Thanks PaulL I don’t foresee having to remove the loader very often. Maybe just switching between a bucket, pallet forks and maybe a grappler

Thx lynnmor I did a little more reading and it seems that the pallet forks might be something to think about adding from the aftermarket. I’m not sure that these pallet forks are adjustable. I thought I read that was something to consider. Same thoughts regarding the cutting edge (I didn’t...

I got the quote back from the dealer for this B2601 build ($29,100 after incentives): PALLET FORK FRAME BOLT ON CUTTING EDGE 7.0 FT BACKHOE + BACKHOE MOUNTING KIT FRONT LOADER LA435 36" PALLET FORKS (1000 LBS. CAPACITY) MECHANICAL 2 LEVER QUICK COUPLER 16" PIN ON BACKHOE BUCKET 54" QUICK...

Thanks Lynnmor I think you’re right about the length of my open trailer. It is also single-axle with no brakes. I’ll cross the trailer bridge at a later date. I’m not sure how often (if at all) the tractor would have to do double-duty at home and at the horse farm (family dues stuff that’s...

Just spoke with dealer in DE (Burke Eqpt). They have a couple in stock. They are going to put together a quote for me. I’m going to try and find some time to take a ride down there (~3.5 hr from me) to see one of these in person. On a related note, what size trailer would I need to move...

RCW, is the thumb an extra option on the backhoe? Sorry if that is a dumb question. It seems like that would make the most sense to have if I wanted to be moving rocks around, no?

Thanks RCW. I should correct my earlier post as the photo I clipped came form a dealer out in WA! THat's a looooooong way away for sure! lol That said, I have purchased cars and had them shipped across the country, but I'm assuming that probably won't be necessary when I'm ready to pull the...

I did a quick search for B2601 for sale. The closest one that came up is in OH, but just from the photos, it definitely looks like something i need to see in person. Like Pail said, it may be the perfect fit for what I need. I saw this new one with a FEL and a BH for $29000. No idea if that’s...

Thanks Paul. I have not seen the 2601 in person. I will see if there are any other Kubota dealers w/in driving distance this weekend. I’ll also try posting a picture of the rocks, boulders and trees I want to move as this might give folks a better idea of my plans for this property.

Also, my Turf Tiger is just two seasons old, so it should have a lot more gas in the tank before I’d have to consider a MMM, and hopefully by then we’ll be talking in terms of much bigger pastures.

The BX23S w/o a MMM was what I was originally thinking about until I actually saw the B2650 in person. I just liked the bigger size with the bigger tires and higher ground clearance. Does that sound ridiculous? I know the B would be more expensive but that’s nit really an issue. The one I saw...

Thanks. For mowing, I think I would just keep my Turf Tiger zero-turn, unless folks thought a tractor could deliver the same results. I don’t have any real obstacles to mow around and can get the yard done in about 30 min on the ZT. Until I stumbled in here, I never even considered getting rid...

Thanks Paul. I will check out that link. This is definitely more of a ‘WANT’ purchase as opposed to ‘NEED’. The primary initial use will be to do some clean-up, move some boulders, shore up a rock wall, and drag out some rotting trees. I am also building a 24x14 shed that I would use the...

Thanks. The local dealer didn’t have a lot of inventory on their lot. They did have a customers BX23S behind the shop so I got to see it in person for the first time. They also had a brand new B2650 with a cab but had no loader or backhoe, but I’m assuming you can buy them separate. They also...

Hello everyone This is y first post. I am in the process of scoping out my first tractor purchase and have sort of boiled it down to the classic BX vs B series tractor. We have two properties. The house we live in ia about 2 acres, evenly split between a large sloped lawn and a ring go trees...
