Me too. I need all the help I can get and don’t like to fall.

Mapleleaffarmer got the boom lock paw spring correct.

Not too familiar with that particular model. Maybe those rods go with the stabilizer feet? Feet pads are usually made to flip from smooth to cleats and use a similar rod to hold position?

Don’t think you need to pick up high and don’t think think the stabilizers are easily bent. Photo is to show the improved range and stabilizer rod guards with steps. On my hillside farm have to jack on one side up to plumb the machine. Around soft ground, ponds, creeks needed range the bigger...

Find the rubber pads provide better grip and a little more height.

My M5030DT had a nice diff lock peddle as well as various other brands of tractors. M5030 also had an automatic Detroit type locker in the front. Sure miss that feature. Newer Kubota’s have that round bar with stiff spring. One of worst things you can do is partially engage and expect long...

Wide, cheap, heavy grapple may work for you. Good price might be able to sell it after trying if doesn’t meet your expectations. I wasn’t impressed with the L3800 loader lifting I had. Any grapple is better than no grapple. Right grapple on the right machine is harmony in motion. My B26...

Some large tractors do have accumulator option on 3pt. Works only in transport or also in draft mode I don’t know. If buying a new tractor and accumulators were an option I would definitely add. Not only improves ride but also protects components from the shock wear. Found a single...

Bought a NOS kubota soft ride accumulator system off eBay. Modified to fit my M59 FEL loader using two accumulators. Greatly reduces shock loads when moving materials. Simple ball valve to turn on or off. Precharged Bosch accumulators. Two pressures. Where to tap in on your 3pt hydraulic...

Seen used 3pt trenchers for $1,800-4k. New about $10-12k. Useful but expensive attachment.

Hillside farm we use the diff locks often. Wanted to make sure my wife fully engaged in several spots of the “lawn”. Boots are often muddy when needing the diff lock. Simple rectangular tubing and split shaft collars.

Great write up! SWAG makes good stuff. Been looking for a wagon wheel roller for some time before finding their horrible freight mod. Didn’t want jail bar deck railing.

You will not be disappointed. With a Piranha bar on the M59 have to worry about digging too deep.

You’re in for a wicked good time!

Use to have a good idea about prices till two years ago. Been selling some old equipment too.

Belt grinder to sharpen then blunt edge square 1/16”. Stays sharp for most of the season.

3pt arms are an option. Come stored on the frame underneath. Takes 10-20minutes to change from BH to 3pt or reverse. The BH does need blocking under to make reconnecting to easier. Ours spends 80% of the time in 3pt mode. One of cons of the B26 is little T-Rex lift arms and turnbuckle sway...

I can afford a new but have found used a much better bargain. There has been equipment that I walked away from. Some auctions seen people bid higher than new. Trick is to know what you want and quickly buy at a fare price.

When we needed to replace the B20 tried several HD mowers and small ag tractors. Nothing worked as well and kept wife happy. Wife thinks the B26 is hers which is OK. She does most of the mowing with a 6’ finish mower.

B26 with chainsaw tree trimmer. B26 is an expensive but extremely useful first time tractor. Easy to learn to operate. More powerful FEL and backhoe than it’s AG cousins. Fits where the bigger tractors can’t. Many modifications to better serve our hillside farm.
