LX2620 and B2601 commonalities

[Onekawboy]

Wondering if anyone has upgraded to a LX2620 from a B2601? And if so why. Was it wort it ?

Also will the subframe from the B01 fit the LX frame?
I have my B01 setup for sweeper and snowblower ... Would like to upgrade to possibly the cab model but don 't necessary want to repurchase attachments

thanks Newbie .

No they aren't close to the same. The B2601 (small b) and B2650 (big b) don't share much. Even the way the MMM attaches is different. If you look at the Messicks site, they have quite a few comparison videos on YouTube.

Been watching their side by side comparisons ....I figured deck was a no for sure. But the sub frame I was hoping for a solid maybe.
also watch my cluttered garage and GP outdoors ....

Does anyone make a sweeper that attaches to FEL arms yet? Snowblower I could manage w/o

So to go more into this Thread .. Would the B2650 and the 2602 be close frames ..wanting a cab and not the temp style ones .. I do use my tractor mowing ,plowing, dirt work. Just about everything .... maybe a 2650 would be a way to go .. I am 5'6" so cab space would be nice but I'm not cramped really on my 2601,,, small B vs big B ??

Update:
Spent a morning with local dealer.
Cross referencing part numbers between front hitches and model fitment.
Conclusion was / is B and B01 can use same front hitch .. drive lines are different .. LX is a rebranded B tractor using the frame.
So the B01 vs B50 series there is come weight cap. Differences along with motor displacement size .. i felt as i was comparing apples to oranges , where I should have been only comparing apples to apples .. like red delish to granny smiths

The comparision was quite clear when I was tractor shopping in 2021

The LX tractors were rebadged larger B series tractors. One dealer had one of each sitting side by side making it obvious.

Kubota created a new artificial class to force you into buying "options".

Did you decide on whether you are moving up to the LX2620?

That was almost 5 years ago. I have no idea how meaningful that is today.

The LX i wanted to pursue found out they purchased it under commercial so only has 4 months of warranty left .. local interest rates blow .. so back to the drawing board
