- Kubota LX2610. Detailed Review. Specs. New Tractor!
A new tractor joins me here on the channel. It's the Kubota LX2610 Cab Compact Tractor! I'm very excited to introduce the new equipment and take a few minutes to outline the main features of this unit. A bitter sweet moment as I say goodbye to my old Kubota B2601 - a wonderful workhorse and reliable friend for the last 3 years. Join me for a few minutes and let's take a look at this tractor in detail. Cheers!
CORRECTION:The B2301 and B2601 models are NOT being discontinued.

Other channels grow old with growing sponsorship etc, your down to earth and unbiased nature keeps me intrigued, thanks for that!
I appreciate that! Thanks very much for the kind comment Ken. happy you are enjoying them. Take care and all the best!
Couldn’t agree with you more!
GP! No rear remotes?!! Can’t think of any attachments that will need it for?!...shucks.
1) hydraulic top link.
2) hydraulic turn on blade and/or blower shute if you or the next owner were to come across a rear mount.
3) 3 point hydraulic Log grapple. I’m sure there would have been one in your future.
4) resale
LOL. Ok where were you when I was scratching my head on this one? LOL. Thanks Garny. Perhaps a future mod. Cheers and all the best!
You need a hydraulic dump bed!!!
Lol....you jus got me thinkin 😉
I had the same decision to make on my 2650HSDC. I did NOT get them.
A year later, still trying to justify the rear remotes and have only a rear blade and grading scraper.
It all depends on your use of the tractor.
Tom Thumb I understand. And I think that is a big selling point on the Chinese and Korean tractors. Two things that i see the most for rear remotes on compact tractors are hyd. Top link and snowblower. Hyd top link with fast hitch...ain’t nothing better.
My B2650 with cab is 11 months old with 135 hours. I appreciate the cab each and every time I am in the TX heat and see creepy crawlers🙂. I wish I had the larger bucket and parking brake warning light. You will love it GP. Your dealer did a great job on the grapple hoses!!!! The whine will change pitches as you use the tractor. I do not notice it unless I am really working the tractor. Enjoy!
Greetings Gord, Lee here, Congrats on your new purchase, you look good driving it, I am really happy for you. I have a cab on my B7510 and I love it, you won't regret the cab. At first driving the cab is a different sensation, with the view you have in the cab it is alot different from the open platform, but after a while you don't even notice it and you have to make sure your door is completely closed when start to drive. Mine has a Curtis cab so the doors are not all glass, I started out of the garage and forgot to close the door on the tractor, well that episode bent the door and the bottom hinge, thank God I got the door straitened and had to only buy the hinges and door cylinder ($200.10) an expensive lesson to learn. But, come winters it does not matter about the weather anymore, you can move snow in your shirt sleeves. Enjoy your new purchase later, keep well!!
Good morning and thanks Lee! I am very excited to have it. And you are right - it is a different sensation, so I'm taking it very slow. Boy, several folks have warned me about leaving the doors open. I'll be mindful for sure. Hope all is well - have a great week!
Yessir you're going to be happy you have that cab this coming winter. Snow clearing will be more of a pleasure now with the winter's cold winds not having any effect on you.
It is a nice feeling to take delivery of a new tractor, that's for sure.
Here's to many hours and years of fun and good work with this new 'toy' !
Enjoy.
Thanks so much Reg! Have a good weekend!
Welcome to the CAB family, you will love your decision. I have a B3030 HSDC and a B2650 HSDC. You will be SO HAPPY this winter, now it really becomes fun, take your time with a coffee, snowblowing in a short sleeve shirt. No need to rush because your cold. Congrats. Great choice.
Morning OT! I can see it now, and can't wait to feel the heat, and do just that. Thanks and have a great week out there!
Just want to thank you for all your time to make the videos. It has helped me purchase a new lx 3310 can’t wait to get the tractor in the next coming weeks !
Congratulations Kevin! You must super excited!
I had my new LX2610 Cab Delivered last week. I had mine equipped exactly the same. However the rear work lights were an option. I went with the industrial tires as well, the R14’s looked just a little to aggressive to drive across my yard. I also opted out of the quick tach loader as it added 1000.00 to the price. I had my JD1025R with quick detach loader for 5 years and never removed it. I also purchased the 3rd function remote and a grapple(no more dragging limbs for this guy) If you find a good place to mount/store a tool box please let me know. Our reasons for a cab couldn’t me more different, I’m in Texas where the heat index was 111 degrees yesterday. So far I am like a 16 year old with a new car. I find myself sitting in the cab with the AC On just listening to the radio. I want to thank God for blessing me so abundantly. I know with the Covid outbreak many are dealing with illness or decreased income. My prayers are with them. In closing I know we both will enjoy our new tractors. If you discover any functionality we have missed, please let me know and I will do the same.
Good morning Brad - congrats on the new tractor. I can understand the ned for a cab - been through Texas several times and boy, you have some pretty high, humid temps there. Yes, very fortunate for sure and thankful for it. You bet- Enjoy the new tractor and all the best to you and your family.
Never saw that coming but the smart people at Larkins and Kubota must have seen the fantastic job you have done over the last 3 years with the 2601 which I'm sure resulted in sales for both companies.I hope they gave you a great deal as you were a great spokesman for their product. Your U TUBE channel has sold many tractors. LOVE THE CAB. CHEERS GP
Thanks so very much David! They were very kind to me for sure - I'm very appreciative. Thanks again and have a wonderful week!
Congratulations, on your new machine. On my first winter I was like you, open deck. The year after i got a soft cab with a heater. Man what a difference. You will never go back with no cab. Happy for you. Enjoy.
Thanks so much Gilles! I am looking forward to the snow now. All the best!
Upon reflection, I strongly suggest you contact your dealer about adding hydraulic 'tip and tilt" to the 3 point. This will allow you to have a hydraulic top and side links controlled from inside the tractor. Now that you have a cab with air and heat, you will find yourself dressing much lighter in the winter when using the tractor. Getting out of the tractor to manually adjust link lengths will be an unpleasant experience. Having the two additional levers inside the cab will relieve you of that annoyance. If you don't already have one, I also suggest a battery tender.
Good evening Don. Thanks for the great advice. A few others suggested to as well so I am reconsidering it. Thanks again - good suggestion!
I couldn't agree more. First time I used rear remote for top-link, we retro--fitted our other tractors, even a 60s model 601. The last new one I bought, I had three rear remotes, use all three two or TnT and one for scarifiers. In a year or so, I will be replacing one of my older tractors with an LX and it will have a minimum of two rear remotes. In the long run, it really isn't that expensive.
WOW! You really caught me off guard with this announcement! Congratulations GP, it sure will be nice in the winter for you! It is a beautiful machine! Plus a parking brake light. Man, you are living large now!! But... you are going to be fighting Carol for the key! Cheers my friend!
Hi GP,
Congratulations on the new toy! You have graduated to the tractor cab club! Kubota did a nice job with a cab on such a small tractor! Deluxe in every way! Now I won't be able to kid you about a cab in the winter. But while it will be great in the winter, I believe that you will also really enjoy it in the summer getting out of the heat and humidity! Awesome sized machine as well in case you need to trailer it.
Thanks Tom. Yup, no more ribbing me out there warming my hands on the exhaust pipe. LOL. Thanks again - I am pretty excited - have a great week!
Congratulations Gord, you will enjoy the cab. The Larkin family is great to deal with. I bought my first zero turn from them back in 2004 and buy all my parts from them.
Thanks Chris! Great group of folks there - happy I found them. Have a great week!
Nice tractorGP, but be careful. You have a whole cab now you have to watch out for. Didn't take me long to wipe out my canopy on a tree. Bent it up and tractor popped a big wheelie. Done it three times already and keep forgetting it's there. Guess I have to face it, just not mature enough for a cab tractor. Enjoy yours, looks like a great snow blower for winter.
Hey good day MNP! Nice to hear form you. Thanks and yes, I am driving extra slow and cautious. I know what you mean - much more to watch out for all the time. Hope you are doing great!
@@GPOutdoors Funny thing, here in Florida. Guys buy these B-cabs with belly mowers for their wives. They have air conditioning, Bluetooth stereo, cup holder. They're so pleased by it, they don't realize the whole chore of mowing has been passed to them. She's happy, got a new tractor with a she shed. He's happy, because he's not mowing anymore.
Gordon you will love it! I went from a L3410 to a L5740. What a difference. The heater and A/C are terrific!
Thanks JP!
There is something to be said about your relationship. I live in lake Barrington IL and do not enjoy going into my local John Deere dealer. I own a 2000 John Deere 4300 with very low hours. I have spent thousands upon thousands dollars over the years and they show no appreciation. I shop there because of necessity not because of the customer service. Congrats on the new tractor. Absolutely love you channel. Dan Antman Lake Barrington IL.
Sorry to hear that Daniel - must be difficult. I am pretty fortunate - good folks there. Thanks for watching and for the kind comments. Have a great week and all the best!
Now this is exciting! We have been considering a new tractor for our property and a cab-model LX2610 is top of our list right now. Very eager to hear what you think of the tractor GP. Keep up the great work, love the videos and greetings from New Brunswick!
Good morning Steve! Great timing, I think. Thanks for tuning in for this morning's Premiere. I am pretty excited! Talk to you soon!
@@GPOutdoors wow nice lx2610 looked on there site they sure have great deals on them and probbly great trade in value thats like my dealer here in pei there great guys great job larkin family cheers
Steve Cooper
my buddy russell and patrick sell ya one hes over in norton N.B or my other buddy here in pei trent at good equipment he'll sell ya one as well plus they'll send it to ya
GP, if the LX lives up to the B 2601 you will be a happy man. I’m happy for you !
Cheers Wayne!
Very happy for you! I know you are going to love having a cab. The only down side is you can no longer say to cold or to hot or to many flies. ENJOY THE NEW TOY!
LOL! Cheers Rick!
Looks like a good tractor for your Land and channel. I would love having a cab but not sure how much more I would use the tractor to justify the considerable cost. I have a 2013 L3200 gear drive for field and trail work and prefer a gear drive for those jobs. And a 2019 B2301 hydro dedicated loader tractor that your channel helped influence. They are both just about perfect for my 80 acre property in MN. I only put about 30-40 hrs a year on the L3200 but I need to have equipment on hand for projects. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Cleon! I will miss the 2601 for sure but am very happy to have the heat for this winter. Take care and all the best!
Hi GP, your new tractor cab and controls looks identical to my B2650 with the awesome exception of a parking brake light. Do yourself a favour and flip your antenna upside down. I learned the hard way that if you clip a branch with your rear view mirror, it will swing in and clip off your antenna. Mounting it upside down doesn't impact performance and will save you a costly repair.
I did get the rear remote option on my tractor to run the rear mount backhoe. Am also thinking it might be handy if I want to add a rear tilt control for my box blade.
You will definitely love the cab when clearing snow this winter.
Cheers, paul
Thanks for the great tip Paul. Will do! Have a great weekend!
never thought of that yet i was pushing brush over yesterday with some branches higher than my cab (so could of happened) ill do that now with the antenna. Thanks for the tip..
You will definitely appreciate your cabin this winter!
Nice tractor and all digital. Good for you and drive safely
Thanks so much Marc! You bet!
Enjoy your new tractor. We just picked up our LX2610 a few weeks ago and have been enjoying it ever since. Thank you for the video!
It looks like there are a few minor upgrades from the B2650 HSDC that I bought last fall but it's pretty much the same. The cab has been great in the summer heat and keeps the bugs off. I've brush hogged stuff higher than the top of the cab. I got the front third function too. I have a grapple, forks, land plane, and brush cutter. Quick attach and quick hitch. Awesome little tractor! I built a sizeable chicken coop in my shed, and used the forks to move it where we wanted.
That's great - sounds like it is working out well for you. Thanks and all the best!
My wife has ordered this model for me for Christmas with 5 attachments, bucket, grapple, mower, back hoe and big tool box thanks to your channel. We both love learning about this rig through your channel before it gets delivered to us on December 20th. Love your channel will send a pic once received! Thanks again for all of your information, very valuable! We have a similar property in Nova Scotia
Good for you! I bought the 3043D (43 horse) John Deere standard transmission without the cab. After a few hours realized I hated it, and the southern heat is brutal. I upgraded to the John Deere 4052R (52 horse) with a cab, hydrostat transmission, heat and air, and all the bells and whistles. I love it! I am unfamiliar with the major differences between Kubota and John Deere. I just went on the recommendation of some friends of mine. Very proud that you got the cab tractor. You'll love it in those cold winters up there. Have a blessed day!
Congratulations on the upgrade Gord! Your gonna LOVE the cab! Not quite as handy in the woods, but the pluses FAR out way any trade offs. Just wait till winter, when you can run out and snowblow in your pajamas lol! I know, own a Grand L. One piece of advice, get in the habit of CLOSING the door EVERY time you get in. Even if moving an inch to an implement. CLOSE THE DOOR
Man o man GP..!! You'll be riding high and in style this winter. If anyone deserves a bit of dealer support it is you and your channel. I am stoked and am waiting for that first 16" Central Ontario snowfall !! Your new LX sure has all my old tractors taking a back seat in the comfort department. Awesome detail in the video sir.
Good morning and thanks T! I am pretty excited and probably the only guy waiting for the snowfall. LOL. It will be a big relief having some heat this year. Cheers!
Wow nice tractor Gord . Bring on the snow , cold , heat and the bugs . Can't wait to see you put that baby to work . Congrats . You have earned it .
Morning and thanks very much Henry! I feel kind of spoiled. Have a good weekend and all the best!
Hi G.P. I commented on the live show. Congratulations on the new LX I've been thinking new tractor as well and the LX has been at the front and from seeing yours and your explanation I think that's what I'll be getting. Thanks for the does and don'ts. They cleared a lot of questions. Have to be careful with the glass but it's worth it. Getting to old for the heat and cold so climate control is a welcome option. Thanks for sharing have a good time with the new toy and have a wonderful weekend
Good morning Ron! Thanks! I'm with you. I think it's time to be warm in the cold of winter. I went over to help Guy yesterday and we skidded logs out of the forest. It sure was nice to have the AC. It also feels a lot different driving over uneven ground so I am taking it slow and keeping mainly to the trails and open areas for now. It's raining today - but that's ok now..:)) I may re-think rear remotes - a few folks made some good suggestions - hydraulic control link, dump trailer etc, which I may want in the future. Good luck and thanks again Ron! Let me know how it goes!
Nice little unit 👌. True appreciation is during the winter when you're nice and warm.
Can't wait to have heat this winter season. So very happy. Cheers!
Awesome GP. Glad to see you got a nice can tractor. Now you will be wanting more snow instead of dreading it. Cruising your driveway removing snow with the heat blowing, radio jamming, and coffee in the cupholder..... living the dream. Best of luck with your new tractor and great review. Be blessed and congratulations...
Great upgrade!! Can not wait for first video of you guys breaking in the LX 2610!! So your dealer is out of the B2650 on his lot.Have great weekend!
You bet Greg!
Welllll... I can think of no one more deserved of this upgrade. Makes me smile to know you'll be covered in warmth this winter while plowing or snow blowing. Congratulations!
Thanks very kindly Edward! I am very happy to know I'll be warm this winter too - it was the primary reason. I am giving up some flexibility in the forest but I figured it was best to start thinking about the cold before too long. Thanks again and have a wonderful week!
Very nice! ✔ At 4:25 is a brief example to show it- You can use the 2 top side edges of the bucket to show You also what angle the bottom of the bucket is at just by glancing at one of the side top edges of the bucket. If they are pitched up, level or pointing down- you know instantly what the bottom front edge will perform. I am happy for You.
Thanks so much Tim! And for the good tip! Have a nice weekend!
You made the right tire choice! R14 tires are a great tire, but they are only 6 ply thick! The 12 ply R4 are the best choice for those of us working in the forest where we encounter rocks, sharp edges of stumps, sharp chunks of wood, etc.
I was under the impression that the “little” Bs 2301/2601 are still around and the LX are basically a name change for the “Big” Bs to differentiate them from the smaller ones.
I think you are correct, the LX replaces the 2650 and 33?? which are bigger and on different frames than the 01 series.
The 01 series is still around. The LX is replacing the 50 series.
Correct
Correct, B2301 and B2601 are the B series, and the 2650 becomes LX2601, since it's a larger frame that bridges B and L. Messick's had a great video showing the full kubota line
Also think they got ride of the b3350 due to the DPF filter issue in cold, B3350 had some quite bad review so they replaced the engine and a new DPF setup when they went to LX series.
Hey Gord congrats on the new tractor. It is always nice to get something new like this, I am sure you will figure it out over time. All the best and happy learning.
Thanks 👍 Wayne! Cheers!
GP. Awesome tractor! You are gonna love your tractor in the snow and will love the heated cab. Also you will love the AC in the summer. Something to consider with a the rear hydraulic. You can put a piston on the rear blade and in the winter as you are snow blowing and using the rear blade you can angle the blade without leaving the cab.
The radio is awesome and I use my bluetooth headset connected to my phone connect to the radio and can listen to classical music from London! The pros of being comfortable in the cab out weight the practical part of an open cockpit. With the open cockpit, going through the forest is a lot easier.
So very glad you have a new tractor.
Good day and thanks so much Jean! I am pretty excited. That's a great point about the hydraulic rear blade. Maybe I need to rethink that. Thanks for the great idea. Hope you are keeping well and staying busy. Keep smiling and all the best!
@@GPOutdoors Glad you liked the idea of the rear hydraulics. I am going to put a piston on my flail mower so I can mow under trees branches without getting my tractor scratched up. I like the flail mower as it is compact, fits in my garage easier than a rear mower. I can put finish blades on, but I have the blades that will cut up small branches, etc. So what is your first project??
That's a great idea Jean. I was out skidding logs with Guy and Bill yesterday. Sure was nice. :)) Feels very different going over bumps or uneven terrain. Thanks again Jean!
Also I didn’t go with cab even tho I wanted a/c n heat so bad but goin thru woods n low tree branch’s I couldn’t see myself tearing up the tractor like that ...if it was easy off easy on for tilling or snow plowing I would but can’t now...surprise ya did it for the same reason... woods n scratching the side of cab up...on another note....I love it n I’m happy for you n like the rest of guys that worked hard ...you deserve it!
Good morning GP!
Congrats on the new ride my friend! What a beautiful machine! I understand the bittersweet feelings. I was very excited when I received my NH Workmaster, but the nearly 30 year old Kubota that it replaced was like an old friend. I'm sure I'll run Orange again someday! Stay safe Sir. Peace.
Hey great to hear form you HH! Thanks so much. Very excited. But for sure, I'll miss my B! Hope you are keeping well. Take good care and all the best!
Nice upgrade to the B2601 tractor. Guy is going to be jealous come this winter, now that you have a cab tractor to clear snow. It'll also be great in the heat of the summer with the air conditioning.
Definitely caught me by surprise wasn't expecting a new tractor video congratulations on the new lx they look like a very well designed machine makes me want a cab for my standard L
LOl! Thanks Matt! I am looking forward to the heat this winter. So far so good - be well!
I cant wait to see more videos i am waiting on my lx2601 open cab to be delivered and just cant wait to see some good videos of these tractors in action.
Congrats Justin! I am sure every day seems like a year while you are waiting. LOL. Take care and hope you get it soon!
What a coincidence. I just took delivery of my LX2610 ROPS model a week ago. My land is almost the opposite of yours; mostly pasture and horses, but I also configured it with R4 tires and 3rd function valve. Opted not to get the cab model but I will admit the A/C would be nice this time of year with our 95+ temps. I'm enjoying using mine and I looking forward to watching you put yours to work as well.
Good stuff and congrats Rex! I am looking forward to keeping warm this winter. Big change for me and lots more to learn. Take care and be safe out there!
Hey GP, congrats on the new Kubota! I totally understand the switch to a cab for you, those snowbowing days must have gotten a little chilly at times. I'm sure you'll love it. I have a 1/2 mile driveway to blow with my new B2601. We get cold in northern Wisconsin, but not like you get. I'll try toughing it out with no cab. Have fun with the new tractor!!
Thanks Jeff! You are absolutely right. I loved my 2601 but last winter I started to realize the old bones were not taking the cold as well as they used to, and 2 hours out there snowplowing I think got the best of me. I'll miss being able to weave around in the forest for sure. Thanks again - all the best!
Congratulations Gord! Welcome to the cab club. Absolutely nothing like the comfort in the winters. Please keep us apprised of the noise levels in the cab. Best wishes and stay safe!!
Thanks Dean! You bet - All the best!
Great new addition to your cottage Gord, glad you will be warmer. Watch out for branches...you will enjoy it. Neighbor has one similar to yours, loves it.
I finally had time to open the hood, found a pile of dry meadow seed powder in the radiator area , had to clean it. Gonna check the engine oil and HST fluid clarity tomorrow and swap out the fuel and HST filter. The previous owner put 21 hours year 1, and another 22.5 hours in three years after...so my dealer suggest a few quick filter swaps and possibly the oil and hydrostatic oil if not in good shape.
Gonna try and take it out on the drive away tomorrow, if I can clean out the garage to get it out. Others wise just fire it up.
Funny thing I have a champion 22 ton wood splitter at the old house and it looked big in the old garden shed as it took up lots of room. The splitter is dwarfed by my tractor when you see them side by side. Lol.
Good to hear you are getting through things Sunjay. Always a lot of work to get settled in and get your place in running order. But lots of fun too when you get it done and all is working or running smoothly. Let me know how it goes!
Congratulations gord always a lot of luck with your new traktor!he will bring you warm on the driveway during the winter and keeps the flys off during sommer .all the best ceers michael
Thanks very much Michael! Yes i am looking forward to winter - should be a lot nicer and easier now. Hope you and your family are all doing well. Take good care!
One other thing. In winter if your cab windows fog turn your air conditioner on along with your heat. It will take the moisture out and clear the windows.
You will enjoy the cab. My newest tractor id a MF 4707 with the engine EcoTuned to 105 HP. It is a cab model. I took the exterior mirrors off because 1.) i seldom take it on the road, and 2.) tree branches were slapping them and occasionally folding them against the cab doors making it difficult to open the doors. You going into the woods may think about that too...
We are looking at the LX3310. It has more PTO HP that we will need for the rear mounted inverted blower. We may not get the FEL as we really don't need it for our snow removal. If we come across a need for a FEL we can always use our BX. Great looking tractor bud. Can't wait to see ya cruising along your driveway blowing snow from the warm comfort of that cab. -John
Good morning and great to hear from you TPG! Hope summer has been good to you. Yup - won't be long before old man winter sneaks up on us. Good for you guys- best of luck with the purchase! Cheers!
Wow,...super nice one.
I'll be back later to finish watching this video.
You know, Saturday chores first!!
Good day Reg! Yup, those chores wait patiently every week for you. :)) Thanks and all the best!
Congratulations on the new tractor. You will love the cab. Best decision I made when I went with mine.
Thanks Ryan!
Nice little tractor...very tempting. My only hesitation is my tractor it is 24 yrs old and runs so good its hard to give up.....and yes it is orange.
Out with the Old in with the New. Congratulations on the new Tractor, look forward to seeing you use it on future projects Best of Luck
Thanks Bruce!
Hey man, my wife and I just bought 18 acres, wooded in Washington State, a true dream come true, has salmon run creeks and everything. Obviously we need a tractor, and I have found your channel and videos to be incredibly helpful in regards to the tractor. I'm a handy guy, but know very little about tractors, and after watching your videos, our initial tractor build has morphed and evolved and grown and decreased in costs. However, I feel much better informed and feel like I have a very clear understanding of not only what I not and need, and the land/use purpose behind the items and not wasting money on "toys" that aren't purpose serving. so thanks my friend. would love to chat about a few other things if opportunity permits. still undecided about the cab model, while nice, might be unnecessary for us, would love to chat individually about your experience, though we don't get to negative temps. but we reach the 100's-110's, surprising I know, lol. climate change.
George M from Howell Michigan. Congratulations on your new tractor. I own a B2650 Cab model, much the same size as your LX2610 tractor, I purchased it last fall. I just finished fabricating and installing front fenders. Last winter I experienced enough mud thrown up on the lower and sometimes upper front windows from the front tires that I did not want repeat that scenario this year. I have fabrication experience, I am retired now, but, my career was in fleet maintenance and heavy truck building for a local government road agency. I have watched all of your videos, I really appreciate how you produce them, they are great. Keep up the good work. If you and your neighbor Guy are interested in a front fender project, I can send you photos and material list suggestions. It is a bit of a task, but worth the effort if mud on your windows is an issue. And, it isn't so difficult once someone has figured it out. Again, thank you for your videos, I enjoy them. God bless, and yes, be kind!
Congrats Gord ! I have been thinking the same thing lately as well. I love my B2601 but the LX3310 keeps calling my name. Looking forward to your future videos.
Thanks Brian! I'll miss the old girl but I certainly am welcoming the heat and AC. Take care!
Hi i bought my B2650 with cab about the same time you bought your first tractor . The first winter i cleared my road wearing a light jacket you forget the cost of upgrade to cab. This last summer i cut alot of grass the cab and radio can spoil you very quickley .In and around the trees i call the scratches bush pinstripping Good luck you wont look back Rob
LOL! That is funny Rob - bush pinstriping! Thanks so much for the good info - I am looking forward to winter. :0! Take care Rob!
Very nice tractor! You deserve a nice machine like this! Hope it serves you well and keeps you warm this winter!
Thanks KH!
I was there today and they told me your old tractor been sold I am looking into one and probably I should consider the lax series as you told me before .enjoy your new toy and be safe
Good morning Antoine! I didn't know that - thanks. Good luck with the new tractor purchase!
Really cool. I’m jealous😎. 2011 B3200 and L285 80s era, still. runs like a champ! 😎.
Hello GP,
Congratulations on your new Tractor, lots of nice features and a bit more capacity. We look forward to seeing you nice and cozy this winter snow blowing your driveway, .....with tunes.
All the best,
Ben from Nova Scotia
Thanks very much Ben! I am really happy to know I will have heat this winter. Hope you are well!
Congratulations! I took delivery of my LX2610HSDC two weeks ago with almost exactly the same options, except I also picked up the BH77 backhoe. I already have 36 hours on it and have been very pleased with its capabilities.
Good morning Tom! That's great to hear. I am getting used to it and trying to run it cautiously during this break in period. It's raining out there today but now I don't mind. :)) Enjoy your new tractor and let me know how it is going from time to time. Take care!
GP good luck with the new LX2610 tractor. For logging I thought the B was small for you. Since you have a zero turn mower now a larger tractor makes sense.
Awesome set up!! That should make the winter driveway clearing a joy! Not to mention the let it snow or rain while working! Congrat’s !! 👍🤠
Hey good day LTD! Yup, I am pretty happy - no more chills! Have a wonderful weekend!
Congrats on your new tractor! I wound never have thought you were on the market for a change... hope you will make a video on your motivations for that change, i guess the cab. Enjoy!
Morning and thanks Conrad! Yes, primarily had a little trouble with the cold and rain and snow this past Fall and Winter. Loved my 2601 but realized that the future needed heat and cover. Take care!
Congratulations! My first tractor was a used Kubota M9540 with a ROPS. It was and remains a great tractor. Last year I bought my first NEW tractor, a B2650 with a cab. Having two tractors, both a 95hp as well as a 26hp works well for me. I know that you will really enjoy the conditioned and dry cab all year long, though you might find at times during nice summer days that you might miss the open cab of the ROPs model. Now that you know more about tractors, you might find yourself eyeing a possible used second tractor. LOL Tractors are addictive.
One of the habits that I felt was important to adopt for my new cab tractor, was to ALWAYS close the doors when maneuvering the tractor to attach or unhook implements. The doors are very expensive to replace (so I've been told), and It would be very easy to bump into something if my attention is focused elsewhere. Kind of like getting into a hurry and forgetting to raise the bucket off the ground. LOL
Thats some great advice TK. i actually did it this morning and stopped and went back and closed it. I will for sure. Thanks again!
Absolutely a good idea! I take a lot of wind my way, so I close the door no matter what when I'm out of the cab.
Wow! Congratulations Gord! It caught me by surprise so good that I had to do a “double-take” on the 1st 30 seconds of the video to make sure I was seeing correctly!,,,lol. You’re obviously tickled-pink about your new upgrade, as you should be. You’ve earned it! :-)). I’m gonna stick my neck out and say that you have quite a collection of fans and admirers on your channel, and quite a few of us are as excited as you are on your new tractor! I can certainly appreciate your bittersweet moment, been there as well too many times. Enough of the mushy stuff,,,lol, go enjoy your new tractor 🚜 (p.s. I apologize for the colour, it was the only one available,,, lol). Paul N.B.
LOL! Good morning Paul and thanks for the wonderful comments today. I am very excited about having heat this coming winter. And the AC and less bugs this summer was nice too. :)) Thanks again - have a great week!
Congratulations Gord! That’s an awesome new tractor! So glad you’ll be much warmer during the winter snow plowing. I’m looking forward to seeing it in action. Thanks for sharing! Cheers!
Thanks Martin! Me too. Toasty warm for the winter. :)) Cheers!
Wow, a cabbed tractor. Hopefully it is something you will get to keep and enjoy during the cold of winter and during the bug biting season. I will have to check back later, have to head to the farm this morning and get some chores accomplished.
Good morning Brad. Thanks! Yes, mine for keeps. Have a great day at the farm!
@@GPOutdoors congrats! Just watched the video. It looks like you have yourself a wonderful tractor that will be a joy to use.
Congratulations GP, i remember in the beginning u mentioning that u really didn't want a cab based on the work u had to do in the woods but i always felt sorry for u when it came to the winter time without a cab on the tractor but as u said it going to be warmer this winter for u, good and informative video Gord as always, thanks brother, greetings from New Brunswick.
Good day and thanks very much Mitala! Yes, it was a big consideration but this past fall and winter were cold and I realized the old bones could use a little heat, so I guess I won't be weaving in and out through the forest anymore - I'll have to stick to the trails, I think. Thanks again and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
Gr8 to see you get the new tractor Gord. Looking forward to seeing you put it to work
Got it out today Don! Such a big difference. Feels odd to have all that glass around me. Cheers and thanks again!
Have a BX and if I ever decide to move up it’s gonna be an LX cab model.
Hi Gord,
Wow, that tractor is a beauty! It looks like just the ticket for what you are doing out at the cabin. I think you will very happy with your new rig……😁
Good day and thanks Mick! I am pretty excited to have heat this coming winter. Can't wait! Hope you are keeping busy and all is well!
💥 Well this was a nice surprise video! I had no idea you were in the market for a new machine. The cab is going to suit your needs nicely this winter.
*Keep on tractoring!* 👍
Thanks so much Jon! Heat! Can't wait for the snow to fly. I'm ready for it now. LOL! Have a good weekend!
Bummer. As a 2601 owner I always enjoyed viewing your videos which hit closr to home. As Georgae Harrison has said 'All Thing Must Pass'. Good luck my friend. Looks like an awesome machine and I wish you well with it. Cheers!
Thanks A! All the best to you as well!
@@GPOutdoors Thanks so much. I very much appreciate what you do my firend. Keep up the great work?
Congratulations on your new Kubota tractor...I am looking at bx2380..I will have to call your dealer they are not far from me....
Thanks very much Dennis! My brother recently got a BX2680. Loves it. He has about 1 1/2 acres so it is perfect for him. Good luck and let me know how it goes!
....... well done G.P.... well done !
............ ROCK ON !!!!!
LOL! Thanks Bubba!
Can't wait to hear yours comments...I bought the 3310 and like it even if my old mx5200 was doing great but a bit big. One bad thing about the LX is the noise of the HST, you can't hear the radio. Love the cab.
Pierre Bastien I think there is a FB post or YT video where someone installed sound material to fix the noise problem.
Good morning Pierre! Thanks so much for this comment. I was going to call the dealer - I wasn't sure it it was to supposed to whine so much. I feel better now. Cheers!
@@danielchambers1958 Thanks, I'll do a research. With the backoe on it's worst
Pierre Bastien - I have a B2650 cab model and concur with you on the “hydro whine” - my only real complaint with it. Otherwise, it’s a great tractor and is perfect for my application. Looks like the seat may be slightly upgraded on the LX. I’m also going to search for the posts Daniel Chambers mentioned about reducing the noise, but please post back here if you find something. The whine is noticeably worse when you engage the cruise control lever on mine - makes me think there must be someplace in the cab mounting that couples the noise into the cab.
@@scottfechtig9668 I have the B3350 and have exactly the same problem with the Whine. I have to wear headphones inside the cab! Surprisingly, with headphones on, I can hear the radio skightly better
Congratulations Gord !!👍👍 Really a great looking new tractor. You have a lot of cutting and trimming to get done quickly before you snag something on the new cab. Open the trails and paths for the next step up in tractors just to be safe. You’ll be happier with the wider open trails. You did a great job giving a quick once over on the LX-2610 KUBOTA, you are going to love the cab features once you get use to it and the trails safely opened up. Thanks for sharing with us and may you always have a great relationship with your Kubota families!
Excited to see the new tractor in action! If you are looking into a snowblower upgrade, look into Pronovost snowblowers out of Quebec. I have a Pronovost Puma 54" 3pt blower on my Kubota and it is an absolute beast and VERY well built.
Nice looking unit. Did you get the new tire chains? You most likely will find the rear view mirrors to be more aggravation than benefit when in narrow confines. I had the radio taken out of my L6060. Why? The cab is good at reducing noise, but also the sounds the tractor is making. Listen to what your tractor is telling you!!!! The heater will drive you out and the airconditioning will freeze you out. Be sure to keep a very close eye on the cooling coils in the engine compartment. Just cleaning the screens is not even close to enough. I dropped my rear tire pressure to about 13 lbs. Really helped traction. Do not lower the fronts from factory specs! I also got rear window defoggers. You may try having the airconditioning on low with the heat temp up in the winter to keep the cab glass clear. Did you get a front blower driven off your mid PTO?
Wow! Congratulations! That’s awesome! And you have a cab for those -3838383° Ontario mornings!
LOL! Thanks Andrew. Yes, super excited to have some heat this coming winter. Take care and hope your family are all doing well!
Thank you for all your videos. I'm looking at getting a quote for an LX2610 from my local dealer. I'm from Midland, ON.
You are most welcome Paul. That's great - you must be getting excited, especially if it is your first tractor. Good luck and let me know how it turns out. Cheers!
I use that rear Remote to operate a hydraulic top link, so nice for box blading.
Happy for you Gord. You'll be able to blow snow without even putting your coat on.
Thanks so much Mike! I'm looking forward to it. Take care!
Great choice on your new tractor Gord. My LX was delivered at the end of June and is near identical but I went with two rear remotes and turf tires. They are a great tractor and you will really enjoy the cab in the summer and winter.
Thanks Stephen. Are the remotes helpful? I am rethinking that choice. What are you using them for? Thanks!
@@GPOutdoors My main reason is that I plan on picking up a rear mount blower and will use them to for the chute. My driveway is nowhere near as long as yours and I will use the loader to clear snow from around the house.
Congrats on the new tractor. Love my cab during winter snow blowing. cheers.. oh, and nothing gets you over the last one, like the new one
Wow is right, I had no idea. I have a 2 year old B2650 with cab. The LX2601 looks like the same tractor, but: Kubota added some nice additions. Standard rear working lights, parking brake light, upgraded seats, dash rear PTO switch and speakers are what I see different than my B2650. All nice additions. I added rear working lights and love them. I want to figure out how to add a brake "on" light, I haven't needed to use the rear PTO while not on the seat, but I do see the benefit. As far as the speakers I prefer to wear a radio ear muffs help protect my hearing a little better.
I sure would use the rear remotes, which I also do not have, but I may do the "poor man" option and run two hoses off of my 3rd function "diverter" (not sure if that is the correct name) to the back of the tractor to run a hydraulic top link in the future
You'll love the cab. I am in Minnesota and bought the cab for Winter use, but soon realized it is so nice in the Summer as well. No bugs, dust and the A/C is awesome.
Congratulations!!!!!
Thanks Mr. D! Thanks for the info - I am rethinking the remotes but yes, enjoying the AC and bug free environment too. Most excited about this coming winter. Thanks again!
I would like to see it with snow blower thank You Jim Fisher
Hey Jim! Great question - go onto my channel homepage ( click on my channel icon) - there are lots of winter videos after this one you just watched , with the front mount blower in action! Cheers!
That's a real beaut looking tractor GP, congratulations. A great overview and your reasons for the optional extras was interesting. I know you will be more comfortable plowing your driveway, but I always thought you were as hard as nails on the tractor in -40 conditions and I enjoyed watching it. Now I'll expect to see you plowing the driveway in the cab with your budgie smugglers on, otherwise I'll think you have gone soft. Looking forward to seeing you putting the new tractor to use.
LOL!! If I do, I'll have to keep the camera off me . :)) Yup, the old bones needed a little break in the heart of winter. Thanks Mate!
Nice addition to the family. Now for the modifications. If it were my tractor, the first thing I'd do is get some sort of heavy mesh and add it to front grille guard to make sure that nothing comes through to damage up front. 🙃🙃🙃
Nice new tractor. Cab version has some PROS, but also some CONS. Annoying HST noise inside tha cab. So finally I didnt choose it..
Very true. Congrats on the new tractor you decided on - All the best!
Very Nice..... you will appreciate the cab come winter and even the a/c in the summer. It looks very similar to a B2650 cab model. I have a front mount snow blower and my wife blows snow in her pyjamas. I added a LED light bar to the roof of the cab and its like daylight. Looking forward to your upcoming adventures with this new model.
Hi BP and congrats on the new tractor... You will appreciate the cab this winter... We found out that when we bought ours... Stay Safe..God Bless...Chief..{NYS/ADK}
Thanks very much Chief! I'll be warm this winter for sure. I'm looking forward to it. Hope all is well for you and your family. Take good care!
We have a family cottage on Raven Lake… have been to your town many times… great video… we hope to buy our LX 2610 this Spring…
