    Summit 3rd Function Kit Install on Kubota B2650

    The3rd function kit was actually a Christmas present from my wife. My son did a lot of research on them and found your post on this forum and decided the Summit was the one to buy. The original intent was a snow plow which is just about complete. I have a 500’ driveway and currently use a...

    Summit 3rd Function Kit Install on Kubota B2650

    I do have the backhoe also. Below is the bracket that I made which is very similar to yours. I didn’t really understand when I started exactly where the bracket needed to go. I had bought the extra fitting (3/8” NPT x 6JIC) ahead of the project but I think I would have bought a similar fitting...

    B2650 cutting edge replacement

    I should have explained the rest. Added third function hydraulics and bought and old 7.5’ Curtis snow plow and modified it to connect to the plate. I did this so I can keep the loader setup on for the winter and still be able to plow. Photo is before cleaning and painting.

    B2650 cutting edge replacement

    B2650 cutting edge replacement

    I replaced the factory weld on cutting edge with a weld on with bolt holes and mounted a bold on cutting edge. I also added two additional lifting hooks to the top of the bucket. I purchased both ACI cutting edges from Ford Distributing and the bolts from an online hardware supplier. Ford was...

    Replaced my bucket cutting edge

    Can you tell me the name of the company that you purchased the weld on cutting edge from? That seems like a very good deal! Thanks
