B2601 Front Blade Questions

[Mwchris]

Hello,
Im hoping Pat, or another dealer rep or B2601 owner will chime in here . . .

I have a B2601 with quick attach FEL and I would like to purchase a front blade with hydraulic up, down and angle left right adjustment. I found the used unit below which includes the sub frame kit. I’m curious if it will fit my B2601?

That's not a FEL snow blade, it's a Quick Hitch blade.

I’m aware it is not a FEL blade.
I do not want a FEL blade.
I intend to remove the FEL and attach the blade when needed.

I think the set up you are looking for has a mounting system that extends up and under the frame of your tractor maybe 2 feet. Google is god. You will figure it out. Good luck.

Since I live in Texas I have no need for a snow plow or how they operate but:

Why would you want one that requires you to remove the FEL from the tractor and possibly the FEL subframe?

Are there some disadvantages to the ones attached to the FEL?

I had a plow on my B2620 that I moved to my B2601. The mount I have is a B2714 and I was able to make it work by ordering a couple of brackets that went to the mount B2791 that was for the B2650. The mount you show is for the BX series. Don't know if it will work. As you can see in pictures my mount hangs on the front like the BX but also attaches to the frame of the tractor.

If you have the la435 loader, the plow blade attaches to that just exactly like a fel bucket does. You don't need any additional subframes or anything, just hook it up to the loader, attach the lines, and that's it. I mean...you COULD modify that loader in your pic to work, sure, but you'd be doing a lot of modification, and who knows if you'd even be able to use the loader at the same time. I guess it'd be up to you if you want to go through all that work to save a little money, even though you could probably find a used fel blade for the same price if that's the route you want to go.

I have the hydraulic blade for my b2601 btw, haven't ever actually used it in any serious snow as we've only had mild winters ever since i owned it.
