Delivery Day for the B2601.......

[River19]

Big day finally arrived.

When I got the call the tractor was ready I caught on to the fact they kept saying "Box Blade" and I had ordered the RB1560.......rear blade....well honest mistake they had prepped a BB1260......which I probably would have gotten in the Spring anyways. So.....just keep that on the truck and add the RB.

So 48" commercial blower, FEL, Box blade and Rear Blade.........

Did some quick basic loader work in the rain today then mounted the BB1260 for the first time dealing with a 3PT......I won......leveled it off in the garage out of the rain. Quick hitch comes tomorrow.

Let the journey begin......

Good looking ride... Enjoy!

You will love it.

Thats a sweet ride, they fixed pretty much all the things I wish my B2620 had.

See you also go the third function, you'll be impressed with a grapple on it.

Thanks. I think they did a nice job on the finer details on the tractor at this point.

I don't have a current use for the 3rd function, but all the advice was to get it installed with the tractor initially in case we have a use for it later so I figured I would go for it.

Grapple might come in handy some day but first I need to figure out a second shed solution for the implements/tractor as my wife would like her SUV back in the garage for winter lol

What quick hitch did you order?

What quick hitch did you order?

I went cheap and got a deal on the Northern Tool one which is pretty much the same as the Harbor Freight one.

As I knew going into it I had to take a grinder to the top hook to open it up enough to play nice with my LP implements but that took a whopping 7, maybe 8 mins including finding an extension cord.

It works.....I'm not sure you could convince me the QH15 is $300 better.....

I bought a 2601 this spring and I love it. I can get so much more done. Loading tires into the truck. Carrying batteries around. Firewood (6-8 cords a year.) And so much more. Love it!

Here's a picture of my new B2601, loaded on the rear of the dealer's trailer. Coming here tomorrow.

They have my grapple and bucket at the front of the loader; the snow blade is on the truck. On the tractor, I opted for wheel spacers, filled rears, and front third function.

I'm jealous

 

[DaveinValdez]

So far mine has been great. One thing, I don't know if the dealer was rushed or Corvid and lack of staff.... But take the manual and check every fluid level that the machine has. My hyd. was low as well as one axel. Congratulations!

 

[Milo]

Congratulations, looks like you'll be the first stop.

Big tractor, small tractor, new tractor or old tractor. Tractor delivery is always a good day! Congratulations on your purchase.

I’m amazed at the quantity of tractors on the lot in that picture. Dealers in the Midwest are empty. And I mean empty. Zero. Zip. Nada. Size does not matter. That’s used or new.

^^^^
That's what I'm hearing...

I was pleasantly surprised that on my recent visit, my local dealer (Olympia WA), had quite a variety of tractors available and in stock.

Don't know what your uses are, but for me my hydraulic angle rear blade sits and collects dust because I use the box blade for everything. So you won't regret getting it.

The B series is a great tractor, you will love it.

 

[Forest_Man]

well honest mistake they had prepped a BB1260......

I would like to hear your experience with the BB1260: is it a good fit for your tractor? Any feedback on whether you would buy the same or a heavier series?

I am in need of a box blade for light residential work and not sure if this box blade is too light or just right size.

Thanks for any feedback!
