    LA435 SSQA Plates to Back of Bucket - small gap OK or no gap allowed?

    Exactly as Wolfman said above, and mine is the same. No issues after 3 years of ownership. Congrats on the new tractor!

    Will an L3560 w/ BH77 fit in my garage without drama?

    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...

    New to orange

    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...

    Help needed on a decision about rear hydraulics

    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...

    Help needed on a decision about rear hydraulics

    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.

    New B2601 owner with a question

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

    Thank you everyone!… From a new tractor owner. (B2601)

    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.

    Has anybody used one of these stump grinders?

    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...

    Low cost rear ballast options

    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...

    Tilt hydraulic side link B2601

    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.

    Tilt hydraulic side link B2601

    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!!

    New grease gun recommendations please.

    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.

    Bh77 on b3200 subframe broke

    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.

    Quick Hitch? 👍 or 👎

    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...

    Anyone see this casting break?

    This is indeed the 3 point lift cylinder casting, $1072 at Messicks in the US. There is a system relief valve built into the loader valve that's set at 1890-2000psi. Shouldn't this protect the casting? Now, if the drop speed valve was closed completely and one introduced a bounce into a 3 point...

    B2601 and Pat's Quick Hitch

    The lift point is the implement end ball of the arms. Another option to ease implement hookup and eliminate your concerns about lift capacity would be a hydraulic top and tilt kit. I recently completed my home brewed top and tilt kit and cannot believe how much easier it is to make implement...

    Rear Remotes for LX2610 with Backhoe & 3rd function already installed

    I have a B2601 and was going down a similar road a while ago. I was headed towards your option 1 because it was more integrated. After research, the $$ amount and complaints about Kubota's stack valves leaking made me go option 3. I was leaning towards using the aux. power ports when Dan...
