I've received my B2601. In NZ we don't get SSQA, and since nobody has an SSQA on a small tractor, there really aren't any SSQA implements sized for a small tractor. The reality is that the old pin on coupler looks to be the best option for me to interchange forks and bucket. To get one I have to order it from USA, it'll take a while to come, and I have to buy it indent - i.e. pay for it before it arrives. I'm reasonably keen to get the right one.

I know I've asked a similar question before, but I've done more research and have more details, and I'd like to get as close as I can.

Ultimately I'm happy if I get a quick attach that isn't exactly right, so long as the pin spacing (top to bottom) is correct, as I can cut down the width if need be.

I'm trying to do archeology. I can see a whole goods list from 2014 here. It lists a B1658 pin on quick coupler. That was on a LA504 loader, and fit a B3200. That same loader took a B1625 pin-on bucket, and that same bucket B1625 bucket fits a B2650. Therefore I believe a B1658 would fit either a B3200 or a B2650.

I see a whole goods list from 2019 here. It lists the B1625 bucket, and says it fits both the B2601 and the B2650.

So my take is that the B1658 will fit the B3200, the B2650, the B2601. I think that's what people have said before - all three tractors have the same pin spacing and the same loader arm spacing. Can anyone see a flaw in that logic?

Resurrecting this post. I've gone round the traps lots of times with Kubota NZ, and the end result today is that they won't bring it into the country for me. They haven't done certification for local conditions. Not sure why NZ rain might be different than US rain, but I'd guess that means they're worried about some sort of liability issue.

I'm looking to see if I can buy one in the US and ship, but it also looks like this isn't a common item any more - it might not be available.

I'm sure last time I looked I saw a few vendors that had similar quick attach setups for pin-on. I can't find them now. Does anyone happen to know of a company that makes a quick attach for a pin on loader, B2601?

Tractor talk with Mike comes to mind.
I found his YouTube Video if it helps.

I did find him, but all his kits look to be a conversion to SSQA. The SSQA are a bit heavier, but more importantly I only have two implements I'd use, and they're both pin-on, so I'd have to convert both to SSQA. So I was keener on the pin-on style.
