a growing segment for new tractor owners and you did a great job explaining it. Cheers and all the best!

[@georgetuider654]

I live in the PacNW and recently bought a B2650 which has wildly exceeded my expectations. My only regret (seriously) is not getting one sooner. I've spent tens of thousands of dollars renting equipment over the years, wasting time ordering, waiting and paying for delivery/pick up and often having bad weather on the dates I needed to use it. I'm not a big fan of borrowing money (I paid cash for mine) but I would have been ahead in the long run if I would have bought a Kubota years ago and made payments on it.

[@JeremyTVOK]

I love my B2650! I was concerned about it not being big enough for my 20 acres but it is perfect!

[@thedude7726]

I have 18 acres and am looking into one of these units. What attachments do you use?

[@deanbarr5740]

Thanks for explaining the difference in these two tractors. A very good friend of mine has a B2601. I've seen him do exceedingly work with his 2601. Very impressive indeed. I trust his opinions on these two tractors. Had i not seen some of his performances i would probably lean toward the B 2650. But everyone wants/needs are to save money, so i believe the 2601 is by far the better value. Thanks Neil.

[@igottimetodaybrah209]

You guys are a GREAT AMERICAN COMPANY. I've have learned so much.

[@phild9813]

Love that B2650. Lots of upsides in an incredibly capable machine. My only big problem is the noise of the HST transmission. Man it’s loud!

[@kdegraa]

They certainly are loud. I own a larger Kubota MX5200. This tractor does not have much of a HST whine. I never really hear the transmission over the engine. However I really like the B series and would have liked to buy one, the one with the biggest engine. But they were very expensive, not much cheaper than the MX5200. So I went with the bigger machine.

[@50Acres]

You guys make great videos. These are very helpful.

[@marshmeadowpond5036]

New subscriber and love all the information and fine details you put into your videos Neil. I will be a first time buyer of a tractor soon and definitely interested in the B2601.

I've been scouring the internet, and I just can't find decent pictures or video clearly showing the size difference between the B2601 and B2650. In this video they're 'dressed down' without loaders and sitting at angles on an unlevel surface. Would love to see a video where you have the loaders (and backhoes) on and show some good front and side profiles showing the size difference.

Great information. Always like your videos. You were one of the driving factors of me getting my BC2380! However, I do have a question about trying to keep gunk building up under the mower deck. I used my 60 inch mower deck for about 10 hours and I was shocked how much stuff was under there. It was shocking. You can check out the video if you want to see what I am talking about.

[@MessicksEquip]

Yep, that's pretty normal. I use a leaf blower to blow the grass off my mower ( not a BX ) after every time that I use it.

[@RockingCHomestead]

Thanks for the feedback. Any suggestions on how to keep the under section from getting coated? Someone said to spray with a lubricant or cooking spray, but that sounds like it would just make it worse.

[@MessicksEquip]

Oh under the shell! You hear about sprays, no first hand experience. I just clean it out once a year.

[@RockingCHomestead]

I had about 2-4 inches of gunk around my mower blades after 10 hours of use. To be fair I was mowing some pretty tall grass and weeds which is pretty wet no matter how long you let your lawn/field dry.

[@MessicksEquip]

No mid pto, bigger tires

[@mainelyelectric]

What’s the purpose of the switch on the emergency brake lever on the B2650 if it doesn’t turn on any light on the dash warning you that the emergency brake is on like most other Kabota tractors?

[@billfischer6464]

Thanks so much. I've been eyeing a 2650 with cab and was curious just how different it was than a 2601. I definitely think I will be very happy with the 2650. Now I have to call back and find out about trading my old skid steer. Awsome timing.

[@jimwilloughby]

Neil, I've been toying with getting a B 2650 or a B3350, so this video was helpful. My primary use will be snow plowing and removal. Does Kubota offer a rigid rear hitch upon which a ballast block could be mounted. I don't like the idea of using a three point hitch for that because of the constant strain on the hydraulics, and because I don't like the way a block would sway back and forth when in use. The mass of a concrete block would knock the rear end of a machine left and right and it is disconcerting to say the least.

[@MessicksEquip]

Lock the block down with sway bars, then it won't move. The weight on the 3-point is not an issue. I'd fill the tires or do wheel weights before cooking up a way to put the weight on the back.

[@jimwilloughby]

I was figuring on wheel weights and filling the tires but would that be enough?

[@MessicksEquip]

Absolutely yes. Most people run around 500lbs of ballast.

[@ballardfabrication6380]

Neil, I bought a 2018 JD 2032R Ive had nothing but issues out of it. The tractor does everything I want and need. Most of the problems are associated with the tier 4 emissions system. I would love to trade for a 2650 but I'm not sure it will run my 60" tiller. What would be my best move? I mostly use it as a forklift for my fab business.

Neil, you think Kubota will ever add features like auto-throttle to the B2650 or B3050 cabbed versions like are now being offered by different manufacturers?? For us, having to go to the Grand L series to get those things wouldn't be a problem if not for going from a 60" wide tractor to a 72". Great videos!!!!

Most of those features require an electronically controlled transmission, and the resulting price tag. It would be nice to see, but I'm not sure most customers in this space could justify the cost.

[@thepandaman]

Hi Neil, have you got any figures for rough fuel consumption of the various models? Obviously it must vary a lot depending on the task, but just a ballpark would be useful. Many thanks, videos have been very informative.

[@HandfulOfTranquility]

It does VERY much depend on the task! With a lot of idling or just general driving around I can go 15-20 hours before I add another 5 gallons to my tank. That is less in winter when I am using more of the available power for snowblowing, but even then its about 40% warmup time and 60% actual work time. With these diesel engines it is very much dependent on the actual load. I think you could probably figure on around an hour per gallon if you are more working the vehicle. At a high engine speed they use around 250 grams per kw/h of power. WHats that in US measurements? Right around .1 gallons per hour per HP used if I'm doing my math right. Not sure what just sitting there idling counts as, but say you are using half the rated 26 HP so 13 HP, that would be 1.3gallons per hour. My numbers are based on the fuel consumption at 2200 RPM www.kubotaengine.com/assets/documents/11_d1305_30.pdf

[@billphillips3866]

I should have known youd have another great video for my question on another video today thanks!

[@jkwarbirds]

Did you say that there is no factory cab for the 2601? Very good video, now if only Kubota would change to a side by side pedal instead of the treadle pedal.

[@MessicksEquip]

The vast majority of the market prefers the treadle. Comes out that way every time surveys are done. There's a lot of marketing dollars spent to convince people otherwise.

[@emerkamp1]

I got a 2650 cab model, love the tractor, but find it really hard to backup and hook to anything with that pedal. You can't twist your body and work the pedal very well at all. Wish they offered both systems as an option, I'd switch. I have no problem backing up our bigger tractors...

[@erikniemi1977]

@@emerkamp1 I've got the B3350, I actually prefer the Kubota setup while reversing longer distances while snowblowing. I find that if I just sit a little sideways in the seet the pedal is right under my heal while I backup and I can look straight out the back of the cab. I don't have super long legs and find that the twin pedal reverse tractors like John Deere are a bit too far away if I'm sitting sideways in the seat. I don't like twisting my back for long periods so the Kubota pedal works for me.

[@MessicksEquip]

Just options to mate with your implement.

[@andysworld2188]

The top hole is for certain implements (I think it's the grass bagger system) that need extra lift height. 98%of the time you use the bottom hole since it lifts the most weight making it easier on for 3pt hitch.

[@hc7190]

Hi Tyler , Not sure if you ever got an answer to your question . I have the 2650 and it has many advantages over the Bx series , but the Bx is easier to get around in tight spots and low branches on trees etc. . If you do your own work like changing fluids etc. you will definitely like the higher ground clearance as you can slide right under it . It is definitely not to much tractor for 6 acres of land . You didn't give any description of your 6 acres so it is kind of hard to answer your questions properly .

Generally yes a zero-turn is better. that doesn't mean that a tractor is not perfectly acceptable for most people though.

[@pyroman6000]

Depends. Belly mowers are not so good at making the fancy schmancy patterns that some seem to like, and they're DEFINITELY not as agile, lol. However, if you just want to cut your grass they work fine. Big plus: the tractor is useful for a LOT of different jobs- the zero turn mower? Well, it can cut lawns, cut lawns or cut lawns. Both will cost you a pretty penny. Imo the 0 turn is a VERY expensive toy, unless you cut lawns for a living- or have a LOT of lawn. You might like it better if you have an obnoxious amount of trees, planters and other obstacles to mow around, as well. Both options beat stomping along behind a push mower, though!!

Because the radio I picked to put in my tractor needs a constant 12 V supply as well as the switched 12 V supply that is already in the plug for memory saving.

Kubota- Your weak link is the cheap looking lcd dash!!! Update and make it a perfect tractor👍👍

[@TJZ-rc2ie]

If I would want to upgrade from a Kubota B2910 and use it to haul large square bales. What would you recommend??

[@MessicksEquip]

All depends on the weight of the Bale. No less than MX series.

[@TJZ-rc2ie]

So do you think the Kubota L3560 would be to small to lift bales that weigh about 600 lbs?

[@MessicksEquip]

They are not too many large squares that come in at 600 pounds. depending on the Baler they're coming out of, your usually 1200-2200lbs.

I have a 2017 b2650. Has the loader joystick location and or operation changed? It looks like it’s in a different spot on yours. I’ve always felt that the stick is a bit stiff and hard to be smooth with. I am an excavator operator by trade and have 20 years of experience running equipment. I’m just not happy with the feel of the stick. I’m otherwise very happy with the tractor.

[@MessicksEquip]

That's not changed. You'll surely never get a pilot control feel from a mechanical valve.

[@Petertutinski]

Thanks for the response! I don’t expect the feel to be comparable. The only reason I give my experience is to communicate my familiarity with running equipment in general. I’m just having a hard time with fine adjustments. Once I have applied enough pressure to the stick to move the hydraulics they “jump” too abruptly. I’ve tried adjusting the throttle which helps a little. I guess if that’s just to be expected I’m disappointed with that. Like I said though I am happy overall.

B2601=No factory cab so I went with the Curtis premium cab. Have NEVER BEEN MORE DISAPPOINTED

[@jrsmyth9761]

Can you give details, please!! I'm looking at the 2601 v 2650. Curtis has 2 cabs, standard and premium. Which did you get?

@@Hobbit_Veteran i was hoping he would post model number of cab he ordered.

[@victorv4340]

I priced a B2601 with loader and backhoe on Kubota's website. Then I looked at Massey Ferguson GC1720 TLB on someone else's website. Their price is $10,000 lower. I like the hydraulic control lever for loader and forward and reverse pedals on the B2601. Why should I spend the extra money for the B260l for a couple of extra features I like better then the GC1720? Can not find a comparison between the 2 tractors. thank you for anyone's input

[@MessicksEquip]

Wrong model, this is why you need a good salesman. the equivalent tractor to the massy that you're looking at is a Kubota bx23s.

[@victorv4340]

thank you, that does help

[@johncvfd]

There is no factory cab for the B01 only the B50. For me the jump from 01 to 50 and factory cab did not fit my budget. I ordered a B2601 w Curtis premium cab. As always great video thank you

Yes why?

I wonder how much Kubota owes you for the videos you make. You probably sell more Kubotas for more dealers outside your area than you could ever know.

i drive milker tanker for a living..... large diesel trucks. buying a tractor with hp less then the EPA requirement for a DPF/SRC system is a wise decision. my employer buys emissions trucks, but personally i will never own any diesel with a DPF system. they are nothing but an expensive pain the in the ass. if i ever get stuck with one, i would research deleting the system when the warranty expires. EPA mandated hogwash

[@MessicksEquip]

I've never seen a DPF delete done on a small tractor. We don't have near the problems that the truck industry has had. The emissions systems need heat to work well, and generally your running your tractor hard so things hum along properly.

[@arkyump]

Why did they put a step on a 2650 and not on a 2601? I’m an old fart who can’t just jump up on the horse any more.

[@MessicksEquip]

The 2650 is higher, I believe the step fits the 2601 though

[@arkyump]

@@MessicksEquip I have a buddy that has the 2650 and I checked the step and the frame and the 2650 step won’t work. The 2650 has a tubing frame member, probably due to the cab configuration, and the step won’t work unless I somehow weld some support steel under the floor. I don’t think there is a solution at least from Kubota.
