    3rd function valve and top link

    I have a B2601 with the Kubota installed 3rd function valve. Would it be possible, and practical, to run a hydraulic top link with my third function valve? I can’t foresee a time when I would need the hydraulic top link and my grapple, just one of the other.

    Wheels for snowblower

    I finally finished the wheels for my BX5455HD snowblower on my B2601. So far, they seem to work great but I haven***8217;t really had a real snowfall to try them on. The back of the snowblower was a lot more flimsy than I expected so I had to make sure the bracket was beefed up quite a bit. I...

    Air compressor for tractor

    A friend of mine is a mechanic for Peterbuilt and tells me they have air compressors on some of the truck to run air lines. Has anyone ever seen anything like this for a compact tractor? I think it would be great to have mobile compressed air on my B2601. I have a feeling the answer is no but I...

    V bar chains on pavement

    I snowblowed about 4 inches of snow today with my B2601 on my super steep paved driveway. I have a spreader on the back with about 400 pounds of sand in it and when I was on my way back up the 200’ diveway, in 4wd, I came to a standstill. Next thing I knew, I was going backwards down the...

    ROPS Worklight question

    I bit the bullet and bought a 3 light set from Ropslights.com. A little pricey but I’m no electrician and I wanted to make it easy on myself. The lights looked real nice and I spend a few hours routing everything to make it look professional. I turned them on when it got dark and went for a...

    PTO spreader tow hitch?

    I have this Cosmo 3 p-pro-180 3 point hitch spreader on my B2601. As you can see in the picture, it has, what looks like, a place to put a pin in it near the bottom, on the frame. Does anyone know what it’s for? What exactly could I hook to it? How much weight do you think that hitch could...

    Help with spacers

    I ordered a set of 2***8221; rear wheel spacers from bro-tek for my B2601 and I want to be prepared when they show up. How do I handle the heavy liquid filled tires?

    Hold my hand? (help wiring lights B2601)

    I’m thinking about adding two or three work lights to the ROPS of my B2601. I’m not much of an electrician so I would really like someone to guide me in how to exactly do this. I’ve been searching for hours online but can’t find someone who shows me how to install these lights on a B2601. Could...

    Help log skidding

    Bro-tek gone?

    Has anyone bought anything from Bro-tek lately? They don’t answer any emails and I can’t find a phone number on their website. I would like to buy 2” spacers for the rear tires of my B2601. I like the way their stuff looks but I’m getting sick of trying to contact them. Maybe someone could give...

    Sharpen tooth bar?

    I bought a piranha tooth bar about 100 hours ago, for my B2601. It was very sharp when I bought it and has since become pretty blunted, compared to when it was new. It still works very well but I don’t think it’s as good as it was when it was new. I was thinking about taking a grinder to it to...

    B2601 soft cab

    I’m in the market for a soft cab for my B2601. I would like something that isn’t too hard to take on and off as I don’t plan on leaving it on in the summer. I’m think I’ve had enough of eating snow all winter. I am also hoping to not spend a fortune for it but I want something that is quality...

    B2601 vs stump

    I knocked this stump out of the ground today, with my Kubota B2601. This thing was pretty damn big. I almost couldn’t lift it on my carryall. I’m not sure how long that stump was there, but it must have been awhile. It didn’t take much at all with the fel of the tractor, to get it out. I would...

    New pto water pump

    I just got my new ferroni mli-25 roller pump from agri supply for about $180, shipped to my house. I have another $140 in hoses and fittings. It works great for filling a 55 gallon drum, from my pond. It takes about 2 minutes without having the tractor all the way at pto rpm. The only issue I...

    Pto water pump

    I'm looking for a small, self priming, pto water pump for my B2601. My tractor has 19hp at the pto. The longer I can go with self priming, the better. I would like to have 2, 55 gallon drums on my carryall and fill them up at my pond and use the water to water some trees and plants. I'm hoping...

    3 point hitch lever

    I have a B2601 and just can't get enough of it. I was messing around with the 3 point hitch lift lever today and noticed that it works kinda weird. The control lever goes from zero to 9 it it doesn't even start to pick up the hitch until about six. That doesn't seem to leave very much room for...

    Another carryall box

    A friend and I put this box together last night after five hours and many beers. We really took our time and tried to think of everything. I haven't seen one with a detachable lower pallet section like this. It seems like it's gonna come in handy. For now I'm just dropping a few bolts through...

    B2601 loader issue

    I was working in the woods yesterday and caught on of my loader hydraulic lines on a fence post and cut a hole in it. I noticed it quickly and didn't loose much fluid. The hose is the one on the right side of the LA434 loader, on the lift cylinder. It's the hose that attaches toward the front of...
