    Quick hitch brand

    Sorry to hear about the list of disappointments....I would not be satisfied with that level of service. I totally understand you not wanting to be a 'nuisance customer' but your not getting what you ordered. Did you ask why the switch on the QH? Did you check the price of the Bobcat QH...

    LP SGC0548 48" Grapple compatible with new B2601?

    I wondered the same thing myself about not being listed as compatible/recc'd for B2601. I wondered about the small differences between it & the 60" version. At this point it's working flawlessly and I'm grateful for the slightly smaller footprint. I've done some back raking (it's in the...

    LP SGC0548 48" Grapple compatible with new B2601?

    One month into B2601 / SGC0554 ownership.....My salesman, a very knowledgable tractor guy, reccomended the 54" for the B2601. I was thinking 60" initially, didn't even consider the 48". I too wanted a narrower grapple for maneuvering in the woods. The 54" does not open as wide as the 60" and...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    If responsible gun owners do not find ways to respond to the long-running (and now building) anti-gun establishment, elected officials will utilize the opportunity to appease the 'loudest' crowd with new, stricter requirements of all types onto gun owners and manufacturers. 'Anti-gunners' in...

    Groupthink? To me it's just one person's opinion. It may describe the 'position' of a 'group' but everyone is free to express their opinions here.....Right? :unsure: Thanks for your contribution!:) I saw no 'emotion' either in the post, I just thought it was well composed, and thus well stated...

    Border Collie chasing cars

    Raised two BC's myself; 20 months is a point where the energy is incredible for these dogs! I would suggest more time in 'training', doing 'work' with the dog, border collies really respond well to performing those tasks. I used to play 'frisbee' with my dogs daily and I found a 5-10 minute...

    Interesting? How?....This thread is 'off topic' for a tractor forum IMO...My post reiterated my intention to address the 'topic'....Not bang on anyone, I'm appreciative of meaningful contribution. I guess I just wanted to smooth over my post a little after reflecting on it for a period after...

    Couldn't disagree more with your 'single points of entry' comment; it's BY FAR the easiest, most common, most reliable and simple method of controlling access to schools. How you figure that it would 'result in far more avoidable deaths' doesn't make sense to me. EDIT: All access points remain...

    B2601/BH70 Swing Arc

    Quick, how did the BH70 installation go? Dealer must have grabbed your tractor, back to the shop for install, and back to your place....That's the plan my dealer has in place, if....:oops:

    Help Identifying Hardware Piece

    Probably something related to the cab, IMO.

    B2601/BH70 Swing Arc

    OP: One way of looking at your tractor choice is to examine the physical dimensions of each of the series you have considered. The length, width & weight basically define each tractor, all of the BX/B/LX/L 23-26 HP versions are different and oriented/suited for slightly different use &...

    B2601/BH70 Swing Arc

    I hear what you are saying, but as a B2601 owner who is waiting for my backhoe (BH70) to arrive I'd like to hear more about the problems with your BH70, specifically the quality aspects. Poor manufacturing? It's hard to visualize the 20% swing limit on either side being a major issue (of course...

    B2601 Piranha Bar mounting

    Looks like the Piranha does not utilize the 7 bolt holes used to attach the Kubota bolt-on cutting edge. Mounting with the existing cutting edge results in slightly longer bucket length, making unintentional contact with bucket & other items more likely :oops:but I'd try that first. Edit...

    Guns...Times have changed...

    As a retired LEO who spent 10 years working as a school resource officer it amazes me when communities do not protect schools with uniformed armed on-duty police officers. The PRIDE AND JOY of the entire community is there. Not protecting it sufficiently seems negligent. Don't burden teachers...

    Fail mower B2601

    19.5 PTO HP on the B2601 iirc....As long as the 3-point connection works well it should work fine, IMO. 'Bush hog' is a generic term for a rear PTO 'brush hog' if we're thinking alike. For a 60-inch brush hog, compare your chosen brand to a LP RCR1260 (if you can find pics of both) for a...

    Shipping

    I would do the road trip in a minute, if I had the proper equipment to handle the package on both ends. If time is not critical, perhaps search your local area for contract truckers. The price of diesel right now will certainly add to the total cost. Someone with a 'rig' could be looking for...
