Hello,
I just picked up a 3rd function kit today for my B2601. The kit is from my dealer, it's a Land Pride #380-354A. My research also shows that there is another kit, #380-149A. I'm not sure what the difference between the two is, I've contacted Land Pride to find out, so I will post back when I hear.
My tractor has a backhoe. My understanding is no kit that is offered accounts for the backhoe. So I think my first post is simply to understand how the 3rd function will be installed.
EDIT:
Got word back from Messick's, the difference between kits #380-149A and #380-354A is the style of couplers used out at the SSQA (i.e. what you connect to your implement). Kit 354A comes with flat face connectors. Kit 149A comes with the Pioneer style.
I also spoke with a tech at my dealer. He said that the 3rd function should be installed on the PB line in series before the backhoe. I drew this out below.
