Kubota B2650 and B3350 info and hints

Bumpern,
It appears I already have the brake switch installed and wired in to the main wire harness. The switch is already installed on the B2650

Randy,

That looks good. Unfortunately, since this moves the bucket down and back slightly in relation to the dipper, the changed geometry may not mate well with either the Kubota mechanical thumb or for for those of us who have added hydraulics to that thumb. The end of the thumb would hit higher on the bucket, instead of at the bucket teeth - should still work fine for picking up rocks, but maybe not so good for plucking out sagebrush and other deep tap rooted large plants - course, one could modify the thumb to fit better?

Bumperm,
I have the hydraulic thumb mod and I am still going to try it and will let you know how it works out. A 3 minute change or a 45 minute change to put the ripper on seems like a no brainer.

So, would it fit on the back hoe of my 2008 Kubota BX25? I can't seem to find the model number for the backhoe that goes on the BX25.

If it works with the BH77 and thumb, I'll probably buy one. It is a hassle changing buckets (though making a small "chaser", a short pin size plug with taper on each end to help hold the parts together so you can get the main pin through) make it more tolerable. Before I made the chaser, I used a suitable size socket for this, but the chaser with tapers works a lot better. . . . . I'm not even sure how I'd get through life without a metal lathe and mill, and welder and plasma cutter, and countless other tools that when I'm gone my kids will hold up and say, "What the heck is this for??"
