Kubota has installed more comfortable and ergonomic seats on the new B26. These new deluxe seats are more cushioned to reduce fatigue, even when working long hours.




Loader

From the brace-less loader frame to the Skid Steer-type quick coupler, everything about this loader is designed to improve productivity. The B26's loader offers increased lifting capacity and a greater lifting height. It also has a host of features designed to make loader use easier, including a mechanical spill guard and a console-mounted joystick and armrest.

Let Kubota's new and improved loader lift your productivity to new heights.

Lifting Capacity and Height
The loader on the new B26 has a lift capacity of 1,100 lbs. This allows you to handle heavy loads and gives you more power on any job. The lift height of 7'10" is the best in class.

Built-in Loader Valve
Kubota has concealed the B26's loader valve and mounted it directly to the tractor. In doing so, Kubota has not only protected the valve, thus increasing its longevity, they've also improved operator visibility and cleaned up the overall design of the machine.

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

3rd Function Valve (optional)
The 3rd Function Auxiliary Hydraulic Valve allows you to do more than ever. Optional front remotes and the Skid Steer-type quick coupler enable the use of a 4-in-1 bucket, grapple bucket and various other hydraulically controlled implements. The 3rd Function Valve can be easily activated with a button located on the grip of the loader joystick.

Skid Steer-Type Quick Couplers
A high-end feature, the Skid Steer-type quick couplers allow 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. Simply set the two locking levers and attach hose couplers, and you're on your way.

Front Guard
This rugged front guard protects the B26's most vital parts in case of a collision. It also perfectly compliments the new slanted hood design.

Lubrication Points
Lubrication points on the loader are conveniently located, eliminating the need to reposition the loader during lubrication.

Enclosed 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.

Brace-less Frame
The brace-less loader frame design improves visibility and offers easier access under the hood.

Bucket-level Indicator
The Kubota B26 features a new and improved bucket-level indicator. Located on teh loader lift arm, the rod indicator of the B26 gives you the ability to check level when you're using other implements like the pallet fork, and allows you to more easily check level when using the bucket.

Console-mounted Loader Joystick and Armrest
Just like larger tractors, the loader joystick is mounted on the console at the operator's right side. Positioned next to the joystick, a sturdy armrest reduces arm movement and fatigue, providing the comfort and support you need for long workdays.




Backhoe

Kubota has improved the B26's backhoe in many ways. They've given it more power, increased its digging depth and added a host of new features. Kubota also offers several options for making the backhoe easier to use and more versatile, such as the Bucket Quick Coupler and the Hydraulic Thumb. All in all, the B26 backhoe promises more performance than you would have ever dreamed in such a compact package.

Built stronger, longer and more versatile than ever, to take on backhoe jobs big and small.

Curved Backhoe Boom
The curved boom of the B26's backhoe helps you to avoid dig area obstacles, such as large rocks, and to achieve maximum digging depth with a minimum trench cut. It also allows you to more easily place the bucket contents in the center of a truck bed, as the curvature helps you to clear the truck's sideboards.

Protected Hydraulic Hoses
To better protect and increase the life of the hydraulic hoses, Kubota has routed them through the boom and arm. This routing also helps to offer greater visibility and deliver an overall cleaner backhoe design.

Hydraulic Cylinder
High quality chrome plating of the backhoe's hydraulic cylinders means that they are less prone to rust, offer increased durability, and better sealing performance.

20.3^o 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.

Reversible Seat
Simply lift a lever and rotate the B26's deluxe seat from forward facing to rear facing and back again. It makes switching to backhoe operation a snap.

Stabilizer Lifting Capacity
Kubota has increased the stabilizer lift capacity to give you greater control on any terrain. The improved capacity results in better balance, which reduces unwanted settling. It also means more strength -- rear tire lift is possible even while the tractor is idling.

Digging Capacity
Here's everything you could want in a backhoe -- more power and the ability to dig deeper. The B26 offers more than 4,000 lbs of bucket breakout force and a digging depth of 8'4". And best of all, you get all this in a surprisingly compact tractor.

Precise Inching Performance
Experience smooth and precise movement of the arm and boom thanks to Kubota's high performance inching valve. This comes in handy when simultaneous arm and boom movements are required or when using the backhoe to "finish" jobs.

Standard Thumb Bracket
An optional Hydraulic Thumb makes quick work of debris and material handling tasks on the job site. A factory-mounted thumb bracket means that installing this handy attachment is a snap.

Quick Mount Attach/Detach
Kubota's four-point attach/detach allows operators to quickly remove the backhoe from the integrated frame and install the Category I 3-point hitch for implement use.

Hydraulic Valves for Rear Attachments (Optional)
The optional 3-spool valve kit is essential for getting the most out of your backhoe attachments. Use them to operate the Hydraulic Thumb, auger and more.

Bucket Quick Coupler (Optional)
The bucket quick coupler provides a quick and easy way to change backhoe attachments. Combined with the optional hydraulics kit, the B26 provides the flexibility to perform most of the tasks operators expect from larger machines.
