    L2501TSC 48 inch Box Blade or no?

    Your profile lists a BX2680, which a 48" might be appropriate. As mentioned the L2501 should handle a wider blade.

    Bushhog in Reverse

    Not as much now. When I first acquired my property it had several large berry patches on sloped areas. I would back right into them until the throns dug into me. I soon found that I had to secure the hitch pins on the 3pt to hog otherwise the man eating berries would rip them out! I also...

    I need a better step up to my BX backhoe platform

    Speaking of small BH platforms, it would be nice to have a lock out on the control levers, as it seems they could accidently be activated while mounting or dismounting the Bh.

    B2620

    The tractor will need to be split. Not to bad of a job, just time consuming! I had to do mine a couple of years ago after mowing tall grass which warped around the shaft and tore up the seals. Here is a post (Tall grass under belly protection) I did with a pic of the shield I made to help keep...

    PTO bypass..

    If your B2630 is like my B2620, I used to hold the seat safety switch down with part of the wire loom. Worked just fine, of course it is a safety switch!

    Where to buy Pin on forks?

    I am trying to keep the lifting capacity as high as OEM. I think I can make a fixture to hold things in line and not planning on changing frequently. I do have a large concrete lab which I have all my 3pt accessories on dollies.

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    Looks good, I am sure you will not have a problem with those forks. I have been thinking of something similar, and might be going all the way with a custom simple latching system. I have a set of custom forks on my 3ph, if possible I will incorporate into into a loader fork system. I like...

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    Are you going to covert the bucket or buy a new bucket set up with the ssqa built in it? I have been backing off a bit as the disclaimer on the web site for adaptor that Wolfman posted has a disclaimer regarding reduced lift capacity. I am not so much worried about lift capacity on the bucket...

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    Thanks for the reply. I looked through the ATI web site and did not see the ssqa listing for my La364 loader. Do you have a part number for this conversion?

    Converting B2620 to SSQA from Vevor

    I am looking at converting to SSQA from current pin on set up. Titian would cost about $550 for 3/8" mounting plate for original bucket and conversion adaptors. Vevor has the 3/8" plate and adaptors for $264. They both appear to look the same. Any input on switching over to the SSQA would be...

    My B2620 doesnt have 3 point hitch.. Compatibility? I need to build..

    I bought my 2620 used and was given the 3pt set up for a Bx. Not knowing that it was not the correct set up for the 2620 I used it anyways without any issues, pulled a 5' woods box blade with it. I did notice that the lower arms would hit the BH mounting brackets limiting how high the lower...

    Attaching a backhoe issues

    It’s always a PIA when things just don’t line up! It looks like there is little wear on the mounting surfaces, do you know if the BH has ever been on this tractor and sub frame? If I am interrupting your pictures correctly it looks like the BH mounts are about 7/16s wider than the sub frame...

    What to look for in a used bandsaw mill?

    Thanks for the responses. The mill is a 2022 only had 13 hrs on it. All seemed right and tight. Started right up and ran nicely although it was not under load. I'll for sure be joining a sawmill forums now that I own it. :)
