I've got a 2620 with loader, and was installing the front quick hitch (2733) to use with the snowblower and broom. The quick hitch is the same unit that is listed for the B2410, so it's been around awhile.
Well, the hitch fits the tractor, but not the loader frame. There's 2 side mounting plates that need to be slightly altered by drilling a hole in them. That's not as bad as the other problem, though. The rear of the unit has a weldment that is made to fit on the outside of the subframe. For the hitch to fit correctly, it must tuck-up tight to the tractor underside. The loader frame cross member is slotted to allow the necessary clearance. The problem is that the relief slots are positioned as if the above-mentioned rear weldment piece was made to fit on the inside of the subframe.
My dealer knows nothing about this, as I am the first person they sold a new B to with the quick-hitch and loader. They were going to call Kubota, but haven't gotten back to me yet (it's been almost a week).
I'm quite capable of making this fit, but if I start cutting and welding on it, I blow my warranty.
I'm curious....did I just get an "old stock" quick hitch?? Were there some recent changes made so it will fit on a new B with loader??
