You might be able to do light maintenance of existing ditches with such a blade and your 2620 but you will not be able to excavate new ditches with either tractor or blade.

FWIW, my B1750HST, bought new in 1994, has about 675 hours on the clock. Aside from yearly oil and filter changes, periodic HST oil and filter changes, periodic fuel filter changes, routine coolant changes, a couple of front axle and final drive lube changes, and routine lubrication, I have...

I cannot imagine downgrading from a 1025R to a BX anything. For starters, the 1025 has proper position control whereas the BX tractors have a quarter inching valve. You will not like the quarter inching valve. Lack of position control is an absolute show stopper for me.

Verify that the B2601 has position control (I cannot remember). BX series tractors do not but most (all?) B series tractors do. Lack of position control is a show stopper for me. You do not want a BX type quarter inching valve.

Neither wider nor heavier than the recommendations in the Operator's Manual.

I would. Of course you should always return engine speed to idle before disengaging PTO. Still, that's a lot of inertial energy. Similar model Kubota tractors of 7060 vintage have a known weak PTO brake. Subsequent models have a more robust assembly.

Obviously, need to know hours, etc.

You got your money's worth out of those. Yes, they are expensive. Sometimes you need to ream the bushings in the new tire/wheel assembly to assure preoper rotation of the wheel.

If conditions permit I would certainly recommend a quality ZTR if you plan to mow weekly. This is finish mower duty.

More information is needed but in general sizing a tractor/mower combination to your grounds will depend upon how highly you value your time vis a vis how much money you are willing to spend for equipment. More specifically, determining the mazimum size of a rough cut mower will depend upon...

Hard to say considering you are building your flail mower. No way to know what inertial effect your mower may have.

I can relate. I owned an L6060 and loved it, but it is the TOL model complete with many bells and whistles that you will likely never use. I, too, have usually done most of my own work (aside from warranty work) and with all of the complexity, I would not want to own a 20 or 25 year old L6060.

None of the above will work. Hopefully it is still in warranty.

"What I need is another tractor...." Agreed. I do not think you will like the performance with so much offset weight on your 2650.

Sounds like it is working as intended. I experimented with Stall Guard while mowing with my L6060 but determined that I was better at controling engine load and speed that Stall Guard was and discontinued use. When getting into heavy grass, stall guard would reduce ground speed to control...
