What do you want to know. I rented one for a summer, used it for loading material, and on small landscape projects. Good little machine, no different really from a JD 2305 or MF GC2300, just depends on what you want to do with it.

[Macdiesiel]

No a B-26 not a B-21

I have a friend that has a B series that is about 8 or 9 years old.
They give very little troble.Not sure what you want too know?

I just bought one this year, best thing about it to me was that front loader is a fixed unit not quik attachment. Also backhoe is not three point hitch witch is very sturdy Quick attach front and rear buckets and hydraulic thumb. Industrial hydraulics give unit much more lift capacities. Dont compare this machine to a tractor.

Sprggrn,Did you get the B-26? Do you like it? I need something small to do patios and watergardens with,something small to get in tight areas

You must be thinking of the BX24, which is directly comparable to the JD2305 and MF GC2300. The B26 is a totally different machine, the replacement for the B21. It's a construction grade TLB, much, much bigger and stronger than the BX24. It weighs twice as much, probably can do three times the work, and also costs twice as much as the BX24. IMO the B26 is by far the top machine in the compact TLB field. If I had wanted to spend an extra $10K when I bought my Kioti the B26 would have been my choice.

No I'am Thinking of the B-26,not the bx24 I even like the L-39

[Macdiesiel]

I got a price $29,000 for B-26 with some options

Does this b26 have the HST?

[sprnggrn]

Yes HST I have not worked it much yet , but what i have done I am very happy with. I bought it because we do alot of renovation on existing properties, the skid steer does not do well in these conditions but this machine will get in and out with no damage . the width is only 60"

Sorry, little confusion there, didn't realize Kubota had changed the B21 to a B26, still not a lot of difference, other than the backhoe is a solid mount as opposed to a three point hitch, and the hydraulics are a bit stronger, other than that, it is an overgrown riding mower with a loader and hoe and a lot more expensive. It depends on what you are going to do with it, whether it warrants spending the extra money or just buying a compact tractor with a hoe. For the kind of money they want for one of those you can buy a KX41, and a compact tractor with a loader. Thats what I did.

That description may fit the BX24 but definitely not the B21 or the B26. BTW, the B21 never used a 3-point backhoe mount.

Your right, the B21 never used a 3 point backhoe, that's what I said.
