QA and 60 inch bucket for b2620

[bstrom]

The 60 inch light materials bucket and QA is working out well for my b2620. Gives you more room for the light stuff. Hope it works good with snow. Now whee do I put my other bucket for the winter?

Nice outfit! Big buckets make snow work easy!

That'll save you a few trips. Good work!

Here's a detail of the quick attach for any newbies like me that are interested.

I'm waiting patiently until I get another job, then the QA and forks will be mine. Great pics btw

Thanks, yeah the forks are next for me too. I got the larger bucket mostly for snow this winter. Got a crazy driveway that needs to have snow piled up. I want the forks for rock and log work. My dealer said I could finance the QA, large bucket and forks at 0% but I decided no more payments for me, You never know what is going to happen with your job these days and I'm self-employed.

One little thing I found using my loader with the QA just recently. Since the old pivot points are back a few inches, you have to be careful when you are back dragging, or using the bucket float to spread material. The ends of the loader arms, and the old pivot points can get in the dirt pretty easily. I sure do love mine though! I'm anxious to get some more fall chores done so I can do some more work with the forks.

Yeah, I noticed that too. Think it does that on the B3200 loader (LA504?) as well? Guess it would since it's basically the same setup. Guess you just have to hose them off and keep them greased.

Now do you actually have screws instead of the clips on your QA pins Chuck? I'd like to take credit for it but mine actually came with the clips, I'm not that bright. Not sure if that is what you meant in a previous post somewhere.

There were small bolts in the original pins that came with the OEM loader. They are reused to secure the QA to my loader arms, but the pins that retain the bucket have the clips like yours.

For those of you that have wondered about the effect of the QA on lift capacity, here is an idea of what it still can lift. Consider that this rock would't fit in the bucket, and if you chained it to the bucket it would be further still from the pivot point. By the way digging this rock out took three easy "stabs". One to define where the edge was, two to get under it a bit, and roll it up at an angle, and a third move to get completely under the rock, curl back, lift, and drive away with a minimum hole size to repair. In case you all can't tell, I do like this setup. A couple of minutes to put the bucket back on, fill the hole, and I was done... Don't have to mow around that iceberg any more.

This is the maximum this loader will lift. I couldn't lift it higher, and I sure wouldn't want to. My rear tires are loaded, and with the BB on back it still felt light on the back. Low range, creeping in 4wd all the way.
