Thank you for the feedback. I am swaying towards the 2" Bro-Tek. I see a lot of advice on forums that in order to clear the fenders of the LX when running tire chains on the larger 15-19.5 tires, spacers are a needed. But there is never a mention on what size spacer is needed. I hate to invest...

I do plan to have the BH77 backhoe on 90% of the time. It seems that too long of spacers in conjunction with weight of the backhoe might allow added pressure to the real axle. Yes? No? Maybe????

Thank you for the advice. Might there be any suggestions on what size spacers to use on the LX2610SU? Since there is no cab or MMM, I am strictly focused on stability on hills, and the ability to use tire chains. I want the rear tires wide enough to provide stability, but not so wide that I...

I am seriously considering upgrading my B2320 to an LX2610SU. But now I see Kubota is coming out with an all new LX2620SU. Does anyone know what the differences are between these two models? And is the LX2620SU now available at dealers? Any info or thoughts about the new model would be appreciated?

Questions for those of you with the LX2610SU and larger tires: 1) Is there enough space between the tire and fender to put tire chains on? 2) Do you have any problems with getting a box blade to lower enough to be effective?

Has anyone run the smaller R4 tires on their SU? That would fix the tire chain issue. My dealer says they are an option, but I read somewhere that the smaller tires don't come standard on the SU because the oversize tires actually help with something to do with the backhoe. What disadvantage...

I am still learning about the LX2610SU, and it sounds like they come with the oversize tires. I like the idea of more height, but concerned about others commenting about limited space for tire chains. I own a 70 acre woodlot located on a hillside in New Hampshire. The ground is rocky, and the...

Thanks for the info. I am actually looking at the LX2610SUHSD.

I initially eyed the B2601, but the LX2610SU doesn't cost much more. I only plan to use the front end loader, backhoe, and box blade. I sat on both machines, and the B2601 was way more comfortable. The LX2610SU was just okay, and I thought it felt more cramped. I am 5'10", 260 lbs. Now had I not...

Yes, $1.30/1000/month

I did compensate for the additional year. However, I discovered a miscalculation on my part. When re-calculated correctly, the KTAC does indeed figure out to $1.30 per thousand (of the actual equipment cost). My bad, but perhaps this will reassure others who want to estimate their insurance cost.

$1.30 is the standard figure used in several threads and one dealer video. Reportedly it is a set rate. Of course, I don't know this for a fact, but am hopeful someone with knowledge about KTAC can pipe in. If it fluctuates, that's one thing. But if it is a set rate, the dealer is obviously...

I am looking to buy either B2601 @ 0% for 72 months, or the LX2610 @ 0% for 84 months. When I do the math, the KTAC insurance comes out to be $1.40 per thousand on the LX2610, and $1.33 per thousand on the B2601. What gives with the different rates? I thought KTAC had a set rate of $1.30 per...

I have a 54" Everything Attachment box blade for my B2320. I am upgrading tractors to either the B2601, or LX2610. The LX2610 will work better for most of my needs (moving big rocks, stumping trees, pushing snow, etc..), but I won't be able to afford a bigger box blade if I get the bigger...

I live in New Hampshire and have a B2320 with ag tires. We get a fair amount of snow, and freezing rain in the winter months. My driveway is flat and unpaved. It is not unusual for me to sand the driveway because of ice, I will need to move piles of heavy snow that slides off the metal roof of...
