Ummmm..... OK.....
Sorry new member today having problem with the loader arm so when I twist around or use the back blade seems like my leg hits the loader arm and drops it down I know it has a lock for the loader but defeats the purpose cuz I need to bucket and the blade working at the same time does anybody have a remedy or is it just me or is there a relocation for the arm or maybe the pedals thanks

I don't know how your FEL control is mounted but I can't imagine the gyrations required on my tractor to have such a problem. Having said that, have you considered a magnet mount rear view mirror on one or both fenders to observe the blade without turning around? I know Amazon carries them.

His boot or knee is hitting the floor mounted loader control as he’s twisted around, you can’t even feel it happening. This used to happen to me all the time on the B2601 while backing up. With a little extra space on LX I have not had this problem. The only way I avoided it on B2601 was to be more mindful. It’s not a great design.

Same on my B2620 and now my B2601. Just have to be careful. Yes, I have dumped the bucket when backing up.

When wearing my tall insulated rubber boots with heavy insulated coverall pants over them, I still do this even after 6 years running this tractor. With regular ankle boots i sense my leg touching the lever before it tilts the bucket down. Or forks.
The loader lever is totally shined up by constant leg/boot contact, right at the lowest bend before dissappearing below the deck.
Earlier days when I was welding more I would have tried fabbing a different shaped lever rod with an inch or 2 more legroom there.
