3-Point Hitch Anybody with a B26?

[hodge]

I have to make a set of 3ph stabilizers for a B26. The customer currently has the backhoe installed. Does anyone have a B26 with the hoe off, or photos of the 3 point hitch on one? I need a photo to see how the factory turnbuckles install, and I will need measurements. My local dealership doesn't have one on the lot.
Or, if you know of a comparable tractor, with the same mounting system and dimensions, and are certain of the information, that would help me greatly. Usually, I can find photos online of the 3 point hitch, and I usually already have the measurements, or can find a tractor locally to get them. Not this time.

Go to youtube and check out video "Kubota Three Point Hitch Overview".
Hope it helps.

Astanton, thanks for the suggestion, but I need specific information.
I make and sell stabilizers that replace the turnbuckles,
and I am quite familiar with 3 point hitches. I have made stabilizers for quite a few different Kubota models, as well as other makes of tractors. But, I haven't made a set yet for a B26, nor do I have access to one to get measurements from.
I did find a photo from a Kubota archive, which shows the tractor without a backhoe mounted. The stabilizers look real close to a B7800. So, that gives me the information that I need to extrapolate measurements from.

Hodge- I have one and normally would be happy to help, but I just dropped my at the dealership to have them go over it really well so when Gary Fowler (TBN member) buys it from me early next month we will know if there are any problems. Sorry I can't help, I can tell you that if I weren't selling the machine I'd be VERY insterested in a set of those, they seem like a real time saver.

Thanks- the intent to help is just as gracious as the action. I did find what I needed online. Usually I can find 3 point hitch photos of tractors on tractorhouse, etc. I also stop in at local tractor dealerships periodically, as well as auctions and farm sales, to measure tractors that I haven't encountered yet. In many cases, when a person contacts me, I already have the measurements that I need. This time, it just proved a little more elusive. I have it now, though, jotted down in my stabilizer notebook, so I am ready for the next B26.

If you want me to post a photo of the hitch on my B3030 let me know.

Wouldn't the 3pt hitch components from similar sized B series tractors be the same as the B26?

If you can't find anybody who can measure up a B26 for you - trying going thru the online parts catalogs that Messicks has posted - cross reference the 3pt hitch components from say a B3030 or a B3200 - with the hitch components for the B26. See if the part numbers match up. If they do - it's likely the 3pt hitch setup on the B26 is the same as one of the similar sized B tractors.

If you don't have the measurements for a B3030, B3200, or B3300 already - then you probably stand a higher chance of finding one of those on a lot that you can measure - or finding somebody here on TBN who has one that has the hitch mounted and can take some measurements for you.

I have measurements the measurements that I need.

hodge, I have a 2008 b26. I am very much intested in stabilizers for my three point hitch. Tell me a bit about the stabilizer you make. When i use my rotary cutter, it has quite a bit of lateral sway. I need to replace the sway links that someone else put on it, but none the less, I want to look at stabilizers too.

Dave, I sent you a PM.
