At least in Wisconsin new B2601 are on an unknown quality delay. Hard to get a straight answer. Our dealer has a 2019 with 45hours, under warranty for ~$4000 less. Outfitted the same. That might be hard to pass up. Am I missing anything from a 2019 to a new 2021?

Up here, you'd be missing out on 'donating' and additional $650 Canucks to the guvs !
I'd go for it, providing they do the '50 hr' oil/filter changes.....
Also you would HAVE the tractor !!

I'm not an expert on the B2601 but assuming there were no major revisions over the past few years I'd go for it. I'd try to get an extra year or two of extended warranty just to sweeten the deal a bit but it wouldn't be a deal breaker for me.
quality delay might be the loader valve connection ? WAG
2019 might be the 4 separate hose connector version what ever its called
, making the used more attractive. IMO I bought mine before change over.

Surprised a dealer has a used tractor.. they offered me wholesale price at first for my year old bx23s with 93 hours on it.. I managed to get 19 from them when I paid almost 24.. plus taxes.. and they did not sell it on there lot.. that was at the beginning of covid.. im sure the delays in getting new equipment has something to do with them selling a used tractor... that are they are a better dealer then mine... which isn't saying much dealer sucks
I would buy it.. being it has the warranty.. saving yourself money and if it had any issues they have been fixed

Main change recently was the single lever coupler, replacing the pioneer couplers. Some people with the single lever coupler say it leaks. I have the pioneers, as I had on my BX, and I really dislike them. Maybe if I had the single lever I'd dislike it for leaking. I'm getting used to the pioneers, as my hoses wear in a bit they're easier to get on and off than they were - the first few times I was cursing the fact that NZ doesn't import the single lever coupler. For some reason the second hose from the top just never wants to connect, and it's a bit cramped between the loader and the loader frame and tractor, so you can't get a good angle to push it on easily. Anyway.....for $4K not really a thing that'd change my mind.
