Best ad ons for a B series?

[donn12]

So far I would not want to be without my QA buckets and forks. Yesterday I switched 4 times moving gravel, 6x6s and digging. BTW the 60" bucket is great for gravel - no problem when full. I would not want to do this without the backhoe on though.
The other item I added which I love are the rear wheel spacers. Makes a HUGE difference in feel. To use my spreader I end up going across a decent slope and the B2920 feels more stable than my BX24 did (which also had spacers).
Anything else?

Telescopic stabilisers in lieu of turnbuckles on TPL.

Kubota doesn't list a quick attach for the B2920 in their builder program online. They list one for the B3200, but not for any of the smaller B models. Is this a Kubota option/attachment that just isn't listed in the builder program? Deere offers Q/A standard all the way down to the sub-compact size loaders. I'd like to throw a set of forks on for moving logs around at our cabin.

When the Quick attachment plates move the load out further and add more weight it means the attachments might cut the load carrying ability below what might be needed.

Some of the manufacturers have devised there own systems which keeps the customer coming back because there is only one manufactuer building them!

I believe the attachment points for the 2920 loader are the same as the 3200 so the QA would work fine on your loader.:thumbsup:

Yes, several of us here have purchased the B3200 QA to use on our smaller B tractors, and the QA works just fine!

And of course you all know what I like to have.:thumbsup:

I have a B3030. Even though it came with extendible links, I really like the Pats Easy Change "slide-ins" I purchased for it. I find it much easier to hook up implements with the PECS than with the extendible links (let alone what it must be like with normal, non-extendible lower links).

The PECS replace the standard "slideable" links that come on the tractor. Slide the old ones out, slide the PECS in and you're good to go.

One nice thing about the slide-ins vs the regular PECS -- they don't increase the distance between the tractor and the implement. ie. no need to worry about changing the length of any PTO shafts.

Backhoe w/ thumb

amen, I second the thumb

I would probably die of happiness if I had a hydraulic thumb

I tried to get one of these ratchet rakes because I have some areas where I want to rake out low brush but it was such a hassle trying to getting one from Tractor Supply I gave up. I tried to order one through my local tractor supply but they acted like I was crazy - they didn't know what it was. Then after they located one the shipping between stores was outrageous on it. I ran around with them for awhile - wasn't worth it, didn't like dealing with tractor supply at all.

Most experiences with TSC have not been positive for me. Put it on the list for when you are in a state that has it. It is one of my most useful implements and easiest to attach of all..

I have a thumb but a hydro thumb would be incredible! I also have the Pats and I love it. probably should have listed it with the QA and spacers.
Regarding the lift capacity, I read about that but doubt I will ever be able to tell. The 2920 will lift the 60" bucket full of gravel like its empty!

 

[donn12]

also the forks are a little pricy so you could get the QA and an extra bucket for 500 or so if I recall. my smaller bucket has a toothbar and my 60 does not.

I just ordered a Ratchet Rake from a TSC in Florida. They can ship it UPS since it is the smaller version. Not a big hassle at all. Should be here tomorrow, I hope.

Go direct and skip the TSC to TSC shipping.

Pats easy change, and a bucket grapple, oh yeah a snow plow

How's that snowplow work? Do you bog down pushing that much snow? I've got a smaller b also and was thinking about having a friend fabricate something but was wondering if 6 ft was to wide.

 

[tyler101]

I would love to fabricate something similar to that snowplow.

I had a "B" series for 12 years. Just upgraded to a larger chassis/motor tractor; I jumped from my old 19HP B8200HST-D to a 40HP NH TC40D.

My B8200 was a great tractor, albeit a little underpowered for it's size. It is the same size as the newer B2910, B3200.

I never did add on auxillary front lighting, but that seems to be the worst thing about the "B" series. Those headlights were pitiful. Now, mine was an '85 manufacture, so maybe they fixed that by now?

The best thing I added to that tractor, was TnT. By and far, the best thing. My new tractor does not have it, and it is not in the immediate budget. I miss that!

If I were to walk out and get another "B" today, that would be the first two things to add. TnT, and front headlight that actually illuminate something.
