    STB0560 or STB1060?

    Great info, thanks. Yeah, I have a third function (I do a lot of grapple work) and the idea of being able to change the angle from the operator seat is really what's driving this. Well, that and not having to plow in reverse.

    STB0560 or STB1060?

    Just the person I'm looking for! So my B2601 would have a little less lift capacity, same HP, and a little less low end torque. Any frustrations, regrets, etc? Or happy camper? Do you think my slightly smaller rig will be able to handle the 1060 in deep snow (12"+)? I don't run fluid in the...

    STB0560 or STB1060?

    Yes - typically heavy snow, good point on the usefulness of the extra height. I'm not sure I follow? It does have a trip spring in case you catch a curb edge. There are two bolts on the back that can switch you from a fixed "dozer blade" mode to a "trip" mode.

    STB0560 or STB1060?

    Decided I want to get a front snow blade for next winter, so I'm starting my research now. We're in northeast Ohio and the winters vary. Most of the time our storms only drop 2-6" at a time, but every now and then we'll get a freak snowstorm with 20"-24". I'm running a B2601 and both the...

    Seat customization on a B2601

    That's where the customization comes in. In theory, I can keep all the existing seat safety switches and just insert my suspension seat in between the sliding track and the seat hinge hardware... but that would raise me up 3 or 4 inches and I'm already vertically challenged. If I can solve the...

    Seat customization on a B2601

    Looking for some ideas on how to deal with the seat safety switch on a seat customization I'm doing. Long and short... I have a B2601 and a terrible back. The stock seat is lovely, but the springs mounted under it are worthless and just transfer every bump directly into my back. I found a guy...

    Weak bucket curl

    I had a ballast box on to offset the front weight when transiting but I have not loaded the wheels themselves yet. I was going to order some iron weights later this month. It was a heavier clay, so I wasn't going for broke on the scoops but I was really disappointed in that curl / break out from...

    Weak bucket curl

    You're correct that the weight is similar (the Max 22 was actually heavier because of the backhoe subframe), but I can account for the weight with my 3pt ballast. That said, the Kubota has significantly more hydraulic power (7.3 gpm vs 4.3) and a noticeable HP difference (26 vs 23)...which is...

    Weak bucket curl

    Hey all - new B2601 owner (coming from a Mahindra Max 22). I have about 6 hours in the seat so far and we finally got some time to mess around with the bucket yesterday with a load of fill dirt... but I had some challenges and I'm looking for feedback on whether this is normal for this tractor...
