B2601 frt loader bucket question.

[lilguy]

My new 2601 has the quicktach 60 in light material bucket. It'll work great for gravel/earth/mulch bags and such.
The one thing it won't handle, I believe, is the Payne Forks I used on my old L2250. It obviously had a heavier pinded 60 in bucket which worked well with the pallet forks. Is there a heavier bucket available or should I just go for the quicktach Kubota forks.Thanks all.

Golly, iff'n it were me, I'd want QA all the way! Get the bucket off, and go forks in a heartbeat. So much handier than pinning the forks on.

I'm envious of you guys with that feature!

I'm using clamp-on forks on a BX, and it really isn't that handy or efficient due to the length from the pins.

I have the clamp on forks now but the QT bucket is lighter duty.

Get some QA forks, there are many lightweight and less expensive options when comparing to the Kubota offering-that's the great thing about the SSQA setup.

i dont have the quick release bucket on my 2601....

IF i did ? then id have a set of forks set up for it..

being the lightweight bucket? & the distance it puts that weight farther out front? you arent gonna have much lifting capacity in that set up.
