Read articles →An owner-operator uses his B2601's front-end loader to skim fill dirt from a deck-side bed and replace it with topsoil, narrating practical loader tips along the way: running low gear and 4WD, staying around 2,000 RPM, and keeping the bucket low for stability. Light on specs but genuinely useful for new compact-tractor owners wanting real-world technique and safety reminders during routine loader work.
An owner-operator channel run by someone named Ed, who documents hands-on DIY and land-management work on his own 33-acre property, giving the content a practical, non-commercial perspective.
About 2,000 RPM is good for most work that does not involve the PTO, which keeps enough power while digging into a pile.
Keep the load low by keeping the top of the bucket below the top of the hood, which keeps the center of gravity low and reduces tip-over risk.
Use low gear along with four-wheel drive, which gives extra traction and extra power needed for loader work.
Spread it thin in light passes rather than one heavy drop, similar to painting with several light coats, aiming for about two inches thick.
