    Just signed off on a B2601

    Sweet enjoy. I have same set up but no MMM. I also have the thumb for BH and I use it all the time. I am about to log my 100th hour on my B2601 and just got it a month or so ago! I have really been working her. I have been amazed at some of the stumps I have pulled and the terrain I have...

    My new b2601

    Ok thanks for the feedback. Good to know mine is not messed up. I didn't think it was a big deal. I am noticing a pretty good whine from HST when under load like going up hill and scraping with loader. I guess thats pretty common, but would love to hear what yours is like when you get a...

    Red oxide or Gray primer?

    I used to to body work way way back when I was just a wee one, so take what I am saying with a chunk of salt......but.... I remember using a self etching epoxy primer that had to mixed with a catalyst and that stuff was the bom! Smells like bubbe gum and was a greenish gray color. I also...

    Am I being too nit picky

    Forgot to mention..... I still have the 3pt hitch resolution issue to resolve (does not appear to be an assembly issue). Not a huge deal, its still works fine but does not start to raise until position 4. And I am seeing that my FEL bucket is a bit crooked. I need to look closer at that...

    Am I being too nit picky

    Obviously go through as much as possible with the delivery guy, but it is inevitable you will probably miss something and find when you have the time to just mull over the manuals and the machine after they leave without any pressure on you. Go over the Start Checks as outlined in manual...

    Am I being too nit picky

    Hey Joe! (sounds like a hendrix song) :D Its pretty much par for the course I would imagine. Some get lucky with a real impeccable assembly, but my faith in most people, dealers, etc…is just toast! I got my new B2601 the other day. All went well during initial delivery inspection/training...

    Please Help! Its raining on my new baby!

    Hi all, So I am one of those unfortunate souls that do not have a garage for my new B2601. Yeah I know they are meant to stay out in the elements and all that but I try to take good care of my stuff. I am looking for a nice tarp to cover it with for a while until I can figure something else...

    How many B2601s are out there?

    Howdy fellow b2601 owners! I just got mine the other day, with FEL and BH, ballast in rear tires and the 3rd function remote. Got all the bugs and kinks worked out rather quickly. Mostly just due to sloppy assembly. Stuff conflicting with levers, etc. I could elaborate if anyone is...

    Pine Bush Power Equipment ?

    Ok so got all the issues worked out except for one. This last one turns out not to be an assembly issue but a possible factory issue. Dave is looking into it as well as I, using the forum. So the service so far has been excellent. I would not hesitate to recommend buying from PBE, just do...

    O ring on pistons falling off, orange paint?

    Howdy fallers, So I noticed today after taking possession of my new b2601 that there was an o ring from one of the pistons (where the rod enters/exits the piston) that broke off and was lying on the machine and another one on different piston that slid up the piston a few inches. At first I...

    Pine Bush Power Equipment ?

    So it looks like this thread is pretty much dead and Guy never came back with update and was just doing a drive by. Anyways, I wanted to stop back with a quick update, in case anyone else stumbles across this and is looking to do biz with PBE. I did finally purchase from PBE. I ended up with...

    3pt position control adjustment B2601

    Howdy all, So it seems that while playing with my position control on my new B2601, that the 3pt does not seem to raise at all until the lever is at about position 5, and then goes up from there. I followed the linkage and it does not appear to be any obvious adjustments. So this problem...

    A work in progress (5' Boom Pole)

    ah! 3 pt adapter for the SSQA……..very nice idea. Just learned about a new piece of hardware! gonna go broke surfing this site! I can certainly see how that would increase your reach. Also good point about getting into a tighter spot. I also see a benefit over the backhoe as its not...

    A work in progress (5' Boom Pole)

    Can anyone please explain any uses of this implement that would be preferable over a FEL or BH? This post just schooled me on the existence of said implement, now i am just trying to understand it. I can certainly see its usefulness for lifting stuff, but does it really only make sense to own...

    Homemade Steam Roller!!!!

    Thanks so far for the replies. Upon further investigation, it seems like not such a new idea. Plenty of example of homemade lawn rollers on google. I think I will do it. Looks simple enough. I doubt I fill it completely full of water, I couldn't imagine! I will start dry and go from there...

    Homemade Steam Roller!!!!

    Howdy fallers, Well not really a steam roller….but…I was out by the shed thinkin' and stuff. I have a gravel (We call it Item4 around these parts) driveway. It likes compaction, and then a little rain and its nice and hard. Just getting my first big boy Tractor and been doing lots of...
