FEL legs on b2601

[awesome]

I kept having issues with the right side pin that keeps the FEL legs up on my tractor. The pin would bend or loosen up and fall. Yesterday it happened again and the leg came off as I was pulling a tree with the bucket so the leg bent while it was dragging on the ground.

The hell with this, I never take off the FEL so I conpletely removed the legs. Anyone else ever had issues with this?

I can always put it back if I want to remove the FEL (I don't see why I would) but I'm not sure I'll remember how to

I only use mine when loader is off and otherwise are left off. Dealer did a poor job of installing the third function tubes and are in the way of the right leg when stored. Besides I do not need any extra unnecessary weight on the loader.

Yep, when it is adjusted right it works well, when its not, this happens,, I know all about it, same thing happend to me. It is a simple adjustment , that unless someone shows you you would never know. I sat on the shop managers desk while speaking in low soft tone about,, things till he called a guy out form the shop to show me. If I can find the drawing I will post it, but all it is , is a 3/8 bolt I think , loosen up and knock in a spacer a bit and re tighten. The problem is that it works out of adjustment when you use the FEL and this is what happens.

It’s a pretty poor design that was supposed to make something that is easy, easier by needlessly complicating the process, number of parts, cost and likelihood of malfunction and damage. Probably the same fellow that designed the cup holders in an Audi designed it.

The FEL stand on my old L3830 is so much simpler to use and reliable. But oh nos, I have to dismount twice while taking the FEL off. And once for the B2601, because that silly gang plug for the hydraulics isn’t coming off from the operators platform without gymnastics.

It’s as stupid as a Bluetooth refrigerator.

No problems with mine yet; by looking at your picture it's pretty easy to tell which leg is 'left' and 'right'
