Got tired of lugging 5 gallon buckets of water to every corner of the property for the plants the wife likes to plant out of hose reach. So, I used the tractor for lugging 55 gallons at a time.

About a month ago I started on this stump at my neighbors place. It was a three headed monster. I got the third head off that day, but waited on some rain to pull the other two. The past few days we got rain, about three inches worth, so today was the day to finish off the twins that were left...

12" bucket on a B2601 can rip out stumps slightly larger than a bush, just takes a few movements around the stump. I've taken out quite a few already, this being the biggest. This one was the fifth I took out that day, all after lunch and before dinner. (Neighbor posing with the stump to show...

Spent a couple hours each day the past 5 days helping my newest neighbor. The new neighbor bought the place a couple months ago and has been steady with cleaning up what the previous owner left behind and trying to get up to code.

I've found that this B2601 can handle a lot more than I thought it would. That stump took about an hour and a half total from start to finished grading. Biggest stump so far, but there's a couple more just as big still in the ground.

I leave them in except when using the back hoe or trailering. When trailering, the swing stays in and the dipper comes out.

Rode over to the neighbor's place to continue digging out stumps (taken about 20 out so far, probably just as many to go) but got a call from the wife just as I arrived. A neighbor, who we've never met before, stopped at the house and asked for help. He said he knew I had a tractor and he was...

Moved some firewood.

10K GVW Tounge weight seemed fine. Might try it backing on the trailer just to compare next time, but the truck handled the load perfectly this way.

First time loading up. I saw after taking the pic that I have to curl the hoe bucket a bit more to get it flat. This is an 18' trailer. B2601 TLB.

Got my BoltOnHooks installed.

Dealer delivered my B2601 today after diagnosing a bad female coupler on the backhoe as the source of my hydraulic troubles. So, I got right to work tearing out stumps, moving firewood and brush. My finish mower was delivered today too, but still waiting on the box blade (the first one they...

Tractor was delivered back to me this morning. The female coupler for the backhoe was bad. It was letting the male coupler back out enough that hydraulic flow stopped, but not enough that the coupler would leak. Been digging stumps and moving firewood all day and have had no problems. I had...

Dealer came and limped it on to a trailer to take back to the shop and diagnose. This was a TLB that they obtained from another dealer in an equipment trade. I think they just pushed it through on the other dealer's word that it was good to go.

Did all that first thing this morning. Hoe moved about 8 inches, then nothing more. I called the dealer and am waiting for them to send someone out to look it over.

The FEL lock out? Thats not engaged. I can move all levers freely, but nothing is working properly. If I let the tractor sit off for a couple minutes then start it, the hoe will curl an inch or two. Just went over all couplers. Apparently the red coupler was never fully engaged and seated...

Fixed! See post #9 Brand new B2601 got dropped off an hour ago. FEL was working fine moving some firewood. Started using backhoe and lost all hydraulic pressure. Hoe won't lift, curl, move side to side, can't pick up feet and the FEL won't go up or down, even with tractor off. Can anyone help...

Got two dogs I take with me to work every day. We all work, together, every day. Amazing what they can do. But the dog that got to be home every day, Zoe the Great Dane, who layed on the couch and in front of the warm fireplace, ended up doing just as much. Surveillance video showed...

Ill be towing whatever trailer I get with a '17 F150 5.0 with trailer tow package. BIL has a 5 ton dump trailer that I've had hitched up a few times and loaded pretty much full. The F150 hasn't shown much reluctance in pulling it along wherever we needed to go. So, I see no problem with...

Roork's in Elmer, NJ. Dan Roork quoted me prices on a couple different tractor packages, and all quotes were the cheapest compared to 3 to 4 other dealers. They're expecting to get the backhoe by the second week of March, so by mid/end of March I should have some orange metal on my property.
