It does not have quick connect hydraulics or quick connect pins at the loader/frame connection. It isn't designed to be removed regularly like many of the CUTS. If a detachable loader is a requirement, then you'd need to look at a B2630 or B3030 (similar frame size). On the B26, you could remove the bucket at the QA to shorten the front end a little for certain tasks.

they actually use the same frame. If the B26 was apealing to you, I would consider the 2630 with atleast a BH75 (try the woods one, the 80x I think it is) and then you will have detachable front loader and BH. specs out the same for the tractor itself (not the FEL or BH, but the tractor)
B26 = 2630 with a differant hydraulic pump and a few minor changes to be a more heavy duty variant, but basicly the same. Weaker attachments, but you can drop the FEL if you want. Both models offer detachable BH's

I was thinking about trading up to a B26 as soon as i could actually see one at my dealer.I was under the impression the B26 had a double frame to make it a more heavy duty piece over the 2630/3030,maybe i'm wrong.
I was also toying with the idea of getting a B3030 w/maybe
a Woods BH80-x and maybe a Woods FEL. I just found out a short time ago that the Woods attachments have a 2 yr. warranty on them,compared to the 1 year warranty on the Kubota attachments.
By the time i go w/the Woods attachments w/the B3030 though,i might as well get the B26 ,for the extra cost of the Woods attachments.I might save a couple thousand,but i still dont think it would be as heavy duty as the B26.

yes, you are correct on the double frame thing, forgot to mention that. Also, I think that you are still better off getting a 26 over trying to pimp out the 3030. Even if you spend more for the 3030, which you will, you will not get the numbers of the B26, and you will be putting a lot of strain on the 3030. Some TBN'rs don't even think it can handle a 80x in the long run, not to mention you will be creating a strain on the weaker hydraulic system of the 3030
