B series fel question.

[lawn_king]

Can you get standard quick attach on the b series fel buckets? Or should i say b series fels?

There are two species of Quick Attach: 1.) versatile SSQA (Skid Steer Quick Attach) and 2.) pin-on attachment of FEL bucket to the loader arms.

SSQA weighs 100 pounds plus, which will reduce your bucket lift capacity by same.

I know for my B7610 there weren't any SSQA backs offered a few years ago. With a nominal lift capacity of about 700 lbs if you take off 100 for the SSQA and say another 200 to 300 for an attachment lift becomes small.

It depends on which model you are looking at. Not all "B" series tractors have QA or Pin On model FEL's.

Some of the B series have a proprietary QA. I would not call pin on "quick attach" by any stretch of the imagination.

Thanks gentlemen. Im about tto pull the trigger on a new b model, trying to decide between the 2320 or the 2920.

I bought a B3200 last year with the Kubota quick attach. As other pointed out the SSQA weighs a lot and reduces your lift capacity. I like the Kubota QA, I dropped my bucket in about 30 seconds. Pull two hitch pins then pull the two attachment pins. Lift the loader arms and back away. Works really slick. The downside is you are limited to ready to buy attachments for the front end. Somewhere on the forum somebody posted about using 3X3 steel tubing to make your own attachment points on an implement. I haven't tried it yet....but I may. I've been looking for a fork attachment and found that you can buy new ones (a lot cheaper than the Kubota brand) with the Kubota QA mount.

If you go into thick brush, wire or tape the bucket QA lynch pins. Brush pulled one of my lynch pins out, pivot pin worked out, resulting in a bent bucket support frame which was an expensive repair.

I work in woods much of the time. I replaced QA lynch pins with 6M X 45 metric nuts and bolts.

The 2620 uses the same loader as the 2920 so unless you need extra horsepower for PTO work the 2620 would be the bargain.

I had the same thing happen on my draw bar, and i ran it over with my rotary cutter. Needless to say, i dont keep the drawbar on the tractor now!
