    Purchasing A new Bucket

    Finished install, had to machine a groove in the original pins for a c-clip so they could be reused. Did not buy new pins designed for new SSQA plate. Clips keep pin from sliding out.

    Purchasing A new Bucket

    All went well and as planned as far as install. Shipping charges, not very happy with but not worth arguing about with dealer. It appears there was a third item attached to my pallet that was removed, not sure if I paid for its shipping also.

    Purchasing A new Bucket

    This should be a simple job. Remove old pin on bucket, install new SSQA plate assembly to the loader arms and then the new SSQA bucket attaches. I will then put my old pin-bucket up for sale.

    Purchasing A new Bucket

    Wow, and I was only dealing with an Extra $95. In your case the parts were ordered prior to the corporate change and the original invoice should have been honored.

    Purchasing A new Bucket

    I have ordered a new SSQA (B1673) and a new Bucket ( B2371) from my local dealer at a cost of $1200 I paid for the parts. They then stated they would not know shipping cost until received, he estimated around $100 the parts arrived and now says shipping cost is $195. These parts were ordered...

    B2601 / FL1000 Tiller?

    That's what I was hoping, not planning on abusing it anyways, but would hate to break it.

    B2601 / FL1000 Tiller?

    Have the opportunity to get a Fl1000 tiller but noticed it is rated up to 14 PTO HP. The B2601 has 19.5 PTO HP should this be a major deal breaker? Any other issues with this tiller I should be aware of?

    Land Pride grooming mower drive belt flipping over

    Once a belt flips, it will continue to flip, it will need to be replaced. There are cords inside the belt that get stretched and this causes the continuous flipping.

    New B2601

    I bought the Piranha bar for my B2601 bucket, well worth the money and easily removed when it may not be needed. Mine has not been removed since installed.

    Towing B2601 with 14 ft trailer - SA or TA

    Out of curiosity what trailer did you go with and what tow rig are you using? I have the B2601 TLB and have a 2014 Tacoma Sport with tow package, still have no trailer.

    Kubota Says No Wheel Ballast With a Backhoe.

    I purchased my B2601 used with the BH, it came from dealer with the rear tires filled. I watched the Messick's video and from what I understood it is ride quality that he stated was the benefit of no fluid in the tires. If the tires are filled correctly there is still a air cushion in the tires...

    Transfer Switch for Generator Power in Outages

    I have a smaller version of the Reliance transfer switch, it works very well, not difficult to install (with some electrical knowledge), do not need to have power disconnected (pull meter) by the electric company. You do have to match the proper switch for the generator output and what you are...

    Picture of your tractor on your trailer

    How well does the Tacoma tow that setup? I have the same truck and a B2601 with loader and BH, have not tried towing yet.

    Change fuel filters

    I am not sure how the L3901 filter is set up, I believe that once you open the bleed valve all the air will be pushed out and when you get a full stream you should be good to go. Start engine and let it idle a few minutes to be sure it is running smoothly. I rebuilt Caterpillar fuel injection...

    Change fuel filters

    It is best not to pre-fill filters, as the fuel (and any contaminates) that you pour into the filter does not pass through the filter before going to the pump, this will cause premature wear to the injection pump if done on a regular basis.
