Everyone here on DT has been very complimentary and helpful in my quest for a new tractor. I spend a lot of time looking and learning my tractor. I get a few "AH-HA" moments when I see something new, or something that I have read about finally makes sense.

What I don't know is whether this "newly found for me" information is helpful to others, or it is just common knowledge, or no one's really interested.

Here's what I discovered today, if anyone's interested, I can post some details and some pics.

How the cruise control works.
260 Backhoe mounting (why a FEL is needed).
Power Beyond hose routing to 260 BH, (what the dealer missed).
Why you can't use chains on a 1026R with backhoe.

Let me know.

Please post what you learned. Not only am I curious, but others can learn too. Not to mention we can always use some more good reading material and pictures. :thumbup1gif:

I'm personally interested in the BH and the power beyond kit.

Thanks Tomfive

Tom . . . as a fellow 1026R owner, I'm genuinely interested.

Please . . . share what you learn with the rest of us so we don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Thanks,

Thanks for your support.

I'll post what I can, but if I ever get too wordy, start rambling or start stating the obvious (like today is Sunday), let me know and I'll tone it down.:shhh:

Please, post up any findings you discover. We are all still learning, it probably shows with me. People come to these forums to learn.
In particular, YOU with a new model tractor should have a wealth of information.

Post, Post, Post!

Keep it coming Tom. You'll be surprised at where some of those threads will go and they usually bring out more good info. We are here to learn. Teach us. :thumbup1gif:

Sawdust, sorry it took so long, I posted pics of the seat in the BH position it the other thread I started "New 1026R with BH - Seat installed backwards?"

(Hmmmm....haven't figured out how to easily paste a link yet)
