I bought my B2650 6 days ago, and 4 days ago I removed the backhoe so that I could mount the 3 point "stuff" and hook up to my 72" rear blade to play in the snow. So, the snow has passed and I wanted to get the backhoe back inside the warm garage and not laying out in the UV and moisture.
So this is the very first time for me putting the backhoe onto the B2650 subframe. I'd done this in my BX25D 3 or 4 times, so I have been through the procedure before on that other machine. I must say, the backhoe goes on this B2650 much easier! The pins on the BX didn't fit perfectly, you had to lift the rear tires to get one pin in and then set the tires down just right while you tweak the pressure on the backhoe to subframe to allow that second pin to go in. That second one never just slips in, you have to push and twist to walk it in.
On this bad boy it's like throwing a broom handle down a hallway! Lift the tires and they slide in like they are undersized. Super perfect alignment!
Any ways, about 4 minutes to install, and I'm not in a giant hurry....
