Great review...going from a B2601 to a B2650....I have the EXACT same “gripes” between the two models. The first thing I noticed with your first LX video was the louder HST whine. I felt the same way when I unloaded my B2650 off the trailer when bringing it home. I am also miffed with the jerky forward/rear engagement of the HST on mine compared to the 2601. I only have 20ish hours on the 2650 and sold the 2601 with a little over 100 hrs. I am hoping things free up in the next 50 hrs or so. I thought that maybe they used regular UDT instead of super UDT? I’d be interested to see if/when you change your hyd. Fluid, if the whine/engagement issues get better. That is an expensive experiment, though...Super UDT isn’t cheap and it needs a lot of it! Thanks again for the videos, they are always enjoyable! Cheers from PA!

Thank you again for a great video sharing your review of your tractor. I own a B2650 Cab model, much the same as your LX2601. I commented a while back and asked about the whine in the cab, you didn't comment about that, and I figured you would have an opinion later. You did. My dealer says the whine is "normal", I do not agree with that. I have lined the bottom of my cab (removed and reinstalled the seat for the job) with "dynamat" sound deadener / absorbent material, and put black vinyl over the dynamat. It made NO difference. If you may be considering trying that, I suggest you don't waste your and effort. I have researched the "whine" and have heard of it getting less over time, changing the transmission oil has been said to help. I just changed my transmission oil and filters, at 236 hours to see if the whine will diminish. I don't have an opinion on that yet as I haven't driven the tractor since I changed the oil and filters. I plan to install a decibel meter app on my phone so I can measure the noise to see if I am improving the situation or not. What I did do, was install a radio and a jack for headphones. That really helps. I use 3M WorkTune headphones. I believe they also work on Bluetooth. I recently watched a video on putting spray insulation foam inside of the ROPS tube to deaden the whine noise. When I worked, I'm retired now, I was in the heavy truck heavy equipment maintenance industry. I do think there is credence to the thought of the spray foam inside the ROPS tube, or any hollow cab tube. I know from my work experience that most of the time, this type of noise often if not always magnifies through cab mounts and especially through hollow tubing. I apologize for the essay here, but again thank you for your review, and I will be working on the cab noise as I am sure you and a bunch of your subscribers will also. God bless, and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Hi GP Outdoors... I was planning to go see my JD dealer today to get the quoting process started, but after viewing your initial review (and this one on the LX2610) last night decided to add a visit to my local Kubota dealer as well. I must say I was IMPRESSED! You have a beautiful tractor... they had one just like it on the lot and I agree with everything you've stated in your initial review. I was telling the Sales guy about your excellent 4-month review as well and forwarded him the link to this video pointing out the time-stamp where you talk more in depth about the 3 issues. I asked him for that dealership's insight as well once they review this. I'll let you know if they bestow any new wisdom on the problems. For sure a beautiful rig... probably my leading candidate right now (without seeing the official quote). Best regards.

Thanks very much Rick and congratulations on a soon to be tractor. I'd be interested in knowing if the JD's have a similar hydraulic whine. Some folks have said they do - all hydros do to some level I am learning. My transmission is certainly smoother now but I might offer that you should be able to ask to drive the models around on the lot for 15-20 minutes to test drive and hear and feel them. All the tractor companies are suffering from long backlogs and delays now so I understand that getting anything ordered in that is not on the lot is a long wait. ( I waited an extra 3 months to get mine). Good luck and let me know how it turns out Rick!

Greetings from Wisconsin! I still remember thinking this was the perfect tractor for you. I think I'd still go with my L2501 because I've only have 7ft garage doors, and I'll never give up my heated shop or my other 3 car garage for my implements. I've got the same whine from my hydraulics, but I'll say my L2501 is super smooth in operation. The "lack of feel" on implements is so spot on, I see the work it is doing, but am amazed how I don't feel it. I run huge implements and just added 3" wheel spacers, I'm currently making homemade tire chains, which I love how they're turning out. I think the biggest downfall of these compact utility tractors are their narrow rear ends. I couldn't imagine the top heavy feel with a cab. Well I've rambled again. Take care

I had a Deere 1025r and never had an issue, this Kubota is essentially the same horsepower as that tractor but side-by-side comparison you would think the Kubota is a much larger tractor with larger frame, tires etc..., the cab is well appointed and very airtight. The LX 2610 is a rock solid compact tractor that does all I need and then some and should hold its value. I’m very blessed to have it.

Hi Gord, My LX2610 was delivered yesterday! I have only driven it around the yard, but I do love the cab. Mine also has the whine and the transmission "Jump" like you mentioned. I had an open station L301 and that also had the whine, so I ended up getting a blue tooth headset and that took care of that issue. I'm hoping that, over time, the transmission "Jump" will go away.....We shall see. With the smaller yard we now have, I think this LX2610 will be perfect for my needs. It will be primarily used for mowing, driveway maintenance and snow plowing. I'm waiting on the delivery of my brush hog, rear work lights, third function valve kit and blue tooth radio!

Great video I love how you covered just about everything and covered all of the major differences that YOU found as a tractor owner.. this is beer important knowledge for us non B or LX owners to have who are looking at buying one because the dealer certainly isn’t gonna point this stuff out. Iv really been looking at the B2401 a lot lately.. as you know I always wanted to trade my BX in for a B2601 or 2301 but when I recently discovered they kade a gear driven 2401 that really got my blood flowing because I love nothing more than to be in perfect tune with the machine I’m using and tho a gear driven machine certainly isn’t for everyone.. a gear driven tractor has always made me feel one with the tractor and Iv always felt I could work the tractor harder and to much more potential. Some day I’m gonna go to a dealer to test drive one to see if it’s what I really want but if it goes well who knows I may end up with one some day to replace my BX. Hope your doing good buddy!

Change your trans/hyd fluid. I know the manual says only filters on the 50 hour service, but I had read and watched people suggest changing the fluid at the initial service.

Nice honest review GPC! Seems like that transmission whine is pretty common in the B 2650 as well. Just my opinion, but I think the aluminum transaxle contributes to the resonance of the sound initially, and the cab does definitely amplify it. My open station L2501 does it a little, but nothing like that. I only hear it under heavy load at the start typically, which is no different than most other hydrostatic equipment I’ve used. I’d be tempted to try noise canceling headphones when appropriate. You’d still be able to hear anything major that happened but that whine would be almost gone. Not for working in the woods, especially with others, but for blowing snow it would sure cut the monotony out of it. It’s a beautiful tractor and seems to be just right for your needs, as you said. I bought the 25 hp instead of the bigger ones for the same reasons as you as well as avoiding emissions. I have plenty of power for my needs and I can see you do as well. The extra weight between models makes a huge difference in real world capability.

I don’t really like the joystick response of the loader compared to the bx but maybe it will get better with time. I also find it harder to see the leading edge of the bucket. My other 👎 is the light backend, have a hard time lifting much. I should’ve had the back wheels filled with fluid, still might. I did order a heavy hitch with 8 80# suitcase weights and that seems to help. I did appreciate the video you did a while back on the subject.

One way to get rid of that transmission noise is to crank that radio up a notch or two. 😂😂 On a serious note that noise is common on many of the sub compact tractors. The Kubota's enclosed cab is so smooth (basically a glass box), coupled with no way for the sound to be absorbed it's bound to hear all that noise. I have taken larger cab tractors for a ride and they're much quieter. I use "Fluid Film" on the pedal pivot points, the ones that are not greaseable. That helps with smoother pedal operations. As always, l love your videos, love the comments from others.

To further the fogging comment a few days ago, always make sure the cab air intake is set on fresh not recirculation. Pretty much all automotive heating systems since the 80's, and maybe before, cycle the A/C compressor when in defrost to dry the air(also keeps compressor from sitting idle for the winter and seizing) and also on newer vehicles cancels the recirculation function to prevent operator from selecting it.

Hi GP Outdoors... Hobbit Habits here (aka: Rick Chapek). I changed my handle for reasons that will be more clear once I start posting videos on my own channel. I digress... I spoke with my dealer about the issues you referenced (LX2610). No startling revelations, but here's a summary: Transmission whine is something they've heard lately from a couple of cab owners. Service claims it will be more amplified when cold and T-fluid is thicker. They said the tractor ships with regular UDT transmission fluid from the factory. If Super UDT (thinner) is used on the first service it should quiet it down a bit. The "jumpiness" complaint was new to them. Since the pedal is mechanical to the transmission, they said spring mods may be possible (as other comments here suggested) but they've never had to do this. (It's still -10 degrees F here but I plan to drive the LX2610 myself next week when this weather breaks.) Travel speed issues isn't something they've come across either. One Service guy said he's heard of manufacturers limiting top speed on tractors with cabs for stability (higher center of gravity)... but never heard of Kubota doing that. Not a lot of help but that's what I heard on these issues. Have a great day!

Hi, just want to give you a heads up about the problem I just found on my LX2610 (80 hours). Just a note to LX2610 owners..when I installed my snowblower subframe I noticed under the cab floor directly under the brake pedal, 2 plastics casings (I think there is wiring in them) had been chaffed by the brake pedal mechanism rubbing them every time the brake pedal was engaged. The 2 casings are located on each side of this joint and mine are almost chaffed completely through the casings. I only have 80 hours on my tractor. A very poorly laid out route for these casings. I hope mine is the only one made like this but just in case it isn't, probably should check yours. I have a photo of it but don't know how to add it. Have a good one!

Fantastic honest review, Gord! Too often I watch these guys give their “honest review” and they can’t find a single thing they don’t like. Totally unrealistic so I can’t trust them. I have a 2019 Massey (largely to avoid the DPF on a new 50hp tractor) with a cab and it has that hydro whine, too. Tough to say whether it’s worse, or not, but it is there...especially under load. Hopefully your whine will lessen over time, but mine has been the same for the last year and a half I’ve had the tractor. I’d be interested to see if someone outside the cab (yes, I’m spoiled, too) thinks the whine is particularly loud/noticeable, but I’d have to let my wife or kids drive it around for me to compare myself...where’s the fun in that?! 😂 Keep up the great work!

Test drove a B2650 cab when they first came out and I couldn’t believe how loud the hydro wine was. Decided right then and there not to get a cabbed Bx50. Pretty sure it’s the cab enclosure making it much louder then the open station models. Buy the way, I use to spend a lot or time on TractorByNet and recall a thread where a lot of Kubota owners filled there ROPS with foam or some other sound dreading material and almost all said it cut the wine down significantly. Believe they had to take the ROPS off to do it though.

Very nice upgrade. Hope the hydro control continues to improve. With both my BX2380 and my BX2680 I switched to Amsoil hydro which significantly reduced the whine which being 100% synthetic didn’t surprise me. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
@Kangenpower7

I was wondering if the whine is somehow caused by air induced into the hydraulic fluid. Glad to hear a better quality Amsoil oil is quieter. I was thinking it might be quiet by adding a little more oil, to prevent air from being pulled into the hydraulic pump. Until they figure out the whine, I would stay away from that brand of tractor. Sorry to hear that you need ear plugs to drive it! It should not be considered "Normal".

Planning on getting a lx2610 in November of this year. Hoping to start a small lot brush clearing service with it. One note on the hydro drive system. I have a zero turn that when first purchased the whine was louder than the deck in operation. After about 50 hours and first service,(went back with amsol hydro oil) the drives are much quieter. Think they just had to wear in. I do not think there is a whole lot of difference mechanically between the systems, basically a pump and motor, just more things running on the hydraulic system on the kubota.

My Kubota L3560 Grand has a HST responsiveness adjustment control. Shame that wasn't included in the LX model allowing you to adjust the sensitivity. I have read on other forums, that once you do the hydo oil change the whine gets better. Since it isn't due for that change till 400 hours (assuming your model has the same service schedule as mine), I wouldn't want to spend the money early to see if that actually makes a difference or not.

I have a 99 powerking that has the same whine. We bought it used and its always had that whine when under load. Drives me nuts, not due to the sound, but more due to the possible wear from cavitation. Like a power steering pump telling you its low. Always runs fine, so I just hope foe the best like you!

Regarding the Hydro whine. Not sure when your tractor is due for transmission filter and fluid change. I found with both my Deere 1025R's, that after the initial filter and fluid change the whine quietened down a whole bunch. BTW, I did not wait till recommended hours to change them out, I did it early and it helped immensely. With each fluid/filter change it seems to have improved. You might try that.

As far as your description and also audible it seems the hydraulic pump is pulling air or does somehow not get a clean flow. The jumpiness, the unsteady reaction to the accelerator and the lack of speed seem to point towards air mixed in to the flow of oil. Fluids can not be compressed but air can be. So the response of the tractor to the pedal relys on the gas being compressed. Also the wine may come from vibrations in the system due to the constant change in pressure caused by the gas in the fluid. So maybe your dealer could change the oil, the oilfilter or check the lines. Oil is also hydroscopic. If it contained water, the water would boil under pressure and build gases causing your problems.

I recall reading on a forum somewhere that they were talking about that whine (apparently it's on other models like the BX, too), and one person said they found a different brand of hydraulic fluid got rid of, or at least lessened the noise. Might be worth looking into. I'm not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I want to say they used the new-holland hydraulic oil. Obviously, make sure it's acceptable viscosity and what-not, before changing it.

Good day to you GP. Another great review. The LX2610 cab have every bonus except for the noise (do you think can be possible to add some damping/absorbing material, to absorb/disperse the noise/frequencies because as it is the cab is a real sound box, who amplifies the noise but above all it keep it. Nothing is perfect, even a Kubota ;-D Lollllll ) Be well.

I just brought home the other Orange brand, and I never noticed that whine with mine. I only put an hour on it the other day with our first snow storm and maybe I was having too much fun to notice it. I'll have to take note on the next storm and see if my hydro makes a noise like that. By the way debated hard on the 25hp and 35hp and went with the 35. It's rare that people say more hp isn't needed. Hoping I didn't waste money going by listening to the old saying "you can never have too much hp"

Hi Greg, my nx4510 does not have the well known Kubota whine...not as loud for sure. Kioti also has a dial to set the responsiveness of the hst pedals which I like. Nearly 200 hrs on the tractor now, but it's open station. Terrific some days, but a cab would be appreciates in the winter. Dont worry, the day will come when you'll love the extra power. Happy tractoring.

Hi Mike. Sorry for the delay. The tractor is new for 2023. If you tune in to Neal Messick's KZitem channel ( dealer in PA), he does an update on the 2023 Kubota lineup - about 2 months ago. Anew transmission and new features for the 2610 for this model year. For me, the tranny has smoothed a bit, but I have also learned to be a little more gentle on the pedal than I needed to be on my old B2601. Check out his video when you have time. Good luck!

My experience is that small Kubotas have quite a bit of hydro whine, some are better than others, but they all seem to have more than you would like. My Massey Ferguson GC1720 has some hydro whine in low, and almost none in high gear. But I know when my neighbor is out with his BX because of the hydro whine!

Outstanding video report! I could sense the pain in your voice at the end of this video when you highlighted the two problems with the tractor. Many of us have been there over the years when we bought machines with issues. Nothing like paying good money and getting a product with problems but this is still a very good tractor. Honestly, I was going to buy this very tractor next week (Messick's Equipment) but now I am going to hold off for awhile and perhaps think about something else. Maybe I'll consider a stick shift. I already have a B3030 with a backhoe and a few green tractors and a 522xi red tractor so I am in no hurry to add another tractor. Good luck with your tractor. John C Wilkes-Barre, Pa

Have you noticed does your LX want to creep when your foot is off the hydrostat pedal? My BX is bad about that. All in all I like my tractor. Thanks for sharing have a wonderful weekend
