#48 Mowing Tips - Kubota B2601 Compact Tractor

An owner-operator safety-focused walkthrough on mowing inclines with a finish mower. Ed covers ROPS usage, keeping the loader bucket low for center of gravity, mowing perpendicular (never parallel) to slopes, backing up hills in low gear with four-wheel drive engaged, and using the three-point hitch to manage rear mower weight on crests. Practical and specific to the B2601, best suited to new owners figuring out safe hillside technique.

Ed is an owner-operator who uses a Kubota B2601 on his own 33-acre property, so expect firsthand practical experience rather than a sales or dealer perspective.
