B2601 pin on bucket?

[VaGlock]

Looking at a used B2601 that has the pin on bucket, what would I have to buy from Kubota to convert it to the Quick attach bucket? I see on their build site that is about $450 for the quick attach bracket, plus about the same for the bucket. Is the rest of the loader the same?

I'd think the loader is the same for both, makes no sense otherwise. You may be able to tradein the pinon bucket for the SSQA version, recover some of your cash ?

I did a little more research last night and found a Kubota dealer that sells a kit that includes the FEL bracket and and a weld on bracket to change up the pin on bucket for $775. I would think one could buy the FEL bracket ($440) and the factory QA bucket ($460), and like you said sell/trade in the pin on and recoup some of your money. probably works out the same or a little cheaper if you have to pay for the welding on of the bracket. I used the build page to get the prices for the OEM bracket and QA bucket not sure if that price is the same buying from dealer parts dept.
