I received my new B2620 last Thursday.Bought it to do maintenance on my property.About three years ago I bought a new L3240 with FEL and BH to do work on my property.I put about 830 hours on it but now the work is done.The only real purpose I had for it was plowing my driveway in the winter so I sold it.I also had a BX2360 that I bought new two years ago.I only used it to mow the grass so I traded it in on the B2620.I wanted one tractor to do both and decided on the 2620.It is hard to have one tractor do everything,can't be too heavy for mowing or too light for plowing.The 2620 won't mow quite as nice as the BX or plow snow like the 3240 but hopefully I will be happy with it.I used it to mow once and was pleased with it.I made a few modifications to it and plan to do more eventually.So far I have replaced the TPH turnbuckles with adjustable stabilizers.I made them for the BX and adapted them to fit the 2620.I also made a bucket level indicator that I patterned off the one on the 3240.I found the loader control valve too far forward so I bent the rod back to make it more to my liking.The foot pedal was too low for me so I raised it up about one and a half inches.One thing I didn't like about the tractor is the unpainted exhaust.I know it is trivial but to me it just looked cheap so I painted it with high heat paint. Future plans are front weights,LED lighting,tire chains,and a five foot bucket off a B3200.The bucket will only be used for snow removal so I think the 2620 will handle it.I prefer snow plowing with a FEL bucket even though it is slow as it makes less mess of my driveway.I have added a few pictures.

Very nice mods, I like your stabilizers nice and clean. The painted exhaust is a nice touch, never thought about it but it is much cleaner painted.

I am very interested in some more pics of your bucket indicator rod as well as the materials and dimensions you used if you don't mind me asking.

Congratulations! I to went up (L3240)and down(BX1500) and most of the Bs and BXs in between and have settled in with a B2620 FEL BH as my one tractor with Fs for my mowing. Nice middle sized tractor for me to maintain my property after completing most of my big projects.

I took some pictures of the level indicator.Hope they help.The rod is 3/8" stainless steel,30" long with the bend at 12".The pipe is 16" long plus the tab welded on the end.I had the pins machined longer than original to clear the hydraulic lines,they are made of 1045 steel which is a bit tougher than the original ones.

There's not one spec of dirt or wear on that tractor or driveway :irked:

Not yet anyway.The tractor only had 2.4 hours when I took the pictures.I have used it twice to mow and am getting used to it.Not quite as nimble as the BX2360 was but I am happy with it.I still have a few modifications to make to the tractor before I play with it in the dirt.And your not the first person to accuse me of keeping things clean:laughing:

Just finished digging three stumps (trying to beat the black flies before they come out) and I swear that for every stump I dig someone comes and puts another one on my property. I can walk by a location a thousand times and not see a stump...then when I think I'm thru digging in an area I trip over another one!! Guess that's why they make TLBs.

I'm having great success digging stumps with my B2920, nothing huge mind you there's no way this thing is going to dig a 30 inch diameter fir tree stump but so far up to about 12 inch stumps have not been a problem.
