The B2650 count down has begun!

Rkidd,
It痴 very similar to the prince valve you used, except 3 spools and no float. I couldn稚 really think where I would need the float. If I find myself needing float I can add it whenever. I am not sure exactly on mounting locations yet. If I can get it in down next to the transmission I will probably have to remove the steel tube that comes factory with the 3rd function kit. I planned on having the valve in my hands a week ago to start getting a game plan together. Seller said if it doesn稚 show up tomorrow they will send a replacement out. USPS clearly lost it.

Yes I知 gathering implements. I had quite the selection for my bx but sold them all as they will be to small.
Currently have a front plow, rear blower. And a new land pride box blade.

I plan on buying a tiller, a rear blade,pallet forks,, and a grapple grapple soon.

My dealer said he would make me a **** of a deal on a 84 landpride rear blade(not sure why he wants to get rid of it so bad)
It will be to big for my tractor. But if it is that sweet of a deal I will get it and cut 6 off each side to make it the correct 72 I need

Alot of snow removal equipment. Do you guys get that much snow where you are at? Love my 66" Land Pride tiller and my 48" pallet forks, and was at my Kubota dealers today, looking for the next thing which is a grapple now that I have front hydraulics. When you get your spool valves and if you have any questions, let me know as I have spent alot of hours getting everything fit in. It really fills the space up in a hurry!!

That’s the funny thing, we don’t get much snow. Not like we used to at least. I got a pickup truck plow for 50$ converter it to skid steer quick attach with a 40$ adapter plate. Bought a hydraulic cylinder to angle the blade for 50$. So I have about $140 in a heavy duty front blade. The rear blower was just a local craigslist deal i thought was to good to pass up. It will probably never really get used. But I like painting projects. If I don’t get much use out of it I will sell it.

I have a line up on a 60” tiller. A 66” would be better(size of my box blade). But the land pride units are expensive. I don’t even have my own garden. But my parents do and I do a few more. I got a good deal on the one I had on my bx. Paid for itself the first spring.

I would like to get another one and keep doing some Gardens. But if it takes 3 years to just pay for the tiller it doesn’t really make sense financially. If I had my own garden to do it would make the decision easier.

Larry,
Have you used any 3ph implements yet?

 

[Rock Crawler]

Not really, I put the 72" back blade on it 2 different times to plow snow... But that doesn't count as real work in my opinion. I'm a couple months from dry enough ground to get into my property to start really doing dirt work with the blades.

I just want to let you know to be careful with non standard implements. My snow blower was fine when the standard tires were on my tractor. But now that I have the oversie tires the nuts/bolts that hold the stabiles bars are almost touching the tread of be tire. This is because the snow blower is old and the mounting pins are wider than standard(quick hitch won’t work). I am going to move the pins to the inside instead of outside. Shouldn’t be a issue with new implements. But just wanted to make you aware if you need to spread the arms wide they will in fact contact the tire lugs.

I have an ancient back blade of unknown vintage and origin, but as long as the sway bars are nice and snug it's got a couple inches in each side.

 

[Dan33Klein]

Good deal. I wor working with 1/4”. It would rub each tires if it barely swayed. I had the bars as tight as I could.

 

[Rock Crawler]

Yes, if I was 1/4" I'd be moving those pins or rewelding the pin plates.

 

[Dan33Klein]

I might modify it to work with the quick hitch. But it won’t be easy. So I might just turn the pins around and call it good. It will go on when we get a big snow and probably stay on till spring. Not like I am taking it on and off all the time to worry about utilizing the quick hitch.

Valve finally showed up after being lost in the mail. Got all the fittings after work today. Just need to fab up the mounting bracket and make the hoses.
Then comes making the handles. Probably won稚 get to it till early next week though.
