The snowblower should get things just about to the pavement, and the blower is out front.

For the record I went with option 1. I think the tread is too aggressive for my 100% lawn with option #2.

Yes, and a less aggressive "button" design, so that might be easier on the lawn even though it has less "float" than the other wider tire.

Interesting that the more NARROW option (left) has a less aggressive tread. So less float, but might be easier on the lawn. SofTrac is left, Xtra Traction right.

I'm just not certain if I should go with the smaller diameter wider tire or larger diameter narrower turf tire both are turf tires. Again the wider shorter tire has a more aggressive tread .

Thank you. It's surprising how good I hear that turf tires are in winter . Not sure exactly why and to me it seems counterintuitive there are a lot of people saying the turfs do just fine in the winter .

I have a question on which turf tires I should order on my B2601. My 1.6 acres is all lawn and sometimes a bit soft during early spring and late fall. I was thinking getting the wider turf tires to gain float understanding I will lose some traction. I intend to use the unit to carry stuff around...

Thank you. This is very helpful advice. It's going to be the B2601 from everything I have read here.

Thank you. Would you think the snow blower $1,079 deflector comes with the valve up front on the blower that is doing the diverter from the left to right action to the up and down action? If that is the case then there is an electrical cable run to some button that is placed on the bucket...

I now have two formal quotes now with the commercial 55" Snowblower HYDRAULIC deflector. One dealer is $1080 and the other is $2,300.

The tractor is a bit of overkill for my 1.6 acres, but I'm sick of lifting and fighting my snow blower. I don't think I'd use a grapple.... My lot of cleared and all lawn. Makes sense to go electric for a $1500 savings. Still confused that the dealers differ on how it is setup. Thank...

Hello. New to the tractor world and I'm buying a B2601 with a 55" Commercial Snow Blower. To add the hydraulic chute deflector it is $1079. In addition to that, the dealer told me that I need to add the third function to the front hydraulics for about $1200. Total cost to deflect snow...

Thank you. That's exactly it! It really would mess up a larger area than a backhoe would.

Great info OrangeCrush....... Thank you very much.

Very nice of you to point out. I'm learning and appreciate the support.

Thank you. It would be great if I could rent a back hoe. I was unaware of the site line issue. Can I afford a backhoe, yes. It would sit outside behind my shed doing most nothing.

Thank you. Could it be used on shrubs and things smaller than trees?

Thanks. I'm there, it's just the echo of growing up without much. It lingers. I'm hoping the tighter turning radius on the LARGER B2601 will be nimble enough to aerate the lawn from the 3pt rear. If you have an opinion on digging small stuff up with the skid steer shovel I'm interested.

Hello. Total newbie other than a Home Cheapo John Deere LA140 I've owned (junk). I'm debating the BX2680 vs B2601. SO MANY threads on that I get the gist. I only have 1.6 acres relatively flat, open lot, 100% lawn, and only trees are landscaping trees I've planted. Uses are to help haul...
