B2601 Bucket Width (Tooth Bar Related)

[MDG1982]

Hello folks (first post for me),

I am anxiously awaiting delivery of a B2601 and have a very quick question;

Is there a standard sized tooth bar from BXpanded that is virtually guaranteed to fit the Kubota B2601? Or, does the interior bucket width minorly vary based on manufacturing?

I was hoping I could order a piranha tooth bar before delivery of my tractor, but I suspect I'll have to wait and measure the bucket interior upon arrival. Any feedback with experience is appreciated - thanks!

I would 'think' one 1/4 inch less than the bucket width 'might' fit ?
say you have a 60 inch bucket,- 2x 1/8 thkness = 59 3/4
or use 59 1/2 and 2 washers as shims ?

My experience with BXpanded is they know what they are doing. Thew always want to know what model you are ordering for and what year it is. I am sure they will be very familiar with your new bucket. At least worth the phone call.

On my b2601 I have a pin on bucket which measures 52 1/4” inside dimension and the BX Epanded toothbar measures 52” bracket to bracket. So whatever is the inside dimension of your bucket subtract 1/4” and you will be good to go

Thanks for all of your input and suggestions, folks. I'm also trying to find a vendor in Canada with a similar product, but not much luck as of yet. (NOTE: I should have mentioned that the bucket will be a 54" size).

So I just measured the inside diameter of my 54" quick attach bucket. 52 1/4 from side to side. However, at the cutting edge there is a reinforcement on each side which reduces the inside diameter to 51 7/8

Thanks for pointing out the reinforcement plates - much appreciated!
