Kubota B26 TLB Review

750 hr Review of the Kubota B26 TLB. We purchased this machine in May of 2019, over all its been a great unit. With a few mishaps along the way. Front tires had to be replaced and tubed, some metal parts are lower quality. Had an issue with the cooling system around 100hrs. Fairly typical for a new machine to have a couple trips into the dealer for "new issues". At least that has been my experience with all the other construction equipment I've owned over the years.

Over all I wish I had purchased this machine in 2007. Very little has changed in with this model and class since 2004. You could say Kubota has the B26 TLB dialed in. Working with the Kubota dealerships here locally has been a great experience. Kubota insurance was easy to work with when we had an accident OnSite resulting in a claim. The warranty has been sort of a joke, but I'm seeing that more and more with most construction equipment brands.

Operating costs have been very low . Operator comfort is decent, ride can be rough, depending on tire inflation. Over all its been a good machine. Lifting capacity on the loader arms is absolution incredible!
