    Front snow blower for B2601

    We have a BX2822A and a 60" Landpride back blade on our B2601, the set-ups main purpose is snow remaovel 200+ yards of driveway with over 200" of snow each winter. This a great set-up for our needs (PNW snow), only downside is sometimes the blower pushes a layer of snow for a bit. The BX2822A...

    Test driving

    Hmmm, my dealer set up a test drive with tractors that were on the lot. I assume the minimal "hours" on these tractors were part of the purchase for the eventual owners of the tractors. Personally I would always go with the dealer that deliver on service after the sale, and that might not be...

    BX2822A 55" Commercial Snow Blower - What is the HYDRUALIC deflector configuration WITHOUT 3rd function setup

    I have the same tractor/blower set-up. In two winters (average about 140" of snow per winter) of use, I have not had the need to be able to adjust the chute deflection on the fly. Pretty much the same setting all winter long. You could try operating wihout hydrolic chute deflection, might save...

    B2601 regrets?

    B2601 owner...zero regrets. Live in WA also, main use is snow removal (front mount snowblower). No use for a backhoe attachment. SUmmer use is mainly light FEL work. Size is just right for my needs. Based on you property size and work I would look at a B2650

    Negotiating on B 2601 - Web Build Price vs Dealer

    My experience is that you can get X% off MSRP, the amount you may "save" at purchase does not make up for the service you will receive from a good dealer/customer relationship This becomes espically true as the years pass, honestly can not recall the discount I received in the purchase of a...

    Residential 50" vs Commercial 55"

    Another plus for the commercial series is that they generally have a geardrive reduction box, as compared to chaindrive on the residential. The extra for the commercial version is worth it to me: heavy gauge materials, hydro chute rotation and the gear box

    Getting a B2601 (finally)

    You have invested a ton of hours in this decision. I used some of your posts and data comparisons to decide on a B2601 over the BX series about a year ago. The B2601 is just what we need and I am certain that a BX would not have worked out Enjoy the new B2601!

    Down sizing B-Bx

    I say take some time to be sure your current B2601 is really to much tractor. Moving to a smaller machine will likely be costly in terms of your real spend...then maybe that does not matter as much as feeling comfortable with the size

    lx2963 vs lx2980 snowblowers

    Not sure about the blowers you reference for the LX However for the blowers that work on the B series the differences between the commercial and residential are: The comerical uses thicker gauge steel in most areas, has a gear drive for the augers (vs chain on the residental) and the hydraulics...

    B2601 and new LA435 FEL

    Finally got around to removing the BX2822A front mount snowblower from our B2601 over the weekend. Changed the gear oil in the reduction box and gear box, and moved the snowblower, the K-Connect and back blade into the storage shed. First time (for me) installing the LA435 FEL on the tractor...

    B2301 Pricing Help For Selling

    A new B2301 with the same attachments would be around $20.7k plus tax Your used one is averaging about 40 hours per year, which is likely on the low side. I think $15k would be a fair price for you and a buyer...that is a bit more than 30% discount to buying new. You can always reduce the...

    Difference between LA434 and LA435 loaders?

    This is correct based on the B2601 that we purchased in the fall of 2019. The tractor has the single point hydraulic block connection for the LA435 FEL, same as the single point hydraulic block connection on the current BX series tractors. The self-leveling arms are an option/add-on

    Pricing B2650 or wait for Lx2610?

    Difficult times at the moment, and for the next several months at least. Stock at the dealer will likely be something that will "needs" to be moved soon. Hence an in stock B2650 could likely be a bargain.
