Low effort is needed for the single HST pedal to control both speed and direction changes quickly and without shifting or clutching. Forward and reverse are simple when using the loader, enhancing control when working in tight spaces.

Kubota
   

540 RPM PTO

The independent PTO keeps stopping to a minimum. With this handy feature, you can stay productive by engaging and disengaging the rear PTO without ever having to stop the tractor.

Kubota
   

Category I 3-Point Hitch

To give you the ability you need to take on bigger jobs, the lifting capacity of the B26’s Category I 3-point hitch is 1,675 lbs 24” behind the lift points. This will allow you to attach a wider variety of implements and larger implements, making you more productive
Kubota
   

Precise Inching Performance

Experience smooth and precise movement of the arm and boom thanks to our high performance inching valve. This comes in handy when simultaneous arm and boom
movements are required or when using the backhoe to “finish” jobs.
Kubota
   

Protected Hoses

To better protect and increase the life of the hydraulic hoses, we’ve routed them through the boom and arm. This routing also helps to offer greater visibility and deliver an overall cleaner backhoe design.

Kubota
   

Quick Attach Backhoe

Attaching and detaching the backhoe has never been easier than with this quick mount
system. In minutes the Cat I three point linkage is installed and you're ready to use the hydraulic, independent PTO.

Mechanical Spill Guard

The B26’s Mechanical Spill Guard tilts the bucket forward as the loader is raised, thus, reducing the spillage of the bucket’s contents. This makes filling and dumping easier and increases efficiency.

Kubota
   

Protected Hoses

The loader’s hydraulic hoses are routed through the B26’s boom. This not only protects them and adds to their longevity, it also gives operators a cleaner and clearer line of sight in front of the tractor.

Kubota
   

Skid Steer Style Quick Coupler

The skid steer style quick coupler allows you to easily change between implements like a pallet fork, bale spear, 4-in-1 bucket, grapple bucket, blade or post-hole digger, without tools.

Kubota
   

Slanted Hood and Loader Frame

The slanted boom and hood of the B26 improves visibility over the hood. This helps
you change attachments and get back to work quickly, and allows increased productivity in tight areas.

Kubota
   

20.3° Angle of Departure

High ground clearance provides a generous 20.3 degree angle of departure. This allows the B26 to load quickly onto trailers, easily ascend inclines and prevent damage to curbs while you move from job to job.
