#111 Kubota B2601 One Year Review - Artillian Grapple - Best Small Compact Tractor - LA435 Loader

A one-year, ~50-hour owner review from someone running the B2601 on a small property for firewood work. Covers value at the ~$20K price point, pulling ability, traction (R14s, 4WD, diff lock), three-point adequacy, and, most usefully, an honest critique of the LA435 loader's jerky hydraulics and safety concerns with heavy loads. Best for buyers weighing whether this sub-compact fits light-duty rural use.

An owner-operator sharing hands-on impressions from their own small property, with no apparent dealer or brand affiliation.
