    I have a B, not an LX. But it's massively better than a BX for taking the deck on and off, and I think the LX is similar. I can get it...

    Financially, check the values on tractorhouse. Is it a good idea? Nah. I'd keep the excavator and get a used tractor to go along with...

    The B26 is a heavier duty B2601. One key difference is that the loader is not removable, and I think I recall no mid-PTO so no MMM...

    I bought an old BX without a loader. Then added a loader. I think I was $2K for the tractor, $8K for hte loader. But a 15 year old...

    It is low hours. If legit, potentially a steal. One thing to watch out for on low hours machines that are older is that some people...

    If you're definitely needing a backhoe, and not needing to mow, then a B26 would also be a good machine to look at. It's the...

    Position control is the 3pt hitch. The BX, and the older B, had quarter inching. You move the lever up, the 3pt goes up. You let it go...

    The B2601 looks to be a like for like replacement of the B2620. Same weight, same engine. My B2601 goes well. If you're looking for the...

    PaulL replied to the thread B2301 Model Recommendations.
    I went from a BX2350 to a B2601. It is a lot of difference. The BX is a tractor that is basically built to the footprint of a ride on...

    My use is a bit different, but I do have a B2601 with turfs. I do get traction problems pushing into a pile when the ground is wet. I...

    We still get the Lxx40 model here in NZ. Guess they think we won't be prepared to pay what it costs for all those doodads. They're...
