I just got the WoodMaxx WM-8H and an EA Wicked 55 grapple for my B2601. Both are very useful. The chipper is right at the limit of what the tractor will run but it has eaten everything I throw at it. My only issue so far is the 3-point lift height of the B2601 is a bit on the low side and I...

I decided to wait on rear remotes. When I asked my dealer he said it would not be a problem to add them later. In the meantime I am using the turnbuckles with no problem. It is still a lot less effort than shoveling and I can claim getting on and off the tractor as exercise.

I had to wait through two cycles of notification for my WoodMaxx WM-8H, but it was well worth it. The customer service people were great and the machine is well-built. Assembly was straightforward and I am slowly slogging through my accumulation of tree trimmings and saplings. Don't give up...

I ordered my EA Wicked 55 January 11 at the old price along with a Speeco quick hitch. I paid at the time of order. It shipped April 6 (12 weeks as promised) and I picked it up at the local freight terminal April 12. I have only used it a couple of time so far, but I am very happy with both...

When I bought my B2601 and several implements a couple of months ago, I signed an order sheet with everything laid out. All the pieces came together quickly except for the rotary cutter. At the sales manager's suggestion we did a new order without the cutte. No money changed hands until I was...

UpNorthMI, Thanks for the comment. I have some tight spaces that will not allow a 5' implement. I currently "brush cut" with an old Craftsman riding mower with a 42"deck that was retired from lawn cutting years ago. I will be cutting mainly blackberry bushes and pine saplings so I wanted a...

I was blessed with my B2601. I got a quote sheet on 10/31/20. The dealer was able to trade with another dealer and I took delivery on 11/24/20. The only thing on backorder is an RCR1548 cutter, which I won't need until spring. I still have to order a grapple (EA wicked 55") and a chipper...

I got my B2601 last month from my local dealer in Eastern Kentucky. Both the tractor and attachments were quoted at right about 10% off of list price. The rebate covered the taxes and part of the insurance.

My B2601 ordered last month had the 3rd function dealer installed.

I got my B2601 (no BH) last month and the only regret is that I did not get it sooner. Enjoy your Christmas present!

Congratulations on your new tractor. I am just getting used to my B2601 and I am sure you will have as much fun as I am having on the steep portion of the learning curve. My delivery time dropped considerably from the initial date when I got my tractor last month.

Thanks Armylifer; it will be a learning experience. Sad to see what has happened to Allis Chalmers and West Allis in general. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and thank you for your service.

It arrived early this morning.

Thanks for the welcome. It looks like we will be learning our new skills together. This is my first go around with a diesel powerplant on equipment I own. I have run diesel powered equipment but never had to do the p.m. on one I am thankful for good manuals.

Thanks for the advice. I checked with the dealer and he indicated no trouble in adding remotes in the future (when budget allows). I stopped in today to sign the paperwork and saw the machine. I was told they will try to schedule delivery this week. 45 min later I got a text that I will be...
