I'm approaching 200 hours on a B2601 I bought fall of 2020. About 90% of those hours has been maintaining a 300 yard "ish" gravel driveway with a box blade and mowing around 4 to 5 acres a week April to October with a FDR1660 five foot finish mower. Is the B2601 a great tractor, YES!! Would I...

Maybe I should have bought the QH10 instead of the QH15. Unless my Pat's breaks my QH15 has a permanent resting spot up against my barn wall and ALL of my implements except for my carry-all are Land Pride quick hitch compatible but I still prefer the Pat's hands down. My initial reason for...

Well...........the Pat's is a "half solution" that works TWICE as good for me as my QH15. I don't have the back of a young man anymore and the ease with which I can connect to the pto with the Pat's is night and day better due to better access to the pto. First time I used the Pat's I was able...

To follow up, today I went from Land Pride box blade to King Kutter carry-all to Land Pride finish mower with the Pats with ease. Owning both I can say there is an initial learning curve with the Pats as there is with the QH15 but I just don't ever see myself going back to a QH15 type quick...

Bingo is right Njtool. Sounds like you don't mind going slow when you mow and only have to mow occasionally. Maybe the OP will only be cutting a few times a year and maybe his property is very flat. If so a 5' mower and a LX2610 would be fine. Some of us actually cut 5 acres on a regular basis...

Biggest mistake I made was not realizing how inadequate a 5' mower is for cutting approximately 5 acres that is unless you have lots and lots and lots of time on your hands. If you have to cut this amount on a regular basis get a bigger tractor that can pull a larger mower and equally...

May not be required in the case of a tractor since not titled but a simple Bill of Sale signed by both parties documenting hours on tractor, serial numbers of tractor / implements and is a record of date of the sale between both parties. Unless you have been burned in life by a scenario you...

I'm old school and am about to sell my B2601. I've thought about this but from opposite direction. I am going to require any buyer to meet me at my bank where they will sign a Bill of Sale and then hand me cash or a cashiers check made payable to me in the lobby of my bank which I will then...

Just renewed my B2601 and a number of Land Pride implements. Declared value of the tractor, loader and the Landpride implements was just over $23k. KTAC $365 / year

I'm glad I got the QH15 quick hitch first as otherwise I probably would not have grown to appreciate the Pat's as much as I have. I did end up buying a longer top link from Tractor Supply which was a minor expense. I store some of my implements on rolling dollies to save space in my barn. Having...

I've got a used QH15 I'll sell you as I prefer the Pat's quick hitch everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Better access to the pto to connect pto driven implements (i.e less blurting out of expletives and less back pain) and works with any brand of implement. You will still have to adjust...

I agree with your assessment. Your math is real life math, math calculators fail to take into consideration many factors such as slopes and having to cut around ditches, pond edges, this that and the other. I would love to cut my 5 acres with a 5' finish mower in 3:03.......not happening. If I...

Western KY, slopes are moderate for the most part one area a tad steeper but not terribly steep. My B2601 really struggles in medium gear with the loader on pulling a finish mower on the slopes, does a little better in medium gear with the loader off at the expense of stability. I want to...

I just want to have enough power to mow with a finish mower up moderate to maybe a little more than moderate slopes in MEDIUM GEAR and medium gear speeds without having to drop down to low gear. Grass is cut weekly to bi-weekly so not thick. I also like that the L3301 is rated for a 6' finish...

I'm in the same boat, considering both. My biggest concern is the ability of the L2501 to pull a finish mower up moderate slopes and be able to stay in medium gear. The L3301 is rated for a 6' finish mower also whereas the the L2501 is rated for a 5' finish mower. Sluggishness of the L2501 on...

I built this carry all from a King Kutter frame about a month ago for my B2601. Plans at DIY My Way. It has already been used for spraying, hauling seed, fertilizer etc and carrying weedeaters and other tools around my place to do work. Side panels fold in. I still need to build the removable...

3901 has 2 stage clutch, 3301 has single stage clutch. Also a 3901 gear drive is basically the same cost as 3301 hydrostat. Of the approximate 150 hours I've put on my B2601 over the past year I'd say 80% or more has been mowing. I do however find myself reversing direction a fair amount when...

Have you tried mowing those slopes with the loader off? I can pop the loader on and off my B2601 pretty quick and gives me a good bit more power. Problem with the B2601 and the loader off is the front end becomes very light. Have to be careful. I would think an L3301 or L3901 with spacers and...

Sorry to the OP for getting off topic but may help to realize some of the possible power issues with the L2501 and slopes be it with box blades or mowers. I'm currently using a 5' finish mower but would like to step up to a 6' Lanpride finish mower, be able to handle slopes in medium gear...

Maybe low gear on a L3301 or L3901 is faster than low gear on my B2601. But when pulling my finish mower up a slope on the B2601 in low gear its slowwwww in low gear and with 4 or so acres to cut on weekly basis I need a good medium gear solution.
