The B26 should be hitting the shelves, any sightings?

The only thing that bothered me was the spinning seat. You still had to get of the tractor to use the BH. I understand this has to do with its size and the location of the seat is great for running the hoe. Just was kinda awkward. I think you would get used to it though. With them little time I had I was impressed.

I felt the exact same thing, however after the first time in the seat and doing it just once (Getting off and rotating seat) I never gave it a thought from that time. It just came naturally. The seat is extremely comfortable at least to myself and my son. We both commented on how one could sit on it for extended periods of time and not really get uncomfortable of fatigued. Just my 7 ¢ worth.

I know the safety police will call me on this, but can you sit in the seat in the backhoe position and reach the hydro pedal using a stick or other device with longitudinal propertiesl? You know, creep to position type setup like the JD 110 only in a simplified version.

Very nice, Gotcha. Keep the pics coming - love the action shots.

I'm thinking the B26 is gonna be my next machine - just has a few more features & better capacities that I'm looking for compared to a B3030 with hoe. Looking forward to being able to check one out on a dealer's lot - haven't seen any out here yet, and I've got some time before I'm ready for it.

No as there is a safety switch so one can not do that, but you can put it in N and push/ pull your tractor with the boom/dipper to a new set up if that is what your asking??? Now if you really want the safety police after your Ar's the switch is in the wide open and very easy to say hold it closed. I really didn't say that did I???
