Is a B2650 a Good/Capable model??

[ItBmine]

Thanks PHPaul. That's exactly why I'll take longer to do my work, I'm not buying a tractor with a DPF. It's bad enough they are giving my nightmares on the big trucks.

I just read a review when they came out, that the B2650 cab was a bit underpowered, but doesn't sound like it to me from owners have been saying. Good to hear.

Same with me ItBmine, when I started looking for a new tractor, I was drawn to the 3350, 3 more hp then what I had seemed perfect but as soon as I saw that regen button on the dash, I asked what else do you without a DPF system. I gladly went down a few hp to avoid that system. We had a DPF system truck die on the interstate on us last Friday. Today it's in the shop, what a nightmare.

What honestly surprises me, is the seemingly unknown nightmare that is diesel emissions on this site. Im not kidding when I say I personally know 6 people who have dropped huge money deleting that crap. A Service Manager at my old job has a 16' F250. Helped out last summers Hay harvest. His truck went into Regen while idling and he's loading hay bales on the trailer. Almost lost the truck, trailer and was pushing flaming hay bales off trailer in a panic with loader.

The local farmer who has fields around me had a NH almost burn 15 acres in a parked regen incident.

What really confuses me, is the wasting of diesel for these regens, but nobody pushes back on the EPA.

Id rather spend money on a used Tier 3 machine than gamble with a DPF. I prefer to idle, and lug my machine along and only ramp RPMs when needed.

I know, Im the bad guy...

I have about 40 hours on my 2650 and love it. It has moved crushed stone, graded about 2 acres of land, and I have used it along with the front mount blower to moves lots of snow. It was a great buy in my opinion and I am happy that I went with it over a BX.

Question for the B2650 owners.

I went to see the tractor today. One thing I noticed is that when operating the FEL (empty bucket), maybe 75lbs on the 3ph, and loaded rear tires, the loader operating seemed a bit jerky. At the end of the movement it seemed to jerk the loader arms and the tractor around.

When I operate my b7800, it does not do this. But I usually have around 300lbs
on the back of the 3ph and tires are not loaded.

Am I just experiencing a more Heavy Duty Hyd pump in action, or a different dynamic due to the loader arms being closer to the center-not as wide apart as the la502 on the B7800?

Another question: Can the ROP's be set to a full down positon?
Perpendicular to the ground/parralell to the lower support section?

Yes, it can, but you cant use the 3 point with it set there. The third link will make catastrophic contact with the lowered rops bar.
