Buying a Tractor

[bdale]

Hi all!

Looking to buy a new compact tractor and have looked and driven most all of them, whew, hard to make a decision but I believe I have settled on a new 2015- B2650 with front end loader and a 60 inch MMM does 20500.00 tax and all out the door sound reasonable to you

Make sure it's got a SSQA (skid steer type) Quick attach loader bucket.


Price is par for that tractor.

This particular tractor doesn't have it, just regular bucket. Is it a big deal to change over to QA?

get the quick connect for your bucket with the loader. that way all you have to do, is flip two levers. to disconnect or connect to say a set of forks..
it's worth it...

Pricing sounds right for that tractor. Is it big enough for you?
The L series is a step up in size over the BX and B's and all in all the pricing is actually better with current rebates. But you will have to live with a PTO mower.
Belly mounts aren't available.

Probably will be plenty for me just about 2.5 acres mostly mowing. Recently had this property clear cut and stumped and about 30 loads of dirt moved from one side of the property to the other to level it up a bit, had it disc and raked and then sown in grass but about two days after all this it came a down pour and washed a bunch of big ruts in it so I will be doing some loader work and probably box blade to get it right. Also will be used for my garden and some light landscape work, fencing and gravel drive maintenance.

Sounds like whatever you choose will work for you.

Get the QA 60 inch bucket. You'll want to be able to change over to a pallet fork bucket. Lots of uses. Also see if your dealer can weld on a pair of hooks to the 60 inch bucket or get the bolt on hooks from Ken.

QA is great. I love mine.

X20 on the QA. DO NOT BUY A MACHINE WITHOUT THE QA!!!

It will cost you much more in the long run.

The dealer wants to move that leftover machine, make them put it on that machine....

Went yesterday and bought the tractor, 2016 B2650 with LA534A Loader and QA front bucket and a 60 inch Mid mount mower. Still in the crate, they are in the process of assembling and are loading the tires, should have it by Monday.
Was able to barter a bit and get a better price than originally thought 19500.00 tax and all

Ahh...the delicious anticipation of waiting for delivery. Christmas eve for grownups, stretched over a whole weekend. I'm insanely jealous.
