Are you working with a dealer on this endeavor? Can you demo the machines your thinking of? My cousin recently purchased 12 acres nearby, I was convinced he needed at least a B2601 like I have. I loaded my B up and brought it over for a weekend test run. Then, the next weekend I brought over...

Welcome! You're gonna love that new 2601, I sure like mine. Regarding the light power, there is a power and ground near the right taillight. It is not switched, you have to provide your own switch. I just ended up running new power directly from the battery to a new switch on the dash. Other...

I really wanted to go this way. But once you price the kits . . . well let's jut say I'm cheap. With TheOldHokies help, I now have a third function with hard lines out the loader arm, a 3-spool valve on the fender, a 2 spool valve near the stock remote location, and hard plumbed Top and Tilt...

You could roll your own as several of us have done. It's cheaper but requires a little more ground work. May not be as integrated as the factory setup. I mounted a 3 spool valve on my fender / ROPs. That would give you Top, and Tilt and a spare. I can give you specifics if you desire.

THIS!! Even the Kubota branded gray touchup used by the dealer doesn't match EXACTLY or even close.

Congratulations! The B2601 is an awesome machine. Mine has a dent in the bonnet, got it in the first week of ownership moving firewood. So depressing! All good info above. A ballast box and filled tires are a must for your new adventure.

I purchased a MechMaxx grinder a couple months ago. It looked to me to come out of the same production facility as the WM grinder. Different paint and as many have stated WM probably has better support. There isn't much to these things that would require much precision, just a 24" wheel between...

I scrounged around and found enough junk to make this. No dollars spent!!! Well, the lower pins were purchased new at some point, found them in my spare parts bin. Weighs 400# and fits close to the rear of the machine. It's enough to keep the backend from feeling light when the bucket is full of...

Wow, you have been missed here! Sending wishes for a speedy recovery.

You definitely get what you pay for with these types of accessories. Unfortunately, this is the cheap part. Paying for the additional hydraulics to power them is the $$$$ part.

You haven't met a cheapSOB until you've met me!!

I made my own. 2" x 4" generic cylinder I had laying around and some flat bar stock sized and bent to mimic the factory angles. In my next life, I'd purchase the Fit Rite Hydraulics stuff. Very nice!!

20volt DeWalt here also. Came as part of a combo kit, same battery as other tools, works good for the multiple fittings on the B2601 and loader & skid steer.

There's already a bridge over the U. It's the long straight piece with 3 holes in each end in the first photo. My guess is the bolts at the lower end of it were loose.

I dislike the fact that there are compatibility issues. I'm too cheap to go purchase new equipment just so that it would be compatible with a QH. As Jay says above, all of the issues with bushings, pins, hooks, adaptors . . . I despise the fact that most cat 1 QHs are not really cat 1. The...
