I just bought the same winch. Would you mind sharing the mods you made to your quick hitch? Also have you had any issues using the quick hitch? FX85 and above manuals indicate the winches are not quick hitch compatible, but FX40 doesn't say that. Thanks for great video.

Hi there, the space between the two bottom three point pins are the right width for the quick hitch but I had to use the floating top link for the top one. It works well. I will make sure and put it in a video in the future. I hope that helps.

@@timschison52 Yes, I have the floating top link for my Quick Hitch. I'm assuming that I will need to drill a hole or modify it somehow and that I will have to bolt the floating top link so it does not float? Thank you for response and help.

Thanks for the vid. Im seriously thinking of upgrading to the 2601 from the BX. I like the way you described your grapple "Back Saver 2000" no lie there, for us aging men anything you can do to not bend so much is a gift. Not to mention the grapple really shines picking up and pulling out brush pile. The very best attachment you can put on that machine if you aske me. Cheers from Washington State.

I hav a B2601 and have put 700 hours on it and have never taken the front end loader off of it. To each their own. I use the bucket, a stump bucket, a grapple, forks, a box blade, a single plow, a front mounted trailer hitch, and a mid-mount mower and none of this requires the front end loader to be removed in my opinion.
@timschison528 ай бұрын
At my house it is very tight for getting around with the mid mount mower so removing the loader is a must,,,unless I want to do a pile of trimming. Thanks for watching!
@johnnsmith79328 ай бұрын
@@timschison52 I'm just the opposite. At tight places I use my Deere X390. I have a very deep and steep ditch by the highway and having the front end loader with the bucket on makes it feel much safer going up the ditch banks with the mid mount mower. In addition this lets me step over the mower deck to attach and it makes it much faster to attach and remove. Everyone's conditions. are different so we all have to. do what's best for our situation. Have a great day!

According to the FTC, since at least 2021, Kubota has labeled thousands of those parts as Made in USA when, in fact, they were imported from overseas. In addition, the FTC says that the company moved some its manufacturing to locations outside the United States and yet continued to label those products as Made in USA.Jan 26, 2024
