Many thanks for the input. Till I get the pole barn built I would like to be able to park it in one stall of our two car garage. Did not have a tape measure with me but with the bucket sitting like it is in the picture I paced the length from the bucket to the back end of the rear blade at 14 foot if thats accurate it would fit on my big tex 35SA utility trailer that is 6.5 x 14 foot with a 1922 pound cargo capacity to bring her home and take it in to get serviced. What is the length of your B2601?

Do not do that,......unless you plan on very soon buying a bigger tractor, and wasting your money with a trade in!
Buying a tractor that is TOO SMALL, to handily do the jobs you desire,..... just because it will fit your barn or trailer, is a VERY POOR idea!
Sell your current trailer (trailers are very EASY to sell).
Buy a bigger tractor, and do a temporary cover until your pole barn is ready.
There are literally dozens of folks here who have done what you propose to do, and all have been sorry $$$$$ that they did so.
The operative phrase here is: "BUY ENOUGH TRACTOR".....meaning the FIRST time!
Howdy from Cheyenne, Wyoming. Considering the purchase of a 2012 Kubota B2320 from the local Kubota dealer. It has 93.8 hours on it, has HST transmission, LA304 loader, and a Woods RB60 rear blade. They are asking $16923 have not had the opportunity to speak to the salesman yet. I live six miles east of Cheyenne on 3 acres. Looking for something to maintain my gravel driveway and clear snow and do some dirt work to level an area for a pole barn. My driveway has a lot of grass and weeds growing in the gravel, would like to reconfigure it to a half circle style in the long run. Would the B2320 be up to the task? The dealership was closed today but went in and took a look at it and it looked pretty good and the tires were in great shape. Anything I should be looking at?

If you are absolutely committed to the little undersized B2320, you should know that $16,923 is way over priced.
324.5 miles up the road from you (in Sheridan), there is a one year newer B2320 with 242 hours, listed on Tractorhouse, for $11,880 (it does not have the RB, but new RB's are sold everywhere....... IMHO the best attachments are made by Everything Attachments, in NC., with no tax and free shipping.)
The B2320 in Sheridan is $5043 LESS than your local dealer is trying to rip you off, for this 11 year old machine.
With no grading experience, your driveway maintenance is best done with a "land plane" rather than a RB.
I have owned multiple tractors, and multiple RB's for over 50 years.
A RB has a long learning curve,...... a land plane can be used/dragged by anyone.
The B2320 is the wrong size tractor for your needs, but you are obviously entitled to spend your $$$$ however you choose.
I must confess that I do think the B2320 is a cute little thing..... and, most importantly, ...... it will fit in your garage
