I was quoted by Rocky Mount Tractor 6 months ago, B2601 $14,495, Loader $4,250, Backhoe $8,195, -$700 implement disc., -$800 cash sale, total $25,440 +tax I ended up finding same Tractor used with 61 hrs. 30 minutes from my home with extended warranty for $22,500.

Do not know of any that install in that way for the B2601, now there may be some for other models of the Kubota. The existing studs on the B2601 are not long enough to take more then a 1/4 maybe 1/2 inch spacer.

The thumb you need depends on the number of teeth on your existing bucket, it is a little confusing but if you go to BXPanded's web page it explains it. I have the 16 inch bucket with 4 teeth on the bucket and only the short thumb would work. If I remember correctly the long and short thumb...

Do you have the part number of the bulb you ordered?

I am 5 minutes away from mine, I am fortunate to have a great neighbor that has a 65 acre farm across from me that has a box blade, scraper blade, bush/brush hog, roller, sprayer, plus some others that are mine to use when needed. He does not live on the farm he lives up near Richmond and comes...

Oh boy new toys. How far are you from dealer?

I agree, have seen some different styles people have made on the web, some simple some complicated. Just need to decide what would work better for me.

Looks great, I have done some of the same mods, grill guard screen, Rops LED lights. I have also built a guard for the HST filter (left side of tractor), installed fire extinguisher on Rops, rear view mirrors, Tool storage on Rops, chain storage tubes in the rear loader tubes and intalled a...

If I had ordered my tractor I would also chosen the 12, but I can not complain since I saved about 7-$8,000 on buying the used tractor.

My tractor came with the 16 inch bucket the original owner used it a lot for digging footers for his small house / cabin. It seems to cut easily into our clay dirt so far not sure how well it will do in dry hard clay will find out if we ever stop getting rain.

I ordered the short thumb as I have the 16 inch bucket with 4 teeth, as far as the Piranha tooth bar I understand the part of you could overstress the loader if used for digging. I mainly want it for its ability to cut into a pile of dirt or crush &run gravel easier then the factory straight...

Just ordered a BXexpanded Piranha bar and a Barracuda thumb, now the wait and anticipation begins.

Yes that is the one I have seen also, BXexpanded makes them and they look real good they also make the Piranha bar for our buckets. Only negative I have heard is the wait time to get products from them is like 6 to 8 weeks but they take your funds instantly.

Who would have thought our tractors came from same dealer, I have never been there but the original owner of mine said Jim was the man I needed to talk to about getting my Warranty swapped over to my name. My B2601 had 61 hrs (2019), BH and FEL only. Did you find out any info on the thumb? I...

Is your dealer Collie Equip.? If it is it's a small world because that was where my tractor was purchased. I bought it second hand.

I used the double nut procedure, you put one lug-nut on with taper facing in and then install the second nut with cone facing out and then tighten them against each other as tight as you can, then put a wrench on the inner nut and twist the stud out. I had some that were were real tight backing...

I will try, the factory studs are threaded into the axle housing and the wheel then is installed onto the axle and is hub centric on the axle, the new spacer requires removal of studs as I mentioned. The spacer is then installed (not hub centric) using provided tapered bolts that center the...

Did you ever figure out your backhoe thumb dilemma? I am leaning towards the BXpanded Barracuda , I have tried contacting Bro-tec about a thumb for the B2601 but it appears they only offer bolt on style for different machines. Have not heard of any other manufacturers.

I am only running the rear spacers, have heard about steering issues from others running front spacers.

The Bro-Tec spacers are hub centric to the wheel and the bolts that mount the spacer to the axle hub have a oversized or large cone /shoulder that centers the spacer. I understand your concern, but I also have never heard or read of any failures.
