Loader Loader and brush hog at same time?

[Nellie08]

Hello.
New here very impressed with the advice I have read. Just bought a new Kubota B2601 with a 4' Land Pride brush cutter. Can I cut with the FEL on? or do I need to remove the entire loader assembly every time I want to mow. The tractor/loader will be stored on gravel not a concrete flat surface.
A lot to learn on this, very excited.

Thanks all.

I leave the loader on if I am mowing areas with heavy brush and small trees where I don't want the front of the tractor torn up. In areas with tight turns and larger trees I take the bucket off for easier maneuvering. I use my bucket almost daily and even with the quick disconnect I generally leave it on. Just depends on the circumstance. In all my years of tractor ownership, over 45 years and 18 units, I do not ever remember taking the whole loader frame off for any reason, just the bucket.

Good input from UTOPIA TEXAS.

Consider the addition of a Ratchet Rake bucket attachment when mowing. RR and R/C are complementary.

You may want Check Chains to give a uniform cutting height with your KK R/C:

Thanks Utopia.
Man that Ratchet Rake would help me out a lot in the N.W woods where I live. Lots of Vine Maple.

You can order a Ratchet Rake from the T-B-N store. Beware, one of the two RR buttons within the store is inoperative. (Go to top of this page.)

I have some hills, so i always leave the FEL on and even add in several buckets of rocks for counter balance..

Absolutely leave my FEL on when I bush hog. It helps knock down high growth and provides counterweight. I actually will sometimes carry some sort in the bucket for more weight.

FEL and bucket on here. In tall grass that I havent cut before I lower the bucket to catch stumps, rocks and other non-mowables to save damage.

Loader and brush bull are frequently working together in my life.
