Howdy, I'm curious of this parts list, if you're willing to share? I just purchased a B2601 with a loader and belly mower. Also bought a few things such as box blade, landscape rake, tiller, forks. Trying a soil pulverizer also. Dreaming of a seeder or drill, either a turf seeder with native box or the Woods PSS48 with native box, if my rig can handle it. Anyway I am looking for top link at a minimum, might as well do another remote and probably side link.
I am using this set up commercially for landscaping and particularly finish grading and seedbed prep.
Kubota said $1375 for their 2 spool kit with the 2nd one having a float. Not including labor (would look to install myself). I'm with you all that this is a nice clean option.
Land Pride just top cylinder, $790, top and tilt, $970. To do their spools rather than Kubota, top and tilt 2 spool is $1990, 3 spool $2125, and it mounts on the ROPS. Not sure if those have float? I forgot to ask but I think the answer would be no.
I see Summit has electric all on or all off (non-modulated) kits which doesn't seem like a good plan if you're using it a lot and looking to feather things, at least not for anything but a 3rd function.
FitRite shows 6 mo out. I'd miss the whole season so that option is out for me.
Tractor Innovations has the loader function splitter referenced above which could work but is plenty of $$$ for still having to switch the diverter valve. I see myself getting confused a lot.
Tractor Innovations also has a remote setup off the power beyond but I talked to him and he said he doesn't have the power beyond figured out for the B2601 yet.
I think I figured out how to pull power beyond from MJA Doing Stuff, who has a video installing the summit kit where he shows the line from power beyond to tank and uses that line to bring pressure to the summit kit at 14:23:
So I'm considering putting together my own set up, though I'm not super mechanically inclined (I have replaced head gaskets on my duramax though so I'm not totally clueless, just generally not confident when approaching something new). I could also get the Tractor Innovations kit for power beyond and follow MJA for the power beyond, getting hoses for the in between on my own.
I think I can pull from the power beyond as in the MJA video, then go to a manual 2 or 3 spool with float, then drop it to the tank. It almost seems too simple, and I'm sure there will be some snags. I just want to make sure if I go this route I'm not deadheading my pump or anything.
Any thoughts or direction would be appreciated. Thanks a bunch for your help!
