Hey y’all, LONG SHOT, but I’m about an hour east of Dallas and have a 60’ MMM for a 2301/2601. Wife wanted it to mow yet she hasn’t put in more than 5 hours with it, so it’s gotta go! Anyone interested let me know

the mixed grass ones were late season right at the 800lbs mark, but the rye is from May and certainly had more weather weight in them! Really pleased with how the B2301 handled them! We have a small heard of miniature Hereford we rotate and with their low consumption we’re gonna fork into a...

Yes, they are 48”x60” so they are small by round bale standards, but certainly make the tractor look SMALL! Especially here,

As promised….. I put 200 pounds of weight in the front bucket as a precautionary move and only needed to lift to 5 on the 3 point control and moved these around like nothing!

I’m going for it, gonna get a couple delivered next week and I’ll post some pictures! Worst case scenario, I text one of the neighbors with a skiddy to come help me but I don’t want it to be common practice if I can’t manage them with my equipment!

Contemplating going from 650 pound 3x3x8 rectangle bales that have spiked in price to 5x5 rounds at 1200 pounds. Just wondered if anyone had used a B2301/B2601 with a rear bale spear to move them around? No stacking or high lifting needed, just wanna be able to pack them against the barn...

Always good to hear stuff like this!!! I mostly move hay with a 3 point spear and brush cut. Of course I haven’t used the FEL a ton, so probably just noticed something that’s always been!

Thank you!!! I pulled the loader off and same, all bolts are TIGHT and same movement! Guess it is what it is!

Good info! Having the hoe would be ideal, I’ll say that! We’re just running on 10 acres here in East Texas, so I bought what worked for our current needs.When we upsize I’ll likely go with a cabbed skid for a lot of what I do. Thanks

It seems like the quick attaching aspect of the loader might just be a weak point for it! I hope I don’t end up in your shoes, then again I wish I would have went large enough for a cab….

Ill do that today! You just pull 2 small releases and when you put down pressure the loader walks itself off. No pins, it just sits in pivots. It seems like an odd design from my perspective, just can’t decide if it’s always moved and I never noticed.

it may just be a pivot, but it seems like it moves more than I’ve ever noticed. Didn’t know if after I floated it if something changed? Not real sure what’s happening in that process. Other side looks like less movement. 30 hours on it, I purchased it brand new.

Hey y’all, new here and came over from an old green machine! After using the float feature on my 2301 today for the first time I noticed what I thought to be weird movement at the loader connection points! In the pic I’m posting I’m noticing the part of the loader I’m pointing to moving back...
