Does anyone have a B2601 with a Bx2816 on it? whats the performance? Do I need the brush guard B tilt #B3412 for the snowblower and loader? the instructions weren't very clear. I cant seem to find any pictures of the K connect attached to the tractor if someone could take a few pics id appreciate it.

I got it all together the only thing I cant figure out is how the manual chute crank hand gets attached to the tractor. Anyone have a picture ?

There is an L bracket that bolts to the tractor and the handle goes through a hole in the bracket. Most people throw them in the trash and opt for the hydraulic turning system. I built my own on my BX22 using a hydraulic motor. That was about 20 years ago before Kubota offered anything other than the hand crank.

Yeah i have the handle mount, it says to replace carriage bolts and mount but the B2601 doesn't have carriage bolts the deck has a stud which seems welded to it.
im thinking of getting the woodmaxx unit and making it work.

the hydraulic pressure/volume are the same ???

Have you considered the electric option(s)? Either power the worm screw or use a cable wrap setup.

One 'cheat', is to download the 'parts list' of the unit, often the hydraulic motor will be listed as the make/model from the mfr, or you google the 'part number' to find a cross reference to it.
You could use any $40 'ATV winch' to do the 'lasso the chute' method . Probably the cheapest,cleanest ,easiest way to do it.
