New B2620 what do I need?

[ericher69]

For 800' of paved driveway a front plow would be a great option.

The 20 series will probably take the same or close subframe as the older 10

series. Once you plow forward you will never look back :laughing:!

A rubber edge will protect your pavement. The loader works ok but limited.

This is a great group with lifetimes of experience.

Cheers,

RD

Edbuck nice tractor.I have the same thing but mine has the backhoe. You should think about getting a wear bar and a tooth bar for our bucket. I have both a wear bar and a tooth bar for mine. I got mine from W.R.Long. Here is the link for them.W.R.Long the 4N1 Bucket People but you can only order from a dealer not direct from them.here is some pic of my B2620 TLB.

What size tooth bar did you get? Is it the 48" bar from wrlonginc? Is the wear bar a separate item or is the tooth and wear bar all one piece?

Also, where did you get the bucket hooks on top of your bucket? Did you install those yourself? They look great!

Orange man you have to measure the inside length of your bucket os W.R.Long can make it fit your bucket. The wear bar and tooth bar two different attachments. The bucket hook I got them from northern tools. Yes I did install them my self. here is a better pic of my bucket hooks. cal2620

Thanks for the pic of the bucket hooks, they look beefy! Do you mind explaining how you did the install and what materials you used? I'm assuming that you welded them and bolted them?

Orange man the materials I used are three 6"wide by 12" long 1/4" thick steel plates. One 2"wide by 36"long 1/4"steel plate. Six 5/8" 10"long grade 8 bolts. Three 5/8" 6" grade 8 bolts. Nine lock nuts. Three tow hooks. Three rectangle steel boxes I had around the house. First I cut all of my steel plates to length. Next I marked and drilled all of the 5/8" hole in all of steel plate, rectangle boxes and on the back of the bucket. Then I bolted the six 2"by 6"steel plates,three rectangle boxes and the three 6" by 9" steel plates to the bucket. The 2" by 6" steel plate and the rectangle boxes are on the back of the bucket and the 6" by 9" steel plate are on the inside of the bucket. Finale I welded the 2" by 6" steel plate to the rectangle boxes and the 6"by 9" steel plate to the inside of the bucket. Bolted on the three tow hooks. Primed and painted with new kubota orange.project finished.cal2620

Thanks Cal, this is exactly what I was looking for!

What are the rectangular boxes from? Are they 1/4" thick steel? Sounds like the rectangular boxes provide the foundational strength for the hooks, so those are probably the strongest aspect of the mounting system?

Orange man the boxes are from my dads work I don't know what they are from. The boxes are not 1/4 I think they are 3/16.the boxes are a good foundation and it got the hooks up over the lip of the back of the bucket. If the lip on the bucket was not so high I would have not use the rectangle boxes and use just the 6"by 9" steel plates on the inside of the bucket.
