The manual for this Snow Pusher states that it needs to be used with a '...Kubota BX front loader with or without BX6315 Quick Hitch'.

I'm wondering if this SPL0560 will attach to my B2601 loader quick attach (SSQA) system. Are there any B2601 owners currently using this setup?

I've tried to find documentation addressing this fit but thus far have come up empty, thought I'd try this forum and see if there any users with experience. Thanks in advance for any info! :) (y)

It will fit with no issues. As far as I know those have no issue between the BX and B series. Its once you start getting into the larger machines you could possibly damage it as it's not as heavy duty.

Thanks for the info; I finally found a vid on u-tube where a member was using one on a B2301, so I'm pretty sure it'll fit on my B2601. (y)

A SPL0560 will not work on an SSQA equipped loader unless it comes with the adapter plates, it's originally designed for a completely different BX mounting system!

Thanks for the replies; the need for 'adapter plates' is correct, the one I looked at already had those adapters attached! :)

I wonder how well they work on the BX tractors because I know that there have been times that I can't move the snow in front of my plow blade without pushing it off to the side every 20' or so, since the snow is so heavy. This is why a snowblower is the best answer for my situation of moving the snow off of my very long driveway. After I get the driveway cleaned of snow, I go back over it with my snow plow to get down to the bare pavement, so there is no ice forming on the driveway to cause vehicular issues.

Are you looking at the one that is for sale on the local Facebook Marketplace in NH?

Keep posting @DustyRusty, I've learned more about Kubota snowblowers from reading your posts than I have in my own research! (y) :)

Yes; looked nice but after watching some videos I've decided to stick with my current (22 years & running) setup.

The videos I've seen make snow removal with a tractor seem labor intensive; a front-mount snowblower would be awesome for large dumps, but my snow removal needs are more commonly frequent light accumulation cleanup. :)

I have the SPL0560 with backdrag on my 2380 with R14T tires and ballast box. The storm we had mid-November was first time I really had to use it. First time was 10-12", mostly powdery type snow. I'd say it easily cut my time in 1/2 over the 48" bucket. As far as heavy wet snow, haven't had that yet, so we'll find out. If it's too much for the pusher, that's why I have a Honda HS1132 track drive snowblower as backup (y)
