Mounting 260 on 2017 JD1025R

I know this is ambiguous and subjective, but I found a 260a for $3k. I’d just have to buy the mounts ($1500 kit). Do you guys think it’s a good price or should I wait? I’m not in a rush for one, as of yet. I have a few months to play with before it is needed. I have a July 11, 2017 1025r which misses the second gen cutoff by like two days.

Also have these leftover. Can’t even find them in the directions and I didn’t skip anything.

Syscocell: I found on my tractor that the seat belt bracket would hang with the seat. My preference was not to use seat belt so I removed and same hardware. I also removed the upper bar on my roll bar and the cross piece at the bottom....some may say unsafe but catching that stuff in trees and etc in my take was unsafer....also on the seat the pivot rod will probably fail at the ball connection so I used a larger on out of nickel from McMasters. I can sent you pics of my seat if this would help....glad you got it back together....I'm working on hydraulic thumb now since my valve will work with backhoe...

I considered removing the belt but I keep the rops folded down unless I’m doing “work”. And at that point, I buckle in. If you roll it, won’t help if you flip off the seat and get smashed by the machine. I think I’ll just keep the belt loose. Thanks!

Keep me posted on the hydraulic thumb. I’m always looking to spend money on cool stuff!

So, thanks for the photos. I had my seat mounted backwards on the swivel bracket which explains why it was so freakin high when driving forward with it.
